Mass Effect is stinking for me

Like your name states, who cares...zayas_81

Anyone know the policy for gamecrazy on returns? The back of the receipt prin is really faded. I just bought the game and am completely dissapointed with it. I was at the store for half an hour trying to decide between this game and uncharted. I went with Mass Effect. After playing it for over 2 hours I almost fell asleep playing it. It is one of the most boring games I have ever played...it could use a freaking soun track in the back ground when people are conversing or something. I couldn't keep my eyes opened. I traded some games in and added 40 bucks to buy it and feel horrible right now for buying this game. will they refund for an open item if I go in within two days? The combat in this game is horrible as well. If you like this stuff than no offense but i was wondering if anyone knew if I could just return it...maybe just choose something else in the store?whocares9

whocares9, no one ****ing cares. LMAO, your reasons for not liking the game are you were sleepy, it is boring, and the combat sucks...Way to back up your opinion with facts. Thanks for playing or rather please quit gaming.

I don't hate the game, I am just going to go by the store and see right now. Thanks for the replies. I thought the character design is superb in the game and so far the story was decent. I just kept yawing and wanting to play something else when I was playing this. I hope I don't have to trade it in...I might than have to keep it...I would lose nearly 50% of the money :(whocares9

huh? ok Mr.fanboy, I am sorry I upset your feelings..but what do I need facts for? If you ever found a game to bore you and make you want to sleep..would you continue to play it? I think my mistake was posting this on system wars ...oops.

His thoughts on the games has to be based off facts?

Yeah, why the hell would we care about your problems with gamecrazy? This is a place to discuss about the current console war. I suppose in your 4723 posts you failed to realize this so I'll go easy on you, go somewhere else with your tripe. Would you be interested if I came on here and posted about how Blockbuster didn't have Mass Effect to rent? Answer the question before you start wasting more of my time.

If it's not your kind of game, than it's not your kind of game. I can see someone that always needs to be firing a gun in their games getting bored of ME.TheGTAvaccine

Thanks, I don't need to be firing a gun all the time. I found some of the RPG elemts great...I just found running around those plain looking space stations kind of boring.

You think the Citadel is plain looking? Are you serious? I bought a 360 just for this game and boy am I impressed about how amazing it is.

Man, I wish that was my feeling. Maybe I wouldn't be sitting here with that "I got shafted" feeling in my gut. I am seriously considering take the loss of 30 bucks and trading it in already. Just seams so unwise on my part and I feel stupid that I didn't rent it first. I notice the frame rate loss in this game like crazy and the citdal extactly where the "keepers" are...the things that look like grasshoppers is such a boring and plain looking place...and I can't talk to everybody...not that I would want to but I guess it would add some realism. Also shaperd looks like a pansy the way he runs...no offense to anyone that runs like that lol.

I am guessing the TC never played KOTOR...

its a story driven RPG unless you like alot of dialog and character interaction you prob wont like this game...way to do some research before you throw down $60

Trade it in and get Uncharted.DaysAirlines

Yeah, I found the impaling of people onto spikes that cybanetically change them, boring too :roll:

I too have only played for a few hours and there is a lot of dialogue, but you would expect that since you are being introduced to a new Universe. Or would you rather play for 10 hours before you knew you place in this new universe?

A big problem with it for me are the stupidly large landscapes nearly empty on planets that you can explore.

They have little importance and are big wastes of disk space.

And yes . I have the game. Which is most of you who know me havenn't seen me in a while.

This reply will be made into a new thread to further get my point out to more people considering the purchase.

HA-HA-HA, oh man this post is a coincidence, i used to have a 360 Elite up until about 3 weeks ago, and i was waiting for this game forever like everyone else, well my brother-in law, who lives right down the street picked it up on launch day and he saw me on Thanksgiving and he couldn't stop telling me how great the game is so much so that i even recommended it to my friend before i even saw or played it, and i'm going to be getting a Wii in a few days but he actually had me second guessing that.

So i goto his house today to finally see Mass Effect, now he was about 2 hours into the game and i saw it from this point where he was in a small gunfight and he had to disarm like 4 bombs, and these moronic enemies have the worst A.I. i ever saw their actually running right up to you and your men just to get blasted, not to mention my brother in law is the worst player at 1st & 3rd person shooters you ever saw, he just has no coordination in the 3-D world and yet he was picking off these enemies without losing an ounce of health, i mean c'mon these little shoot outs were so pathetically easy.

Then it goes into a cutscene and then he and his crew are flying in their ship to an even larger ship and then the snooze fest begins, he starts exploring this whole area and having all these long drawn out conversations with people and i finally asked him, do you have to talk to all these people, and he said yeah it helps add to your experience points.

So before you know it, it's been over an hour since he arrived on this ship and that 3 minute gunfight and when we finally shut it off to goto dinner he was still on the ship talking to people when we shut it off, it was then i knew that the only game i missed out on since i traded my 360 Elite was Call of Duty 4 and i didn't even miss out on it because he got that on launch day too and i've played it like 4 times already.

I myself already had and beat such 360 titles like Gears of war, Oblivion, Crackdown, Bioshock, Call of Duty 2 & 3, The Orange Box, Halo 3, so it was then i realized i wasn't missing anything and the Wii and Super Mario Galaxy were looking better and better.

I even tried to call my friend to tell him not to buy Mass Effect after all but it was too late, infact he had just gotten to the part with the big ship where the real boredom was about to begin, so he is now returning it tomorrow and switching it for Bioshock per my recommendation.

You are right, I never played KOTOR. I do feel dumb for being so quick to get this game. I just heard so much about it.

LOL no I think we all figured out in the other thread why you don't like it.. LOL couldn't figure out what weapon your guy could use..

Squad menu FTW...So easy a "Cave Man" could do it :D

Whocares9 please stop bashing Mass Effect, this thread clearly shows you have no grasp of the game's mechanics, the most glaring evidence being you didn't know what weapons your character could and could not train with (the Vanguard character cannot train with either ARs or SRs). You also obviously do not understand the RPG elements, seeing as how you expect your character to have perfect aim from the first minute. Next time do some reseach or even better, read the manual. PBSnipes

Could the fact that the game have this complete reliance on statistics be reason enough for someone out there like me to not like it? I thought it was an RPG driven with SHOOTER mechancis. Not just completely an RPG.

really,I just got the game today and I think its one of the best rpgs ive played.Not for everyone I guess though

I have a question fellow gamespotters.. I returned my copy of mass effect and they could only give me 30 back for it, I only played it once and it was in good condition. Im very pissed and would like answersxSiKsHoT

Ill give the game another shot, I can't return it tonight because it is closed. So I am restarting as a soldier and will pay more attention to the menu. I did find the menu you are talking about and even changed the armor...I just didn't care much for any of the shooting in the game.

I agree with you. Those planets are tedious and are unneeded.

Dude, those 4 bombs to defuse right before you get to the artifact things where he gets the vision or whatever. yea, that is EXACTLY the same experience I got from the game. That citedal part is so boring..than you get some lame tool to touch each "keeper" or something like that...now I am forced to run around that boring place with really long elevator ride. I am in your boat and I am glad I am not the only one who thinks this game is oddly below average.

It gets much much better about 1/3 of the way in.. And the weapons you have to keep an eye on...The stats on the upgrades.. help alot.. Anyways the game has a ton of depth .. if you just want a shootrer this game is not for you.. If you want a real in depth RPG with shooter elements.. Mass Effect delivers.... Ranks up there with gears of war for me..

Oh...my god...dude, the keepers quest is a SIDE quest. Have you ever played an RPG before? Or for that matter are you literate?
