What I really think of Mass Effect

Quote :

I think you're drinking too much bioware koolaid if you're going to actually defend robotic character movements and voices

What?

I don't see how they move like robots. There are some games that do benefit from "realistic movement" and some that don't. For example...Gears 3's "smoother animations" look weird to me compared to the twitchy feel of Gears 2. And I'm not the only one who shares this opinion.

And yea you can fuck right off if you think voice acting is bad in Mass Effect.

Mass Effect would benefit more from Motionscan technology used in LA Noire because the game has a larger focus on character dialogue and their faces. Plus the company that created Motionscan, Depth Analysis, weren't part of Team Bondi so they didn't go under.

Okay first off the whole Uncharted thing. I was making fun of its rinse and repeat gameplay. I do remember Alan writing a rant about how overrated Uncharted is.

Choices made still result in a black or white. Some of the choice options are locked out depending on how high your paragon and renegade is. Suicide mission is shit, "Oh if you make the wrong choice your characters will die" come farking on... I call it bad story writing. Those kinds of decisions should be made throughout the game.

That's logical though. For example, if you send Grunt (a ruthless, dumb, tank-born krogan) to do a tech specialist's job then yea I expect him to die.

The choices you make are not ALWAYS black and white. Some paragon choices may seem like the right thing to do until you realize later on that they will bite you in the ass.

It's been a while but that's not why I ranted about Uncharted. I ranted about UC2 because to me there was nothing unique about it despite being praised as the best Ps3 game. The combat also felt outdatted and sluggish.

Uncharted's combat feels "outdated and sluggish", yet Mass Effect's doesn't?...

Geez

FFS, that's what I ranted about. I'm not comparing the 2 games.

This level of stupidity should be illegal...

I always thought the gameplay was pretty average, but I liked the games for the immersion, story, and all the stuff you could discover, especially the codec, I read all the stuff on there. So I was pretty disappointing in ME2 when you couldn't land on planets with the Mako and did the stupid scanning thing instead. I admit it was kinda bland riding around on the Mako at times, but they should have improved it instead by adding more enemies and scenery, maybe some set pieces and hidden bosses too.

I agree with you about the Mass Effect 3 multiplayer too, not to mention that the gameplay is even more stiff and rigid than before. The multiplayer wasn't that good, and not gonna lie, the single player demo was complete garbage.
