as other gamers for years have proven, mass effect 2 takes the rpg mechanics of the first game and flushes them yes, exactly...a shooter with combat upgrades and dialogue choices that dont matter (boring companions and “romance” to boot)

its as idiotic as negative Elex reviews: one of the great rpgs created (console): they foolishly downgrade what i consider a strength: typical modern gamer trash NO handholding NO dumbing down

in-game mechanics, for me again. i LIKE disco but, i have to fib the lines to compare it to other rpg classics i d love to c the greatness of disco integrated into NV, for example but, i will not agree with disco needing vegas: two different genres

i find your discrepancies alarming as the re2 remake is a remake and a touch better if re2 REMAKE gets any awards ill go ballistic * why the dicrepency between re and remake of 2?

i find re2 brilliant (yes, i rebought, though, i have the original and my gamecube lol) but.... its a remake. whats your take on that?

ya, you are probably right and im being a tad dramatic, lol however, disco is its own thing and i do not compare it to the great rpgs of all-time im playing, literally, right now, battle chasers: absolutely great game, but, i dont compare it to disco, lol, or new vegas TOW should be compared to mass effect: and i despise mass effects horrid adolescent writing and “good/bad” for example: mass effect 2 was BARELY a rpg; dark souls is NOT a rpg it is a fighting game you get to level up fighting skills (might as well play return of the king)

i should also state, console games only. my fault morrowind to oblivion mass effect one to mass effect two assassins creed one to ass creed two i thought, foolishly, each and every time, that the next game would expand what greatness the first had started. skyrim vanilla is a crock. a scam: yet, im about to buy it for my daughter due to mods. and, im actually getting giddy, lol * morrowind was my first xbox buy: beth games are now on my never auto-buy list btw: TOW doesnt even get close to the brilliance of NV: id never b foolish enuf to compare the two

the first thing i do in any game is check gameplay and hud customization disco doesnt even need such changes as its not a rpg and barely a game when im in the mood for a game like disco, its brilliant, but, its not... morrowind (not hitting due to low player skill is what i like-controller twitch is not) its not, divinity original sin its not, planescape or fallout or deus or gothics or bgate or new vegas or mount and blade or even skyrim with mods disco is not a rpg and it has its own category, for me * zero handholding should be a given in EVERY game (thus, mechanics should ALWAYS reflect this) *let the snowflake cheaters look it up on their own time playing TOW i have the hud off: no cheating (YES, there absolutely IS cheating in a single-player game) i try and do all i can to not let the game or outside idiocy influence my playthrough; second playthrough is irrelevant

obviously, im not the only one bringing this stuff up about disco im assuming itll win other categories, including, lol, goty, from multiple sites it is my cup of t, but, im never so lacking in ego that i cant criticize things i like its like comparing, oh, TOW to NV; or the walking dead games to state of decay; or the witcher 3 to the last wish or, the tlou writing to anything *end rant, starting, lol ......now! **seinfeld reference

art/direction? sure but, disco is going to get goty and best better bestest awards and its barely a video game

i like all kinds of games what i dont like is Dumbing-Down and mediocre gameplay getting glorified i hate gamers wanting more and more fluff: animations, graphics, voice acting, ui (not ai lol), 3rd to see character, “romance”, game music (i turn it off-wouldnt if devs would get smart and not connect it to battle music), handholding for example, tlou is a mediocre mess, doing nothing new and simply being liberal Regressive politics: i and others knew exactly what was going to happen ; it was typical every step of the way and inevitable if you arent a Regressive sheeple bioware writing and “romance” is simply stupefied gameplay that gets pumped up due to presentation: mass effect one: a decent start- mass effect 2: get rid of all rpg mechanics and dumb down; morrowind: great game-oblivion: get rid of rpg mechanics and dumb down; assassins creed 1- good game (no HUD gameplay) great base for next game; ass creed 2: dumb down and get rid of all that was great in AC1 i hate “accessibility” i despise hand-holding: when i read reviews, people actually sometimes use that as a negative: it blows me away i started gaming with Pong and what i see now in “gamers” and devs angers me the hypocrisy and idiocy is laughable end rant lol

parvatis simpleton and unbelievable, aw shucks attitude, is one reason why i dislike her if anything, its contrary to what she actually does in the game, as O alluded to

no kidding its the shiny new toy everyone likes to yap about though, in reality its not as overrated as the last of us

im amazed that wasnt fixed unacceptable yet, 2 second fix

with these patches that “fix” quests does one need to restart a game (a non-corrupted save) to see if the patch actually fixed it?
