Mass Effect's Mako Vehicle Weirdness

The terrain rover you drive on Mass Effect has notoriously terrible steering and control. I consider myself one of the better warthog drivers from Halo, but I always have a really tough time getting used to this stank vehicle's controls.

Well, you apparently can't steer the damn thing.

@MDealer - you should join the CSI team.

only one thing that I realized.. check out my video response where I play with the Mako on PC.

on PC if you hit the spacebar the macko jumps with it's jetpack or something but I never see you using it in your videos.. do you have the same thingy on X360?

[ablestmage]

Yeah it's there, I normally only use it when climbing or descending mountains, or jumping over missiles coming down long hallways ^_^

can you tell me a little about this game?can u free roam or do you just do missions?can you travel to diff planets?how good is it all together?

[ablestmage]

It's free roaming for the most part, although parts of it seem forced-to-go-this-way. You can visit planets that don't have anything to do with missions, and you can generally roam those planets as you please although there aren't a lot of things to do there. Aside from the Mako driving, I really enjoyed the game and the story is really good. I've got a 26-part series of the entire Mass Effect story line, if you want to know it, some gameplay included, to get a feel for it.

In never thought It'd say I missed the Mako, but that fucking hammerhead in ME2...

At lest the mako could take three shots before blowing the hell up.

I love the Mako! Don't you talk shit 'boot it!

[CheaterGuy1998]

GET TO DA MAKO!!!

[uberpwnage1112]

Damn dude i hope i never see you on the road... well in your case it would probobly be the side walk

[blklightning330]

looks like batman's tumbler.

[Halo1138]

Well obviously the geth's mass effect field is interfering with that of the Mako's thus forcing your vehicle into a state of gravitational flux!

[SagittariusEquester]

love it. ME3 has it again?



[MDealer]

Played it... never had so much problems.

[MDealer]

@ablestmage It was meant like... "YOU can't steer it." It's much easier to deal with using non-analog controls and having more than one finger on the buttons.

[Al5ezdlt]

@MDealer You obviously have never played Mass Effect. The damn thing has a mind of its own.

[fan977]

The unrealistic physics, awful controls assigned to the driving which makes driving and shooting at the same time really hard and irritating. I did adjust to the controls and than it wasn't so bad but this was in my opinion the worst part of an otherwise excellent game.
