Yes, that is pretty strange, that someone wouldn't know anything about a game they never played before. No one should avoid spoilers or go into any game blind.

It's pretty strange that you didn't figure it out on your own. Or that somehow in 8 years you've heard absolutely nothing about this game that is beloved and known about all over the world as one of the best games of all time.
Kind of hard to figure it out on the first play through, when you only learn about the trigger that brings in the Collectors after it happens.
Would rather keep things as is for the Joker and Edi moments alone though, instead of saving some faceless crew (And one annoying character who keeps nagging you about checking your damned inbox..)

If I played this before, say, Dragons Dogma or Vanquish, I might think so. But coming into it now, the gameplay really bringing it down somewhat.
Don't get me wrong, it's an awesome sci-fi setting, the characters are great, the set pieces ranges from nice to incredible, and the games are packed with detail. It's kind of like playing Babylon 5 or Deep Space Nine.
And the combat is serviceable.. It's just, combat is literally the last thing I like doing. It can drag, on longer missions.

It's not really knock on the series.. I mean, combat being a weak point seems to be a concensus.
It does a lot of things right, and the combat mechanics certainly improve from ME1 to ME2..
But if all I wanted to do was kill some time with action, and do nothing else, ME isn't the series for that. Something like Gears, Bulletstorm, or even MGS is (Or in my case, Transformers Devastation, where I spent more time brawling on the bonus content then the core game..)

Gender: Male Location: In Luna's mane, chasing STAAARS!
I like the combat especially if you coordinate with your squads to make good combos/vantage points. Plenty on here say they don't do that when they play Mass Effect but I do for the sake of immersion.
So, I actually reverted to an old save, just to save the crew. Just cleared past about five missions, am preparing to tackle the final loyalty mission (Tali), and I go to my cabin to change out the Cerberus armor for a custom. I get to the cabin, and notice the fish are dead.
I forgot to have anyone feed the fish.
Goddamn it.

So far, ME2 is one of the coolest game i ever played but the only thing that i hate on this game is the lack of equipments(i meant lack of weapons that we had)

Was so busy worrying about saving everyone, I forgot to do relationships.
Poor Shep didn't even have his fish to keep him company.
Well, I saved Shadow Broker for post game, so maybe I can still get him a happy ending..
