I know that there are people out there who will think me insane, or that I'm just one of those complainers who's never satisfied, but I honestly miss the elevators! Of course, I understand the problem with them. They were sometimes INCREDIBLY long, and pretty boring; However, there's nothing that can compare to the near seamless gameplay of Mass Effect! Sure, the loading screens are faster, but the problem is that it takes you out of the game! A video game that is designed to have a cinematic feel shouldn't have loading screens! Personally, I think they should've worked on speeding up the elevators, and making them more interesting. Maybe a little more banter between teammates? I firmly believe that, had the devs tried to speed up the elevators, rather than scrap them entirely, they might have caught the little elevator door problem on the Normandy SR-2, discussed here. We may never know how that elevator works! See!? Ugh! I'm just trying to rally everyone to the cause because I know I'm in the minority.

All in all, I simply wish that elevators would've been given a second chance. If anyone has an opinion, either way, speak your peace.
