Majek Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 I quite liked the story-related mako missions (and Bring Down the Sky). It was certainly better than that abortion, Hammerhead. In fact, just writing "hammerhead" makes me wince. Again. Those were done well enough, i agree. 1.13 killed off Ja2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BobSmith101 Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 (edited) What's Hammerhead? The thing you get in the DLC, I think Overlord. They came free with the PS3 version, only reason I know. Edited February 20, 2012 by BobSmith101 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tale Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 The Hammerhead was a free DLC for everyone. But it was also included as part of Overlord, with Overlord having a new Hammerhead hub area.

Lexx Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 I liked the Hammerhead more than the Mako... except for the missions. The Hammerhead stuff was so much always the same... kind of like the Mako missions. Man, Bioware for sure sucks at repeatable quest stuff.

Gorth Posted February 21, 2012 Author Share Posted February 21, 2012 I didn't mind mako, the problem where the environments where you drove it. That was a crappy paste job. If they had made something with more believable physics (no rubberband gravity) and genuine variety, it could have been a valuable contribution to the game rather than feeling like "filler". Not that I think they did it because they hate people, but because it was what was possible within time and budget scope. “He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt.

Tale Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 I've been hearing some rather interesting things involving earlier plans for ME2. So much missed potential.

Ice9 Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 I'm with Nep on the subject of the Mako. Just driving around on a planet's surface looking for your mission access point and whatever pieces of old technology lying around to salvage by playing Frogger was pretty monotonous. I didn't mind the segments like the one on Virmire, for instance. It wasn't as polished as the rest of the game but it was a nice change of pace. Sometimes you just need a few minutes of something different to get back into the grind. Everything was beautiful. Nothing hurt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BobSmith101 Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 (edited) Overall I like it but just like in the game the kid somehow cheapens it. Cheers for the link. Edited February 21, 2012 by BobSmith101 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morgoth Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 The bit with the kid was kinda cute, but... Shepard getting real mad and personal with a bunch of soulless hulks is just silly. Reminds me of Starship Troopers, with all the soldiers getting worked up about silly bugs, except, there it was at least ironic. Rain makes everything better.

Janmanden Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 It seems to be out-of-character with the Reapers.. I don't think they'll bother about rounding up little girls, because they are more into massive crowd control and they make servants to herd them together.

Giantevilhead Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 I hope they give a good reason for why the Reapers don't just drop a nuke on Shepard. Heck, why not nuke earth? At least nuke earth's military installations so its cities will be virtually defenseless against abduction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, but telling gamers she wants an "I win" button so she can skip the game. That's probably something she would have been better keeping to herself.
