Re: Mass Effect 2 Thread
Just started playing last night (with Lv60 import, and the story background I wanted
). Lovin' it.
I admit though, got really confused with the controls at first, and the manoeuvres. I can see why they scrapped some ideas, but there's this annoyance with their own cover ideas that just screws around. Like how you can't reload/ change weapon and take cover simultaneously. And sometimes if you strafe along a barricade and intersect a wall, it assumes ou want to stand up against said wall (or object).
I agree with other members complaints about the subtitles. I have them on to understand what's being said when the sounds too low, our the voice isn't high enough. But don't you think they'd have added a silhouette behind it, just to make the text stand out a little during cinematic's? What's the use if the text is too small or blends in with the scene?
ONE MORE THING! Why the hell did they make both the Left and Right stick buttons activate the map????? FREAKING USELESS! You need ONE stick to engage the map, and the other should have been left for crouching! Which ever dipstick made that error, please, rectify it if and when a Mass Effect 3 comes out.
But, criticism aside, the graphics are great, I love the new Normandy and that they actually have a more realistic size ratio and proportion for the exterior and interior scenes. Scrapping the huge exploration maps on planets is good too. After a while, it gets really old and annoying. The Mako could only climb so much. Finding resources is so much more easier now. The researching idea is cool too, and having to decide what armour and weapons to equip at the start of every mission is cool too. Makes one have to really consider the best plan of attack.
Oh, and thank good they removed that STUPID action from the first, where being hit my a high explosive or Biotic attack left you flung to the ground, and 'retardedly' stuck to slowly recover while you got shot to hell! Now it just knocks you back and gives you at least a small chance to get back into cover.
I'm looking forward to going further into the game. Just up to rescuing Tali now. Those Geth wont know what hit'em!
