I'm just the opposite of you. Whenever I play RPGs I find that the battles are way too long and just go on and on. I want to rip out all the combat and stick with just the dialog. That'll be my ideal RPG!

I always take trainers and hacks to that bitch. :)

so basically, you don't like rpgs, because most of your complaints (like grinding and long stretches with no combat, for example) are present in basically every game in the genre. i love rpgs and i love mass effect. it definitely makes my list of top 5 games i've played

Dude. There's no grinding in CRPGs. Also: let this thread die.

Planescape: Torment. Old Infinity Engine game that's basically a visual novel, but a brilliantly written one.

Now i have to say, like the person posting i'm not a huge fan of RPGS, they for the most part bore me to death...save for two:
Elder Scrolls Series & S.T.A.L.K.E.R.----yes it is an RPG/FPS hybrid-----

I will say though i didn't find Bioware Mass Effect to be medicore when it came to gameplay mechanics, i just found the story to dry and a bit, well, superficial. I didn't care for the characters nor did i care about the universe in which i played, as far as i was concerned it was just another Space RPG.

On my 4th play though of mass effect on pc right now, best rpg I've ever played. But then I haven't played many over the years, never got into jrpgs much, didn't like diablo or anything bioware released previously. Heck outside wow I've barely touched the genre until ME came along. So in terms of my own personal experience the game was an incredible breath of fresh air. The story, the characters, the world, everything presentation and experience wise about the game made me love it. The gameplay was definitely buggy and the ai was laughable at best. I do find it odd that PapaLaza had no interest in the dialogue of the game considering you spend like 90% of mass effect talking to characters, why bother buying the game at all? The characters were so fleshed out and interesting and at the end of all this all I know is that I want Mass Effect 2 so freaking bad.

Still kinda weirds me out that I generally dislike gears of war style games and rpgs yet mass effect some how found a way to appeal to people like me despite being an obvious mix of those genres. I guess I just love sci-fi that much.

"Mass effect is underated, if anything that's overated, it's fallout 3, yeah I said it. Don't forget games like oblivion is similar, maybe your just not into wrpg games. "

Completely agreed. I love everything TES though. Those are my favorite RPG's.

I don't think Mass Effect is over rated at all. It has great story and characters and the game play is fun. The music, graphics, and the overall feel of exploring the galaxy comes together really well. Plus how your decisions affect each outcome is great. It's just not your type of game. Seems you like action games and not Role Playing Games.

Wow. I loved Mass Effect and its combat was fine enough to complement the story for me. And you said you didn't like KotOR. How in the world did you expect that you would enjoy Mass Effect? I guess you should stay away from Dragon Age: Origins when it comes out as well. But I'll probably be having fun with it.

I always find it funny when ignorant people compare games like Mass Effect to games like GTA4 and say that they suck. Like they try and bundle then together in the same genre.

I personally thought Mass Effect was a great RPG and didn't experience any of the unpleasantness you seem to have TC. Although you're entitled to your opinion I do however wonder why you went into the game with such high hopes considering you didn't enjoy any of Bioware's other games.

Omg someone has opinion about a game, lets all jump on him .. Anywho I also didn't like Mass Effect when I first played and most of the points TC had were the same problems I had with it. Then I wen't back to it after playing kotor and did enjoy it little more. I think Mass Effect is just one of them games were people will either love it or hate it to death

Don't you just hate it when somebody says a game sucks when the clearly just dislike the genre as a whole, than compare it with games of a completely different genre? Also the person I just quoted, you are a moron...learn to read. He clearly is just saying this because he does not like the genre at all. So if you dislike the genre, why even bother saying a game of that genre sucks so much and it is overrated. This isj ust another example of the term overrated being used as a scapegoat to say "BAHHH I didn't like this game so other people should not like it either!"

Where in his post did he say people should'nt like that game either? Sorry but I can't see anything like that so learn to read youself mate ;). Also you shouldn't generalize someone just because they hate a game, its pretty clear he dislikes Bioware but does that mean he hates all rpgs?

This reminds me of levios thread where he said he didnt like Too human because it was a sci-fi game and levios didnt like that but he did like being in a cave with a torch and orcs and a sword so too human sucked.

This thread is just as retarded

LOL, anyone who expected to get a shooter out of Mass Effect is obviously gonna hate it. ME did have some issues with its combat system, but overall it was a pretty good game (although not the best Bioware has put out by far, obv.). But to say that Bioware does badly written games with cliched stories is like saying pizza tastes terrible; that's laughable. :P

So many spelling and grammar mistakes, its no wonder you dont like these games, it takes you a fucking year to read a book, or for that matter, I don't think you read. Either you like JRPGs which are very different or you just suck at games. For one, you are talking about how you can't tilt the cannon of the rover, you are wrong, because you can. It just doesnt work like a turret in Halo. Also you hate KOTOR because it was just talking and crappy combat? That is the point of RPGs, story, where people talk to each other, and the combat was more strategic than mashing a button.
There are some classic moments in Mass Effect, like when you can choose to beat down Wrex and blast his brains out. Fucking awesome when I did that.

About the combat. I'll admit that I had more fun using special abilities than actually firing a gun (Although the shotgun was pretty good). But, those abilities are what saved the combat in my opinion. In the next Mass Effect I hope they make those powers crucial to battle, while still having them be unique for each character class.

And, Mass Effect's main storyline was really good. It's just when you try to explore the content outside that main quest when Mass Effect falters. Copy and paste quest locations made getting those "complete the majority of the game with this character" achievements extra difficult. It felt like I was grinding at that point.

Also, menus. I'm trying to remember back why I hated them so much. I just remember them having issues.

Overall, not my favorite Bioware game, but most definitely good enough to have a place on my shelf.

Here's an idea people....just because he doesn't think that Bioware is the god of all developers doesn't mean he's wrong. This is his opinion. It would be one thing if you disagreed politely and said why you liked it. Instead many have taken the high road of doucheyness and decided to berate him for his opinion. You know what, I have Mass Effect, haven't played it yet, but seriously fuck you guys and fuck your game if it means you're gonna act like Cunty McCuntersons to anyone that doesn't like it.

Maybe its not your cup of tea, but Mass Effect was awesome.

You really need to WANT to know about the universe that Bioware has created to fully appreciate the game.

If you're not the type of person who wants to read about the universe and get really immersed in the game, then yea, its not going to be for you.
