Mass Effect 2, Oh Great Another Dialogue Snooze Fest.

yeah this guy is such a fakeboy i cant believe people are taking this seriously. i mean his name is codnut he has 20 posts and is level 3, and he disses the very things that make rpgs great. and we are supposed to take him seriously? im sure you went out and bought the strategy guide and game for DAO when you hated biowares previous rpgs. that makes a lot of sense. go back to playing cod. leave the rpgs alone

You gotta be kidding me. Bioware crafts some of the most natural dialog in gaming. The characters come across as genuine and believable people. Every member in your party (from KOTOR, to Mass Effect, to DAO) feels as though they had a life before you encountered them, and didn't simply spring into existence on the map simply for the benefit of aiding your quest. With Bioware games, the NPCs are people you can actually get to know, and form a connection with.

This fella speaks the truth.

In 2003, if you had asked me who my best friend was, i would have honestly told you HK47. Sad isn't it? But true. That guybot is a legend.

I almost cried when Morrigan left me :( And im normally one of the first people to call such things "gay"

Mass Effect? A snooze fest? :?

Look, i like any kind of RPG's as much as the next guy, but c'mon we all know as talented as Bioware might be at making games, they just have an unfortunate habit of using too much dialogue in there games, to the point that you actually doze off when waiting for a talk scene to end.

Why can't they incorporate more cutscenes to tell there stories, i'm being serious i really loved the look of the first Mass Effect, but when watching my brother in law play through it, before deciding to buy it or not, there was so much friggin' dialogue i literally fell asleep.

Then Dragon Age was coming out and i was really excited about it, so much so that i didn't even wait for reviews, i ran out bought the game and the hardcover strategy guide, but then of course the inevitable happened, all the long winded dialogue of Bioware developers kicked in and i was asleep in no time, now i traded Dragon Age and i'm stuck with a $30 strategy guide.

C'mon Bioware dev's use some more cutscenes to get your story across and minimize the dialogue, that's my opinion anyway.

CODnut

because then it wouldn't be an RPG

[QUOTE="AdobeArtist"]

[QUOTE="kidcool189"]maybe its not that it is a lot of dialogue, more so that it is just uninteresting, boring dialogue

atleast thats how it is for me with a lot of wrpgs, including bioware

HK 47 is one of the most awesome robots of all time. His dialog is priceless.

In HK's wake, who isn't a weak meatbag?

Someone should demand more KOTOR like RPG's from Bioware. They have thousands of years worth of history to play with. Instead we get an MMO, which will probably be amazing, but it's not what i wanted :cry:

That be why Bethesda make the best RPGz

Chuck prays to HK-47 everynight before bed. I've seen it.

As for T3-M4. he had the element of suprise on his side when he tackled Hk aboard the Ebon Hawk, HK-47 had it all figured out. He's like Columbo + MacGyver

Try playing planescape if you think ME2 has alot of dialogue. Or the old school point and click adventures awdxfv

I liked the dialogue in ME. More than the gameplay.

The dialogue is why I like BioWare games in the first place. The more, the better I say.

Hmn sounds like you need a dose of Fallout 1/2... Dont wanna listen to long and boring dialogues? No prob, just put all that int points into strenght and blast their heads off... :D
Thats what made imo Fallout 1/2 the ultimate RPG ever made. You wanna play it guns galore **** Go ahead... Not the violent type? Talk your way trough! :D

I like dialgue. :| I read every line (almost) of dialogue in Draagon Age :P

Personally, I like as few cutscenes as possible. :)

'Tis why I love Half-Life. ^_^

longtonguecat

really? i like cutscenes but not a lot btu im ok with mgs4s cutscenes sure sometimes there tedious but its k i hate when u skip a cutscene and it brings in another one i just wanna fricking skip this whole group of cutscense darn it!

bioware always deliver,even with the dialogue,so it won't be a snooze fest IMO.

Yeh, but some people like a lot of dialogue, clearly it's not for you.racing1750

Ever read a book before ?

And that's the way ahuh-ahuh I like it :D

It's a videogame. I would rather it be the Bioware way, then spamming cutscene, after cutscene after cutscene. What Bioware really needs to do is make sure the RPG mechanics are much better, and that the shooting doesn't suck. It's an Action/RPG Bioware. Get both parts right. jg4xchamp

Mass Effect's dialog is where it shines the most. Sure, each character may respond to you as if you have a freaking documentary crew with you, but at least they actually seem like real people. The combat on the other hand...Not so much.

My favorite characters from ME1 were Joker and Wrex. Joker, for his disabilities not keeping him from accomplishing his goals, and Wrex, for being plain awesome. I loved that Krogan's one-liners. :lol:

Dialogue in a rpg = A great thing.

Fantastic story in a rpg = another great thing.

DIalogue is HUGE for the story in rpgs.

Same here.

I cant believe ppl are complaining about ME´s dialog. Its just amazing

I must be the only one that likes the dialogue :P

I like it with more dialouge. If you want an action packed game go play something else.

I will take interactive, plot moving dialogue sequences over "read me a story" cutscenes any day of the week. I would be incredibly disappointed if Bioware made ME2 without it being dialogue heavy.

Dialogue in games is either done remarkably good, or teribbly bad, Bioware has always had a touch for the former.

Can't wait for Mass effect 2.

Stopped reading when you said you bought the game and a strategy guide for it. I can't take the word of a casual gamer seriously :P

Just kidding... kinda. I don't think you're casual but the strategy guide thing does make me ignore what you have to say. I'd think you'd like all the breaks so that you can flip through your book and let it tell you how to play the game.
