It's official: ME2 is nothing more than a dumbed down console shooter.

Its Deus Ex: Invisible Wars all over again! Hurrah!

This brings me to my next question: Does Mass Effect 2 have a cover system?

ME 1 did. It's one of the first things the game teaches you.

I knew it!!! looking at the trailers I knew this game got turned into more of a shooter then a rpg. I could tell. and its a damn shame too. Why bioware? is it the 360 shooter crowd you are marketing this too. Trying to cash in on the Halo and COD trend that the 360 audience loves over RPGs? Lack of PC focus and more console focus is what killed the DEUS EX franchise. The first was a killer game with stats and deep rpg inventory system. the second deus ex was dumbed down and made for the xbox1 crowd instead of the PC gamers and they took out stats and a lot of things that made the original great. From this it seems it may be the case for ME2. Shame. A Shooter RPG doesn't need to play like COD... Look at fallout3 and you will see that. This just saddens me. I hope it's not as bad as TC is saying but, I doubt it based on the trailers.Midnightshade29

This is one of the few times that I agree with you TC.

Seriously. Oblivion scored hella high, yet it's just no good.

ME2, however, will get AAA because it deserves AAA greatness, not overrated mediocrity.

I took a screenshot of this guys game, it's not finished so there isn't a real point of playing it (besides the map editor), but I enjoyed the graphics so I decided to use it as a signature.

Honestly, I was searching for a First Person maze game to fiddle around with but I found that instead.

Also, if you want a actual dungeon crawler just ask.

I called IT i allways said it was more of a shooter then an rpg but it will still be a good game either way

Mass Effect was always console focused. What's with PC gamers always wanting everything to be needlessly complicated anyway? Sometimes simple is better.

You forgot to add in the part where it scored 90%.

" The levels are attractive, but a bit blocky and workman like. Some have inexplicable waist-high barriers that pop out of the ground when combat begins to provide cover. It's so contrived it feels like an in-joke for cover-based shooter players. "

there is just too many ways to play ME for it be called just a regular shooter

I'm still getting it :p

[QUOTE="Jamani"]OLLD and it will still be AAARichardStallman

It scored 90%.....90%! How can anyone possibly try and turn that into a negative thing?

That's nonsense.

I don't get the hate for this game. Do people really want the entire industry to be making nothing but the same 4-6 hours, 40 weapons that all feel the same, no replay value games?

Its the devs similar to bioware that still makes gaming worth the money.

At the end of the day, they're all just opinions. Just take them as it is...opinions.

Kinda off topic but kinda not regarding ME1. Shepard and company stopped Soveirgn from opening the portal for the rest of the reapers to enter through the citadel. So, what is there to fight for now in the sequel? I mean, the reapers are trapped in dark space now, no?

They made a new race called the Collectors which will serve as the bad guys. I don't know much about them yet.

I called it from the start, considering that ME 1 was a bad shooter and a bad RPG. Seems like this time they'll get rid of the RPG and focus on the shooting to appeal console gamers.dont-read-this

As expected, this thread is filled with a bunch of posters who were dead set on hating this game from the start pretending that this laughably segmented review changed them over.

So it seems FFXIII is more an RPG than ME2. Another game thats trying to mimick gears of war. Another generic TPS. For the masses.

Didn't take long for all the ERPG fans to go all out here.

Agreed. I still give them a look, but a high score isn't going to sell me on a game I wasn't already interested in any more...
