You need to mineral scan in order to afford the upgrades you need to survive. If you want everybody to live you need to get basically EVERY ship upgrade.
ALSO: I'm playing it on 360 because ME1 was 360-only when I bought it, and I was NOT about to rebuy the game and redo everything to play ME2.

Now Hold on there! Sure Mineral Scanning can be very boring, but dose pay off in the end! Also, Mineral scanning can be much faster on the PC version of the game.. It's only slower on the 360 / PS 3 because of your joystick speed.

Mineral Scanning is so much slower on the 360 version. I was watching my friend play, and I kept asking him if he had the Mineral Scanning upgrade. My scanning moved about three times as fast on the PC.

I didn't find mineral scanning boring, I only found it to be a little slower paced, but I still did way more of it then I needed to in order to get every possible upgrade

I kinda wish they did the mineral collecting like in Star Control 2/Ur-Quan Masters. That would have been cool. I mean, the whole game already reminds me of SC2.

As a result of this comic, I looked this up on youtube. Are you shitting me? What were these people thinking? If there were only 2, maybe 5 planets to scan, it wouldn't matter... but I have a suspicion there's a lot of grinding to do. Minesweeper... without the logic and reason.

Then again, I found it rather fun to strip mine entire star systems, I figured I was cutting the pirates out of business money for their gear. All the weapon upgrades greatly helped to.

Well, I did not mind the Mineral scanning, though I had imported a decent level ME1 character and had some decent bonuses, after I beat the game on Casual for the story whenever I make a new character off my import I get 50k of all resources, very good for cutting down on mining.

Heh, I almost fell asleep doing mineral scans, but they yeiled me lots of research. :D Gotta say I like the SMG's better than the rifles for some reason. And I still stand with the Quarian for the big choice.

Mineral search, AFAIK, was entirely optional and didn't really give you anything.
As a side note: I LIKED driving Mako around and did ALL of these collection quests. For fun.
So ME2 has a big minus for me for replacing a fun minigame with a complete time - waster.
schpeelah
about 15 years ago
Guys, WTF? Why are we even comparing these two? First off I havent played ME2, but I hear you get upgrades for it. Last time I checked, you didn't get anything for minerals in ME1 (except maybe for money. I don't know, I never bought anything save for maybe that special unlockable gear at the end.)
Laken
about 15 years ago
I liked the mineral scan at first, I scanned everything I could and wanted to scan more.
And then I had to get Element Zero.
That's when all the fun went away.

Mineral Scan>Mako
I wish they had you searching for deposits, and then having those deposits give you a resource INCOME. The more and better ones you find the more INCOME you get, but you'll EVENTUALLY get the resources you need from just a few of 'em.
Altherix
about 15 years ago
Somebody didn't play ME1 or didn't do a refresh course of ME1 before ME2 came out.
No matter how boring, forced mini game mineral scan is. It pales in comparison to how idiotic and stupid the MAKO was in ME1.
I'll take mineral scan over the MAKO any day of the week.

I haven't had the chance to play it yet, but for some reason I feel like I'd rather be doing a mineral scan mini-game than just clicking planet after planet to see if there's a "Scan" or "Land" option, clicking a button, reading the top line of text, and then backing up to repeat.

I am yet to play Mass Effect 2, but... but from the way you talk about mineral scanning, I get the feeling that it's worse than looking for minerals in previous game... and I hated that with all my heart, but I needed cash and wanted to complete collection quests.

You know, as dull as the mineral scan can get, compared to the mind-numbing "trawl around random planets that are all mapped the same with numerous cliff climbs in a slow-moving tank" of the first game, it's actually a vast improvement.
