Not because the combat, but because getting knocked down by an Asari commando (which is literally all they do) on the stairs locks you out of the game. You can't get up, you can't heal, you can't even access the menu.
Fun times.
I got pushed through a wall. Unfortunately for them I could shoot the enemies but they couldn't shoot me.
I just ran toward my enemies firing my AR and laughing as their attacks bounced off the shields I apparently scavenged from a Dreadnought at some point.
Man...all this ME1 talk is making me want to play it again.
But then It'll remind me how bad the combat was and I won't want to play it anymore.
For whatever reason, it runs worse then ME2 does on my PC, and looks worse at that. But ME1 PC was a bad port, and ME2 was made for both the 360 and PC in mind. I also made like three male shepards and couldn't play them because they look awful. Custom just looks awful unless you're great at making faces, and I'm debating just going default.
Why is it such an admission of sucktude that playing on normal is for wimps? I haven't played a game on "hard" since MGS4. "Normal" is just that, normal difficulty. And I haven't played a game on easy since Godhand (on the first playthrough).
It's not exceptionally hard, but even as a soldier in both ME games you can die if you're not careful. Even with import bonuses.

Here's my main in ME2:
There are two things that strike me as odd with your image there
One (and not really a big deal) I always find it weird seeing a non-Vanderloo male Shep
And two, you maxed out concussive shot but not incendiary ammo? Come on

The screenshot was taken months ago, like in Feb. I've redone my skills, but yeah, back then I had no idea what was good and what wasn't.
I dunno, I just wish they gave you better options for male sheps. You can make very beautiful femsheps, but male sheps are like an art to make.

Well, it is moreso that RPGs in general tend to be a lot easier than most other genres.
Not to mention enemies already die for me pretty fast on Hardcore/Insanity in ME2, I could only imagination how it would be on normal where the majority of foes have light to no shielding.

I was just kidding. Regardless, once you have AR and the class skill maxed everything else is a bonus.

But seriously, ME2 is the only game in years which has repeatedly CTD for me, and I've had waaaaay more geometry clipping problems than in ME1, which were more easily fixable anyway since it actually had console access.
At least from the back to back play through I did right before ME2's launch, so, like, half a year ago now?

ME on the xbox was fine
But ME on the PC was bug city
Hell I had to go into the game files and change the sound files manually so that I could actually hear things. Oh and Therum was made of dark matter. And I got stuck on terrain a lot. And sometimes my weapons just didn't cool down.
You know, I'm kind of sad at how Shiala got a sort of puffy face in ME2. I've kind of forgotten but she looked a lot better in ME1 to me.
Don't even get me started on this. I was praying for the return of a sexable shiala in ME2 and what do they do? She comes back as fugly shiala and all you get is some suggestion of "when you're not doing whatever it is you're doing". This is SHEPARD we're talking about here. :x

Made things REALLY easy.
I memorized all the AI patterns and spawns
That seems like a lot of work.
I just played a Soldier.
They tried to bury us. They didn't know that we were seeds. 2018 Midterms. Get your shit together.
FUCK YOU IMMUNITYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

And laughed and laughed and laughed.
Still, I use immunity all the time. Better than getting one shotted by goddamn snipers.
Then I go and see DA:O's customizer and am awestruck in how much better it is.

I just shot things until they died and spammed barrier and singularity with my Vanguard.
I just played the game on normal to trivialize all combat, so I could get to the good parts.

it's the baseline that the developers expect, and it's usually a good introduction to the game's systems and rules
insanity is for later :P
benezia? i had the hardest time fighting her the first time until i realized that i wasn't supposed to shoot HER.

When ME3 rolls around though, I'll play Insanity on my first runthrough if that's an option. And the combat isn't too different.
.....And nobody should ever, ever, ever take Armor Piercing Ammo over Incendiary Ammo.

Except on my failed mission run because I didn't feel like putting work into a character I was just going to kill anyway.
default manshep is sexy
But it's so hard making a nice looking one that well, I'm considering trying him out in a ME1-ME2 run.
Also, apparently ME3 will be officially announced in October sometime, according to rumors flying around on the BioWare forums.

I have the same rule for sushi restaurants in landlocked states.
Don't trust 'em
angryshep (my soldier)
cosmonautshep (my engineer)
and curlyshep (my sentinel, a decent approximation of me)
also, while digging through my screenshots folder, i found some ME1 pics that are begging for a caption contest
have at it!

Aw yeah, that's nice
