Bioware ditching the awful outdated combat system for the sequel and going for a more modern Mass Effect approach automatically makes it better than the garbage DA:O. Now if they can just making the setting and story less generic.

I blame the average sales on it being a very average game.

PC needs to be excluded from SW so cows can stop hiding behind the PC and acting as if games like ME2 don't exist. :roll:

The combat is outdated garbage, the story is unoriginal and boring, and the game world is uninspiried and bland. So...beats me.

Who cares about the stupid rules of this forum? Step back into the real world, people. Exclusives aren't the only games that matter and 360/PC games like ME2 are a big advantage the 360 has over the PS3.

It seems that Sony has always come out with a second version of their console a few years after the original release in a slimmer version. The slimmer version is usually a little more efficient and may have a small perk or two.

It wasn't in the nature of Microsoft to release a "newer slim version" in their first generation, but did it in their second generation. I wonder why.

Why do you feel Microsoft made a slim version?

I personally believe they did it to "refresh" their image. The old design of the xbox360 was always associated with the RROD. They might have also done it to be an all in one console, similar to sony when it came with wifi and hard drive standard. But what do you think was the reason?

Nothing could match discovering and exploring Rapture for the first time... throw in a vastly inferior and flat out boring story, a bad villian compared to the brilliant Andrew Ryan of the first game, and you've got a very samey sequel that slightly improved in some areas (combat) but got a lot worse in the places that made the first game so great (the story).

It's not an exclusive in the technical sense of the word, but people (PS3 fanboys) here are taking it overboard and acting as though games like Mass Effect 2 are absolutely no advantage to the Xbox 360 over the PS3 and that "true exclusives are the only games that matter", which is absolutely ridiculous. Play by your own stupid rules on this forum, but just realize things are different in the real world.

Shows you just how shallow people here are, throw some pretty graphics on top of a boring generic FPS and people go crazy for it.
