Is it just me or are the videos of mass effect 2 just not appealing.

I saw 4 videos. Saw the combat I just couldn't see it. The combat looked like COD or something. No VATS or cool powers (Everyone just does that zoom electric bash thing so i assume it's the only power)

Sure the story looks great and choices and stuff but the combat looked MEH to me.

Is there something im missing?

There's a lot you are missing quite honestly, I don't know the amount of skills in the game but there are a decent amount, and the combat is amazingly well done, better done than most plain old shooters.

Actually i'm with TC, i just don't get the hype, then again, i'm not into WRPGs in any way, so that's the reason, still i want to try either Fallout 3 or Demon's Souls.

It's not just you, but you are definitely in the minority. Also, there is a stick for ME2

I loved fallout 3 but If fallout didn't have V.A.T.S i wouldn't have bought it. V.A.T.S was the selling point for me. It is what made it more than just a shooter

Nope. All things Mass Effect related go in there until it is unstickied. Might want to check it out, as the Original Post has lots of stuff that could make you more hyped :)

I grew up playing RPGs with this type of combat. So having the face-pace, real time action of Mass Effect is a welcome change.

Also, if YOU are not an RPG player. Then do we really need to hear why you don't like it? Seriously?

I didn't say i didn't like RPGs i was saying that i don't get the combat in this game. I am looking for the selling point rather than Run, shoot, run shoot.

I shall check out that sticky though.

I totally agree, i honestly dont see what the hype of this game is.. Then again i think any game without multiplayer with the exception of a handful of games are a waste of money.

That's how view the game? You're really that type of gamer? Well I guess I'll end this discussion here then.

funny..I seem to remember running,shooting,running,shooting..in Fallout 3 as well...

on second thought, i'll give the game more credit...there was horrible dialogue,as well as piss poor,tacked on black and white choices like blowing up megaton.

Yeah i am. I'm the gamer that asks opinions about the game and see if I can relate to it. Im not the gamer that shells out 60$ on a game I won't touch in 1-2 weeks because i didn't like it.
