Anyone else seriously underwhelmed by Mass Effect?

I agree its not really all the wonderful. I haven't even been able to finish it, I always seem to lose interest.

Thought Kotor and Mass Effect both sucked.

Kotor had poor controls, combat and there was loading every 5 mins whichw as annoying.

Mass Effect was just so generic with bad combat again but with poor side quests and it was really repetitive once you left the Citadel going to like 3 or 4 planets doing the same old ****

I thought mass effect was a pretty good game, it's definitely more movie like compared to something like The Witcher. I didn't do many side quests so I was involved with the main story. I don't think the side quests were very good.nutcrackr

I enjoyed the game for it's story elements and i thought the main enviroments were good and agree that the side missions were just a chore.

I'd barely call it an RPG, its more of a hybrid but i would definitely like to see them expand on the rpg elements - id like more loot and control over customization(appearance anyone!?) but i still liked it.

It is one of my favorite games of all time. Seriously why does everyone hate it?

[QUOTE="MrWednesday14"]- Some of the choices were brutal and therefore pretty heart wrenching to make. One of the few times the game elicited any real emotion in me.naval

Mass Effect is my favorite game ever so I guess I was not underwhelmed with it. I loved how my actions actually had an impact on the story.

^ As do all RPG games.

I don't actually remember my actions having any impact on the story, tbh.
Sure, a few quests ended in different ways, but since you never return to any planets I didn't feel like I'd done anything meaningful for the entire game.

Yes it's a very mediocre game,not sooo bad that i couldn't finish it but really not worth much praise.Was a good attempt but fell short in most areas.

Overall I thought it was an enjoyable game. My biggest beef actually was that it was just like KotOR.. yet again. I couldnt shake the feeling that it was the 4th time I played KotOR just with new skins and diffrent names.

The overall world design, the character, dialog and character systems. The stories, the plot twists the generic 'in the end you get to decide the fate of the galaxy / world / whatever. KotOR1, KotOR2, Jade Empire and now ME all feel very similar to me.
