Mass Effect 2 definitely ONE OF THE MOST OVERRATED GAME in gaming history

well, as far as sequels go, i felt it was vastly superior to ME1, whereas MGS4 was a great game, but nowhere near being on the same pedestal as MGS3. opinions, opinions...

Somebody got mad at the other thread....

I personally thought the game was great. The only problem I had was the combat got a little bit rinse and repeat towards the end. Otherwise, I enjoyed it a lot. I believe it deserved its score.

Edit: Oh, and "how the hell can this game scored 96 on metacritic?" is not grammatically correct. At all. Grammar police :P

Aren't you the same guy that gave ME2 a 1/10 and then you removed it?

I couldn't disagree more! :D

If you're referring to review scores, the fact that MW2 is only a few points behind ME2 on aggregate sites is much more of a travesty than the praise Mass 2 gets.

I don't want to write a counter-argument to all that, so I'll link you to My Review. That's why I think it's a good game.

nah ME 2 deserved it's score. now if we are talking MGS4, that puppy is DEFINITELY overrated. the idea of it receiving a 10 is laughable.

Just as for you to know, I'd never say Mass Effect 2 is a bad game, in fact I love it and I think it deserved a AAA score..ihsanqueen

Bad grammar aside, how does it make sense that it's the most overrated game in gaming, but you still love it and think it deserves AAA? Conflicting stances much?

anyone else lost interest when the TC started comparing mass effect 2 with JRPGs?

lawlessx

I lost intrest when he said it was overrated

It's really not that conflicting...

Yeh i agree with combat. The gunplay and maneuvering around the field felt super weak. Also the level design was poor. Characters barely interacted with each other as well, they only interacted with Shepard, it felt disjointed, like you weren't really a team.AAllxxjjnn

Well... you can tell this thread is pretty much in response to ME2 being the most compelling game in 2010 or w.e. I assumed he was referring to the peeps rating ME2 as the best game out in 2010 so far.. I thought ME2 was a great game and I think it was scored fairly, but I do believe some people overrate the game...

The level design was poor? wtf? please justify?

Same here! ... but its late and I don't feel like arguing. So have this emoticon -> :x

I agree it's not the 2nd coming of crhist like some people feel it is.jg4xchamp

It sort of felt like that for me... replaying it furthers such impressions. It has its flaws, like Mass Effect, but overall its amazing... although I am admittedly a tad pro-Mass Effect biased.

he's obviously biased, there really is nothing more to see here.

the only way the game wouldn't have been overated in his eyes is if it were on his system of preference.

Probably my favorite game of the last few years (maybe since GTA4) so....no, id say your vastly underrating it, everyone else is right.

[QUOTE="Vaasman"]lol The game scored AAA and he thinks it deserved AAA, yet it's the most overrated game ever. How is that not conflicting?

What? Inferior as far as the number of extra things to do. I'll agree with that, but that's canceled out by the vastly improved shooting mechanics and the fact that they fixed several awkward amd frustrating design quirks of the earlier titles.

GTAIV is superior in all the ways that truly matter, which is why it got 10s.

Nice to see my point of view is appreciated. There are people who would have torn into that post. :)

[QUOTE="GreySeal9"]

[QUOTE="Vaasman"]and so it's the most overrated game of all time? No, the most overrated game of all time is Fable 2, which I don't even think deserves a 6 and got 8's and 9's, or GTA4 which is inferior in many ways to other GTA games but got 10's from almost every website. That's overrated. Calling a game the most overrated, because it scored what you think it should have, is just bogus.

I like how the originial discussion sprials into something random and wrong comparisons.

When did I compare GTAIV to Mass Effect 2? I'm comparing it to earlier GTA games.

Also, the cover system does need some definite refining for the next title, but it is hardly crap and it really does improve the shooting aspect of the GTA experience.

[QUOTE="psn8214"]

[QUOTE="jg4xchamp"] which is why i would never call a game overrated. I just don't agree with the 2nd coming of christ. I actually loved Mass Effect 2, it' was an addicting and engrossing experience to be honest. Easily my favorite Bioware game...well maybe I don't know. Haven't played Baldurs Gate 2 in years, but I do know that I like it way more than KOTOR, Dragonage, mass effect, and Jade empire. jg4xchamp

Yeah, debates based on opinions and subjectivities never pan out well. You can go read through my Avatar thread again for proof... >_>

Which again, I'm not against someone arguing why they didn't like Avatar. I personally agreed with some of the critiques of the movie. The daily complaining about the love the movie was getting got old. I mean, admit it's probably doing something right and move on. At the same time the "I loved this game SOOOOOOOOOOOOO MUCH" can also be rather um annoying in a different way :P. jg4xchamp

Yeah it can be... *note to self: don't praise ME2 as second coming anymore* ... actually I exxagerated. My love for ME2 is no way near as blatant as Avatar.

TC actually did some reasonable explaining to why he thinks it's over rated unlike 90% of the of the topics made on SW. I'm not agreeing with him though. I still haven't played Mass Effect 2. I'm trying to get my roommates or my friend to buy it, so I can play it, lol. Besides, I also still have Dragon Age (which is great) to beat and FFXIII to buy. Maybe Mass Effect 2 will be best for last?
