Mass Effect has the best combat system in gaming... (the essence of the game)

The much discussed combat system in the game of the year is some of the best gun play /special powers action in gaming...

heres why...

It is wildly imaginative and massively deep.... and user friendly. I have found that their is no greater gaming joy than clearing out a room of troops and having complete control over bolstering shields, weapon selection on the fly, power tossing 4 enemies clear accross the bunker, and using biotics to overload their weapons when me and my crew come busting through the door...

Everytime I waste a group of enemies with the pressicion of a surgeon using any and all of my six member crew it reminds me of the real evolution of Mass Effect... Involvement... so the days of "Master Flury" are over KOTOR fans... So the days of bringing the same characters along everywhere you go.... BioWare's true achievment is involvment of everything in game, not just for stat bolstering but to add to the masterpiece that is, Mass Effect...

for Cedmin..... This quality of combat is only achived currantly on your friendly neighborhood XBOX360...

Ok so this translate into the 360 being better than the PC how?

Oh yeah. PC doesn't have Mass Effect.

There. Now there is a point to this thread for system wars.

Confused about your PC comment?

Where does he mention PC?

The combat system is good for a RPG with guns. But it needs a little tidying up and it is towards the end to easy while at the beginning very hard.

What I don't like is that weapon menu stops the gameplay. In one of the vids I saw, the guy brought out the menu like 15 times in one min.m_machine024

if you actually have played the game, which obviously you havent, youd be grateful to be able to do that in some of the battles, especially on the higher difficulties.

he may be referring to the five minute cutscenes and cgi crap every 10 minutes or less in every final fantasy game

What I meant was that Mass Effects whole game, dialogiue as well as the real time combat system is better than COD4 set piece gameplay, which is all it is. One set piece moment after the other i.e. scripted linear sequences. Also the computer AI is cheap, not so much intelligence as omniscience.

exactly... its part of the experience... and when you get the hang of it... switching and manipulating the battles to your liking is quick... well done BioWare...

I don't think Hoobinator knows what the Infinity Engine is and thinks I am reffering to Infinity Ward, the makers of Call of Duty 4, so you see you should trust his RPG advice because clearly he knows so much about them /sacasm

Anyways dosen't ME have not-so-amazing AI and absolutly lacks great scripted moments, great enemies and well placed (not scripted) situations?

When do you think you guys will see The Witcher and Neverwinter Nights 2: Mask of the Betrayer?

My brother is having a hard time with it. Even though I haven't played it myself yet I keep asking him why he never uses the cover mechanic, squad tactics or the action wheel.

Although he's not the most skilled gamer anyway, he just sticks to the basics and hopes for the best.

Infinity engine as in Baldurs Gate 2? I think Hoobinator doesn't know much about RPG's too.

Also, I dont know what vid you saw, but I rarely had to pull up that screen anywhere near that many times in a single round of combat. A few times, I may have come close, but you will have times you NEED to recharge your shields, etc. etc. But anywhere close to that number is very, very rare.

The AI is pretty good for the most part. As far as the rest of the question.... are you kidding? This story is unmatched! And it wouldnt be, without villains that live up to their parts! It sounds like you really need to try out this game!

Click the "Adept combat HD" one. I'm not trying to troll and stuff. Just judging on what I saw. I suppose it depends on the player. Oh and I exaggerated a little.:P

Yeah, I think I puked a little in my mouth when I read, "absolutly lacks great scripted moment" whoever told you that clearly has never played this game... It's a shame that such false information could've made it to your ears... whats more intriguing is that you believed it...

Mass Effect has one of the worst combat systems I've ever played. All I need to do is use overkill and I can take out a tank with a freaking gun.Sparky04

Please... the combat is deep engaging and complete... the best part is that all classes and characters are equally awesome...
