So, is it safe to say Mass Effect 2 is the most compelling game of 2010 so far?

It's the best game I have ever played, so yes, it is.

Nah, Im a bioware fan, and it was well done. But, the ending just didn't feel like it accomplished all that much. It definetly was an major improvement over the first one though.

I didn't like the game.

I have no clue where you people are pulling words like flawless from.

It was just so boring. Go to this planet, find another squad mate, repeat until you get all of them and then finish the rest of the game in 3 hours.

Characters were annoying and I couldn't care less for any of them.

It wasn't a bad game, just no way was it AAA worthy. 7.5 in my eyes.

no because i have not been compelled to buy it

Well, I've played a lot of amazing games this year so far. I must say, though Heavy Rain, GoW 3, and FF13 were AMAZING, Mass Effect 2 had the most compelling impact on me. I mean, everything abou that game was almost flawless.....

Agree, disagree?

In my opinion? Yep.

I enjoyed Heavy Rain more. ME2 was a stellar game, but HR just did for me is all.

True, Heavy Rain was VERY gripping. Everything was just so dramatic and well done. If it wasn't soo short (mainly because I couldn't put it down), then I'd say it's my goty up to this point.

What's with all of the ME 2 threads today? Didn't it come out in January?

Well, I remember playing Prince of Persia in my DOS and typing some things before launch it so I could jump to the last level.

[QUOTE="Wings_008"]i haven't played ME2 just yet (i bought it online and it's on way) but ME was amazing to say the least and it won't be an exaggeration to say that it is the best game so far in this year and it's hell of a lot better than GOW3 imojalexbrown

Shallow TPS? 3rd person shooters are basically shallow anyway, so adding a dialog and leveling system with rpg lite elements make it more complex. That complaint is completely invalid.

[QUOTE="Wings_008"][QUOTE="jalexbrown"] If you can look over the massive amount of glitches, Mako portions, shallow RPG elements, and likewise shallow TPS elements, then yes...Mass Effect was "amazing".heretrix

As much as I loved ME 2, I'd have to say that Heavy Rain, AS A GAME, was more compelling to me. While it didn't change my mind about QTE's (I still hate them) It actually made them more playable. I actually had fun doing some of them, while others made me want to punch David Cage in the face (the butterfly trial). All in all though they were well done and made total sense when they came up (which was every minute or so, lol) I hesitate to even call them QTE's because they were implemented into the gameplay so well.

so it seems people have already forgotten bayonetta. maybe it was too awesome and your memories selectively deleted it for your own protection or something.

This thread is basicly ps3 vs xbox360.

I have to say GOW3,ME2 and Heavy Rain are pretty much the best i've played so far this year.FFXIII was really disappointing.

Yes, but this is considering that my PS3 broke.

So, that is the only story based game I have been able to play. :|

I'm sick of hearing about ME2 for pete's sake. :x

It's no longer safe to say the Mass Effect is Game of the Year.

Heavy Rain has a bigger chance at getting the title.

I think it'll have a better chance because Heavy Rain has more than one ending (a lot more than 2 or 3.), a New Motion type of gameplay, Facial Expression and movement close to actual human expressions and movement.

Yes, easily. And it's not even close. I've played the others, GOW3, Bayonetta, Heavy Rain, and ME2 is by far the best.

To me, Mass Effect 2 is the RPG of the generation, and hell, even the Game of the Generation.

[QUOTE="texasgoldrush"]Heavy Rain sucks..........at first glance, yeah it looks great. Then you see all the plot holes and logic problems in the plot, especially with that god awful plot twist. if the game was a movie, it would have been laughed out of the film festival. Add terrible voice acting into the mix. FFXIII is the worst FF main series game and does not deserve to even be said in the same sentence as ME2 God of War III is all style no substance, meaning no GOTY. Really it will be between ME2, Red Dead Redemption, Fallout New Vegas. Last Guardian, and Alan Wake.jasonharris48

I am a little behind on my games so I have only played a few titles released in 2010 so I won't say definite yes or no. Me2 was great but nowhere near flawless. The pacing of the story was too slow and the level design was immersion breaking (chest high walls anyone).

[QUOTE="farrell2k"]

I can't believe all the Heavy Rain > ME2 comments. Wow. Heavy Rain is just so mediocre. Maybe it's just the PS3 fanboy urges making their way out.
