also, does the combat get good at some point in ME2? Or is it a wonky cover shooter with wonkier squad controls the whole time? If I gotta work for Space Hitler, at least let it be some amount of fun.

oh, and sending someone to their death as an incorrect choice for an ending isn't quite "throwing these people who think working for the Illusive Man is a good idea into space."

Guys.

The game doesn't need to be "good". It Needs, however, to be fun.


If it's fun, then is worth the timesink.


Combat looks dynamic enough (smart cover could screw things but the jury isn't out yet), lots of gear to choose from, and a (probably) healthy multiplayer.


U$ 40.00 is a fair price imo.

"Game completion 59%"

"Time played 21 hours."

Guy said he did all the main stuff/side quests, everything else was just grabbing collectibles/maybe finding a few extremely wayward endgame quests. Said the main core path took him about 15 hours not rushing, and he spent about 5ish hours trying to 100% a few planets.

Yikers.

This is hilarious if true considering this guy was saying "100 HOURS MINIMUM"

I'd say that, in a year with Horizon: Zero Dawn and Nier: Automata, the bar's been raised for ARPG storylines significantly, and Bioware's firmly clunked their heads on it.

Nier: Automata is the fun, cinematic ARPG that deals with themes of existence, family, sex, love, and death in surprisingly mature ways, and is easily one of the best games of this year.
