        I was until my PC power supply went out. So I don' have a way to play the game. Not sure why they didn't make the game for PS3.

              I have to confess, after playing Mass Effect 1 and i must stress that fact that i am not a RGP fan (i ma a FPS, RTS and TPS person with the occasional milsims) After completing the game out of all the games on my desktop i cannot play any of them seriously i tried playing MW2 online i got out within one session just one round lol. I cant bloody wait and plus in Europe we will get the game on the 29th rather than 26th in the US lol seriously i cant play nothing except for Eastern Front CoH :p

                So far, Mass Effect 2 sucks.

                It's like... Gears of War with moral choices. They removed Inventory, removed a CRAPLOAD of the RPG elements and just seems like the entire thing has been dumbed down to the point I'm willing to say that outside of the visuals, the original is better.

                  Re: Mass Effect 2

                  Ive only played a very small part of the game so far so can only comment on some things

                  combat has improved and is actually fun, much more fluid and far more entertaining to play, the action is finally great

                  Time will tell if I prefer the heatsink change over the cooldown, that did piss me off in ME1 tbh

                  Stat aspects still exist but are reduced, compacted, condensed; whatever, seems to be ok but I would have liked some more choice perhaps

                  haven't seen the equipment/upgrade aspect yet

                        I found that I truly enjoyed only a couple of aspects of the game, those being the final stage, the ship upgrades (which ultimately proved to be useful for the pre-final cinematics only), the puzzles (really well done) and the sidequests, which felt really well thought out this time.

                        It's like... Gears of War with moral choices.
                        Haha, my initial thought was that it was GoW with abilities.

                        removed a CRAPLOAD of the RPG elements
                        Yeah, for a game which got famous because of near-perfect RPG/Action mix, this was a colossal downgrade.

                        and just seems like the entire thing has been dumbed down to the point I'm willing to say that outside of the visuals, the original is better.
                        Having talked about ME1 and ME2 with a number of people, it was primarily done so because most people didnt fully utilize their squadmates and played the first game through as if it was an action title. A couple of ME2 videos show that basically the squadmates are being dragged along as a distraction.

                        And the combat... ahh... the improvement of having a key for cover was underwhelming when I discovered the severe lack of options for squadmate control, no crouch, limited use of the abilities for already too few in the list and no customization of gear. The combat aspect as a whole was a massive downgrade. 99% of the firefights I won was from being in the 3rd person cover mode, with no change in position. I replayed a bit of ME1 after I finished ME2, and cover was just as important as motion in ME1 because of different enemy types (both who rush, flank and turtle). No biotic enemies in ME2, the diversity is nonexistent compared to ME1. There are enough positive aspects to the game to make it a GOTY 2010, and its a really good game as a whole. But ME1 was much, much better, except for Mako, Mako sucked.
