Review: Mass Effect 2

Some of the footage we shot had certain characters in it that could be considered spoilers, but I don't think we actually ended up using any of that. I recorded the warning just in case. But I think it's all good.JaredXE said:
GRR! I'M SOOO MACHOOOOO! I LOVE GRIMDAKRRRR! BLOOD, VIOLENCE, AND TITS, RAAAAGH!
If that's the additude this game contains, i may just reconsider my descision to acquire it in any way whatsoever. If shooting innocent people in the face is a Paragon way now (as opposed to being Renegade and torturing them to death) - and i get the feeling it's precisely like that - then no. Thank you very much. If that is really the case, then even improved combat, pitch-perfect writing, brilliant characterization, and space hamster will not redeem Mass Effect 2 in my eyes.
"Empire Strikes Back" my ass. [footnote]Useful note: it's a figure of speech. Be merciful, don't actually "Empire Strikes Back" my ass - please.[/footnote]

Very much not like that, actually. Yes, you're going to have to shed a lot of blood, but that doesn't mean you're just spewing hate all over the place. Trust me, my Paragon Shepard is still a beacon of hope and positivity. You're not "shooting innocent people in the face," but you are going to have to make some hard choices.Kollega said:
I was going to say, a space hamster in a Bioware game, two things are then true:loremazd said:
1) He must be named Boo
2) He will be trained to GO FOR THE EYES!
All kidding aside though, knowing this I will do everything I can to make my Shepard look like Minsc. I miss the oaf.
It's okay then, i guess. I don't have qualms againt mass-murder and wanton destruction... as long as my character does not act as a total douchebag at every opportunity, and actually shows some hesitation when it comes to letting innocent people die.Susan Arendt said:
Not having Mako still sucks big fat torpedo, though. Why do you look at me like that, it handled perfectly well in PC version!
Why would they add melee weapons? The game's happening in the freaking future, melee weapons would make no sense. Huge robots manned by humans however...Souplex said:
OT: I LOVED this game. Can't wait for the sequel. Must...see...conclusion to romance with Tali.
She's a time-traveler. That, or PR reps from EA sent us (and every other videogaming-related publication) a review copy of the game so that we could publish in time for release. Pick whichever explanation makes you happiest.HT_Black said:
