I think guns kinda suck in Mass Effect 1 - why oh why did I pick infiltrator, the sniper rifle is awful - but actual combat pacing doesn't feel much different between the two games. you just have downtime in different moments. in Mass Effect 1, it's in the tactical wheel where you're using your powers, each with their own individual cooldown. in 2, it's often behind cover, because there's a universal cooldown on powers. there's a change in design philosophy but the outcome is roughly comparable.

ME1 is fantastic. ME2 is fantastic.

yeah, definitely.

ninkendo posted...
I think I liked ME1 more than 2

I still lean towards 2. It's centred on a cast of characters who I really enjoy. There's narrative weight with Mordin that reflects on what you did in the first game and it makes the universe feel alive, responsive. I think a lot of what made Mass Effect 1 so special is that it was so full of potential. With the series completed, whatever your opinion on the games, the potential is realized and the game feels smaller for it. But your first experience with the game still counts for something; you can't take that back.

I haven't watched this yet but it's by far the worst part of the yakuza playthrough. He keeps not so subtlety guiding Dan on what to do and what's coming up

Over the last week I've done some catching up on older videos and noticed Alex doing the same thing throughout the SotN playthough and the last bad adventure game Vinny played, to the point that Vinny several times said to just let him play and figure things out. I know Alex isn't a real big fan of just screwing around in games but if they are going to put him in the roll of guiding the person who is playing so they don't get stuck, I really hope he gets better at doing it subtlety or when to just not say anything even if he knows what to do next.
