Spoiler:
you bring legion onto the citadel and when the c-sec customs were talking about tight security because of geth infiltrations, legion snaps back with "geth do not infiltrate".It gets funnier when the officer refers to him as a synthetic assistant and legion snaps again "geth do not intentionally infiltrate".
Finished playing the first game for the third time last night to get refreshed, then bought the second today.
What struck me going through the first game this time is how lousy some of the actual gameplay mechanics are. The combat is clunky and awkward at times, only hampered by the technical issues. The level design of the first game is decent but levels tended to get tired quickly. I found myself rushing through the actual gameplay to get to the character interaction, which is still superb.
So far the second game is near perfection. Took everything that was great from the first game, like the character interaction and made it even better. All while totally revamping and tightening the things that were lacking. The combat is excellent now, plays like Gears of War. The levels are much better and have more flow to them; they feel more like a real place now. The storyline is much more engaging and immediate than the first. And the technical issues are gone. Also glad that they did away with the driving segments from the first game, as those felt like nothing but filler.
So far, this is shaping up to be one of the best games of the generation.
I lol'd when I used a Renegade option and told this guy I was interrogating that if he wouldn't cooperate, I'd tear off his nuts and give them to a Krogan. He was so scared.
After I finished Grunt's loyalty mission, I went back to Tuchanka and EDI was telling us that several female Krogan wanted to be Grunt's mate and one Krogan wanted to be Shepard's. Grunt couldn't help but laugh and this was when I was playing female Shepard. Just so you know, you really don't get freaky with a Krogan (thank god).

This game is so funny.Spoiler:
Salarian Singing, headbutting Krogans, krogan poetry, the whole salarian bachelor party conversation in illium, Joker's arguments with Edi, Joker saying "take pictures!" when Miranda and Jack are fighting...shit the list goes on
And the first one you said was the best. Mordin is becoming one of my favorites. So far of all the characters I love Ashley, Miranda, Garrus and Mordin. That's personality and character wise not gameplay wise.

By far Mass Effect's greatest and most original character

hm, you're right. (that's crazy. no ps3 ver. could've sworn they had it) it's only 360 and pc but it still would've looked better than a ps3 version had one existed, i'm sure of it.
it will look better on the systems it was developed for.on/with.
Thats the reason PS3 exclusives look better than xbox ones, games developed for BOTH consoles are made on the weaker system. That way , they can be sure it will run (albeit kinda buggy - see bayonetta) on the more powerful system.
If Modern warfare was a PS3 ip first, and took full advantage of the hardware, the difference between the ps3 and xbox versions would be like the difference between the xbox and wii versions..alot!
Anyway back to the thread, finally ported a 100% quest complete shep, ME2 is such an advancement it's unreal. EVERYTHING is streamlined, the bad in the first game really stands out after youve seen what they (bioware) have accomplished with the second game. I didnt think it was possible for my shep to look any better, but when i ported him, his dials went up to 11. Awsome Game.
Just managed to get No One Left Behind.
I get this warm feeling of accomplishment for having the entire squadron and crew survive.
Now Imma find a copy of the first game. Full Paragon it and continue the Paragon in ME2 for the 3rd game.
Something tells me Shepard will need the help of every single alien race against the Reapers and having them at full strength which means...
Spoiler:
the Rachni get a 2nd chance to live, the Krogan genophage being cured, the Quarians with the research of Tali's father, the Geth assimilating the Heretics and the old council since the Turians are heavily pissed off at humans for letting the old council die...(eventhough they ****ing had it coming)Did anyone notice the change in the star/glove whatever behind Illusive Man when you choose the paragon end?
Makes me wonder if there is any meaning behind that.
By the way I can't stand the thought of Shepard having chosen Udina instead of Anderson in the defaul ME2 story. Its just so fkn wrong. Udina pisses me off.

Wow, so far you guys are like the opposite of the Bioware Forums. All I ever hear over there is suck, suck, suck, suck, suck.But you guys make me want to play it, even though my laptop prolly can't take it. Think I'll go Sentinal...
Probably a bunch of elite fans that think they can do better than Bioware who expect Bioware to make a better game without changing anything what so ever.
I am a proud fan of Bioware and I am the first to admit they are not perfect. I must add that Bioware definitely did a great job with this sequel. Pretty much fixing what needed tweaks and replacing what wasn't really working/needed in the first game.
My only real complain is that scanning can get tedious, but if you make a habit of scanning planets every time you join a new system/prior missions it doesn't really get annoying. No where near close the Mako--kindda miss the Mako, but I have to say it wasn't really that fun either. I really hated how the physics made exploring worlds in the damned thing was frustrating.
