it was a sold 8.5 game. I vastly preferred both dragon ages to it.
Deus Ex: Human Revolution and Fallout New Vegas take a narrow edge, as far as RPGs go. Might put another game or two above it, too, but I haven't really sat down and thought about GOTG too much yet.
ME2 has a better setting, presentation, and location atmosphere than any other game this generation.
As a through and through RPG, yeah it's not the best in that genre.
As a total video game product, it's nearly at the top.
HL2: Episode 2 is head and shoulders the best game in this generation. There's no dispute to that.
I say The Witcher 2 and ME2 are neck and neck for second, and third.

I'd play it if I had a capable PC. I assume its for 360 as well?
I can see where they're coming from actually. I just don't agree with it.
I was indifferent to the mako and all the shit they cried foul about, they literally got pissed over taking out boring roam around planet missions cause of "teh scope is lozt nooooooooez". Or "I wantz ze care du 2 difarent menz of traverzel!11!" and shit like that.
Better characters, better gameplay, better graphics, better story(yeah I said it), better art design, better sidequests, better boss fights,...... It was the better game bar none! The only thing ME1 has over 2 is the soundtrack.
The story is not nearly as grandiose, sorry Wrath. It actually feels a bit weak, to be honest, with regards to the overall scheme of things. The fact that you had next to no contact at all with the Citadel Council officials (if you saved them in the first game) just seemed...odd. You would think there would be more of a shock for them that Shepard was alive and you would also think they'd want him to go back to doing their will.
Other than that though, yeah, its better in every single way.
If I had to sit down and think of my favorite games this generation, I'd say at this point:
1) Mario Galaxy 1 and 2
2) Mass Effect 2
3) Batman Arkham Asylum
4) Fallout 3
5) Bioshock
Mass Effect 2 was good until the end. Ya'll know what I'm talking about. :-\
Well I really like Ashley. I liked Liara's characterization a lot in ME2. Still haven't gone through the dlc.
I really wanted to like Miranda, but I can't remember a thing about her except her daddy issues. ME could actually be renamed Daddy Issues: The Series. :lol

Has Bioware confirmed any returning characters for ME3? I want Miranda in my party again. I always brought her along in my party.
Characters
Confirmed squadmates:
There won't be 12 squadmates this time (they're "focused on a smaller squad with deeper relationships and more interesting interplay"), but every squad member (including Zaeed and Thane) will be back in some capacity. Squadmates from ME2 will not be in your game if you let them die in the suicide mission; same with Wrex and Virmire.
Liara
Ashley/Kaidan, who became Spectres!
Garrus (who has finished his calibrations) and Tali (who may be getting some kind of radical redesign, according to Hudson. They also haven't decided about showing her face). And Garrus has finally fixed his armor!
James Sanders Vega (who is not the sniper in the trailer, but joins the party very early on, before the trial even begins). Aka Beefy McLargeHuge. This might be a picture of him.
Apparently both Garrus and James Vega can use the Revenant machine gun.
According to a dev, "James = Survivability and Ashley = Lethality. Both are Soldier types but play very different."
Appearing, not necessarily party members, or not confirmed as being party members yet:
Every character who survived the suicide mission will be back, but we don't know exactly how or how big their roles will be.
Wrex is pretty much confirmed as not being a party member. He'll fight along with you at times, just won't be a full squadmate.
Jack, who has "matured" and isn't quite so naked anymore.
Mordin, Legion, and Anderson, as long as they survived the first two games.
Some characters may be a party member just for a mission or two before returning to wherever they were before.
The Illusive Man and Udina also play prominent roles.
Characters who survived the suicide mission who join your party might have personal quests for you to complete. If they died during the suicide mission, they're gone and aren't magically coming back. However, there's a focus on rewarding us for the choices we made and how we played, not punishing us if we let some party members die, so there will be different options (instead of either getting a bonus quest or not getting it).
Conrad Verner will also be back.

That list is missing Tactics Ogre. I can't even look at you right now.
(dun care if it's a port/remake. Gud game is gud)
Borrow a wii, buy mario galaxy for like 20 bucks, bask in all its glory, give wii back.
i own a wii and mario galaxy. never finished it.
I will say that the load times in ME2 were unbearable. I would've rather had the elevator hidden loads.Installed it wasn't that bad...
you have a good choice of friends
but surely some granny or something you know has a wii
Bioshock feels like so long ago.
The worst thing about ME2 is that it's basically missing the entire middle section of the game.spoiler (click to show/hide)You assemble your team and then you're basically ready to go on the final mission. Where's everything in between? There are loyalty missions, but those are more like forced sidequests rather than part of the main plot.[close]
ME1 had a much better story, better pacing, and it was actually an RPG/TPS hybrid. So ME1 was better.
Hey, for all of you saying Deus Ex 3 is so dope: can I explore the world of that game? Are there janitor closets with nothing game-relative in them? Can I just sink into the retro-future and get lost in myriad yellow-tinted alleyways or is it more focused than that?

ME3 is actually about winning loyalty again. But loyalty over species instead of people. And they haven't said what that means exactly.
One thing ME1 did better was the soundtrack. SO GOOD.
I like Clint Mansell, I just don't like changing you're already pretty great music staff for the sake of making it more hollywood.

My main problem with ME3 is giving it to Clint Mansell. They should have stayed with John Wall and Sam Hulick.
I probably ask this shit once a year, but is ME PC any good? Guess I'll get it
