Mass Effect 2 Question

[sid]

I'm playing the game so no spoilers please.

I'm getting seriously annoyed and bored with it tbh. The main story hasn't progressed at all much. All I'm doing is recruiting more members which is pointless cos I'm mainly just using the same 2 everytime anyways.

How the hell do I do the normal missions? Do I need to do something to trigger the main story line missions? I'm getting all the side missions like from my crew like find this, save that, blah blah...

sounds a bit "meh" then.

I didn't play the first one but this was one getting rave reviews and recommendations. Doesn't look like my kinda game then. will play a bit more though , I dunno how much more there is left to play though
