I wasn't... in a way that might be a fine way to do it, though the whole "social network galactic war" thing is dumb in my opinion.ABadOmen said:
What I mean is adding multiplayer rather than focusing on the singleplayer.
Too many games are doing that now. Mass Effect is and it's likely it will fail but maybe not, still the trend has failed in MY OPINION and game-value rating system, for many many years.
The worst thing a game can do generally is fail to do what it is supposed to (generally entertain) but keep you playing anyway through reinforcement tricks so you end up hating it but want to beat it basically making you addicted (mildly or otherwise) to it through hollow awards that seem to increase but in actuality are completely meaningless.
If the game is supposed to be educational (like teach you a language or fly a plane or learn about a particular crisis for instance) and fails at that well thats pretty poor but if it convinces or tricks you into believing what you are learning is right well that could be a big problem.

Not having auto-save when it is clearly the most sensible thing they could do. Or if they have save points that are hours of gameplay away from each other.
Regenerating health is wonderful when it's necessary.andreas3K said:
You can't criticize regenerating health without looking at the problems of medkits and health stations as well.
This is only a problem for me if I don't have the ability to save myself. Otherwise, I pretty much save a game every 5 minutes or before going into new areas.Lobotomy95 said:
Personally, and other people have said this as well, the worst thing a game can do is be boring. The second worst for me would be large difficulty curves, that aren't warranted.
fail to be fun.

i LOVE IT when the squadrons of choppers show up; evading death with a tiny bit of blinky health -i survive LONGER in this condition than with full health/armor, wherein i can die FAST- while hijacking six in a row, then running away to attack some random base.Slim-Shot said:
It could do with some sort of GH upgrade. The thing JC needs most is some bullet-time, what with the mayhem and death restricting the utility of the hook adding to it. Also a couple of Mercenaries 2's airstrikes, then it'd perfect.
