Let me guess...You were expecting a fast-paced shooter with RPG elements?spazzx625

Then it became a turn based movement game on Noveria. :D

Well me too, i am not an RPG fan but this game didnt deliver what was promised, i thought that it would be an RPG/ACTION game but mostly it was an RPG game with a couple of shots to be firedmetallica_911

If anything, half the time you didn't really even know that you were playing an RPG. While it was still a RPG, there was plenty of action.

it was the best game I've ever played!!! Loved the story(deepth and choices), characters and action! I had no expectations when I started playing (actually didn't really know anything about it) and ended up awesome!

Nicely said.

Such as? I think I summed it up rather well :D

Oh Christ, do I even have to explain this? Mass Effect received a great deal of praise from critical circles, and it sold very well. You are trying to explain why thousands of gamers and every major review outlet are mistaken, except you didn't explain anything. "It sucked" is not a critique. It's just you stating your opinion without even explaining how you came to it. Other posters can't offer support or argument to your opinionin any meaningful way, because you didn't provide any insight into how you came to it...unless you were intending to receive "I agree/I disagree" answers, in which case, this thread is just a survey.

This game was great Bioware has yet to fail me.

It was a good RPG. An RPG puts you in the role of someone. Like if you had Gears of War the RPG you'd see where Marcus lived, where he kept his armor. You'd see the conversations he has before he goes out on missions to blow away Locusts.

That's the same thing with Mass Effect, you play the role of a Specter for every waking moment of his life. You see him have conversations with people, land on the planet and begin his investigations for the Council.In his life combat is very much a given but it is just a small part of his experience, that is an RPG. You can play games like Oblivion for hours before getting into combat.

no.. I didn't care for it either, I had bought it, I kept getting stuck on the game, and then when I completed the main questline, I immediately got rid of it, I would get oblivion over mass effect, any dayTrogeton

HELL YEA! Elder Scrolls or Fallout 3 are way better than Mass Effect. In the first three hours of the game I just looked for one damn person to start the first quest or mission or whatever they call it in space.

I didn't hate the game, but I couldn't bring myself to play through it either. It reeked of being undercooked... i_noseworthy

I would have to agree with your comment about the dialog, something that I would like to reference to Bioware's RPG's in general. They give you this dialog 'wheel' that really doesn't do much. Reload many of the parts in the game and pick any of the other 4 or so choices and your person and the persons reaction to it is usually so similar it doesn't even matter.

What do you want then? To be able to make vastly different dialogue decisions and have vastly different outcomes? So when the Council asks me if I want to be a Spectre, I just say "No, screw you guys" and then go about the rest of the "game" as a commander in the Navy, patrolling for pirates, and never learning about the Reapers or anything else. We have that; it's called Oblivion, where I can ignore the world-threatening demonic invasion and spend months out in the woods picking mushrooms. The game has to go more or less in one direction if it's actually going to tell a story, or at least, if your character is going to have any responsibility to that story.

They could replace all the choices with 'Bad' - 'Neutral' - 'Good', seeming most of the text is so blantantly obvious which path it takes you down anyhow.

Do you not want it to be obvious what you're saying to someone?
