Its on the normal difficulty level. Im not pretending its just my preferance. I'm not hating on the game at all I said I enjoyed it. I already pointed out what I prefered in part one. As everyone can agree with the two games are very different, so why is it so hard for some of you to take that someone would enjoy one over the other?

I have no problem with anyone preferring the original Mass Effect. It was a great game, and I can see reasons why some people would prefer it. However, your only real complaint about Mass Effect 2 is that it's "too easy". Considering that the game allows you to adjust the difficulty on-the-fly, I find that an extremely odd complaint.

(By the way, every class can steamroll through the game on Normal. It's not meant for experienced gamers.)

That wasn't my only complaint. I also made mention to the fact that the xp you earn after a fight doesn't show up. it feels more TPS than FPS, and as far as TPS's are concerned its deff not my type. Im not going to re-type my post you can read them if you want, but that was only one thing I didn't like.

Well before I state my opinion, I would like to state I thought Mass Effect 1 was my least favorite Bioware RPG they made. Which of course isn't saying much but I was let down a lot in that game. It was short, wasn't much of an RPG, and the choices you made didn't ever seem to have an effect... felt like a gimmick basically.

Now going into Mass Effect 2, I was hyped for it, but not psyched. But I do feel that Mass Effect 2 was a better game than the first. But some similar issues and some different ones. First, still doesn't feel like an RPG at all. Definitely has some elements, but ya know. Second, the story really isn't that great. It draws you in to see what happens, but they focus way too much on Shepherd and his relation to his crew. Story is few and far between and the moments ya do get don't have much to them. If that game was simply played for the sake of story, think I could have beat it in 15 hours which is rather short. But the main thing I did like about the game was the attention to detail on about everything. You really did feel like you were playing out a mission rather than living through it. Definitely a plus. Gameplay was fun and varied along with the missions you went through.

Overall it was a great game, and I'd definitely agree with a score of about a 9.0. However, I wouldn't say this game is the upper echelon of video games, nor would I say about the first one. Bioware's previous games before this were definitely much better. But it is nice to see them taking strides in characterization in video games, something that is well pathetic in most. Only think that hurt their characterization, is emotions were displayed so badly through character facial responses. Definitely something the industry as a whole needs to work on.

the first one was rather short... I completed it in around 16 hours. I hear part 2 is about double that time though.

Ign? Ther're much in favour of other games, since games like GTA is rated better by critics

I enjoy the thought of one man being able to anger so many.

I didn't say it was your only complaint; I said it was your only real complaint.

No, "not seeing the XP you earn after a fight" isn't a real complaint. However, it does make me wonder what your reaction would be if you learned that Mass Effect 2 doesn't actually award any XP for fighting...

The game seems to doing pretty well and great review, but mentioning it's better than Uncharted 2 doesn't convince a bit.

lol thats why i cant see it. I didnt know that but thats the thing maybe its just my preferance it just doesn't feel like an RPG. and i prefered how things were set up in the first game. hopefuly things change, but if not it wont be a big deal still a fun game.
