Perhaps you should just go watch a sci-fi movie and cut out the middle man.

'ME1 was a great sci-fi pick-your-own-adventure movie but I wish there were less of that "here's some bad guys, shoot them" filler getting in the way of the story.'
So.... you want to remove the shooting from a shooter/RPG? Whats left over? Flying around mooching off shops?

Hmm, interesting... Always played a male shep and never thought about the results for a femshep... I liked the options you had as the male character for the "last moments together" cinematic. Though I was disappointed that you didn't get to see Tali's face during the cine.

I've played ME2 from beginning to end as a male character. Does playing as a female character open up some innuendo that makes this obvious?

You really do have to play ME2 to get why people are guessing such things. Although I think I need to start a male Shepherd to see the other woman's level of 'interest' in him.

I agree with Papapop on this one. But I particularly don't like what is video games are also turning into movies. They shouldn't. At all. The only exception to this is Ace Attorney, which is a book, but has enough gameplay to be an actual game.

ok, so every one who thinks they understand this comic says femshep has a penis and is angry about it. What I don't understand is what caused you to deduce that that was what's going on here? Cuz I'm just sitting here thinking "Well if you say so."

We shouldn't be bringing gaming down to grandma, the youth are the future, we need to get people to rise up and challenge themselves and really think about the world they're in as well as the story and their character and when we finally do that, that's when games will finally be considered a real

"Quote paragraph 3" This is exactly the mentality that gaming has taken today, yes it's good when you can just pick up and play games on the fly without much thought, but when you purposefully dumb down games just to make a profit you risk losing the game you were making in the first place.

Whoring XP/Equipment and then kill mobs in one single hit or 'skills' involve abusing glitch. Which is the my complain in ME1. ME2 get things right.

Honestly I like the way they change in mass effect 2.
The inventory system, The leveling/Skill development. More focus on fighting(YAY NO MORE FREAKING MAKO!). No more time waiting in elevator and stand still.
Most of games with RPG element blended is horrible IMO. Almost all of them is about

But Deus Ex 2 was terrible compared to the first and is regarded as such by virtually every Deus Ex fan; ME2(from what little I've seen/heard) looks like a resounding success alongside the first game. Sometimes change IS good.

I find it strangely awesome that the Shepard with red hair, because that is also my Shepard. I finished ME1 just before I started ME2 (like minutes before) and the contrast is stark. I felt ME1 really started to catch it's stride in the last hour and the ending blew me away (-ign.com). We'll see.

They need more complex and challenging games. The market is too saturated with games for people that just recently got opposable thumbs.

I can't find any justification to replay the game again. It's too BORING. It's too SIMPLE. I don't like simple things. Now for loot, too simple, boring. Could use more variety in weapons and biotic powers. Comes down to between Single or AOE powers.

Yeah, right. Let's "streamline" stats, inventory, story, and gameplay progression. Let the game play itself - what can be more streamlined?
