erm this guy isnt a cow. i saw him bash the ps3 few days ago. no wonder he's lovin it. u guys are technically not even bashing him.

the_h_bomb

it is funny how as soon as someone criticises crap effect (the only chance lemmings have of a AAAE RPG) they are called a cow. Weird defence mechanism

The only "WEIRD DEFENCE" mechanism are all Cow's trying in vain to put a quality game down because it isn't on their system.

Though everyone is used to it as it happens often, it never seems to get old :roll:

Cow reality check -

Mass Effect is better than anything on the PS3 andisn't going to the PS3 :)

It's also longer and has more content than all the PS3 exclusives combined.

This trend isn't suddenly going to end either. There is no magical date where the PS3 will start moving 200000 consoles a week. If it's selling as badly this time next year I'd expect Sony to pull-out and save face, and perhaps start work on a superior PS4.

Gamespot gave it a score of 8.5 calling it "Great". I agree.

A 9 should be something reserved for only very very special games. A 9.5 should be given out once or twice a generation.

No, games should be given scores they deserve, reguardless of whether or noth there have been 23 9.5's on the system before.

Mass Effect deserved a 9.0, the reasons the reviewer deducted point's from it are hardly valid at all.

i understand i hate all the fanboyism too, i j ust love ff way to much to let anyone bash it, i mean to be honest i dont think the TC has actually ever played an ffAnimal-Mother

There's nothing wrong with prefering FF over Mass Effect, for starters FF is a 20 year old franchise with almost 30 games, Mass Effect came out last week, but games like Mass Effect (RPG's in particular) come along few and far between - it's story, gameplay, dialogue, setting are of an extremely high quality that transcends any of the Final Fantasy games thus far.

Obviously, preference is up to the individual. I like some of the FF games too, btw.

LOL, even if Mass Effect 2 made it's way onto the PS3, it wouldn't work very well because:

a) You wouldn't know what the hell was going on as it continues directly from Mass Effect

b) You carry over you character and the choices/outcomes that you made in Mass Effect, thus making Mass Effect 2 on the PS3 completely VOID.

Deal with it.

Who says we wouldn't have played the game somewhere else? Is it a crime to play the game if you don't own a 360?

Yeah, how are you going to carry your file over from ME1 to ME2 ? Magic ? :roll:

After Gamespots review for ME came out, while shocked, I felt I couldnt say anything about it until I played the game enough to agree/disagree with the reviewer. I now have almost 40 hours logged into the game, and I have to say, the reviewer is WAY off on the technical issues he mentioned with the game. I wont even go into the graphics, voice acting, or anything else about the game because there is no need to do so, because that aspect of the game is flawless.

The reviewer for the game mentioned several technical issues. 1- Shepard getting stuck in the wall/ground and him not being able to get him out at all. 2- terrible controls using the Mako (the ground rover) 3- problems with the combat in the game 4- textures taking forever to fill in 5- issues with the maw on planet exploration

As I said, I have played this game for over 40 hours so far, so I have had plenty of time to experience the issues he spoke of, and here is what I have seen:

1- I havent been able to get Shepard stuck ANYWHERE that I couldnt get him out from, and I have even TRIED to do so.

2- If you take the time to get used to the Mako, you wont have any trouble using it or shooting/attacking with it at all. No, it doesnt become some unbelievable war machine the second you pick up the controller, you actually have to take the time to get used to it, and learn it before you will be able to use it properly.

3- The combat in the game is actually very challenging, and alot of fun. The catch is this... you CANNOT run and gun. You will die, and die alot. If you tried that approach, I could understand you getting frustrated, because you will have your backside handed to you over and over again. You have to approach combat with strategy in mind. Gear up your teammates properly, use cover and biotics, and be patient. Doing that will get you through the combat. I seriously have to believe the guy who reviewed this has a preference for FPS games over RPG games, because thats the only way I can explain his issues with the combat.

4- The textures do lag behind sometimes. 10 seconds or longer, as the reviewer said? No, nowhere close to that. The times the textures do sometimes have to "pop" in, I have seen it take as long as 1 to 4 seconds at most.

5- Major issues with the maw. The maw is a beast that could pop up on any of the planet exploration portions you go through in the game. The only time you are going to see the creature will be in flat areas, obviously, because it would make no sense for it to pop out of the sides of mountainous terrain. The reviewer stated issues with the maw fights that went from complaints of the movements of the maw combined with trouble using the mako to battle it. I have to shoot down both of those problems as well. I actually look FORWARD to coming across a maw, because you get a nice little profit from killing one, and some decent XP as well. Yes, the thing WILL pop up underneath you and kill you instantly if you sit still. Now, if you are moving about it could still happen, but the chances of that drop dramatically. Basically, all you need to do is circle around the area, and wait for it to pop out so you can start hitting it until you eventually kill it.

Now that I have put some significant time into this game I will have to say its the best game I have played on the 360. Its as near to a perfect game that I have seen yet, and should easily be a candidate for GOTY. I just had to get this off my chest, because I felt like the negative issues the reviewer had with this game were way, way off base... but I had to at least play the game enough to see if I could agree/disagree with the review. If anyone likes RPGs, then you need to own this game, or you will be doing yourself a major disservice.

JediRiff

I totally agree, and I think anyone else who has played it would think the same.
