I played ME2 8 times and i kinda enjoy it still.

[racofer]

Akin to Mangoose's thread I'm making this one for we ME2 lovers on the Codex.

To avoid the usual butthurt from faggots that complain ME2 is no RPG (which I agree) I will make this thread at General Gaming instead of the usual place so perhaps this will avoid unnecessary complaints, although this being the Codex and all I have the firm belief a lot of people will complain this thread should be at GRPGD.

So yes, I've played ME2 8 times already and I've enjoyed it every time. It's a fun third person shooter with RPG elements thrown into it Action RPG (

) and I find the gameplay quite satisfactory. I know of only one other Codexer that has played ME2 this many times besides myself so I'm curious to see WHO ELSE LOVES ME2 THIS MUCH.

Discuss!!

 

[Trash]

Do you like it so much that you bought it? :finaltest:

 

[racofer]

Because I like something that doesn't mean I'm ok with being anally penetrated by it, Trash.

 

[anus_pounder]

I finished it once, release edition. Then I installed all the DLC and stuffles and tried to finish it. I got about halfway through three times and almost finished it twice.

 

[J_C]

I finished it once but that was enough. I enjoyed it, but I'm not gonna replay it.

 

[pipka]

Never played and never will. Probably.

 

[Serious_Business]

Finished it only once, but I toyed around with all classes. Vanguard is best, not much point playing the rest, and not much point not being Renegade either. I'll probably replay it when ME3 is coming out just to get me pumped for this puppy herp derp

 

[Rogue]

bollocks

 

[Crooked Bee]

Finished it once, played Vanguard, had good fun.

I played ME1 until Ive met one of those rapists or whatever. The action parts were absolutely retarded and boring as fuck. I still havn't played ME2. Shall I play it? I don't feel like ever playing ME1 again. It was mediocre in all aspects with the combat being especially lame. What parts ME2 improves uppon?

 

[Jaesun]

Played it 2 1/2 times. Still haven't fully romanced Jabob yet. Had computer problems. Now all is working fine again.

mmm Jacob.

That's something these Dutch will never understand.

Fair enough. The combat could be boring depending on how you play it, I give you that. I myself enjoyed playing as an infiltrator sniping everything in my path and found it to improve gameplay tremendously instead of simply holding down mouse1 and waiting for my assault rifle to mow down the enemies.

I still havn't played ME2. Shall I play it? I don't feel like ever playing ME1 again. It was mediocre in all aspects with the combat being especially lame. What parts ME2 improves uppon?

Exactly the combat is what it has improved the most. It's much more fluid now and all weapons are good to use. You even have to switch your weapons depending on the situation, which is something ME1 simply didn't require, plus you can easily map your squadmates abilities to your hotkeys and quickly use them. It's a much more fun shooter than its predecessor there's no doubt about that.

Also, I didn't count but I'm pretty sure I also played ME2 8 times or more. :queenofbiowhores:

In that time you could have played 8 good games from the past(ME2 was ok, but 8 times??? There's nothing that compelling about the story or combat to go through it so many times in just a year since it's release).....Why do you waste the hours of your life so?

 

[Jaesun]

Don't you be dissin' my bro Freelance Henchman commie.

 

[Excommunicator]

What do you get out of playing it so many times?

Wouldn't you be reciting the lines of every character after that many replays, even before they start to talk?

I'm kinda weird with games. :D I guess the game was "compelling enough" in story and gameplay that I could stomach it that often. I just find it relaxing to play (in the literal "turn your brain off" way) even though or perhaps because I know the areas by heart now. I just cheat myself unlimited money and resources though so I can completely ignore the minigames unless they give an upgrade or something.

Also, how canst thou waste that which thou dost not possess?

 

[Exmit]

Yes Racofer , I'm launching KOTOR for 9th time right now.

If you'd like even more retarded action parts, by all means.

The only way ME2 combat improves on ME1's is by being more cover-based, slower and more repetitive.

I'm also surprised FH can stomach it 8 times. Once was enough for me.

 

[torpid]

Yeah, I don't get the argument that ME2 is good as a shooter -- it's consolized popamole: sluggish, repetitive and easy. It's also designed around cover, so any respite from the popamole only makes it worse. The best example of that is the level in the Dead Reaper -- one of the worst levels of any game I've played -- where you can't really use cover because you're attacked by streams of melee enemies: the sluggish controls make the zombies terribly annoying to deal with.

And the end boss was just lollerskates.

 

[Jim Cojones]

Never played it and never will.

Played ME1 and found it a rather mediocre game similar to many Diablo clones, games that have nothing good to offer gameplay- or storywise so their only appeal is levelling up and looting. ME2 is supposed to take away or simplify the only elements that made the original playable and instead concentrate on improving gameplay. Since said improving doesn't include making it something different than linnear shooter with cover system, why bother?

That person just spams the same ability over and over again. That's supposed to be fun?
