BioWare: Mass Effect 3 Combat Perfected

[Slavadil]

The combat system in ME2 was generally lame, better (perhaps) than ME1 but not by much. The reason I love the series is not in any way related to the repetitive shoot-cover-shoot-cover mechanisms but because of the interesting plot and RPG features. The Mako sucked, but the exploration itself was a cool idea. The inventory was clunky, but then you IMPROVE it, don't just strip it out for nothing. My advice to Bioware; stop trying to turn Mass Effect into something it's not (a mainstream shooter) and accept the fact that it is something much better and unique, an RPG Space Epic.

Why would you try to turn a $100 French steak into a McDonald's Happy Meal?

Bioware might as well come out and say that they no longer want to make RPGs anymore. Most of their games, while not bad, have been slowly changing and becoming more like everything else. I think in a few years, the "Bioware namesake" will go the way of the dodo.

I'm sure Mass Effect 3 will be great, I'm just not a fan of the homogenization of original games into the "more popular" appease-the-masses model. Why does a "shooter" have to be like "the top name shooters"? The top-name shooters generally suck anyway. I'm sorry, but if anyone thinks the "top-name" shooters are cutting-edge.. ugh, just ugh.

I'm a tad upset. I liked Mass Effect 1 and 2, but vastly preferred the combat in the first.
