I enjoyed the first part a lot, not because of it's deep role playing (lawl) but just because it was such a cinematic experience and the general atmosphere.
So what we're going to see next will probably be an attack on the heart of the cyl.. err Geth territory, I can live with that.

Mass Effect had no cinematic experience (omg there are cutscenes with the retarded shoulder blocking half of the screen and then there is boring repetitive tps - cinematik) and no atmosphere. Or you just have a shit taste in movies obviously.

What a farce. Next thing you know, they'll list adding 3 more x's to eXXXXXtreme as one of the improvements for part 2.

Huh, well there you go. I guess it makes sense on two accounts.

1) There are no RPGs to compete with, and about 20 FPSs released a day. Business 101: Only compete where you need to.

2) The feedback from Mass Effect 1 broke down as:

5000 people : "This was a dumbed down RPG. Bring back the glory days."

1,500,000 people : "This game had terrible control and response. And the bullets are bugged, because I know I aimed. Also WTF with the numbers?"

Business 102: Don't make an RPG.
