Mass Effect should have got a 7.0

--for its horrible A.I.--

if your looking down a hallway with enemys on the other side, i put the little arrow down the hallway to my team can go kill who ever is down there, but no. they dont for some unknown reason they cant move down a hallway, they dont say why they cant but they just dont move. :|

running though a level with a bunch of doors, they get stuck behind doors, the door wont open for them, so i have to go back and get them.

they hardly ever use thier special skills on enemys.

when shooting an enemy whos behind a box or a wall...thier leg/arm is basically poping out in view, and i can shoot thier leg/arm until they die, they dont even realise thier being shot and run away.

durring some boss fight or some special geth soldier, my team stands out in the open instead of taking cover.

--for its the devs lazyness of armor/weapon models--

theres about 2 differnt sniper gun models or assult gun models.

you have about 6+ differnt pistols/shotguns/assult rifles ect... thats the same weapon model but the only difference is the gun color. so for example you have a 60damage,100damage, 140damage, 166damage, 180 damage gun... and the only differnce is one is all red, one is all black, one has a red stripe, one has a blue stripe...but thier all the same gun model.

--and for the horrible data streaming--

you open your character skill screen and the textures are N64...10secondes later its the normal graphics. this happends with in game movies, when getting out of your vehicle, when moving to a new area, or room. it ruins the feeling of the game when textures look like nintendo64 for 10seconds and then finnaly the right textures load.

have you played it ? no

are you wrong ? yes

quick call the care brigade!

atleast play the game

have you played it ? no

Yeah, I don't care what the gun looks like, for one, just what it does to the other guy.

PS: No...just no man. You have no idea what you're talking about.

Lol, who would go through the effort to create a new account just to post this?!?!

Someone with entirely too much time on his hands.

Kind of sad.

Coming from a LVL 1 with 1 post, Hmm, I wonder if this guy wants to make the 360 look bad?

I wonder if this guy will list his Tag?

Hmm, probaby not.

wow like 90% of the replys are calling me a lier. does it hurt that bad when someone brings up the bad parts of mass effect?CytrusNatural

whats your gamertag ill send you a freinds request

wow like 90% of the replys are calling me a lier. does it hurt that bad when someone brings up the bad parts of mass effect?CytrusNatural

maybe your post would be more credible if your account wouldnt been made some minutes ago and have more than 3 posts?

cows are so pathetic

Yeah, the AI could use some work but you can override them by giving them commands with the D-pad. I found it best to always move them behind something and they'll stay put and take cover. Also, unless you gave the option at the beginning before starting a new game, that the AI can use powers themselves, then you have to issue the commandsyourself.

Mass Effect is definitely not a perfect game but the reason we're very forgiving is because of its scope. However, we wont be as forgiving towards BioWare if the same flaws are found in Mass Effect 2.

I think the A.I is a bit of a game breaker. I'm a Sentinel (so I don't know if that counts or not), but damn would my squad just die in freak accidents because they're incredibly retarded. And you can guess what circle of Hell I went through facing Benezia at Noveria :evil:FrozenLiquid

I think it would've been best if you played as a Vanguard. I heard being a Sentinel is a bit broken. However, if you're a sentinel then you must have squad members that are soldiers or something more aggressive, since you'll be the one with Electronics and biotic powers. I think the best squad mates to have as a Sentinel are: Ashley and Wrex...Dont play with Kaiden since he too is a sentinel, or Tali.

EDIT: Also, dont forget to equip them with better armor and weapons often. Also, remember that weapons and ammo upgrades are essential and not a gimmick. When you play against Geth or other Synthetics, use "Tungsten rounds"...You can kill them VERY easily...Same with "Shredder rounds" for Flesh creatures.

I think that would be far too low. However, I really dislike the game so far. Nothing is really snagging the way I wanted it to. :(

A 7.0 why not lower?DaysAirlines

I say 5.0. One extra point because the topography of Earth's moon was not reproduced accurately and another point because the ladies in Chora's Den were clothed.

yes, it flopped. i think it flopped enough. if it flopped any harder than it did, i think the lemming suicides would have been as bad as the sheep TP suicides.

i really suspect this was another game whose review was "influenced" by the marketing division here at gamespot.

I see what you're saying, but you're nitpicking. cecx

Even though I haven't played the game, how is saying the enemy A.I. is bad is nitpicking? It's part of the gameplay and what makes it fun and challenging.

If I think it deserved a 9.0 would I be wrong? It's 9.2 @ Gamerankings...

Whether or not it's over-rated is your opinion...and I'm sorry but if you haven't played it your opinion is a lot less valid than the lems that have.

Also, I honestly haven't seen any Lemmings make new accounts to praise MassEffect...
