Same old, same old.

This combat looks... Just look at it, he goes face to face, stands like and idiot and then just moving right and left trying to make it somehow dynamic, while he could just stand. Dunno if this is tank build, but all you need to do is stand and shot.
Camera is strange as well, why character is 60% of screen?
Skills animations looks good, although little numb.

It has skills so it's an rpg

No way this is polished for release in march, I bet they butchered content for dlc right and left, and it will have a fuck ton of issues.

Luckily frostbite runs on a toaster, so performs de should be good.

Is Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare RPG too?

It's a first person action rpg, just like the new Deus Ex

3 active skills available at a time! Incline! Clearly not console-influenced!

I will not play this game only because women aren't hot anymore.

 

[Jarmaro]

Am I wrong or in none of these "gameplays" we've seen cover system? Previous games were pretty much built on this idea, so far we have seen only walking.
They probably rebuilt it beceause of an open-world.

 

[pippin]

Cover based shooting is too hard for CURRENT YEAR +1 kids.

 

[Jarmaro]

At least we don't have autopilot in open-world games, so we wouldn't need to travel by ourselves, that border wasn't crossed... Yet.

ME2 is the game which suffers the most when you don't play it with its dlcs, but it still has the best cnc of the trilogy imo.

Not entirely true, it has a final mission very well designed where you get the feeling your choices mattered, but actually there were no previous choices only a task list to complete (loyalty missions) and then picking the right choices in the suicide mission.
Hey I am not criticizing it, it's the best part of the trilogy, just pointing out it's not really much of a CnC, just good design.

Sorry for the EDIT: Well I always forget about the retarded final boss... but you can forgive it since the rest of the mission is great.

Lol Are you fucking joking

It's not just the loyalty missions, you have to care about the ship and upgrade it too. It's surprisingly detailed for a AAA game

also iirc you can't just save anywhere.

The terminator baby is cringeworthy as fuck, but you don't even fight him directly, iirc. You spend so little time fighting him that I just deleted it from my memory

My only argument is.. without the companion missions.. the game is like 3 hours long..

ME2 is the game where bioware gave up on even trying to make good RPGs and just went to cover shooter with romances. Fuck ME2.

There is cover but combat is supposed to be more dynamic

ME2 is the game where bioware gave up on even trying to make good RPGs and just went to cover shooter with romances. Fuck ME2.

and it was better because of it. ME1 was a bad rpg anyway, what does it say when an action game has better c&c than your game?

 

[Irenaeus]

This thread is fucking disgusting and I'm getting the hell out.

Bye, losers.

Bioware probably couldn't figure out how to add it to the Frostbite engine. It was done for them in Unreal Engine.

Alternative viewpoint: They never wanted cover shooting for Mass Effect, but couldn't figure out how to remove it from Unreal.

 

[J1M]

You can change classes at will?

This leaves them the option of developing some challenging content that tests specific skill sets. It's not a bad design decision in isolation but it needs to be backed up by level design.

There are 3 ship upgrades that failing to do will kill someone. Then there is "assign loyal X expert to X role" that failing to do will kill someone. Don't need a flowchart for that "complexity".
