ME2 is honestly one of the worst games I've ever played. ME1, potential wise, was Star Trek: The Game. It wasn't perfect, but I was excited to see where they went with it.
Instead, I got a 'Mission Complete' screen, every character got their own unnecessary gritty reintroduction, I got a few token emails from entire species I had saved in the first game, and characters with which I had spent the entire game got no more than a nod when they died in the final battle. Not to mention, the last boss was a slow-moving, floating-platform affair. For some reason, ammo-collection, which is always a fun mechanic, was also introduced.
The characters were by far the worst part though:
- Jack is criminally psychotic. But it's okay: she has a past. It's totally justified.
- Then you have the doctor, who puts no inherent value on sentient life. What a twist!
- And the assassin, who seeks forgiveness after each kill. I didn't expect that!
At every turn, I could just hear the director whispering into my ear: 'I bet you didn't expect this!'
To be fair to it, if they allowed me to jettison some of my crew members into space, ME2 would have been one of my all-time favourite games.
