Pidesco Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 From what I've played of the demo, I have a hard time figuring out why someone who liked FEAR wouldn't like FEAR 2. It seems like the same game with upgraded graphics and toned down challenge level. It seems to get the same things right and the same things wrong as the first one.

Purkake Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 Mass Effect 2... On the PC! For the love of god, please make it more interesting than a weekly episode of <insert generic TV-serie here>. Is this the backlash against Mass Effect? I thought mostly everyone here liked it. It wasn't bad, it was just... mediocre, average, run of the mill. The console crowd finally got a taste of half-way decent storytelling and hailed it as the second coming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morgoth Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 ME was great, even for PC standards. My guess is that ME2 will arrive on PC, 360 and PS3. Which means, as we speak, there's somewhere likely a PS3 port for ME in the works. Rain makes everything better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hurlshort Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 I thought Mass Effect was awesome. Seconded. But the whiners coming out of the woodworks are just part of the natural reaction any successful product has. It's the same reason people feel the need to complain about The Dark Knight.

Is it whining if I happen to not like something as much as some others? Anyway I just don't like the hype that was around Mass Effect. Some games get hyped up so far that no game could meet the expectations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the whiners coming out of the woodworks are just part of the natural reaction any successful product has. It's the same reason people feel the need to complain about The Dark Knight. I thought it was very well done in most regards (exception: every time you got into your ATV). But it wasn't to my tastes. I like that they went for a cinematic feel, I just don't particularly care for the type of cinema they decided to imitate most directly (i.e., unsophisiticated 'yay hero! boo villain! ignore the plot holes!' summer popcorn flick).

That's a good point. The game was very clearly a summer action popcorn flick. The previews made it out that way, Bioware has been leaning heavily that way. And the game really hit that nail directly on the head, so when people complain about it, it's like they are complaining that the game was exactly as advertised.

Hell Kitty Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 Is it whining if I happen to not like something as much as some others? Not liking something is all fine and dandy, but claiming to know why other people do like it, with explanations like this: The console crowd finally got a taste of half-way decent storytelling and hailed it as the second coming. is just ridiculous. If only krookie and hurlshot had experienced the same awesome storytelling as you, they'd be able to see how bad ME really is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If only krookie and hurlshot had experienced the same awesome storytelling as you, they'd be able to see how bad ME really is. I'm actually not trying to defend the game. I said the story was half-decent, if you disagree fine, but there have been far worse. I strongly disliked the combat, the inventory system and the lack of any meaningful side-quests. Also the Mako sequences were pretty bad. It was pretty much the first Bioware rpg to really hit the mainstream console crowd. I presume that people liked it for the story and the characters, because there is a lot better combat, exploration and inventory systems in other games.
