Seems like Sheppard's new team is much rougher around the edges. Samara is a direct contrast of Liana, the companion Asari in the first game. I love it.
" I thought the "reload" -was- an instant cooldown mechanic and not genuine reloading. Wasn't that mentioned in a Bombcast by Brad? "
Yes. What looks like a reload is actually a functionality of the gun that you can instantly cool it back down to its normal stasis quickly so that it doesn't overheat. Your ammunition is still unlimited (outside explosive, of course,) you just now don't necessarily have to wait ten seconds for your gun to cool down every time you have an extended blast of power. Granted, that makes abilities like Overkill more or less pointless now outside of shooting accuracy, but hey, yay for weapon innovation.
This has to be my most wanted game of all time. It looks so good even though I'm trying not to read so much about it , I want everything to be a surprise. Oh and uh does anyone know the official North American cover art for the $59.99 version?
From my bystander perspective, all the changes are uniformly good, especially if the world exploration is more detailed and interesting. My gripe has to do with the fundamental way dialog works, that you can just force your intimidation or charm through like a weapon, knocking everything down. Hope that there will be cases when those are actually bad choices.
