After playing a lot longer, I think I'm going to have to stick with my original score of a B. The combat is too bad to give it anything more. Teammate AI is God awful, they cut a whole bunch of corners, and the whole thing turned out to be a poor attempt to be Gears of War. Everything else is good though.
Eh... So far team combat is saving my ass. I also have it on the veteran difficulty...so that means a shit ton of mechs in my face.
Gonna be writing my two cents in a review soon, just need some more good hours in before I can determine my final score.
Also, can someone explain why your shields are so damn useless in this? Back in ME1, i used to be able to take a shitload of punishment before my shields went down. Now, suddenly, after 2 years, something happened and now shields only protect you from 6 bullets?
i've kept quiet about this game cause i'm not going to get it nor am i going to play it, but after reading this thread, seems like to me that bioware dropped the ball on this game.
You guys are whiners and nit pickers> If anyone reading this is wondering if they should buy this game, i can clearly say it is a great game. Don't listen to the jobbers on this forum, they except way too much to be even possible to make be a human brain. In summary, quit being whiny bitches. Have a nice day. Try Mass Effect 2 if you liked the first. ..Snap...
Yeah, in the last 6 months we've gotten Uncharted 2, Assassin's Creed 2, Demon's Souls, and a few other good ones that are better than Mass Effect 2. It's good, but not that good. Maybe it's the best thing to come out in Australia in the last 6 months, but it's also the ONLY thing to come out in Australia in the last 6 months.
Koala, again I say you are an idiot . You're saying this is better than anything to come out within the last six days without even playing it. Good job.
