Did it occur to you to maybe, you know, check the map? Because....objectives are are marked as exclamation points......kinda hard to miss.Dunn159 said:
I personally thought Mass Effect was alright, not the best game I've played but still pretty good anyway.Godofgame67 said:
Even when I sat through the heavy dialogue segments paying all due attention to every word I never had my controller fall asleep on me so either you forgot that you have to choose your dialogue (and that dialogue can often be skipped) or you're just bone idle enough to have been sitting there doing nothing for at least 20 minutes after the cut scene has in fact finished.
I personally never had any issues with the ground controls although I will admit the Mako was a pain in the arse to use most of the time.
Cover action was fairly limited although I personally never found myself actually needing it (even on the higher difficulty settings), your body armour and shields are often more than sufficient to keep you alive in a fight (depending on your accuracy and weapon choice as well).
I think you went in expecting a fast paced action shooter like Gears of War (it's more of an RPG with action elements), it just isn't that kind of game (and it's seems it's also not your kind of game either, which is fair enough).
Mods were a bit difficult at first but I got the hang of them after about 15 minutes and they seem really simple to me now (that's how a lot of features in many games work though).
I can understand that not everyone will like a given game but that doesn't mean that said game is bad, I don't really like Half Life but I will admit that it is a solid shooter with a couple of good ideas.
I liked it a lot. One of the best RPGs I've ever played. I even liked the combat, but I seem to be in a minority there.
I will say that if you went into it expecting a shooter then I'm not surprised you where disappointed. Mass Effect seems to following a trend of tradition RPG pretending to shooters or fast paced action games (see Fallout 3). Mass Effect doesn't play like that. If you try to use your guns constantly then your going to hit a brick wall and will be unable to continue. Think of it as turn based combat holding a sign saying "I'm a shooter". It can say it all it wants, hell it can even dress up like a shooter, but it's anything but.

I just finished replaying through Mass Effect yesterday, decided it needed to be done before Arkham Asylum on friday, and enjoyed every second of it.
You are definitely not the only one. I try to buy most of my games a few months after they've been out so that I can either get a used copy or an original at a discounted price. Everybody I knew kept telling me how much I would love Mass effect so I made the mistake of listening. I pretty much hated it from the get go but I still put time into it. After getting pretty darn far and still hating it, I figured that I made the wrong class of character. So I started all over again as one of the guys with mental powers and hated the game even more. Mass effect was really bad, the voice acting sucked, the controls sucked, the combat sucked and it took forever to get anywhere. I would literally prefer to go back to playing Zork on my old IBM PC than to spend one more minute with Crap Effect.
Ohhhh...is there gonna be a cage match? Cuz I'm totally in if there's a cage match.The_Oracle said:...I'll have to eventually challenge you in a no-holds-barred duel to the death to claim your title, won't I?orannis62 said:
Loved ME through all 6 playthroughs....
The game is quite fun with the choices in dialogue and the action is nice too. When you first visit the Citadel it is rather boring, but later on it gets better. The game usually gives hints in that journal thingy and on the map as well. I don't see why you couldn't find the guy you were looking for.
So adding an original combat system to an RPG is a bad thing? Ok then, bring on the Final Fantasy I style combat system?goodman528 said:
No, your certainly not. What did you expect me to say? There are thousands of people who played it and liked it, there are also many who played it and didn't like it. That's how things work.
I love it personally, but everybody is entitled to their opinion. It does have its flaws though, hopefully they work those out in ME 2.
