Come on 8.5? Even though Gamerankings has at just under 9.4 right now which ranks it top 50 ALL TIME from combined ratings from all the sites together. That puts it overHalo 3 and God of War and just behind games like GTA3, MGS, and Gears of war.

Which means it should have got a 9.0-9.5 here.

I mean does the guy not like RPGs or something? He says Combat was weak for the bad categoary. Even though he said useing bionic powers was fun? Contradiction rightthere.So if being able torun around shoot and take cover and use power in a RPG this deep then what adjective do you use forthe action in games like KOTOR and FF? And his only other complaint was annoying interface issuses.

Whatever good action you get from the game is just iceing on the cake the reviewer didnt really get that. I think some action is better than no action even if it is weak.

get over it
i just bought the game not an hour ago, and the score is now meaningless to me, what was more important was what was written in the review, and none of it made me not want to buy the game
the game shines on its own merit in other places, just accept this the person reviewing it had a different view
besides, 8.5 is great

I never thought it was reliable since the Zelda TP review. I just come here for the laughs.

:lol:

Sure! Cause this topic isn't R&C history repeating itself all over again (in terms of response of the SW forum users).

If you putR&C where there is ME in the OP this topic is a copy of a topic from two weeks back.

The ME review was a fair review. i only watched the video review though. he said the combat was good but the vehicle movement + combat was bad and that it had alot of bugs. Of course lems are gonna stay calm because the review was fair. But when you have reviews like the identity crisis or the huge contradictory MP3 review then thats another story.

Hey TC big deal it flopped. It still seems like a great game. If it makes you feel better think of it this way the 360 flopped game still a better game then Uncharted. 8.5>8.0

So let me get this correct. A ps3 game flops all 360 fanboys make a thread about it attacking the ps3. A 360 game flops, 360 fanboys make a thread crying about it, and saying that GS is not to be trusted with game scores. While when it flops on the ps3, is all "oh, thats the correct score", "hahahaha ps3 has no AAA yet". But if a game that yous thought would not flop, flops you just cry. I think some of yous guys are taking this game scoring thing to the heart. Buy a game because YOU want to play,not of what kind of score it gets.

And supposedly Wii was stuck with the lil kids, but look who are making the threads crying about scores.

Just enjoy whatever system you have, and play the game that you like. Dont play a game cause it got a high, or low score ... its just stupid.

Anyone whos played this game knows: "Its a piece of art"

The universe alone is simply great, complex, "real", the game just sucks you in. I noticed some negative points too, nonetheless MassEffect is 100% better then Assasins Creed wich got a 9.0

If you can overlook the small problems it has, its one heck of a game! (one of the greatest i have ever played).

Too bad many small negativ points sum up more then one big one at GS. Buy it, and have fun with one of the best games ever made. Really!

P.S. In my opinion gamespot is overrating multiplayer games somehow, perhaps MP is more fun to them, who knows.

P.P.S. Where the hell is the weak combat? Its a great system and fits into the game perfectly. In the Bioshock review those "power" were hyped revolutionary gameplay. Here its weak? Too bad most cows calling ME a flop now havent even had a look at it.

I don't see why not. Reviews are supposed to give you an idea if you want to buy the game or not. Gamespot gave this game a very high score and highly recommended you buy it. They may not have given it quite as high of a score as some other places, but its still in the "go buy this game now" range. I don't see the problem?

If you want a review that actually is questionably reliable, look at the Fire Emblem review. Nevermind the Twilight Princess, Mass Effect and Metroid Prime 3 reviews that still gave the games a very high recommendationz, hell even nevermind the Ratchet review that still said the game was good but might not appeal to those outside the fanbase; The Fire Emblem review says the game for the most part just isn't worth the purchase, yet it's still a great game to play. Questionable indeed!

they gave it a good score. In fact it got a GREAT score. 8.5 is a great score. It got 9.4, 9, 9.5, on other sites. Not everyone has the same opinion of a game. They are all different. But if ME has a low score of 8.5 that is GREAT. Y'all act like the game was "Lair'd" Its not like they trashed the game. They just didn't think it deserved a 9. Probably because of the technical issues because everything else was all praise. So what it flopped on GS. That doesn't mean its a bad game or GS doesn't know anything. I have no problem with their score.

I'm a lemming and I accept the fact that Mass Effect got an 8.5. I also accept the fact that Rachet and Crank got a 7.5. Gamespot is not biased.
