[QUOTE=haloguy234;25691855]Do what I did, wire the connection yourself. [editline]27th October 2010[/editline] Level up more. Get better gear. At Level 58 with maxed Sniper Rifle and the top class Spectre sniper rifle it's incredibly accurate. It doesn't even bob.[/QUOTE] I don't have the wire to connect it, I don't think we have an extra plug, it'll be hard to find a wire long enough, and it would be very inconvient to have the wire go from my room to the place where you plug it it. Oh, and Mass Effect 1 can go fuck itself.

In hind sight it was probably a stupid reason but hey, I've grown to like the thing.

[QUOTE=DiscoInferno;25689539]I can't hit shit in Mass Effect 1 except with the pistol and the occassional lucky shot with the sniper rifle.[/QUOTE] Late in the game you can end up with assault rifles that can be fired constantly without ever overheating and that don't lose accuracy, even while moving. It was pretty hilarious.

I will admit, I like Mass Effect 2 a wee bit more than the first installment because BioWare changed the inventory system. The first game was great, don't get me wrong. I love that game to death. But when I went back to replay it I felt so overwhelmed. There are so many guns, so many choices. In Mass Effect 2 it's simple, straightforward, and concise. It's still equally entertaining, too.

I liked having an inventory but I wanted one that was more organized

I like how they simplified things. ME1 felt so cluttered and repetitive in regards to inventory... it was the same gun and armor names over and over with a different numeral at the end. Although I love ME1 to death in that it kicked off the series, it just feels very tedious and boring to play after playing ME2 for a while. Whenever I want to start a new Shepard I always dread slogging my way around Feros and Noveria again.

The only thing I hate about doing that is driving that horrible Mako. I hate that thing. On my recent femshep playthrough, about halfway through the game I really got into it. It's interesting though, replaying games. Both Mass Effect and Mass Effect 2 seem a lot shorter now that I've played them both at least four times over. I'm around five hours into Mass Effect 2 and I'm almost at the encounter on Horizon, roughly a third through the game. This is with a freshly imported character from the first game, too.

[QUOTE=mercurius;25688333]Another DLC before new year would be nice, I hope they announce one in the next weeks, but it's gonna get hard to pull off a better one that LotSB. They should add something so you can fight more often on random planets, just get us out of the Normandy, my trigger finger itches.[/QUOTE] I'd love this so much.

[QUOTE=DiscoInferno;25677932]In my experience, shotguns do jack shit in every game I've ever played.[/QUOTE] 3star Specter Shotgun, Frictionless materials, Polonium rounds, = Dead Maw in 6 shots, dead Battlemaster in three, and dead Armature in Five on Insanity, provided you actually utilize the skill.

After blowing through the main stories of mass effect 1 and 2 in the space of a single wednesday, I decided to go back to ME1 and playthrough as a biotic instead, but after ME2 the entire thing felt so unbelievably slow and overcomplicated that I couldn't force myself past the citadel.

[QUOTE=JohnnyMo1;25695312]Late in the game you can end up with assault rifles that can be fired constantly without ever overheating and that don't lose accuracy, even while moving. It was pretty hilarious.[/QUOTE] It's a shame that the only class that can use assault rifles is the soldier, and that's the most boring class in the game.

I feel like the only one who enjoyed ME1 far more than ME2. ME1 felt like a vast universe to explore, ME2 felt shockingly linear.

[QUOTE=Shibbey;25703219]I feel like the only one who enjoyed ME1 far more than ME2. ME1 felt like a vast universe to explore, ME2 felt shockingly linear.[/QUOTE] I agree but I still like ME2 more anyway. Just felt a lot more polished.

[QUOTE=Shibbey;25703219]I feel like the only one who enjoyed ME1 far more than ME2. ME1 felt like a vast universe to explore, ME2 felt shockingly linear.[/QUOTE] My friend's like that, he doesn't like ME2 that much.

[QUOTE=Shibbey;25703219]I feel like the only one who enjoyed ME1 far more than ME2. ME1 felt like a vast universe to explore, ME2 felt shockingly linear.[/QUOTE] I enjoyed ME1 just a little bit more than ME2 because what was gained in improvements to the combat was lost with the simplifying of pretty much every RPG aspect that carried over.

I liked ME2 a little better because of less USELESS side missions and, imo, more interesting characters

I loved the side missions in the first game.

[QUOTE=haloguy234;25705341]I loved the side missions in the first game.[/QUOTE] It got annoying when Hackett told me to find a survey team/person/nuclear device every 5 minutes.

Wouldn't mind another BDTS type dlc, really loved the outdoor environment in that one.

I liked how big ME1 felt, it just felt a whole lot more expansive and open than ME2 for some reason. Although I do like the characters in ME2 a bit better.

I feel that while ME2 loses in quantity, it gains in a lot of quality and is a much more emotional, well polished game. That explores individuals and small groups in more depth. Whereas ME, was kind of a little bit of everything sort of deal. ME2 covers less, but in more detail.

ME1 felt empty for me...

ME got pretty deep in some ways. But I felt ME2 was a much more emotional and gripping experience. Needless to say, I teared up a few times, and cried at Thane's loyalty mission.

The Mako would've been OK if you didn't have to do those horrible missions with it every few fucking minutes. Every time that damn game had a driving section a little piece of me died.
