    Poll: Disappointment Happens, but Why does it have to happen to Games I wanted to Love? (Mass Effect

    I stand corrected, nice call Xzi, I had forgotten about the healing mod. I understand the combat is faster/harder, but what about on easy? Is there still a challenge when your shield and heath recharge that quickly? And I should clarify that I wasn't considering the number of power. I meant...

    Poll: Disappointment Happens, but Why does it have to happen to Games I wanted to Love? (Mass Effect

    To Actual: The health/shields mechanic is remarkably similar to that of Halo 2-3 and Call of Duty:MW (1+2). Basically you get hit, they go down, but if you take cover or don't get hit for a while, they charge right back up. It also uses the same "Bloody vision" as CoD:MW(1+2), when your health...

    Poll: Disappointment Happens, but Why does it have to happen to Games I wanted to Love? (Mass Effect

    To Spectrum_Prez, thank you for posting, your kind of insight is what I was hoping to find by creating this thread. Keep watching, because I think we could actually get a good discussion going here. I guess I have been thinking of this as too much an expansion pack for Mass Effect (1). I mean...

    Poll: Disappointment Happens, but Why does it have to happen to Games I wanted to Love? (Mass Effect

    Sorry guys, I guess I did get a little carried away, nostalgia is a powerful thing. And to those that reminded me that I haven't actually played it yet, you are absolutely right. And thats why I want your opinions and feeback. My main concern with buying in though is that, like most 16-24...

    Poll: Disappointment Happens, but Why does it have to happen to Games I wanted to Love? (Mass Effect

    When I finished playing Mass Effect (1) I felt a certain sadness that usually accompanies the end of a game I would like to play forever. I thought the overall experience was good (granted I know the MAKO area were a little dull). I grew accustom to the interface, the characters, and the story...

    The fastest you found out you hated a game

    Hitman: Codename 47... Picked up on sale off steam, right from the tutorial level I found the controls to be clunky, the goals/objectives to be unclear, and the interface and inventory systems to be a mish-mash of different ideas, none of which worked very well.

    Beyond Good and Evil

    I picked it up off of Steam a couple days ago just for kicks. After just a few hours of play I'm already getting attached to Jade and Pey'j and I think its going to be well worth the money. I had seen the teaser trailer for the new one, but I went back and watched it now that I've played a...

    What's your favorite game character ever?

    I'm with SmilingKitsune on this one. I've been playing games for most of my life and you ask me to pick a favorite character? I could list hundreds and still forget somebody (and feel guilty about it later). I just picked up Beyond Good and Evil and after only a few hours of play am really...
