Yep, it’s as Kinky as it sounds: I’ve had my hands all over my Mass Effect 2 Collector’s Edition for the past few days. And during what would otherwise be referred to as my “free time”, I have been held captive by the wonderful butterfly effect caused by all the little choices I made in the first game. Unfortunately, while I will not stop playing the game anytime soon, I do have some issues with it.
Since this is still a place for my comic, I’ll keep this short. All of the issues I have with the game all pertain to the same thing: Making the player base happy. This is of course perfectly fine and much appreciated by all, until the game itself actually suffers for it. Veteran players of Mass Effect 1 will find that a few of their difficult choices, especially the relationship ones, have actually been made weightless in attempt to make Mass Effect 2 it’s own experience.
This would be perfectly fine, had we not LIKED making those choices to begin with. It would also be easier to take ME2 as it’s own game, if the main story wasn’t just one gigantic pile of side-trips. Regardless, I still think it’s totally badass… and won’t stop playing, as stated before, anytime soon. xD
Already looking forward to my second playthrough. ;D
