Mass Effect hasn't really had good gameplay to begin with. Always average. But it's about the story not the gameplay

I guess since it won RPG of the year, and a well deserved win at that, there's no end to the damage control threads we'll see.

Ah what a feast of tears this will be :)

Who plays RPGs anyways?! ME2 is a great game, but that is a matter of opinion, so I'm interested to see what he is comparing it to?What other games are considered decent in his terms, or which kinda games are better in the TC's eyes. Last time I heard decent third person shooters don't win a kinds of awards, and are critically acclaimed. Maybe just not his cup of tea.

So you can't pigeonhole it into a specific category. Big deal. It's a great game.

It doesn't fall neatly into a category, so it obviously sucks. Learn to System Wars, ME2 supporters.

I agree, I don't see why the ME2 fanboys are so quick to prove it's a RPG when it clearly isn't.

I love the game and just dont give a s**t what genre it falls in to. Dont see why anyone should care, TPS, RPG, hell Alien Sex Porn just play it, its probably one of the best games of this generation.

True. It's like some people are quick to trash it for not being a full RPG or something. When comparing it to the latest release of Final Fantasy, I will take ME2 any day!

I don't care what it is, still the best game I've played this gen! Now can we stop with these pointless topics? It's been argued enough over the past year.

Yep there aren't enough stat squares to fill in on the stats screen clearly it's not an RPG when the way the story is structured is nearly identical to KOTOR.

Well it's certainly not broken, but it lacks the fluidity in movement and control to be considered anything special. Decent probably would be the best way to describe it.

the problem with calling ME2 an rpg is that a lot of rpg fans are not necessarily into TPSs, so no matter how good ofa TPSit is, it will not appeal to a lot of rpg fanswho buy the game expecting more.

That's the problem, you can turn Mario into the best first person shooter ever but don't expect platforming fans will like it.

I see no problem, but whatever you want to believe. It's up to the consumer to know what he.she is buying. That comparison is well... :?. These forums always AMAZE me.

Also, ME2 is an action RPG. The RPG elements are light but there are enough to still consider it one in my opinion.

What I'msaying is that it is somewhat important how you "classify" the game, not everybody is a fan of certain genres no matter how great the game is. and about the comparison, i just wanted TPS fans to understand where the rpg fans are coming from,it might not have been thebest comparison:)

Well I hate to break it to you, but it is an Action RPG, they should know what the game offers before said gamers buy it.
