Ummm.. It pretty much was a shooter to begin with. I don't know what you are talking about.

o god, i hate that developers are changing everything around. they all want money so they think that they changing the game to a shooter it will sell. i'm getting a bit tired of playing shooters, especially FPS. we need more genres of games. i just hope that bioware doesn't change the game to much.

People are downplaying what VideoGameGuy is saying. Have any of you thought that maybe, just maybe the fact that Bioware is putting so much emphasis into improving combat might compromise other aspects of the game...like ACTUAL role-playing? It's fine if Bioware wants to tweak and improve the way weapons are handled. But for there to be a whole article about it making it seem like it is one of Bioware's primary focuses is disturbing to me. I'd like a bunch of new RPG elements in the game also. Are those going to be neglected because Bioware is so concerned about completely revamping the weapons system?

lol there wasnt much to downgrade in the first place... who cares if they make the shooter parts more fun, as long as the RPG lite parts are still in!

i think it will be just be like the original mass effect. If they took out the rpg elements it will be inferior to the first and be a different type of game.

The title is misleading, and people here are being melodramatic. Mass Effect has always wanted to be a "Shooter RPG," the are just trying to improve the shooter part. Whats so bad about that?

Well what the **** do you want? Turn based combat? Cause i don't!AAllxxjjnn
Agreed. That's why I love Bioware. Jade Empire was one of my favorite titles last gen. My turn off to JRPG's is from a history with them and turn based combat. I am the only member of my gaming friends who didn't like FF7. Give me western, action rpg's anyday.

I think some of you need to learn the definition of Roleplaying.

enygma500

in the gaming world roleplaying genrally means the game is going to tell a long and in depth story.

And ME1 didn't?

Obviously not. They are just getting rid of the identity crisis, and strengthening the shooting aspect. But they are not getting rid of the RPG aspect, it is BioWare. They would not do that, they will keep it just as strong, and upgrade it beyond what it was in Mass Effect. I have all the faith in the world in them. Anyone who believes they will ruin it, are complete idiots as far as I am concerned.

Making the controls better won't kill the RPG elements. Go play the first one and come back with a mind.

Nowhere did it say they're going to dumb it down for the shooter crowd, just amplify the action. Who said they can't still retain that RPG feel to it? I trust they will, as the action in Mass Effect was quite bland.
