Beta thorgo Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 and driving around the planets gets so repetitive..I love the game but occasionally I found myself drooling with boredom trying to recover artifacts that I did not need because I had the best stuff a long time ago!

Phenoviral Posted August 14, 2010 Share Posted August 14, 2010 i use it for cover thats all its good for lol and the hammerhead isnt that great mass effect should of stayed infintry game imo or they should have a good car I'm actually ashamed to admit that I don't know how well this works. I've always been afraid to take cover behind it in case of it exploding and forcing a checkpoint load. Does it not take any further damage while you're no longer in it?

Pearson Posted August 14, 2010 Share Posted August 14, 2010 I didn't mind the Mako, it sure did beat having to walk everywhere and came in handy on extreme frozen, toxic and heated planets. It was combat ineffective at times, but once you get the hang of it, the easier it is to use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XGearskillerX Posted August 14, 2010 Share Posted August 14, 2010 Wow. I read about how much people hated the Mako before playing the game myself and i was dreading getting in one. When i finally got in it for the first time in the game, i didn't notice anything... Am i the only one who had no problems with this vehicle? I haven't played this in a year or 2 so i may be forgetting times it did annoy me, but for the most part i didn't have any problems with it. It could be because unlike most people who like to complain about something in a game like this, i usually just adapt to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've always been afraid to take cover behind it in case of it exploding and forcing a checkpoint load. Does it not take any further damage while you're no longer in it? No..the Mako still takes damage. The funny part is that you wont die till you get in it. Sooo you can use it as a shield, jus make sure you wont need it to finish w/e you're doin>.>.

BaldWombat Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 After beating ME2 i found myself missing the Mako quite a bit I liked the Overlord DLC because it felt more like the first game. I liked the idea of the Mako, I just wish it controlled better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When i finally got in it for the first time in the game, i didn't notice anything... Am i the only one who had no problems with this vehicle?. I get by fine on it too, the terrain on a couple of planets was a nightmare, but for the most part I enjoyed it. I had no problems using it in combat either, you can knock the Armatures & Colossus over, which was pretty useful on Insanity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Walrus Posted September 25, 2010 Share Posted September 25, 2010 I love the Mako, I enjoyed jumping around and climibing near-vertical cliff faces [spoiler=ID]It's a shame the Mako wasn't in ME2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lord verh Posted October 23, 2010 Share Posted October 23, 2010 it is actually a cool vehicle, just don't use the jump ability when you don't need it(to avoid projectiles), you can drive almost everywhere just use common sense, and be honest, the Mako looks better then your car, right?

uskomaton Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 I remember the first time I landed on Noveria and tried to get thru that tunnel, what pain. But I just recently started playing ME "for real" on this new account and I don't find the Mako to be a pain at all. Noveria was a breeze, you just have to know when to run away and let your shields repair and run far enough to be able to save. Saving after everything is the key, I've got 36 hours of game time on it now and well over 700 saves. Yes, I save after EVERYTHING I do. Noveria specifically is easy if you use the cannon (RB) to take out the shields first, you end up killing some of the geth at the same time, do it from a distance. After that it's a cake.

bakeryfreshgame Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 (edited) the mako does suck but its not really the controls that bother me as it is basically driving a warthog in halo... but it can jump and has the dexterity of a rock... the best I've been able to do especially in light of wanting to get as much xp as possible is to equip someone in your squad with armor made by devlon industries. it has the unique (and unlabeled) ability to completely negate level 1 environmental hazards and reduce level 2 to level 1 meaning you can stay out and shoot on foot longer or indefinitely EDIT: I have just discovered that I love driving the mako when I'm all zoomed in, it makes it seem faster and like a roller coaster with all the crazy ups and downs Edited February 19, 2011 by bakeryfreshgame Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a blind beggar Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 You guys know that you can zoom in with the Mako by pressing the right stick right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UnleashTheCASEY Posted December 12, 2010 Share Posted December 12, 2010 I never had any problems with the Mako. The missions were a little on the boring, repetitive side, but none of them were ever difficult even on Insanity. The Hammerhead was fine, but again, the missions got a little repetitive. I would love to be able to do some space combat controlling the Normandy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XperimntNterror Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 I'm finally getting around to doing the Hardcore and Insanity playthroughs for ME (just finished Insanity for ME2 so it got me in the mood to do ME's). Anyway, I fucking hate the Mako in almost every way and, usually, just get out of it to deal with any enemies (except for the turrets) or just speed passed them if it looks like an option (I can't tell you how much I love having to get out of the Mako on planets with Environmental Hazards... eesh). I am wondering about one thing; the end of the game. You know, the part where you have to drive the Mako into that portal and enemies of all kinds are shooting the hell out of you? Even on Casual the Mako is barely able to make it through without being on fire. I'm honestly concerned that this will be the most annoying part of the Hardcore/Insanity playthroughs. I'm at Therum now, to recruit Liara (finished Feros/Noveria/Virmire) and then it's off to the end-game mission. Anybody who has done this have some pointers for how to get the Mako through that gauntlet without being obliterated? You're on a timer, too, so you don't have time to stop and kill anything.

Perhaps the problem is that you aren't spending enough time driving the Mako to get used to it! Seriously, though, if I can get through the gauntlet then anybody can. I don't think there's much difference, if any, between running the gauntlet on any difficulty level. Just charge through as fast as possible and try and veer out of the way of any missiles. Also, where you know enemies are going to appear try to keep to the same side that they are to narrow their shooting opportunity, and it doesn't hurt to keep shooting even though you don't really have time to aim. I made it first time all 3 times so it can't be all that difficult, but then I quite liked the Mako once I got used to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kdfarnham Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 I just finished ME for the first and I have to agree with some of you and admit that the Mako was my least favorite part of the game. I'm not going to go so far as saying I hated it, but it definitely took some getting used to! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I made it first time all 3 times so it can't be all that difficult, but then I quite liked the Mako once I got used to it. You're probably right . I finished my Hardcore playthrough last night and when I got to that part, I just waited at the top of the hill before initiating the timer until my shields were fully recharged (forgot how long that takes). Made it through before my shields were even taken down. I don't think the Mako would be so bad if it had more "weight". Even if you hit the smallest obstacle, it either shoots up into the air like a rocket or does 6 barrel rolls across the ground. And when jumping, it becomes very difficult to keep it from landing sideways. Would've been awesome if the areas weren't so straightforward and you had some branching paths where you could just opt to run through those areas on foot (for those of us who just don't like that damn thing), but I suppose Bioware was pretty proud of it's inclusion. Oh well. There have been worse things to deal with in other games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
