I use a special skill called "Hyperbole". It does lose a little steam in the face of Sarcasm, though, I'll admit. My point stands. There are tons of awesome shooters out there, and plenty more awful ones. Can't RPG fans have a AAA Sci-fi title now and again? Fingers crossed on Deus Ex.thebobmaster said:Amazing that you can tell how the entire game will be just from a single trailer with no dialogue. How do you do that?Crunchy English said:So, now I can outfit my weapons like a CoD player? Great. Don't suppose some of that depth will splash over in to the writing or the character classes eh, BioWare? I'm so bitter.
Do you know I just watched a ME3 trailer that had no dialogue in it at all? It was all combat and rock music and him stabbing guys with the holoknife. Don't call it an omnitool. an Omnitool is just that, a tool. A Swiss Army Knife isn't a weapon, a tricorder isn't a phaser, and an omnitool isn't a melee attack.
I realize there was no money in Space RPG, but did it have to do THIS?! Mechandize more, or give me more rip-off DLC. Anything but relentlessly turning my favourite franchise into another stupid thirdperson shooter.
I swear, the next romance arc is just going to be the sex mini game from God of War. The next plot is just going to be "Shoot the dudes, save the galaxy" and the next game-ending moral choice is going to just be "Be Retarded in Blue" or "Be an Asshole" in red. Fuck you Bioware, you were like family, and this is how you repay me.
I think they will make a difference in ME3. did the quarians go on a pointless war or did they prepare for the reapers? do you have 13 million extra geth to fight the reapers with? are the krogan still wallowing about on their world blowing each other up, or has Wrex united the clans to be able to fight the reapers? Will the Rachni be able to assist? How badly is Martin Sheen going to go on a mass genocide with the collector technology, if you let him have it (I haven't let myself get much info on ME3, so I don't know wtf cerberus are doing).kikito said:I'd say the meaning of "meaningful" is stretched here. Choosing "explosive rounds" or "incendiary rounds" sounds as "meaningful" to me as choosing the armor color.
I didn't like how they handled the choices in MEII. The story was basically the same, no matter what you did in MEI. You killed the krogan? No problem, his "brother" will be sitting where he would be, and give you the same conversation options. And if you didn't kill him, he's not going to be able to join your team anyway, sorry.
You left the rachni queen live? All you get is a 2-lines conversation.
You killed/saved the council? It doesn't matter, they are irrelevant, you follow the Martin Sheen guy now.
Bah.
I felt conned. All my choices from MEI were completely irrelevant.
They should fix THAT. I don't care about explosive rounds.
Oh lawds the memories! Best be having a good menu system or I will be having fits (who am I kidding, I love ME too much to let that stop me).Fappy said:Come on, who didn't like sorting through hundreds of "Explosive Rounds X"?Iklwa said:So long as I don't have to sort through 3 billion rail extensions or ammunition types to get what I need, I'll be a-ok
It's another way for the PC master race to lord over console users.Random Argument Man said:Dumbed down for the consoles?...If I recall, ME1 came on the xbox first then on PC...Then again, I never understood the whole "dumbed down for consoles" argument.fi6eka said:Thank the lord.I was actually afraid they were gonna' dumb it down for the consols like the previous one.
Why yes, if they've renewed the combat system they might aswell show it to us. If a trailer doesn't show us dialogue, it must mean there is no dialogue! Also, stop throwing a tantrum just because you don't like what they call a melee weapon. Perhaps melee combat will finally be more varied, but I guess some people are never happy.Crunchy English said:Do you know I just watched a ME3 trailer that had no dialogue in it at all?

No money? Mass Effects have sold 7 million so far, I wouldn't exactly call it bad. Also, you're getting incredibly emotional over trailers. Why won't you actually play the game first and if you're unsatisfied, complain then? Why the need for cries of discontent half a year before release?I realize there was no money in Space RPG, but did it have to do THIS?! Mechandize more, or give me more rip-off DLC.

Do you want the trailers to spoil the plot for you? Honestly? Take a deeeeeeep breath in and try to think if you're making any sense: you're judging the game a shallow shooter based on trailers. Any chance you might be the shallow one?I swear, the next romance arc is just going to be the sex mini game from God of War.

I'd rather do that then have to spend 100,000 credits on a 10% damage boost. Especially since money didn't really come to you quickly in ME2 like ME1.Iklwa said:So long as I don't have to sort through 3 billion rail extensions or ammunition types to get what I need, I'll be a-ok
Really? I had 2,986,302 (exact number by loading save game) credits by the end-game. (of course there is the fact that I did every single side mission I could get my hands on, even going so as far as consluting a FAQ sheet to find more missions.)otakon17 said:I'd rather do that then have to spend 100,000 credits on a 10% damage boost.

I can find no flaw with this statement whatsoever. I think we all loved it.Fappy said:Come on, who didn't like sorting through hundreds of "Explosive Rounds X"?Iklwa said:So long as I don't have to sort through 3 billion rail extensions or ammunition types to get what I need, I'll be a-ok
Didn't you hear? Apparently every flaw in every game ever made can now be blamed on consoles.Random Argument Man said:Dumbed down for the consoles?...If I recall, ME1 came on the xbox first then on PC...Then again, I never understood the whole "dumbed down for consoles" argument.fi6eka said:Thank the lord.I was actually afraid they were gonna' dumb it down for the consols like the previous one.
Same. I enjoyed ME2 for what it was. Sure, I missed having the huge amount of weapons and mods to choose from, but I still enjoyed ME2 and the combat was better than ever. The combat just lacked depth, even though it had a lot more than, say, Gears of War.SmashLovesTitanQuest said:Eeeeeh, im a big (read: MASSIVE) RPG fan myself but to me I never missed the RPG mechanics in Mass Effect 2. Maybe thats because I really liked the game and was having to much fun to worry about what should have been in it, but there you go.
Doom was good until they had to dumb it down for consoles.I_am_a_Spoon said:Didn't you hear?
