Reading that part about the Thorian makes me think he doesn't know what he's doing. I had no trouble taking out the Asari nor the creepers. The only time it becomes difficult at that part is if you let them overrun you, which was the only time I managed to overheat my assault rifle at that point in the game.

Maybe he picked Biotic but think he could still use Shotguns and Assault Rifle, He probably never upgrades the weapons or armor.

Yeah. It's kind of sad. I understand his points but the tone of the article completely undermines the issue.

Mass Effect is somewhat disappointing given it's technical issues but it's still a fantastic game. It's too bad he let those issues get the best of him.

No different from a guy crying about how Sony lied to them in 2005, and missing out on a great system they created.

Congratulations, a japanese nobody does not like mass effect. I don't know what your motive is (trolling or just hate for the game), but i actually really liked mass effect. It had minor flaws, but what game does not?

Dean takashi..alot of ppl know him. he is the guy who sent back the "HALO PACKAGE" back to microsoft..its the promotional package which every reviewer recieved for Halo 3 release..but he said it is "BRIBE"and i wont loose my honor and send it back xD..he has posted a news article about why mass effect or as he sayd MASS DEFECT fails..

here is a line of what he says in the article:

" the game play is maddeningly flawed. Call it Mass Defect."

he also has some "STUPID(s)" by number 1-2-3 and so on

"You never run out of ammo. But you're always shooting these solid mass bullets at the enemy. Every guns sounds and fires and behaves the same, whether it's a shotgun or an assault rifle. Stupid. Then, when you're shooting at a target, an orange box appears as the one and only place on that target where you can actually hit them with a mass bullet. That's not even close to realistic, and counts as stupid No. 2. Then you can't even tell if you've hit your target because your target just keeps coming at you or does not even flinch upon impact, whether their shields are up or down. That's stupid no. 3."

and he keeps going and going on...

FULL ARTICLE

"he also has this pic with his article i think he is pointing out to it..but i didnt read it al..i dunnol"

kirk4ever

umm the book dexcribes how they never run out of bullets.... generates its own... it just overheats... stupid idiot.

he's just mad because it's better than any jrpg out.

Like it or not, Mass Effect does have framerate problems and some bad glitches in the game. I'm not talking about minor glitches here and there. There are glitches that have been found that can get your character STUCK PERMANENTLY in the terrain if you saved while you were stuck. Now, the simple solution is...don't save if you get stuck. But these glitches shouldn't be here anyway. The game is very good, but it could have used 1 more year in the cooker.

i played this game for 11 hours now. and allthough i think it has some great qualities, i have to agree, and there are a lot of issues i have with he game myself. i was surprised that there were so many things that would bother me in this game:

- loading times at the strangest moments

- converstaion choices that are basicly the same... (don't give us a choice if it's all the same outcome...)

- The promise of exploration soon becomes empty when you can only land on a couple of planets, and most of them are restricted small areas on an empty wasted rockland ...

- Graphics are very inconsistend. some fases and textures look awfull. (some times the game is breathtakingly beautifull though)

- insane texture pop-in delay... sometimes TEN seconds..

- framerate issues

- Guns sound the same and appear to have no impact.. - a shotgun sounds a lot different than an assault rifle. especially when it's all modded up.

- you can use some guns, but you are not able to hitt anything with it cause you're not trained.. (then don't let me use it...)

they give you the choice... what's the matter with that?

- Partners are completely retarded (though slightly better than the retards in Halo3...)

I guess i will finisg it, cause it has a lot of interesting aspects too.. but it could very well be that i rather play another game after 16 hours or so.. but i'm still giving it a chance

Always-Honest

bottom line.. even though it has some flaws it's still the best game ever made.

Except the guy Heterix is refering to is someone who supposedly reviews games professionally (?) not a fanboy on a forum ... I assume you realise the 2 should be held to very different standards.

Oh, Ok. But really, it is different. here is a guy that has a job covering videogames for a paper, he's supposed to be a professional, He's even written a couple of well received books on the industry. He wrote here what is basically a temper tantrum full of inaccuracies..He's supposed to be above this sort of thing. He didn't even finish the game.

Yea, some one should go tell him that Mass Effect isnt a shooter.

I haven't seen another RPG with a combat system as involving as Mass Effect's. It sure beats turn based battles, hack and slash or endlessly clicking on enemies.

And oh yeah, the game isnt too hard to finish, and the Thorian battleis really easy. All you do is you use lift/throw on the Asari for an insta kill. And the creepers are even easier to kill. 1 shotgun blast and they fall down. Then your team can mop them up
