I am enjoying ME2 at this time. but I don't like the changes they made to combat, leveling ect. I still run into the same routine of only playing for an hour or so before I shut it off because its just to damn linear when you start a mission. It is fun but I enjoyed the first a lot more.

Sell a man a fish you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish you just ruined a perfect business opportunity.

We didn't emerge out of the stone age because we ran out of stones. Its time to be proactive not reactive.

Apparently GTA4 is better than both since they gave it a 10......

What does that have to do with anything?

Perhaps the notion that Meta scores determine what games are 'the best/GOTY material/etc....'

Is it out of place for this thread, yes.

Hes not talking about the meta scores.....hes just saying that GTA 4 got a 10 on IGN and ME2 didnt.....it has nothing to do with anything.

Its borderline trolling to be honest......



N64 is the ONLY console of the fifth generation!!!

I agree with him so far granted I only put in about 5 hours, so far I prefer the first one

So tell me, how is the battle system better in the first one and how are the characters more memorable?

Isnt this scores what started this ruccus? ME2 9.6 U2 9.5 and fanboys started rampaging because of the .1 difference then comes IGN adding more fuel to the fire saying ME2 is better than U2 "deal with it fanboys" with the .1 difference.

well for starters I play as an adept, in ME2 you can cast the powers far to fast, So far I just been running through blasting people with warp meeting no resistance it seems. it made the battle system far to easy. Maybe I will get used to the weapon system but it seems sorta lame to me right now, It just doesn't feel like an rpg meaning you don't see how much expirenece you earn after every enemy defeated, like the first one. As far as characters I dont really know how I feel about the ones in part 2 yet the story just feel weaker for some reason. There are other things but thats the main reason why I prefer the first one so far. That all could change when I put more time in though.

Well, if you're only 5 hours in you probably haven't even got Jack and Grunt yet. And everyone else seems to be complaining that Adepts are weak compared to ME1.

Adepts are pretty much useless on anything above normal, where all the enemies have shields/barriers/regenerating health. Infiltrator is about the only class that can beat the game on Insane.

Try Insane. But prepare to cry for difficulty. LOL.

Also Cahracters are much more embelishing in ME2. They feel more real. Less Robotic. Just wait till you meet certain characters. Awesomes the word. Also I love the fact that the stats are hidden. Why should we see countless stats when the 360 can work it out behind the scenes. Stats only ever existed because thats how Table top RPG's had to show attack and defense ( long before computers were around ). That wasnt even why people played tabletop RPG's. It was the actual Role Playing and decisions that Tabletop RPG's were played for. Not countless stats of needless items.
