Love it. Action is so much better than in the first part.

I was referring to the redesigned points system,that RPG system.It basically removes all the epicness of ME1's leveling points.I mean,when I first saw all those powers and didn't know where to put my first points...

Dang that sucks. I assumed I would aquire new abilities or something as I went through the game, but it sounds like I will only have this tiny skill list though it all. Definitely liked the ME1 system better if that is the case.

wait.. what? you dont get skill point to distribute at lvl up? that would be really dumb if thats the case.
About the DLC crap... well im just glad it was free for me. I REALLY hate EA. Theyre horible for the game industry. "Oh gee, other companies are making better football games than us. Should we make maden better? Nah, f it. Just buy the NFL licence." They also rape you horribly for DLC as you see here. I was unbelivably saddened to hear they got Bioware, and actually didn't plan on buying ME2 at all. Theyve improved themselves slightly though so i will probably snag it, but i still cant stand them
to those who have played, is there a checklist of what the key points from teh ME1 save are? Penny-arcade made me think there was but then the dev posted that it was a test kit he was playing on, and the final version probably wont have such a list.
Barring that, anyone aware of a guide out there that lists what they are so when i replay 1 i can make sure i do what i want to carry over? (been too long since i played i gotta replay with most of the chars i want to transfer over, i have like 5 or 6 of them)
All in all the stuff ive been hearing is not so good. I hear theres almost no gear upgrades and this thing you guys are talking about the skill upgrade system has me worried

At the start you get 2 points per level, near the level cap (30) you get 1. You can also respec those in the game using the research feature. You get ~6-8 skills per character if you add in the extra skill you can get from your companions.
Just when you start me 2 there is a list of the major things that carry over, there are lots of minor things that are mentioned as the game progresses but that are mostly there just to make you feel like the world has progressed. I'll edit in a screenshot of the major things in a second.
(click to show/hide)Rank = level, Military Spec = class, Pschological Profile = Paragon/Renegade scale, Status of wrex = self explained, MIA = who is missing, Council history = what happened to council at end,
There are gear upgrades, 7 per weapon type and different weapons in each type. The upgrades are mostly things like +10% damage and larger ammo clips. They carry over to all weapons of that type. The only place you really feel that using the latest weapon isn't the best choice is in the sniper rifle and heavy weapons where things like amount of shots vs dmg start making a difference.
The game is good, take it for a story heavy shooter with some rpg elements.
MAJOR ANNOYANCE, you can't skip the pre rendered movies. I resorted to replacing them with a 0 sec long black movie that somebody made for that purpose. Just removing the movies crashes the game, have to replace them. (Not fun watching those movies over and over again when starting up new games to try things out...)

Just beat it, Man that was an awesome game. ;D
I just hate what they did with the exploration,skills, and inventory. Besides that its great though.
(click to show/hide)Its great that they added tali as a romance

Things I like better in ME2 vice ME1:[*]Invisibility for Infiltrators[*]Weapon enchants (such as Disrupting Ammo)[*]Sniper Rifles better[*]Headshots do more damage.[*]You only carry weapons you're proficient with, I hated having the extra weapons that I couldn't use. It just irritated me.[*]The graphics. They are beautiful. The way the smoke curls up from the Illusive Man's cigarette is just icing on the fucking cake.[/list]
Things I like less:[*]Shrunken skill list. Fine for Infiltrator, but terrible for Sentinel. I changed my class when I imported my character 'cause Sentinel was so garbage in this one.[*]Limited upgrade and weapons system. I enjoyed scouring the universe for that Frictionless Materials IX and what not and being able to upgrade different weapons differently or change specs on the fly. Ammo enchants somewhat make up for it.[*]"Heat Sinks," essentially ammo clips. One of the things that made playing a Sentinel in ME1 tolerable from a weapon proficiencies standpoint was that you could keep plugging away forever with your pistol. Neither the Heavy Pistol or the SMG are particularly strong, and limited ammo hurts even more.[/list]
Overall I really enjoy ME2. Won't be able to play it for another 2 weeks, though since we're going underway ;_;
