There were conversations to be had with everyone and most led nowhere. Everytime you used an elevator... nuff said. As much as I agree that the variety of missions in ME2 is greatly improved. I really miss the Mako, but I guess we've got the Hammerhead in the DLC but that was probably the sole moment in the game that made me fall in love. Taking my ship to a planet and cruising to the destination in the Mako and hopping out to execute the misson. That and the leveling up screen are the two things that I think ME1 did better than ME2. Hope they bring them back in ME3!original justinnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8652766236149422772.post-50712749167286413742010-06-11T21:48:24.263-05:002010-06-11T21:48:24.263-05:00I did play it on the PC.

It just seems really rough and glitchy this time around. <br />I agree with the part about people falling in love with the world-- it's the reason ME is my favorite.Aldowynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07192864562814985278noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8652766236149422772.post-28683584625659067402010-06-06T23:29:16.322-05:002010-06-06T23:29:16.322-05:00I think one thing we forget is that ME didn't ...I think one thing we forget is that ME didn't come out to universal critical acclaim like ME2 did. It was a moderate success that developed a following the longer it was out. It definitely had it's issues, nobody is arguing that. But more than anything, people fell in love with the world Bioware created. The problem the first ME had was it wasn't quite sure what kind of game it was trying to be. The traditional RPG elements were there more so than ME2 but they weren't refined and just felt like a hassle; while the shooter elements were less pronounced and ultimately just too clunky. It's a problem that ME2 fixed well by emphasizing the shooter aspect with a more intuitive system and streamlined inventory. My experience with the game wasn't as buggy as yours, maybe that has to do with me playing it on the PC, but regardless ME2 was just an all around smoother gaming experience.singininthedarkhttp://twitter.com/singininthedarknoreply@blogger.com
