Oblarg Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 Is the gameplay going to be as good as in rainbow six vegas 2? i mean challenging difficulty, good cover system, powerful weapons, etc. and another question: desert eagle is present in the game? i have a felling this will be more like mass effect in gameplay than rainbow six vegas. which isn't a bad thing cos mass effect is sooo good Mass effect's gameplay was definitely not "sooo good." It was pretty boring and mediocre.

Cycloneman Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 Mass effect's gameplay was definitely not "sooo good." It was pretty boring and mediocre. Oh, is it Mass Effect hating time again? Well, let me get started, with a little play in three acts called "Mass Effect Designers Are Big Dumb Babies": Act 1: Worldbuilding sucks. hey guys check it out we wrote an entire encyclopedia with all this cool **** in it. enjoy reading it, because it will never ever come up in the game. Act 2: Gameplay is unbalanced hey soldiers, i hope you enjoy a maxed out pistol being better than all other weapons! heh heh, owned, your class is rendered useless since everyone else gets pistol skills too. Act 3: Characters suck hey guys, we really wrote in a character who is a nerdy, shy but hot girl who has magical powers far beyond the scope of normal people, and she isn't a self parody! and you can have sex with her! even if you're a girl! also our other characters are half-baked stereotypes (warrior race warrior, rogue cop, hey guys did i tell you i'm a space gypsy? girl, soldier girl, military-conducted childhood abuse boy). I don't post if I don't have anything to say, which I guess makes me better than the rest of your so-called "community." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fastpunk Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 Mass effect's gameplay was definitely not "sooo good." It was pretty boring and mediocre. Indeed. However, it did have good ingredients. Not great, but good. It just didn't mix them right. Way too much walking around and way too many transition areas and movies really watered down the experience. I'm not even going to mention that damned vehicle (twas about as fun to control as a boat on restless waters). I'm hoping Alpha Protocol keeps this sort of stuff to a minimum.

Wrath of Dagon Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 My research indicates ME was a very troubled project from technical point of view, and at some point they just had to take what they had, polish it up so it was playable, and ship it, which explains its half-baked and awkward state. Amazingly most reviewers and players completely missed that and declared it a great game. "Moral indignation is a standard strategy for endowing the idiot with dignity."

Cl_Flushentityhero Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 It was a good game, and palatable without any aspect standing out in the typical Bioware fashion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanschu Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 Outside of the "sidequests" Mass Effect was a lot of fun for me. Soldier using Assault Rifles by the way, which did pretty well for me. But hey, it's cool to hate. It's also cool to like KOTOR over Mass Effect, and even claim that the similarities that are in KOTOR are good, but when shown in Mass Effect, they are bad. Meh.

Trenitay Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 Is Alpha Protocol going to have gameplay similar to a video game? Hey now, my mother is huge and don't you forget it.

The main problems with the combat were it was too stat based, it took too many shots to kill a given enemy, and it had auto-aim. It may as well have just been KotOR combat disguised as third-person shooter. Oh, and the cover system was AWFUL.
