I still hold up the belief that Mass Effect's combat system was a pile of shit. I loved the rest of the game though, if Mass Effect 2 improves on the combat I'll love it without a doubt.
Mass Effect 2 - the game of our generation?

Apparently they've improved it a lot. I've been reading a few hands-on previews and everyone has reported the combat to be more fluid and satisfying, in a Gears of War kinda way (i.e. cover-based).AverageJoe said:
The elevator loading screen thingies have apparently been completely changed, perhaps now we get cutscenes or something, like in the Darkness.
I played ME1 and i loved the gameplay and alittle bit of the cut senes. If you like sci-fi games ME1 is really good.
Never played ME1, so I'll be interested in seeing how good it's sequel is. That's all I can add to this I'm afraid.
Fair enough, different strokes and all that.Dr Grimoure said:
The first one is one of my all time favorites, and would be in my top 3 were it not for the niggly combat flaws and dull planets.

This was just the biotic combat, the soldier is much more shooty and the techy one has bots and hacking and stuff.
I really hope so. I was a bit let down by the big games in 2009, I hope 2010 starts with a bang.Fappy said:
Sorry to bump, but the first couple of reviews are out.
90% and 95% from two mags I read.
Critics can't always be trusted, but it's looking promising.

I don't see why people care for the sequal to a very mediocre game.
I'd go for the Gears of War series for your question.
Lancers will be the golden standard for bad ass weapon for a long time imho.

That's your opinion.Axolotl said:
Mine differs. I thought they were some of the best, most developed characters I've seen in any game.
I'm very excited about Mass Effect 2 and I think that it will be the same, if not better, than the first.
Each time I play Mass Effect, I get hooked on it and, to me, everything about the game is great. Even the Mako (I had no problems controlling it).

I'm utterly psyched for Mass Effect 2, given Mass Effect 1 is currently my favourite XBox game (even though the side missions and the elevator bits were boring as hell). I think saying the game looks amazing is a huge understatement, from the way the videos are shaping up it's looking to be my favourite game of all time, especially as the side missions and combat seem alot tighter than it's predecessor.
Also I have to ask the people who dislike the "edgy"/"darker"/"mentally unstable" companions, what about Jacob, Garrus and Tali? We know that Garrus and Tali are at least somewhat stable from the first game and Jacob seems to have his head screwed on right from what I've seen. Remember, this game represents Shepard desperately trying to recruit the most skilled/suicidal people in the galaxy to help him and the galaxy is a BIG place to find them. I think it makes sense, Shepard has to be careful not to lose himself whilst being forced to ally with utter nutcases. It's somewhat poetic when you think about it.
So yeah, bring on Friday 29th January! (You lucky Americans, grumble grumble)

I hated the Mako sections, apparently they've been completely removed.Slash Dementia said:
Well said, I'm hoping there's going to be some Dragon-Age style inter-team drama.Steampunk Viking said:
