Yes, jumping around in front of a camera is totally original.

It's more original than "here's another wand only with a big ass ball on it"

Though Sony did beat them to the punch.

But the non-gaming media is giving attention to natal, where nobody gives a shit about the sony dildo.

All this shit fucking sucks and I wish they'd stick to regular controllers and focus on making good games instead.

Mirror's Edge is a part of the holy trinity of unique games this gen, that being Portal, Mirror's Edge, and Dead Rising, but it's ain't topping Dead Rising! You take that back, Beezy!

I really don't get how Mass Effect (360 version) gets so much praise.

- it was technically a mess with some of the worst texture pop-in I've seen this gen, it also had a shitload of screen tearing, and uneven framerate.
- the dialogue system was highly overrated because some of the choices lead to the same fucking answer
- the battle system lol what a joke: terrible AI, the variety was horrible in terms of enemy design and boss battles.
- changing weapons/armor was a battle on itself the enemy was the atrocious interface.
- sidequests? what sidequests? they were so bad it was best to not bother at all
- the character customization was boring, very few skills.

I don't get how the gaming media overlooked all of that and gave it stupid high scores.

About the few positive things the title had was the presentation and the worldview. Bioware is good at creating interesting worldviews in their games. That's it, though, the rest of the game was a mess IMO.

I haven't tried Fallout 3 because I found Oblivion to be so awful, but it seems like the game is actually good so I might give it a shot someday.

MCD · « **Reply #143 on:** September 28, 2009, 03:41:20 AM »

Mainly because Mass Effect setting is interesting.

also Bioware games usually score high, nothing new here.

this isn't gaf, I'm not talking about sales... it was like a ubi game. The first hour or so is great, then the next 6 repeat the first one. The best part after the initial "wow" of the platforming wears off is the garage scene where you have to plan on taking out a whole bunch of dudes (without guns b/c of pacifist achievement.) The platforming was practically unnecessary because it was so easy...

Dead Rising is an actual game instead of easy platforming plus Stylish Graphics™, so it wins.
