The AI can be pretty awful in this game, but you might not notice it unless you play on the harder difficulties. I once saw Grunt dash across a battlefield only to get blasted by a fully armored Krogan he was trying to shoot with his shotgun. I guess it was partially my fault for letting him use it in the first place.

True again - the AI isn't so good. They sometimes seem very risk averse, just saying in cover and not standing to fire.

He will rage over scanning.
I personally don't like that I have to go all the way back to my shp, just to put on the armor i bought. It's like walking back to your house to eat a meal, instead of inthe resturant.

I complain about the talking I'm sure. He disliked conversation in the first ME and this was basically more of the same. (A good thing for many people.)

-Probe launched
-Babysitting team members (probably how he would interpret the loyalty missions)

So...Yahtzee pretty much told us what he was going to review this week in his Borderlands review: Mass Effect 2. And because he's Yahtzee, he's not willing/allowed/won't mention what he likes, so lets take a guess at what he'll hate.

Who wants to take the first stab and see if their right this Wednesday?
They made it less RPG-y and more shooter-y, he should love it.
Even if he does love it, he'll still have to talk about what he hates. Because people ***** at him if he ever dares to like, or dare I say, love a game.
Wasn't that the reason he hated BioShock because everyone bitched at him for liking Psychonauts?

OT: Never played the game, and don't intend to.
Something like that. Though to be best, I didn't rate BioShock myself. Just one of those games I didn't like personally.

Ok, I was with you up until the Keanu Reeves bit... I didn't really notice a change between ME1's voice acting on Shep and ME2's voice acting on Shep.

Uh? Whats that got to do with the price of biscuits?

OT Scanning, chest high walls, lack of inventory, lack of real customisation and not a great plot.

Doug, you have allot you need to think about given that fact that you don't feel bad about posting a thread like this.

Yahtzee is just a person, sure most of his reviews explore the negative side of games but it not a simple shit-storm, nobody would watch that. he exposes the negative to enforce the many positive aspects of gaming and perhaps make people think about what they enjoy in a more critical way, so they can find what's truly good and what they truly enjoy, not just what they learned to cope with.

For whatever mass effect is, I'm sure it will still be from his head, no point in talking about it really. especially if the end is to just gloat like a fool.

Of course he hates it. Mass Effect 2 is a good game, but it's best to assume he hates it (along with everything else that's good in this world). That way when he really does say it's a pile of shit (which he probably will) we won't be so heartbroken. Maybe he'll pleasantly surprise us... Sorry couldn't say that one with a straight face :D

He's stated time and time again that he has an abject dislike for roleplaying games, especially roleplaying games. So yes, he's going to be mean to mass effect 2.

He's gonna LIKE Bad Company 2.
Gasp. Are you going to make him? I'm in. *Cocks internet shotgun.*

He dislikes all games really. And insults the people who make and play them. According to him I am a Twitchy, schizophrenic, foaming at the mouth gelatinious creature.

...Your either joking or serious. Most likely joking, but if serious you are a mad man.

OT: like a lot of other people said, Scanning. Even though I like it, hes gonna hate it.

Yahtzee hates practically everything. The man is a walking, talking hate robot.

I'm expecting nothing less than his rant on EA and BioWare for not being innovative enough. Why do you think I gave up on watching his so-called "reviews" a long time ago?

he doesn't hate portal booyeah!
double booyeah, he likes the Orange box in general.
Triple booyeah, that's HL2 and TF2 (someone had to say it).

OT: I haven't played ME2 (I got MAG instead) but, since everyone says scanning, why not? Majority rules... unless your say counts for 1,000,000,000,000,000 (or a dictator)... then you've won the game, including life, happiness and all that other crap.

Of course not. It's something, so he's probably not going to like it. Same goes for Mass Effect 2, but maybe we can cross our fingers and hope that he'll find things in which it has made improvements over the already wonderful first game. Besides, that's Yahtzee's job: he's paid to review games. Saying things good about something usually isn't very funny and he had to struggle with self-deprecating humor when confessing that he found nothing wrong with Portal. I'm almost positive the Portal review is a one-time thing. As he said, fanboys/fangirls know what they love and they don't want anyone saying anything bad about it but we need someone to come down on our interests sometimes to remind us that nothing is perfect, there is someone out there that is going to find the stain on the perfect piece of art and the gold nugget hidden in a piece of shit. He probably won't like Mass Effect 2, but is that so terrible? Are we to hate is as well because he found problems in it? I'm sure it has flaws and there are areas that are annoying/unsatisfactory in it, but it made us happy, got us involved in a really good story, and was overall a satisfactory game. For me, that's enough and we should not worry too much about those that find faults. I'm guessing we want our game to be respected by someone like Yahtzee because he has a public voice that is often heard, a popular show that several people mindlessly draw their conclusions from (i'm not going to say that I don't fall into that category at times), and we like the idea of someone so critical finding good things to say about that one game we think deserves praise. It still deserves praise even if Yahtzee picks it apart like he always does. We'd say that he sold out/broke down/is losing his touch if he starts reviewing games in a purely promotional way anyway. It's like the Justicar said: when you get three humans in a room there will be six different opinions. That's the way it should be and we shouldn't get discouraged that someone whose critiquing we enjoy so much won't take it easy on such a overall beloved game.

Whew, so there are my thoughts on that.

Yeah, I would of done that too but sometimes he reviews a game that I absolutely don't like so I agree with him on it
