    Of all of the iterations a helmets, they picked the silliest one for the DeathMask helmet. I wished they had put more of those concept helmets into the game to have more variation other than the N7 open and re-breather variant plus the dumb visor which I could have designed better.

    I like to feel like I’m pulling the trigger too. You’d think bioware would think to allow an xbox 360 controller for the pc version. Maybe they will for ME3?

    @Joeybsmooth Yah same here. I can’t play with a mouse and keyboard; it just doesn’t feel right. I like to feel like I’m actually pulling the trigger lol.

    I finished Mass Effect 2 on PC (playing on Veteran difficulty, with female shepard, Infiltrator class), and it was AMAZING. Even better than Mass Effect 1. This game is in my top 4 or 5 games ever. It’s so good I actually felt emotion while playing it, and that’s rare. I’ve been playing FPS games for 14-15 years, so I’m already desensitized to it.

    Thanks , for the heads up . I am just not a keyboard guy . Heck I even play fallout 3 with a controller .

    I did it the other way around , I just can not get behind the mouse and keyboard . Can you use the control with ME 2 on the PC.

    so much artwork in a game and still nobody looks at videogames as an art form!

  17. mostliberal Says:

    I just finished playing the 360 version of Mass Effect 1 (played as female shepard, soldier class), and it was AMAZING! I was really impressed. This game is definitely in my top 20 ever. Also, I just bought Mass Effect 2 for the PC (because its cheaper, better graphics than 360, and the Mouse and Keyboard). I’ll get back to you after a while.

    Just look at the first one, bro.
    20 different variations of one weapon, just with different colors.

    But the side missions were all to simple.

    @DannySullivanRogers

    the subtractions from the game were the bad shooting mechanics of the 1st and cluttered inventory system, things i’m glad were thrown out the window. The new missions both primary and secondary were a vast improvement over the first, I hated how all the old side mission had you crawling through identical buildings with randomly placed boxes. The new side missions all differ greatly you never feel like you did the same job twice. Graphics, story, and combat all better too

  21. Scribby87 Says:

    wow all those …
    wow all those helmets and only 2 made in the game, plus one visor, the 3 other headgear pieces are Dr. Pepper promos, ya you can get em for free now but still, I would have loved to see more options for armor customization

  23. DannySullivanRogers Says:

    Wow great point. …
    Wow great point. How could I argue with that? I’m sick of the simple gamers out there that have no mind of their own. Sure its a decent time passer but is it worth the 10/10 rating? Will it ever be nominated for Game of the Year? I can’t think of one revolutionary thing about it. Not hating on it, just critiquing it. I play it frequently for the record.

  24. JMKBEAST20 Says:

    the only thing i …
    the only thing i absolutely HATE in this game is how the weapon range is sooo limited…you can find like 3? new assualt rifles and ect….liiike ok? same assault rifle gets boring…the upgrades are a great idea i love that part but the fact that you cant buy / find new weapons bugs me a bit..

  25. jmood88 Says:

    lmao I don’t know …
    lmao I don’t know what game you’ve been playing, especially since you call the second’s combat “clunky”. It surpasses the original in every way.
