Poll: Mass effect 2 Hype

[Nevyrmoore]

I was very excited for it. But then I read on Game Informer they're adding a reload system. A small gripe? Maybe. However I don't know whether that will fit with established canon regarding the information on how the guns in Mass Effect work. Also, recently heard in a trialer that there is a fuel system for space exploration. That is a major "boo" in my book...

Small gripes but gripes none the less. I'm not super excited for it.

The reload system sounds awkward... Like you said, the guns have a system which would allow thousands of rounds to be fired before reload... Unless this only applies to the new heavy weapons.

Fuel for travel might be okay, since I'm assuming to refuel it will be landing at a planet, and they mentioned a while back they wanted to fix how barren a lot of the planets were. I'd love to visit an actually populated planet, like one of the alien's home worlds. Would be GREAT fun visiting Wrex's.

From what little gameplay we've seen, it looks to me that the reload system is simply something the corporations have come up with to quickly reduce heat build-up. Instead of waiting for your weapon to cool down before you can start firing again, just pop out the whatever-it-is that collects the heat and replace it with a new one.

As for the fuel system, I don't see the problem. But, then again, I used to play Frontier: Elite 2, which requires you to buy fuel for both hyperdrive and regular flight.

I think between Mass Effect 2, Alpha Protocol and Dragon age: Origins, I'm going to have my fill of roleplaying games for a very long time. I enjoyed the first game quiet a lot and it had nice replay value. The second one seems to be more fun anyway, and it gives me nice ways to be a badass, such as throwing some dick out of a window. The guns have been improved and their are MORE guns anyway, which is a very big plus. All in all im looking forward to it, and since im not getting paid to be in college I can definitely start affording more games.

I never played the first one, so I can't really be excited for number 2. Yet.
