Commander Shepard Raps About Mining for Minerals in Mass Effect 2

[aPod]

Pretty Good song, enjoyable.

 

[TimbukTurnip]

I must have a mental block against rap as i couldnt understand what he was saying half the time.

 

[Digikid]

RAP

Retards
Attempting
Poetry

Other than that.....it was...unique. Not good but unique.

 

[The DSM]

That was... diffrent.

not good or bad just...diffrent.

This is news how?

Is the world that enamored with Mass Effect 2 that this counts as news?

I couldn't listen past 1:20 without getting sick of it and turning it off.

Aww, someone's a little bit of a sour-puss today.

OT: The rap was worthy of some epic lulz.

True dat!

Scanning for minerals is a perfect example of what happens when people ***** about a decent game mechanic.

Seriously the Mako looks so much better after an hour spent scanning for minerals in ME2

 

[Spygon]

Nice song it was rather well done just wish they had put the same effort into the video.As i think if the video was done right it would have been epic

 

[Ex_ery]

Never had this big of an issue with mineral scanning. Changed my receiver from the 360 to the computer input, put on music or played HoN and just scanned while doing other shit. Hell I scanned minerals while calling the 'rents back home and talking. It's not tedious if it's being done in the background.

This just in, the controller vibrates to tell you to look at what slice of the planet you're currently auto scrolling left or right across....

I should be. ME2 took most of the RPG out of ME. And there wasn't too much there to begin with. It's good, but its been dumbed down to a shooter with a few powers and a handful of skill points.

The interactive conversations still make it more of an RPG than most games which claim to be in the same genre. The item/skill customization isn't as deep as say, Bioware's own Dragon Age, but as an avid RPG player/fan, even I can admit that deep doesn't always equal fun. I don't mind constantly looking at the smallest details of armor/weapons to swap for the superior item, but when an RPG comes along that doesn't require me to continue that tedium, I won't complain about that, either.

Bottom line: the things that you suggest are missing from ME2 are some of the same things people were complaining about and wanted gone from ME1. You can't please all the people all the time.

Glad someone came in here to say what I was going to say regarding the all-important "ROLE-PLAYING" part of role-playing games. It's not like they turned Mass Effect into Bioshock, or even Deus Ex (as great as Deus Ex is, don't misunderstand). You don't need a bullshit inventory system to have a good RPG.

It was funny.

Very funny.

In fact I'm going to share this with some people.

*Tips Hat to John funk for the find.*

 

[Pimppeter2]

That was brilliant, by the time he started talking about Miranda I was on the floor laughing.

You got that far? I only got about 10 seconds in...

OT: Although I didn't like the song, The scanning was rubbish. Even with the upgrades it still was slow, tedious and more boring then driving the mako up a cliff...

 

[Amnestic]

Saw this when it was first posted in the Something Awful forums. I thought it was jolly good.

 

[Typhusoid]

Pretty funny, but am I the only one who really doesn't have a problem with the scanning system

 

[Chipperz]

I'm commander Shepard, and this is my favorite rap on the citadel.

Hahahahahahahaha! Win.

And, you know, all those conversations, moral choices, multiple endings and all those bits where you play a role. Or does that just get in the way of your point?

I'm slowly becoming convinced that the people who claim that Fallout 3 and Mass Effect 2 aren't "proper RPGs" are just shit shots.

OT - I laughed a lot, but I still don't have an issue with scanning, and I still DO have an issue with the Mako's drunken mule level handling.

I havent loled that hard in a long itme

Oh, they're still RPGs (Fallout 3 is clearly an RPG in every way, with stats, customization, leveling), but that doesn't mean that to be an RPG you NEED moral choices, conversations, and choice. After all, RPGs have stats and levels...without that, they'd be Adventure games.

 

[lizards]

im not into rpgs or grinding but i didnt mind mineral mineing its not like they forced you to do it

and that is the bottom line you DONT HAVE TO do it

 

[Kenjitsuka]
