Mass Effect 2
Toxic-Seahorse
Nice shots. Assuming you played the first Mass Effect, what's ME2 like in comparison? I'm loving Mass Effect right now but I hear they really dumbed down things for ME2. Is it just as enjoyable or what? I'm kinda scared I will playthrough it wishing it was the first.
Mass Effect 2 and 3 both have demos. The combat changes are pretty clear from the demo I think.Hmm...let's see..here's what I like/prefer
Mass Effect 1
The ability to crouch (avoid fire, and increased accuracy)
Equipment buying and upgrades (in me 2, you can only buy some performance upgrades, plus a few armor component variants)
Better biotics (they have independent cooldowns, like most RPGs. In ME2, they have a shared cooldown, which is stupid)
Better levelling (high cap, more abilities, can use all level points always. In ME2, higher levels cost more points, so you can have some left over with nothing to use them with)
Citadel Presidium (the wards area of the citadel is better though)
Mako side missions on inhospitable planets (like the rachni side missions)
Crew all looks equiped for inhospitable planets (armor with optional full helmets)
Weapons can overheat, but never become unusable (out of ammo)
Mass Effect 2
More storyline-centered missions and side missions (7 recruitment missions, 9 loyalty missions, 3 or so crew missions like buying provisions for the ship's cook or upgrading some items for engineers)
More control over the outcome (shepard can die, any number of teammates can die)
More interesting locations (Omega, Krogan Homeworld, Illium, Dead Reaper, Collector bases and ships)
More interesting and varied enemies (geth, collectors, various named mercanary groups, mechs, various krogan groups) as well as variants within each group
Reloading weapons.
Miranda's ass.
Better graphics
That's all I can think of right now
