Watching the earlier videos of ME2, I noticed that the red glow was still there. Makes me even more mad about those veiny things.

What? You mean you think this could be obtrusive?!?
 
Christ...I feel stupid because it's such a trivial thing, but everytime I see those stupid veins it knocks my excitement for this game down a couple of notches. :[

Easily one of the worst UI elements I've ever seen.
 
I don't mind it. I was thinking they might explain it in the story. The same way they explain how can your Shepard, from the first game, look different.

UI? that red veiny thing is in a lot of games...ME didn't start it
 
All they needed was a red tint, they didn't need to literally wave their fingers across your face screaming, "HEY YOU'RE HURT."

I've been playing games for a long time, I don't need that obvious a damage indicator.

I'm with you on this one that damage indicator (if that's what it is) is ridiculous. When I first saw it I thought to myself "That is going to get extremely annoying"
 
I don't get it either....actually, now that I think about it...lots of games have that red tingy thing....ive just become used to it
 
Do they have it like that, though? With the pulsing veins all around the edges and even going in the main view? I've seen a lot of games doing the red tint at the edges, but I don't think I've seen any do it to that degree.
 
Ive seen a couple games that do have the veins, they are just escaping me at present....most the Call of Duty games have the veins, I think one of the Hitman games had it
 
Im at work, can't see but I hope it's a little more aggressive than the one in the first game
 
The combat is Gears level of aggressive. That says a lot. Especially with locational damage.
 
I'd hit it. After having her thoroughly tested for space std's of course.
 
They had a Q&A at the BestBuy forums, or something like that. There's a transcript available, here.
 
The OXM reveiw has really tempered my excitement for this game. A lot of things that were supposed to have been "improved" seem like they will be worse.
