Sounds good. But they toned down the RPG part of combat it seems. And the combat was already RPG Lite to begin with. Now it sounds like just a shooter.

Will I miss too much by having ignored the really boring side quests of ME1 for my ME1 transfer data?

 

[DTWolfwood]

Noooo...i just bought STO! dont have time for this and that!...

Guess ill just have to wait till its $30 like the last game ._.

 

[addeB]

Sounds good. But they toned down the RPG a ton it seems. And the combat was already RPG Lite to begin with.

I wouldn't say they toned down the RPG a lot at all. ME2 is virtually identical to ME in that regard - though I will say that stat allocation has been tweaked slightly. As for whether you missed too much by skipping side quests...overall, I'd say no. You'll perhaps miss maybe a reference or two, but if you played the majority of the game, you're good.

Video does not work, and I hope the game is as good as you described.

Same here, the video died. Very much looking forward to the game, which should be in my mailbox any day now.

I played the first 3 times. Well, kinda. I beat it once, got up to the end two more times. Then the side questing made me give up. Well, then. *back to ME 1* To finish up the main plot.

 

[crotalidian]

is it me or does the paragon/renegade conversation option sound liek a boiled down QTE? Sounds great but I cant get the vid to work either

And it is kind of like a QTE, but it's optional and actually quite cool.

preordered, baby yeah!

 

[Susan Arendt]

Ok, guys, try the video now.

 

[insectoid]

Way to make me want to buy a game I promised myself I couldn't have until I finish the ones I got. Must...stay away...from.......shops....

 

[Onyx Oblivion]

Ok, guys, try the video now.

It's working.

 

[Quad08]

Getting it in 4 hours!

 

[loremazd]

Hey wait a minute... Boo was a space hamster! The universes are linked!

 

[Joa_Belgium]

Ok, guys, try the video now.

It's alive! Thanks for the quick fix!

 

[Lost In The Void]

Actually a good review. Mail people screwed up and gave me my copy yesterday already, so I've already got 9 hours clocked and planning on adding way more after tonight. I love the game, save for the mining of course, and feel as if it adds to the legacy they've began to create

 

[Steampunk Viking]

3... more... days... *Rocks back and forth in the corner*

Damn you lucky North Americans! This is torture... TORTURE I SAY!

Star Trek Online needs space hamsters.

Or do Tribbles count?
