And what's more exciting than driving a buggy across barren wastelands covered with endless mountains?

My main issues in town is how the REAL map is a few screens away. I think the realism of the elevator rides could have been better spent elsewhere. I think the combat is if anything worse than KOTOR. I also hate how responses I choose are never what come out of my characters mouth. Chance its tied to current alignment, but then why dont you adjust the possible choices to match what I fucking say at my current alignment.

The games chock full of stupid ass design decisions propped up with fancy pants visuals and decent VA.

Yeah the buggy shit is weird. It WAS kinda neat exploring, but exploring places you can barely see is lame. Then you have to attack enemies who jam your radar so you stumble on them in your damned buggy so while youre trying to climb the mountain youre trying to shoot and decide if you should go out on foot but you probably shouldnt cause the dumb AI will just watch you die.

This Galaxy Map is a big lie too. Here I'm thinking I'd have tons of worlds to explore, when each of these clusters seems to only have one explorable planet, and the rest are either there to be surveyed or read about, with no option to land.

Shame on you, BioWare

Insert disc 2.

seriously though, there are supposed to be 30 planets, all others are there for show or for the sequel, or maybe DLC.

Mass Effect is so good that I don't have to defend it! It speaks for itself. I'm gonna go play it right now! GOTY

MrAngryFace · « **Reply #67 on:** November 26, 2007, 12:09:40 AM »

Just like Mario Galaxy and Rock Band? Oh Patel

Howard Alan Treesong · « **Reply #68 on:** November 26, 2007, 12:11:17 AM »

I said this in the GAF thread and I'll say it again: I see no point to bother trying to compare Mario Galaxy and Rock Band to each other, or either to Mass Effect. They're completely different everythings!

Anyways, sorry you're not enjoying it, but it's no rain on my parade.

MrAngryFace · « **Reply #69 on:** November 26, 2007, 12:11:49 AM »

I thought you were gonna go play it instead of look dumb in here ha ha ha

demi · « **Reply #70 on:** November 26, 2007, 02:32:12 AM »

I just realised that I'm currently level 13 - and I've gained maybe 9 of those through quests alone. Where is the fighting? Haha. Is this a MMO or what, cmon.

*taps mic* This thing on?

I traveled this expansive, desolate wasteland of a planet filled with SNOW CAPPED mountains (i was wrong, there is at least some variety!), only to find a ship guarded by 8 renegades. I think that's the most I've ever encountered.

MrAngryFace · « **Reply #73 on:** November 26, 2007, 02:37:40 AM »

I encountered some weird fort that blew me off the planet cause I was trying to drive over a mountain and got stuck and they just took potshots at me

Himu · « **Reply #74 on:** November 26, 2007, 02:54:27 AM »

Ummm...I just got to Novera. I brought my usual team: Kaiden and Ash. At the beginning of the world I encountered some Japanese chick after that conversation, I talked to Kaiden and he said,"A little bit nippy." I know I shouldn't have but I lol'd

MrAngryFace · « **Reply #75 on:** November 26, 2007, 02:55:53 AM »

Keep this to the other thread, we talk about GAMEPLAY here BURRRRN

demi · « **Reply #76 on:** November 26, 2007, 02:57:15 AM »

Kaiden is played by the guy who did Carth Onasi, making him a big case of massive FAIL

MAF the guy who cant forgive Bioware!

Himu · « **Reply #81 on:** November 26, 2007, 03:06:32 AM »

what did they ever do to you i mean i was a big ol skeptic myself and i am enjoying it lots

MrAngryFace · « **Reply #82 on:** November 26, 2007, 03:08:10 AM »

the combat is bad, the dialogue wheel is fucked up (I dont say what I choose), the environments are boring and very little is interactive, the cutscenes are boring, the interface is bad, the offworld exploration is bogus, oh and why does the one autosave have the option to be deleted?

Oh yeah, and friendly AI is useless. Im not impressed with what ive seen of the story. Im currently watching Babylon 5 so thats probably why

demi · « **Reply #83 on:** November 26, 2007, 03:12:16 AM »

Apparently the story doesnt KICK YOU IN THE FACE until the endgame, but I think I've forgotten it at this point with all these side-quests! But if I don't do them then I'll complain that the game is too short and I'll look so silly! Me!

MrAngryFace · « **Reply #84 on:** November 26, 2007, 03:14:59 AM »

Its not like KOTOR's story was much better at the start either but it:

A.) Had the Star Wars Lore
B.) Hadn't been dished out by Bioware before

Now that im expecting a kick in the face its all so diminished.
