I’ve been replaying Mass Effect one recently so I can import a character over to the sequel, something I wasn’t able to do on my three play-throughs (quiet, Eddy). For those of you who may not be familiar with the mechanics of importing versus not importing a legacy Shepard, the game assumes that you made certain decisions, all of which follow the Renegade path, something I don’t usually do in moral choice games.
While Mass Effect one still holds up, one thing that’s really getting to me are the Mako driving sections. That armored personnel carrier handles like a hyper-active child throwing his Hot Wheels around, and I’ve gotten stuck in narrow canyons more times than I care to mention. While I may hate the Mako with a passion, the good folks over at BioWare have decided to give the old wheeled vehicle a make-over and transform it into a hovering tank. Watch the tank in action in the following video:
Pretty slick, if you ask me. Looks like BioWare solved all the complaints with the Mako, which were mostly concerning handling and the occasional problem of not being able to aim properly due to wonky terrain. Most of us have probably finished our ME2 campaigns by now, but who’s going to jump back in and give the “Firewalker” DLC pack a try? It’s coming out late March free for Cerberus members, and those who didn’t buy the game new will have to pay $15USD to join the Network.
Hey, lucky me, I haven’t finished my ME2 campaign yet!
…What? I had… things to do! Yeah!
I just have to say that that looked really boring. Very few enemies, one lame gun and boring terrain, from what I saw.
I have the network for free, so I’m getting it for sure. I’m also doing 3 playthroughs too..technically. There’s my main Shepard that I finished the game with already (I still find ways to have fun and play with him though) My evil Shepard (Female) and my in between guy Adrian…and yes I ripped that from Half Life
(Anyone who has played ME and HL:OF is a liar if they say they didn’t name atleast one of their Shepards “Adrian”)
