On my second attempt at the game, I tried moving slowly and carefully, and failed miserably at the same spot as the previous time. So I totally suck at it, and for that reason I can't say I like it.
Mass Effect 2 is a great game, but doesn't hold a candle to the first one. It lacks the atmosphere, exploration and sense of discovery (even if there wasn't much to discover on the different planets), plus any kind of character customization sans a few skills.
While I agree with this to a certain extent (especially the part about atmosphere), the Mako exploration in the first game was total ass imo, as was the customization UI. God that was an ungodly mess, so I didn't miss them in the slightest when they were gone in ME2. Add to that the focus on the characters (which I think is the strongest part of the ME games) and improved combat and ME2 becomes my favorite game in the trilogy. I still like ME1 a lot though, a close second in the trilogy imo.
Talking about ME, I finished my first ever ME3 Insanity playthrough with all the story DLC installed. The DLC definitely makes the game feel more complete, which is both a good and a bad thing. Good because I found the DLC actually pretty good (especially Citadel, that DLC is definitely worth the asking price), but also bad because it highlights how incomplete and rushed the base game felt to me, which is not something I can say of the other two games, which felt like complete, well rounded experiences even without the DLC. Anyway, playing ME3 on Insanity with an Infiltrator actually turned the whole thing into easy mode, so I'´ll have to try it some time with my Engineer and Vanguard.
Btw, I went back to the ME3 multiplayer and I'm hooked again. I just unlocked the Awakened Collector char, and he did what I thought was impossible: it actually made playing an Adept fun. Just when I think I'm done with the multiplayer it pulls me back in. -_-
