isnt this just a tad early, like 2 years too early?



Note: Some games in my collection are no longer owned, but have owned.

I would love to see at ship to ship combat also I think they should allow you to return to Earth and have a few side missions there.



/\ They worked four years on it ... I suspect they have been working on ME 2 already.



What kind of Multiplayer would you want on Mass Effect 2?

MMO?

Partial MMO ala Test Drive Unlimited ? - Restricts the number of people in each universe (the whole universe not just one galaxy) to less then 30, making encounters in the game uncommon but possible

Coop? - Players can join others, but are forced to use one of the characters already in the squad, meaning only one Sheppard per group. XP, Credits earned are not transfered back to joining players.

Me likes ALL THOSE IDEAS!!!! 



I WANT THIS GAME!!!!



starcraft - Playing Games = FUN, Talking about Games = SERIOUS

Well I hope you get an Asari Commando and a Salarian STG in your party in Mass Effect 2. I can almost guarantee that you will end up traveling to the Terminus Systems. That means we will finally get to see, interact, and fight the Batarians instead of only hearing about them.

Side Note: I'd want to the Asari Commando to be Aleena, after hearing Wrex talk about her, she has to be a complete bad ass.



- Deliver on storyline potential. Having decisions made in the first game directly influencing parts of the second game (I assume that’s where they’re going) and have the direction branch even more based on your decisions would be insanely awesome. The potential for interesting replay value would be incredible. As long as they get that down I’ll be happy.
- It’s been said before but it’s a good point – side-quest planets need to be less redundant. After awhile it’s hard to care as much about exploring when you explore the same building interiors a dozen times. Other than that the art of the planets themselves was awesome, but they would have been much more appealing with more to do.
- Add more biotic/tech powers. They’re fun and I hope Bioware gives a bit more to toy around with.
- More dialog with crewmembers. It seemed like they ran out of things to say a bit faster than in previous Bioware games.
- Another thing that’s been said before, but the Mako just flat out needs to be more fun to drive. I hope they work on that a bit.

Those are the main things I’m interested in. I could nitpick about some technical things such as the AI or those elevator rides but if they get the above down I’ll be stoked.



Man, I *just* finished this game (like 5 minutes ago), played renegade all the way through. Im going to replay it as paragon, after I take a break from it for a while.

Anyways, this game was total crack for all of the 30 whatever hours it took me to finish it. I was addicted and I want more!! Some of these subplots were pretty funny, like when I gave that dude the wrong drugs.

Some thoughts.

- Driving the Mako was OK at first but climbing over mountains gets old after a while. I think they could use more unique Mako encounters, kind of like when you first fought that giant land worm thing. I agree with Gebx, upgrades for the Mako would make it more fun, why cant I get a bigger gun installed on that sucka? 

- I had alot of money near the end of the game, and we had bought kick ass everything. Give me more stuff to spend money on. 

- I think the 'sexual' subplots in the game were fine as is, Im not really interested in seeing them put -too- much more effort into that aspect, but definitely bring more of the same for next round. 

- I would be against adding any kind of multiplayer. This game excels at being a single player action/rpg. Id rather have them use their resources to focus on more of the same. This universe would make a GREAT MMO setting, but that would be better off as a seperate game in itself.

- I hope we get to explore the Terminus system in the next game. Make it wild and dangerous.  

 In summary they have a great formula here, I wouldnt want to see them alter it too much. Just tweak out some of the rough spots. Kudos to Bioware, one of the best games ive played, ever.
