The Escapist Presents: Five Things You Shouldn't Do in Mass Effect 2

[Aptspire]

lol Shepard's dancing is worse than mine XD

 

[DND Judgement]

i may have done all but run out of fuel....

 

[black lincon]

I think you should give a special mention to no probing Uranus, in the eternal words of EDI, "Really Shepard?"

 

[ZergInfestedJesus]

The dancing in mass effect one was so much better.

 

[13lackfriday]

I agree with the dancing. Jeez, Shepard... you're a war hero, and yet you couldn't find the time to learn something that doesn't make you look like an uninterested git on the dance floor?

Hey! It's a heavy suit!

It may be great for absorbing incoming enemy fire and the occasional tech/biotic blast, but damned if it doesn't impede on your flexibility when you need it most.

Edit:

For a patch, they should add some penalties to running out of gas and being stuck by the side of the interstellar freeway like a bunch of irresponsible idiot roadtrippers.
Instead of getting a free pass to the nearest fuel depot, you should have to call up some kind of emergency road space-side assistance and get towed there, for a hefty fee of course.
And if you're feeling cheap you could always refuse that service and sit around waiting for your oxygen supply to run out so you can come back the "long way" like in the beginning.

I like to melee Krogans. It's like dealing with a charging bull, only he can shoot you too. I'm also the one that likes to get his kicks in video games any way he can, even if it means multiple deaths.

What can I say? I'm easily amused like that. ^^;

 

[Toar]

I haven't played the game yet, so I want to know if your old crew is dead or Shepard just left them for the new crew of deliquents.

 

[gxs]

Sentinels can melee a krogan if the use their extra shield. I melee them all the time.

Heck I melee everything because my gun isn't so good.

The #1 thin you shouldnt do in Mass Effect 2 is Mornith

Can I get a high five?

Oh go on then. *high five* It made it that much more funny when the words "CRITICAL MISSION FAILURE" came on. I'm inclined to say don't drink the "mystery drink", but its effects are too damn awesome.

Ok everybody! It's time to do THE SHEPARD! Just shuffle from side to side in awkward and embarrassing fashion! It's so cool and everyone in the club will take notice of your sexy dance moves!

Seriously, I know the dancing isn't integral to the game, but they could at least give Shepard some better moves in the sequel.

Or at least change from his combat armor and weapons to his casual clothes. I think 1/2 of what makes it so awkward is the outfit.

In Samara's loyalty mission you get to dance sans armor... it's still really awkward and embarrassing looking, the best part is that one of the dialogue options here is "I'm a good dancer" which Bioware didn't quite have the smarm to label with "(Lie) I'm a good dancer".

That would've been SO AWESOME.

I constantly melee krogan. Let's hear it for soldiers oooh-rah!

Heh, I played a Vanguard, every time a Krogan wound up for a charge I said "I can do that too!" and sent 'em flying with my own charge attack.

I like the Singularity gun from the preorder dlc. Nothing says "I laugh at your attempts to hide" more than a black hole. Just wish it didnt have that orange tint to it.

Dancing, yeah, the girls on the floor know how to mix it up. Shepard's dance skills are like..., well, don't quit your day job there. GTA had a DDR style minigame for dancing, maybe something like that could have helped. Get yo funk on with some glo-sticks.

 

[DustyDrB]

God, I thought I was in a large room when I first used the Cain. Not large enough...

 

[Sanguinius- The Angel]

Situation: Team dead. Medigel depleted. Surrounded by Krogan and Vorcha. Out of thermal clips. One option. Bash party.

I won't lie. This legitimately happened to me. I won.

 

[MantisN1nja]

Crap. I should have watch this video before playing ME2. Because I did all of thoose things Execpt running out of fuel.

 

[Leviathan_]

Couldn't agree more with the not dancing part, the first time I let him dance I facepalm'd... for one hour straight.

 

[whycantibelinus]

I agree with the dancing.

He could dance way better in the first one, now he just looks like an idiot.
