"Satisfying combat" in Ass Effect + Misspelled thread name= Troll or Decline?

You pick!

TWD just has no taste and standards that is all.

Combat needs work, but sequel claims they have hitboxes now, so head shots are more lethal. That's nice.

Dialogue also are too damn long winded. They're poor at pacing it. Baldur's Gate 2 had some decent party member banter going on. And when you had them for a time in the party, they start opening up more to you, but in Mass Effect while you're out there they just give a bunch of one liners. But once you return to the Normandy they vomit out 3-5 paragraphs of their life story and told you to wait a until another planet is complete before giving more.

If anything, the sequel holds a lot of promise. But I wish they stop hyping the plot devices so much. 'Not a temporary death for Shepard' is just indication of how stupid the majority of your audience for you to explain how 'death' works. No kidding? Aeris can't be resurrected? WTF? No WAI!

Yeah, but why would I want to play the sequel if I didn't finish the first one.

So, ME is pretty good FPS. Is it as good as Half Life 2 or Doom 3?

The shooting gameplay is about as good as kane and lynch

Yeah it was fine. I actually preferred JE in comparison. ME was a little flat at times. Enjoyed the music though +1

I could not finish it.

It starts kind of interesting and then it turns into pop and it becomes mind-numbing.

I thought it was decent enough, though hardly stellar. Planet exploration is godawful, and theres no much variety in terms of powers or weaponry.

"ME is a crappy 3rd person shooter."

ME is an awesome Action RPG.

Indeed. Best part of the game was the credits, and even then it was only because of Faunts' song "M4 Part 2".
