How can anyone resist not punching her? It's great. It's even better than headbutting a krogan.

My favorite thing is the video you can find from LotSB where a Krogan punches her :haw:

e: and the Volus kicks her in the shins
Yes, those are definitely great too. But they lack the wonderful satisfactory feeling you get with player input.

Oh god, the combat dialog. I had completely suppressed that. I will destroy you! I will destroy you! Go go go! I will destroy you! Enemies everywhere! I will destroy you! You must die! Go go go!

pretty easy actually. Shep delivers some solid as hell verbal beatdowns if you go that route, and it pays off in ME3 better in my opinion.
Unless the ME3 payoff is a verbal beatdown in the form of a rap battle that ends with Shepard dropping the mic on her foot it can't be worth missing out on some punching. :colbert:

You know, it's funny that even though it makes sense that they are saying "enemies everywhere" when the males say it it sounds more like they are saying "enemy is everywhere"
Yeah, I'm just guessing that was what they say. It's kinda dumb since Shepard and party members will usually be pretty close together and not spread out everywhere.

Every time I see/play this part I forget just how many elevators there are. But it's not too bad, it is supposed to be up on a peak and it breaks up all the endless corridors a little.

We'll have the valiant protagonist Goatard fighting the evil Harvesters, and in the sequel there will be the never-shutting-up Precursor and his servants: The Hoarders.

One thing that really disappointed me in ME2 was the space battle near the end. It just dragged on for far too long and the dense junk field of crap they had to navigate through is one thing I've never cared for in sci-fi. The big bad ship getting one-shotted was really anti climatic but those silly barrels were somehow supposed to be a threat? Lol, no. Just no. You even take one out by hand for fucks sake. Oh no, the Normandy is being chased by one of them until Joker gets serious and does an amazing and unpredictable move, a loop, which totally outmaneuvers the dull enemy drone. Yawn. The drat cutscene is unskippable too to make things even worse and I almost wanted to the first time I saw it.

Compare it to the space fight in ME1 end which is way more tense and interesting and actually has a real and dangerous enemy. I don't actually know if the ME1 cutscene is unskippable or not as I have never even felt like finding out.

I wish it was easier to kill off Miranda. Jakob is just bland and boring so he can live I suppose but Miranda is just so... creepy. Everything about her is creepy and she's just a bootlick buttlick with her head so far up her superior's rear end she could lick the back off his teeth. Jack is trying way too hard to be all edgy and poo poo and, as mentioned, she's so weak and useless in the game compared to the other companions while kicking, heavily scripted, rear end in cutscenes. Down the space toilet you go.

I think I've only fallen off with the Mako once in that whole area, then I just drove more carefully and assumed it was intended to be part of the difficulty of the place since the enemies are fewer and easier than other driving sections (I think). :shrug:

If the Thorian was there before they built the city, why is it at the top of a sky scraper? Did it climb up?

LotSB is fantastic in general. It's where Liara finally finds a sense of humor, and turns out she's actually funny.
If you ignore the drop cutscene stupidity, backseat driving, the buggy parking lot and the awful boss fight (I'm amazed they didn't just strap that character to the front of a ship and crushed everything with the now essentially indestructible armor). And that's just the first half. The rest was good however.

I never bothered transferring saves between Dragon Age 1-2. It felt a bit pointless since you're playing a completely different character in a completely different location and the few cameos from the first just seemed like cameos. :shrug:

This is also a game where, in (almost) the same cutscene, a Lieutenant felt he needed to give deference to a Sergeant.

You have to buy it off of the bioware social network website and that will give you an individual installer that will install it onto your steam installation.

And you have to do this for EVERY single piece of Downloadable Content for Mass Effect 2.

The bioware what?

Oh gods it's one of those awful poo poo "stores" where you have to pay real money for fake points you spend in order to actually buy something. Also known as "we want to make it as annoying and obnoxious as possible to buy our stuff because we hate money". I can't stand that. :sigh:

I like to imagine Shepard listening to the music during the fight up the citadel and singing along.

The citadel space battle is really cool with Sovereign just :killdozer: through the defense fleet not giving a gently caress and Admiral Hackett being all "Negative! This is our only chance!". Shooting Geth, Saren and Saren/Sovereign interspersed with cutscenes of the fleet action really helps to make it feel epic and to give it a sense of urgency.

If my memory is correct Wrex puts two bullets through Saren's head when making sure he's dead, everyone else just shoots once.
