[*]Could Not Full Explore Citadel Like You could in ME1

True, though they gave you the Zekera wars to explore. It would have bee neat to go back to the CSEC academy again. I do suppose though that because Shep came riding in an a Cerberus logo'd Normandy that his Tower access rights would be temporarily revoked. :p

Clever thinking. Hopefully the third one is more open and more dynamic. It would be nice if you go into a city, starship etc and people would move around and talk like in Assassins Creed instead of just standing there. Be a lot of work I'd imagine. Saying that, I'd still give the game a 10/10 because the storyline is just so damn cool.

Yup, I really wish you could have explored more of the Citadel, you could not fully explore the citadel in either game (the areas you do explore are only a tiny fraction of the citadel in both games), but I wish they would have made it larger than in ME1. Maybe even leave the ME1 area open for you to walk around in (or, whats left of it), while adding a new area like they had done.

^^^^^^ You must be the only person in the world who liked the ME1 vehicle.

I honestly prefer the Mako to the planet scanning and probing. Scanning is freaking boring, at least with the Mako you had stuff to shoot at.

Just finished it for the second time. Soldier alternating hardcore and insane difficulties. Everyone survived. Had to uninstall it because it's addictive.

Try playing it with any class other than the 'easy' soldier to get the full Mass Effect 2 experience.

Hell, using a soldier on Insanity is pretty much like playing on Casual after you've tried to Adept your way through it

He's a Spectre though, he can go where he likes. Even when Saren was accused of the Eden Prime attacks with the Geth, there still had to be a hearing with the Council to eventually get his status revoked :p

My first time was as a vanguard. Also I dont think soldier is "easy". No crowd control biotics, no tech control powers. You need to rely completely on your squad and strategy.

Way ahead of you. My first playthrough was as an Infiltrator on Insanity difficulty.

I'm doing my second playthrough now as a Sentinel to try and get the achievements where you overload 25 shields and warp 25 biotic barriers. Straight away, it's a hell of a lot harder than playing as an Infiltrator. As an Infiltrator, you get the benefits of a sniper rifle, and the Incinerate ability, which was an absolute godsend in my playthrough.

I loved everytime Mordin used incinerate. That "enjoy" sounds just too evilish :p

Finished the game yesterday and now was just messing around in the ship, to my surprise you could have another boomtangle with one of your crew members. The first one was with miranda and then I went to meet tali and she said if you breakup with miranda then....., so I did. :laugh:

Ahh, I only ever used Mordin once or twice, so I never heard that. :p

Haha! I just searched "mordin enjoy" on YouTube to try to find a video of him saying that, but instead, I found this! :rofl:

That is another reason I'm doing a second playthrough, as I didn't realise you couldn't get the Paramour achievement with Kelly, which is who I went with.

BTW, I just found another funny bit I never came across! :rofl:

So I finally put in the time to beat the game yesterday. Very epic, and I can't wait for ME3.

I'm playing through again, now on Veteran. I wish I could import my character and change classes, but oh well. It's still fun to start with the extra money and resources as well as at the higher level.

I have found that if you import your ME1 character to ME2, finish the game and then start a new one again with the ME1 character you get the game-finishing bonuses, including abilities and level with the choice to change class.

I never beat ME1 though :(

You're missing one of the best storylines of all time. In fact the whole series is just breathtaking so far. Both games are among my top 5 favorite games of all time.

I played it, and I got through almost the whole game (I even got that one achievement for beating "most" of the game :rofl:) but it just got boring to me. I think I'll finish it off one day though.

SALE

PC - $30, 360 - $40

AMAZON LINK

When you see a new game go on sale so quick like that it just proves that sales have been great already. There has to be some sorta deal in place that says if you sell X ammount then the price gets lowered. Or maybe it's Amazon just looking to get people to spend and maybe buy a 2nd item to make up for the $10 hit on the game.

    • prices are insane its like 140 dollars more expensive, sigh
    • This seems backwards. You should have to explicitly authorize files for outside use. It shouldn't be the default.
    • Wow you are right, I never even noticed this until you said it! (870E Aorus Master) Before testing this card I had a TP-Link tx401 10GbE PCIe card in that slot (now using XikeStor 310 Thunderbolt to Ethernet adapter).
    • Lack of 5.1 makes this a no sale. What I really wish creative would make would be a USB version that supports 5.1 analog audio for speakers, can switch to headphone mode, and matches the specs of their top tier cards. The current X870E AMD motherboards dont have a great option for adding a PCIE x1 card without cutting down pcie lanes to the graphics card.
    • The Microsoft Office feature that time forgot by Usama Jawad I have been actively using Microsoft Word for the past couple of decades in academic, professional, and personal capacities. Although I used it through the perpetual version of Office apps at the start, I have been an active subscriber of Microsoft 365 Family subscription for over five years now. This means that my Word installation is regularly updated with new features, some of which I don't really like, but that's beside the point. As new features get continuously added, old ones that used to be a staple of Word have started to take a backseat. While I was reminiscing over my Windows experiences from my childhood today, I suddenly remember one such capability that I heavily used in my younger years but have not really touched in over a decade, and haven't seen in documents created by others either. That feature is WordArt. Just to clarify, WordArt is not a Microsoft product specific to Word, and is included in other Office apps like PowerPoint and Excel too. However, Microsoft Word is the app that I used Word Art in heavily, while making assignments or other deliverables for school. If you're unaware, WordArt offers a collection of styling techniques for text, introducing 3D effects like shadows and reflections in the text. It used to be one of the coolest things ever when I was at school and me and my classmates would often compete to ensure that our assignment's title in WordArt was truly the best and stood out above the rest. See some examples of WordArt, still present in the latest versions of Word below: Although WordArt is undeniably cool, it has taken a bit of a backseat, and has been relegated from the Home tab to the Insert toolbar, along with a bunch of other utilities, making it very easy to miss. This isn't exactly surprising because WordArt doesn't really have a place in academic and professional documents anymore, and while I have seen some creatives using it while developing promo material, even that sector has gravitated more towards dedicated graphic designing tools in the past years. For the vast majority of us, WordArt doesn't really exist, and that's alright. At least, it's still an option that can allow us to reminisce our childhood or even make some quick text stylization, if we really need it. Perhaps its usage has waned over time or the novelty has worn off, but I haven't even seen children use it in their academic assignments anymore. In fact, many don't even know that it exists. Maybe that's the fate of every beloved feature. What once felt cutting edge eventually becomes a relic, quietly tucked away as tastes, trends, and technology move on. WordArt may no longer dominate school assignments or decorate the covers of classroom projects, but for those of us who grew up with it, it remains a colorful reminder of a time when making text glow, bend, and cast giant shadows felt like the height of creativity. Hidden behind a few clicks in modern Word, it still survives not as a productivity tool, but as a small piece of computing nostalgia that refuses to disappear.
