For me pretty much everything outside of the story, main quest line and side quests, is a chore. The combat is mediocre at best and the UI is awful when it comes to using your squad's powers. Unless you feel like you've made decisions you really regret then I wouldn't bother starting again. Even if you have I wouldn't anyway, I played through each of the games in the series on my first play through without trying to be "good" or "bad" and just going with instinct on the decisions and it really made the story develop fantastically well for me as I felt that further down the line I was really feeling the effects of my earlier choices rather than picking something major based on whether I'd decided to be "good" or "bad" when I first put the disc in.
For me, ME1 after the first playthrough was about blasting through the combat situations on casual and just enjoying the rest of the game to it's fullest, should have done it the first time through too.. It won't be a challenge, but upping the difficulty on the first Mass Effect wasn't like the latter two for me, it didn't make it a more enjoyable challenge, it just made it an incredibly frustrating one. God damn that game has terrible (non-existent mostly) checkpointing.
Also you don't get to change your class at the beginning of ME2 when you import from ME1, you're stuck with the class you chose at the beginning of ME1 (at least I was on the 360). Which is another reason I prefer playing through on lower difficulties because you're not punished for picking a class you will enjoy throughout the next game as well where combat is evolved hugely, is far more fun and the UI makes it far easier to use squad powers for combos and such meaning the power of classes like Adept is infinitely higher than it was in the first game.
Hey guys, I'd love a key if anyone has one available, I don't have many posts but I've been a member of the site for far longer than this thread so I didn't sign up here just for free stuff, only prefer lurking and reading to posting much...
Poyples is my steam ID if there's any available. Thanks.
@Poyples: what does it mean where you come from (I have been all over the world, never heard it said this way so I am genuinely curious)?
To take something said with a pinch of salt is to consider it with doubt. It means exactly the same as the grain of salt comment, which I have never heard in my life before, and so I imagine it's just what is said in the UK in it's place.
The moment he says pinch of salt I'd have deleted it. If you don't even know as simple an expression as "grain of salt" you're not a professional in the know about something (meaning, in short, you have no reason to trust what I'm about to say and I admit that- because a grain of sale is meaningless, a pinch of salt is a HELL of a lot more salt... god... sorry that really bugged me).
The expression is pinch of salt where I'm from. Odd how people from different countries and even regions talk differently isn't it?
I personally feel Dungeon Keeper simply must be played by everyone. That and Theme Hospital are two of the greatest games I played growing up and I still play them every so often now. Also Sim Golf.
