Modificar a gameplay pra algo mais próximo de Gears of War fez bem demais pro jogo como um todo. Sacrificou parte da exploração pra trazer muito mais dinamismo narrativo e tornou cada pequena interação em algo muito significativo como um todo. Os personagens estão ótimos, é o melhor cast que eu conheço. A gameplay está significativamente melhor e o jogo é bem mais bonito também. A missão final é coisa de outro mundo.
Mass Effect 2 was something I wished I got to sooner. But I think in the Legendary Edition, I was given the full, genuine intended experience. And as for my thoughts?
Ahem. I think this is one of the greatest games ever made. The amount of effort into the scripting of choice and consequence is something you don't really see in most other games. Shepard manages to be a fantastic protagonist and despite being voiced? They feel like your character and BioWare's protagonist at the same time. All of that is stellar. The cast of characters is colorful, voice acted well, and interesting. It's immersive, it's captivating, it knows how to hit all the right buttons when it needs to, and there's nothing really quite like Mass Effect.
Mass Effect 2 also streamlined many of the systems from Mass Effect 1... and somehow made the game better in the process! Most games nowadays would get flak for dumbing things down so much, but removing the inventory management of ME1, making weapons magazine-based, and improving on the gunplay (with some obvious Gears inspiration) was a novel idea. BioWare deserves all the praise for this space-faring experience. And experience really is the right word for it, because Mass Effect is more than just an RPG. It's stunningly captivating in its own right.
Score: 96

Jack being unfathomably hot in Mass Effect 2 changed my life.
Prior, I held very conservative views on beauty and aesthetics. My first time playing ME2 i romanced Miranda, even. She was traditionally pretty, modeled on Yvonne Strahovski, and had enough to say to be useful, but was quiet most of the time and faded into the scenery.
Perfect for a male power fantasy about being the coolest guy in the galaxy.
Jack challenged that. She had a buzzcut, she had tattoos. She had a temper, and she was lippy. She challenged gender roles- my gender roles, and i remember being uncomfortable by it all, but always finding reasons to have her in my party.
On subsequent playthroughs i romance Jack.
I was still too young to think on things like gender expression or societal pressures, but when i did begin to challenge and question those things, its that dynamic with Jack that i would use as a touchstone to help me separate the wheat from the chaff- which beliefs are mine and which are ingrained from birth to adulthood by nature of being a cis white male involved in a hobby as gross and regressive as videogames can be.
The rest of the game features a paint by numbers pattern of go here help people and they in turn help you, but the place it shines are in characters, dozens of them as interesting prisms to life both real and fictional as Jack can be. That ME2 culminates in the suicide run is just the icing on the cake. Here i can see those relationships put to the test. When i need him most will Legion ante up and deliver?
Is Jacob really the man for this task?
Almost assuredly yes because its almost impossible to play ME2 and not fully complete the hardening missions for everyone as theyre just so damn good.
If theres any criticism worth levelling at ME2, i think the music is a bit forgettable and thats a damn shame, because everything else top to bottom is not.

Surpasses the first game in pretty much every way and especially in the characters department, Pretty much every one of your crew members are likable and interesting. This game is the pinnacle of science fiction games.
I don´t know why and I´m probably the only one who thinks that, but I like ME1 better
En iyisi
Mass Effect 2 is incredible, a sci-fi adventure masterpiece that should sit alongside the likes of Star Wars as one of the genre greats.
There are some pitfalls here and there, such as concessions made to the RPG aspects of the game in favour of smoothing the clunkier gameplay of the original release of Mass Effect or a variety of content cut short or left unfinished due to either development time limits, console hardware limits (such as DVD size limits on the Xbox 360), or publisher backlash fears (such as Bioware cutting down on the freedom of available companion romance options), but even with all the wondering of what could have been put aside Mass Effect 2 is still a must-play for any fans of sci-fi or RPGs.

One of the best games of all time.
Bir çok kişi tarafından serinin en iyi oyunu olarak düşünülüyor. Ben de aynı düşünüyorum. İnsan olan companionlar sıkıcı olsalarda kalan companionlar güzel yazılmış. Suicide Missiona kadar geçen sürede oyun çaresizlik ve tedirginlik hissini çok güzel hissettiriyor. Bu hisler yüzünden ve ikinci oyun olması itibariyle oyunun dünyasına kolayca adapte oluyorsunuz. Oyunun sonu güzel bağlanıyor.

Played this as a part of the remaster they released and it’s incredible. One of the best story’s of a game period. Looks amazing for its time and has much improved fighting in comparison to the first game. I made decisions that saved every crew member so that I could see its impact on 3. I did this by saving and trying again when it went wrong. However it’s crazy all the options in here and how much it impacts 3. Love it
(RPG SEVİYOSANIZ OYNAYIN) Bu seri, benim nacizane aklımın bu küçük kutucuğa yazabileceği bir oyun değil. Tecrübe edilmesi gereken ve sevenlerin çok seveceği, sevmeyenlerin de 1 saatten fazla oynamayacağı bir oyun. Bu arada üç oyunu art arda oynamayın sakın hikaye anlatımları birbirine çok benziyor ve sıkabiliyor. Şunuda söyleyeyim 1. oyunun oynanışı çok kötü ama 2. oyun çok büyük oranda topluyor 3. oyun tekrardan bozuyor.
