Is the world that enamored with Mass Effect 2 that this counts as news?
I couldn't listen past 1:20 without getting sick of it and turning it off.
OT: The rap was worthy of some epic lulz.
Glad someone came in here to say what I was going to say regarding the all-important "ROLE-PLAYING" part of role-playing games. It's not like they turned Mass Effect into Bioshock, or even Deus Ex (as great as Deus Ex is, don't misunderstand). You don't need a bullshit inventory system to have a good RPG.Xzi said:The interactive conversations still make it more of an RPG than most games which claim to be in the same genre. The item/skill customization isn't as deep as say, Bioware's own Dragon Age, but as an avid RPG player/fan, even I can admit that deep doesn't always equal fun. I don't mind constantly looking at the smallest details of armor/weapons to swap for the superior item, but when an RPG comes along that doesn't require me to continue that tedium, I won't complain about that, either.Onyx Oblivion said:I should be. ME2 took most of the RPG out of ME. And there wasn't too much there to begin with. It's good, but its been dumbed down to a shooter with a few powers and a handful of skill points.Xzi said:Aww, someone's a little bit of a sour-puss today.Onyx Oblivion said:This is news how?

Bottom line: the things that you suggest are missing from ME2 are some of the same things people were complaining about and wanted gone from ME1. You can't please all the people all the time.
You got that far? I only got about 10 seconds in...Onyx Oblivion said:I couldn't listen past 1:20 without getting sick of it and turning it off.
Hahahahahahahaha! Win.Win Laik Pya said:I'm commander Shepard, and this is my favorite rap on the citadel.
And, you know, all those conversations, moral choices, multiple endings and all those bits where you play a role. Or does that just get in the way of your point?Onyx Oblivion said:I should be.

I'm slowly becoming convinced that the people who claim that Fallout 3 and Mass Effect 2 aren't "proper RPGs" are just shit shots.
OT - I laughed a lot, but I still don't have an issue with scanning, and I still DO have an issue with the Mako's drunken mule level handling.
Oh, they're still RPGs (Fallout 3 is clearly an RPG in every way, with stats, customization, leveling), but that doesn't mean that to be an RPG you NEED moral choices, conversations, and choice. After all, RPGs have stats and levels...without that, they'd be Adventure games.Chipperz said:Hahahahahahahaha!
