Mass Effect 2 is a decent third person shooter.

Whatever the hell it is, it's amazing at it. Haters gonna hate.. And be the minority.

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

More like haters struggling to disprove that ME2 is an RPG. And failing at disqualifying it because they never support their claims with any substantial fact or even half decent logic.

Every journalist recognizes it as an RPG. Every reviewer knows this. Every publication. Every media outlet which actually stakes their reputation and name on what they report, which holds far more weight than faceless entity who hides behind anonymoty when they cry their damage control.

because lord knows it aint an RPG.

Disagree - no shooter will ever have a storyline as great as a WRPG does, so Mass Effect is a WRPG.

Don't get me wrong Ive played and beaten the game, and i like it, but my main problem is the streamlining the game got from me1 to me2, for me me1 was so much better than me2 because the "rpg" parts and "story" parts were better IMO, for other gamers me2 was better because the "shooting" parts were better, that shows which genre you are more intrested in IMO.

I also fear that bioware are hearing all this overwhelming praise me2 is getting and thinks its an approval to go even further with streamlinnig there games, so don't think I'm hating on me2, i say this because i like the series, and i don't want it to be ruined.

Shake, your Sara Carter sigs just keep on improving. I know it's from DOA, but that avatar you had before the one that was your previous sig - which movie is that from?

[QUOTE="Master_ShakeXXX"] Technically MGS4 could be considered a shooter, so that statement isn't 100% true :Pspookykid143

This topic is as original as 90% of FPS games.

You missed the point.

It's every credible and reputable media outlet who are actually able to articulate on the game with substantiated facts, that support ME2 as an RPG.

vs

a bunch of anonymous whiners who make a claim yet can't back it up with any meaningful criteria

-

And nice how you missed my first paragraph, because it supports the media factor. They don't "make" ME2 an RPG by just saying so. They report it as an RPG, which coincides with all the facts, so the conslusion becomes reasily obvious.

What do the whiners do, besides make empty blanket statements? Nothing else, because they can't support what they say. If anything it's them who try to not make ME2 an RPG by "just saying so". At least the media makes their articles from an informed perspective.
