Yep, I’m still playing through ME2. Still loving it and I’m hoping to finish it this weekend.

Not taking anything away from the game, but I am missing a certain sense of freedom that I felt with the first. I realise the M35 (Mako vehicle) was putting a lot of people off, but some of my journey’s in it were awesome. I loved that feeling of exploration. Finding a mineral deposit that wasn’t shown on the map rewarded more exploration.

Still, a truly wonderful game and an even more incredible universe.

I sat for fifteen minutes at work the other day, boring the pants off of someone as I briefly explained the Mass Effect universe, then specifically the Asari race! Incredible.

I have to say this was a marvelous game! I could never finish the first game, got bored halfway through it, but Mass Effect 2 is a thrill ride from start to finish. A true work of art, perhaps some of the side missions could be longer, as some of them are 5 min short in length, but otherwise a stellar achievement! Hope the industry can keep it up with the quality :)!

If you loved Mass Effect 2, then why not try Dragon Age, uses almost the same interface and is very similar in story telling arch.

I think it’s the believable world they’ve created, and the characters within it. Like I said, Star Wars is dead to me and it’s been a long time since the last decent Star Trek. This fits the bill perfectly.

It’s also the same reason why you love MGS3 Phizzy. The same reason that Matt could ‘Peggle’ for England, and the very same reason that Daren sunk three lifetimes into Fallout 3. It just works. :)

I don’t get why this would suck you in so much. I played the first game and I thought the only cool scene was the one where ********* revealed itself in *****’s office. That was really neat. The rest of the game? I don’t know what kept me going.

While I do love me and the me series as a whole I just feel if they can add a few bits back in from the 1st game along with the shooter mechanics from 2 then they will really have an amazing game.

I for one felt there could have been a bit exploration in the second but for story telling its easily up there with the best likes of uncharted 2 and the 1szt mass effect game.

Thanks Hugo.

I’m feeling guilty about playing the second, whilst I’m still in the middle of my second play through of the first game. I can’t wait to finish 2 so I then I can go back and finish 1, then play 2 again!

It feels like I’m having a little taster of my ‘Truffe au Chocolate’ whilst I’m in the middle of my ‘Grilled Calf’s Liver’.

Mmmm, liver.
