    I winder how it'll turn out?

    Though i must admit i was one of the rare few that actually really enjoyed the somewhat wonky physics/handling of the Mako

    I , on the other hand, found it absolutely useless. A jetpack or a landspeeder would have been faster.
    All being said, I am delighted another Mass Effect game is coming. The Mass Effect series was superb!

    Re: News - Upcoming Mass Effect will see a return of the Mako Vehicle

    I've seen this headline in so many places, and I really don't understand the love for it. It was a bog standard transport vessel in the game, was absolutely nothing stand out, was a functional vehicle.

    I am looking forward to more Mass Effect though, I was lucky enough to not play em until the 3rd one came out, so played them all in 1 go, was a blast (also, amazingly interesting to see the game evolve without time dampening the impact)

    I think the issue was more what they replaced it with.

    The universe felt much bigger when you were driving across huge empty craters in the Mako than when you fired probes from orbit.

    Why?! Dear God why?!?! The Mako was the most infuriating thing about ME1 why would they want to bring it back?!

    No. No. Maybe I'm being too harsh. It might not suck. It might even be okay. Maybe the controls will be better and the Mako missions will suck less. If not, I can always replay ME2 and ME3 for the (insert random high number) time.

    Urgh I hated the Mako so much, horrible gameplay which was made even worse when playing the game on Insanity.

    Then again I don't generally like forced vehicle parts of any game. Makes me angry.

    I think it was far more fun using M&KB over console controller. Took a couple goes to get the hang, but once that was down I could just speed around blowing up Thresher Maws all day!

    Re: News - Upcoming Mass Effect will see a return of the Mako Vehicle

    I liked the Mako in the PC version, Demiurge Studios did a good job translating the controls to PC. It worked much better.

    ME1 felt like you were in more of a universe, ME2/3 felt much more constrained.
