Mass Effect 2
Buttfranklin:
I drew a comic illustrating what it's like to fight Harbinger as an Engineer.

Pretty much, no matter how much an enemy hates you, no matter how sworn that enemy is to defeating you, no matter how much damage you have dealt that enemy, and no matter how long you charge your Cain at them, the enemy will always always always hate the Combat Drone you summon more. Always.
Makes the game a piece of cake on Insanity.

Been having a lot of fun with this game. Started playing on Veteran with an imported character, went to play Infiltrator. Veteran in ME2 is much, much easier than Veteran in ME1, but you do have to use powers or you're toast. I like how the Paragon/Renegade scores are only dependent on what choices you make instead of how many points you put into those skills. I've mostly been playing Paragon but my Renegade bar is always half as full as Paragon is, so I can still threaten to rip the balls off people I don't like. Renegade options have started to get greyed out on the latest missions after I got off the Collector ship, so I've got to go kick some ass on the other missions so I can play bad cop again. Also, I've only just found out where to get my DLC from. Yaay, Blood Dragon Armor.
Tom:
Bioware releases so much DLC that I've just stopped paying for it.
LTK:
Oh, I didn't actually buy the DLC. I got the armor from Dragon Age, and the rest of the stuff just came with the Cerberus Network. Beats me how the Network is supposed to help me other than by showing news reports.
Planet scanning, the most tedious part of the whole game, is surprisingly enough starting to grow on me. At least it's better than the Mako. It actually feels good if you hit a major deposit of element zero somewhere on a small island. Although it's a shame you can't do all the research there is by stockpiling minerals and then upgrading everything in one go. There are a lot of upgrades that you can only get in shops, and those are expensive. It's really hard to make a lot of money in this game, you really need to get out and do a lot of missions in order to get some decent funds. Not many games can strike a good balance between money sources and money sinks. It seems like you really have to make choices about what to buy and what to leave.
It's similar with the powers the different characters have. It's all very minimalistic, where you only have a handful of powers and points to upgrade them are rare. It's a step forward from ME1, where you really had too many powers and too many points to spend on them. But they still haven't struck the perfect balance. Leveling up powers doesn't really give you a feel for character progression.
I'm spending way too much time on this game.
Blue Kitty:
I didn't find it was hard to make money. Heck, I bought every piece of armor the shops gave me to see how they would look.
In my current play through I had the Cain before I even got Garrus, then again I decided to mix it up and get Grunt first.
