As a fan on Mass Effect 1, I have to say I'm a little disappointed with the sequel. I'm not going to rant now because I'd like to see at least 1 other opinion before I do. The TL;DW is:
-Campaign is linear
-New exploring system makes exploring a pain in the ass
-New HUD looks like a bad flash animation
-Regenerating Health?
-Where has the great list of talents gone?
-So much for the old style weapons
-Here, lets take all the characters you sort of knew and keep them, and trash pretty much all of the rest (Tali and Garrus excluded)
-Very monotonous combat (same routine, over and over and over)
-Ridiculous loading screens
-General intelligence level of the game has plummeted.
-Who the hell made the husks so varied (in cliched ways) and the friendly AI so unhelpful? On that same note where the hell did the Geth go?
Kind of a long TL;DW, but those are mostly the necessary ones. Maybe it had something to do with me beating ME1 right before I started ME2, or maybe I'm just a hardcore ME1 fan (which I'm really not), but I feel like ME2 is a dumbed down game that critics only rave about because they're tools of Bioware, and really the only thing going for it is a graphics upgrade.
