im kinda confused about mass effect...

i dont get it is it like kotor where u direct your character to attack, or like a shooter do u actually press a trigger to shoot?

mass effect looks sweet, cant wait for this shooter rpg

From what I've seen it's real-time shooter type fighting, so it's different than KotOR in that way. THat's the impression I got, at least.

hello?

do u actually shoot the gun like in gears?, i liked kotor but it got to me that i couldnt shoot the enemy down, i had to DIRECT my characters to kill the monster/person/thing

That's RPG to you but to answer your question, I truly believe that it's a half shooter where you have to shoot otherwhise there wouldn't be an aiming cursor and wouldn't be in a view like Gears of war is.

EDIT: Seems like it has a lock-on system. It's still more like an RPG. Guess the devs didn't want you to spend your time on aiming when you got other things to doing special moves or something.

Second half of this video will give you some idea, the combat system is extremely flexible.
