If they do it better not be so laughably stupid and hammy as the first games. Seriously when I did it simply out of intrigue, I couldn't stop laughing, one of the worst romances I've seen in a video game.

Yes I am excited, I hope the game lets you continue after you finish the main story this time, that was my biggest beef.
Well, it is a trilogy...
I mean that I couldn't roam space after the last mission, and I'm the kind of guy who does the story first, sidequests later.

Apologies, quick-reading gone wrong.

I have to say you don't really miss much if you don't do the sidequests in ME though.

Yeah, Mass Effect 1 is my favorite game, ever, and I have high hopes for ME2.
That said, there's always the chance it'll all go horribly wrong...

Mass Effect 1 was the best RPG of this generation. The second installment promises to improve upon all of the minor flaws in Mass Effect that prevented it from being perfect. I haven't been this pumped for a game since Halo 2.

Well I think one way to look at ME2 is that we can expect an improvement of the gameplay mechanic, at least on an action level (the RPG element seem a bit left over, but still present in my opinon, in a way ME is still fundamentally a shooter, we have no real reason to think they have made thing worst)

However storywise we have to fear the tend to infantilise and labelling them Darker and edgier. But in a way the original mass Effect storyline is pretty damn basic in itself, I kinda expect that Bioware tried something new, however the fact in its all out stated that it is the middle installement pretty gurantee you some unsastisfying ending

Dear God yes - luckily I bought Dragon Age off of Steam yesterday and it is b-fucking-rilliant, so it should keep me busy until release date.

The games are designed to stand-alone but also fit into the overall trilogy.

The trilogy was planned before the first, and the ending to the first wasn't shit.

Woah, I'm the first to vote that I hated the first one. :S

I started to get into the RPG side of things, the dialogue, choosing how to deal with situations etc... But the combat was horribly clumsy and the constant micro-management of items drove me up the wall. Like most RPGs, I like the idea and usually the plot, but the dull, repetitive gameplay and crappy combat always puts me off, the same thing happened with every Final Fantasy I've tried to play. I kept trying to get back into ME, but the gaps between playing it were so long I kept forgetting the plot and losing interest again, eventually traded it in.

I love RPG's of any description but never bothered picking up Mass Effect, though at a loss of games to play at the end of 09 a friend leant it to me and I got really engrossed in it. Space stuff doesn't usually thrill me so I was really pleasantly surprised and picked myself up a cheap copy but I still look to ME2 with the same attitude I did to the first, probably won't bother with it till it has come down in price.

The first one had little and bad combat and the sidemissions sucked. Hope they have fixed this in ME2

And all non-story mission planets felt all like eachother but with just a different skin

Yes yes yes yes!
Of course I'm looking forward to ME2. It'll be a flawless game what I have heard from that they have fixed all negative things from the first game. It'll be awsome, I promise.
Collectors Edition allready pre-ordered ofc.


Spoiler Alert! (Kinda)

With the first one my impression was a resounding....meh. So no, I'm not going to pick it up.

Only just yesterday I finished my first playthrough of ME1. I liked it quite a lot, so chances are very good that I'll get ME2 as well. As others have said, though, the real letdowns in the game for me were the micromanaging of upgrades (especially once you started getting close to the 150-item limit) and all the Mako travel. It was fun for a while, and there's a certain amount of novelty in each world, but if you're doing all the sidequests then there was just too much of it. Especially if you're trying to find all the interesting locations without looking at the wiki maps.

(I did like the way the levelling worked though -- it was satisfying when by the end of the game I was one-shotting the geth grunts [though the armatures still took a bit more work]. Gave a sense of progression and achievement that some games lack.)
