But can't the game be both? Admittedly, I'm not a Bioware aficionado. However, from the few games of theirs I have played it seems that the gameplay and combat are generally quite uninteresting, unchallenging and not very well balanced, but that that is counter-balanced by the story...

I wonder how much arguing is going to happen when RE6 lurches closer to release date :P

Saren hardly had that much screen time to be that great of a villain. You see him briefly at the beginning, and at the Citadel trial after. There's a little cutscene with Benezia saying something like 'that human must be dealt with.' Then you see him on Virmire, where you've figured out he's...

Not really. They're offering a greater degree of skill, armor and weapon customization, to say nothing of the new weapons and skills on offer, whilst simultaneously tweaking the combat so it's faster and less clunky. This thread here...

Rainbow Six Vegas 2 had some awesome title music. Mass Effect 2's was pretty good too, though it kept getting cut off by a cinematic.

You never know, if the combat in ME3 is fun and well made enough to stand up on its own merits then the multiplayer may be pretty good. And didn't Baldur's Gate/Neverwinter have multiplayer support way back when? I don't like them much either, but you don't really have to buy them. And I...

I agree with you. Though I'm thinking this topic is gonna get derailed with RAEG sometime soon.

Oops, double post.

I have the sneaking suspicion that some people would prefer a clumsy RPG rather than a shooter with RPG elements, even if the latter worked better and was more fun/challenging, so that they can jump on the 'everything's now a shooter BAWWWW' train.

Bioware fanboyism? Really? I thought I was just joking around with how much everyone seems to complain about the minor tidbits that Bioware seems to throw out every now and again. I mean, when Vega was revealed practically everyone whined about how he had a mohawk and tattoos and muscles...

Actually, I was just being sarcastic.

Shepard can roll now?! Mass Effect is RUINED FOREVER! The soldier squad mate is buff?! RUINED FOREVER! Freddie Prinz Jr?! zOMG Bioware appealing to the tweens! RUINED FOREVER! Ashley looks different?! RUINED FOREVER! Different modes?! RUINED FOREVER! The...

I... never really got stuck anywhere in Dark Souls. I heard horror stories about Lost Izalith pre-patch though. However, when I got there after the patch it was rather easy since the aggro ranges on those undead dragons were pretty low and you could just walk by most of them. Anyway, I...

I always felt kind of sorry for Samara, and though she may appear outwardly stoic I always felt an aura of melancholy around her. In any case, Justicar code = no sex. So tough beans :<

Depends on what type of an RPG you want. And since the term 'RPG' means a lot to different people, you're probably not going to get a great deal of consensus on the whole skill-based vs stat-based gameplay argument. Someone who mainly plays turn-based RPGs or RPGs with pause and play...
