I beat that area after some difficulty. The laser big bad was the major reason for death in that stage.

As things are now, I should be able to beat the game when I decide to play again though.


The Praetorian was really easy for me. Just shoot with my Widow rifle, and use the Tactical Cloak when he got too near. When we was at about half HP, I just used the nuke and obliterated its HP. My main problem was that damned first fight. As an Infiltrator it sucks, and my AI teammates were being so dumb most of the time.

You have no right to complain about friendly AI being bad, as I'm replaying the first game at the moment.
Man it's so bad compared to the sequel.

I had heard about the first game being much worse, but I played the PC version. I was pleasantly surprised. Although, it did seem much harder than the second game at times.

I have to revise my previous statement. TEAM AI was the reason for most of my deaths in insanity so far. Although, I didn't really use the tactical cloak. Since I don't like it.

Yeah, mostly it's been AI bugs to be honest, as I'm on the PC as well, they do things like stare at walls at enemies they can't see but are close to put them into a hostile stance.
Amusingly, I'm on my fourth playthrough and I'm still finding new things, even in stuff like the combat.

On stage 12 in Army Corps of Hell, and I picked up Dynasty warriors Next at Walmart with a gift card I forgot I had.

ME2 is going pretty well, actually. Managed to pass the Collector Ship with relative ease after the first battle. I acquired the Reaper IFF, and I've got Tali's and Legion's loyalty missions left to do. I'm mad because I lost Miranda's loyalty because I didn't have enough Paragon to solve the issue between her and Jack. I still don't. I'm afraid the same thing might happen with Tali and Legion once their argument happens. If I end up having to progress the story at this point, I might end up losing two of my teammates in the final mission.

The world size seemed pretty large in the first game when compared to the second (the the sequel first), but I guess it's because they streamlined the first. So, the second game seemed smaller, yet the overall quality was higher.
One thing about the first is that everyone seemed to be talking about how much worse the graphics were on it, but I really didn't think so...

EDIT:
I don't know how to lose loyalty on ME2... it's never happened before.

Miranda and Jack (Legion and Tali as well) have an argument after you do both of their loyalty missions, I believe. If you don't have enough Paragon (or Renegade, I wouldn't know), then whoever you side with in the argument will remain loyal while the one who you don't pick stops being loyal. If this happens, I think if you gain a higher P/R score, you'll be able to convince them to become loyal again. My problem is that it isn't because it is such a high requirement for it to happen.

I've failed to have a high enough Paragon/Renegade score on both of those events, but I've still never lost loyalty @.@
I wonder if there is other factors at play there.

Playing The Last Story, making good progress, the last two bosses were a slap in the face though.

You can talk with them after, and if you manoeuvre yourself through the conversation properly and pass a paragon/renegade check you can re-earn their lost loyalty.
You can also botch some of the loyalty missions so they're completed but you don't gain that character's loyalty.
Although the fact it's called 'loyalty' still doesn't fit very well, particularly with some characters. :|

The problem is that in order to re-earn Miranda's loyalty, you need a damn high Paragon or Renegade score in order to pull it off, and I still don't have it...

BUT I BEAT THE GAME ON INSANITY!!! OH MY GOD, YES!

But three people died in the process because I was rusty on the choices, so I have to try again, this time on Casual. I have to find a way to make Miranda not die, because it doesn't seem possible for me to win back her loyalty. Not this late in the game...

Congrats on that! I would do it but I like keeping my hair attached to my head.

It's not that bad, actually. I didn't have too much trouble with it (but that's because I was an Infiltrator). My biggest problem was the first fight of the Collector ship. As for the rest of the game, it was okay. A few deaths here and there, but nothing that's too hard. I'm just so pissed that I don't have Miranda's loyalty anymore and I can't really get it back. I'll have to figure something out...
