Tfw I finally romanced the qt masked alien(Mass Effect 2 Playthrough thread)

Anyways. By the time I was finished playing today I only got to Omega, was REALLY pissed I couldn't find Tali from the get go but oh well.
The first person I looked for my team was Archangel, a Turian who has been a thorn at the gang groups in Omega....little did I know it was Best Friend Garrus. So now from where I left off i'm helping him get through gang groups.

Also, Jacob is okay, Miranda is meh and Kelly freaks me out.

I hope you didn't like the 80s sci-fi of the first game

I was REALLY surprised how drastic they changed the design honestly. It's like KOTOR to KOTOR2. The UI is completely different, now you have ammo to deal with and abilities are actually more satisfying now. The lighting is wierd and all of the characters have better facial animations.

I've just started again last night, and it hit me just how much of a tonal shift the game had.  I really miss the old Normandy, and the old music in general.  ME is kind of all over from game to game, and it always feels off to me when anything from ME, like Saren, is mentioned in ME2.. Almost like ME2 is more of a reboot than a sequel.

Yeah, it really felt wierd. It doesn't feel bad in any way. Just odd.

Yeah, you'll like ME2 once you get passed all the daddy issues.  It's not a bad game, just different

The Keyboard controls are wierd too. However after some time with them they are extremely superior to ME1. I actually command my team to do shit this time

Yeah combat is way better, especially since people take cover and don't just run around like chickens with their heads cut of going "Enemies everywhere!"  But I do miss some of the large scale open terrain and mountain fights from the uncharted worlds in ME  The semi-retconned ammo is weird, too

Yeah the combat isn't a chore now

Combat was great in ME1. It's not even that different in 2.

Hell I'd say it was even better because no ammo.

ME1 combat was pretty clunky and the AI was not the greatest of them all. However the no ammo was very nice.
ME2 cover to cover combat and team abilties are much better imo. The only thing I don't like is the ammo issue.

ME2 is definitely more cover based and shooter like, as if it were the focus of the game.  Where ME was a lot more run and gun and, for me at least, devolved into shooting things to death before I could even use a power.  Absolutely not as bad as people make it out to be, combat just isn't the main focus of the game.

Huh, I thought I was the only one that thought this.

And yeah, ME2 has always felt disjointed from the first, and I think it's mostly because EA wanted it less 80's and more 'modern'

Oh god I forgot how shit the new galaxy map is

Oh god I forgot how shit the new galaxy map is

Idk why they made it that way tbh. Makes it really wierd to traverse.

Same in ME3. I prefer ME1.

Hes that ninja

I've also just noticed that Shepard's armor is the only armor in the game with that weird texture, and it's really off putting

Now. I really don't mind spoilers at this part.

How do I recruit Tali?

The first thing that comes up when I load the game is an EA Login.

Fuck that.

Oh man, I got that when I started Dead Space 2 a couple of weeks ago, glad that that shit died.

I want to continue  the game

But I can't

Shit

I started playing again.

My god I love Mordin

Decided to use the red head since ME3 has it, only I won't be using that face. It looks better in this one than ME1 thanks to mods for the eyelashes and textures.

Oh right, named Ryder. Literally Fate servants

I think the ammo argument is a little silly. It never really bothered me at all, maybe it was because I played as a Sentinel and mostly used my abilities more than weapons.

I just missed the weapon customization from the first game. At least they had some sort of customization in ME3.
