Nepenthe Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 IGN: "Mass Effect 3 plays like a shooter" I'm sure the IGN target audience let out a fart of joy at that. You're a cheery wee bugger, Nep. Have I ever said that? Reapercussions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malcador Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 Shocking. Why has elegance found so little following?

entrerix Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 i like shooters, and mass effect has always played like a shooter imo. a bad one. if they said it was going to be an on rails shooter with no dialogue or leveling up, then i would be a little upset. Killing is kind of like playin' a basketball game. I am there. and the other player is there. and it's just the two of us. and I put the other player's body in my van. and I am the winner. - Nice Pete.

entrerix Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 i dont think ME was ever an rpg, not even the first game. it was more like a fps/rpg hybrid, not as good as deus ex or system shock 2, but having more in common with them than say, fallout 1 or baldurs gate 2 - as far as gameplay is concerned. Killing is kind of like playin' a basketball game.

Purkake Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 You're approaching the other slippery slope there, people, "what is an RPG". The lines are blurring, the genres are bending, who cares what sticker you put on the box? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What he said. And as I alluded earlier, IGN is the fratboy page, the shooter mechanics are going to be highlighted for that site. And Gametrailers. The MOAR rpg is going to be brought up somewhere else. Have to admit I'm still a bit worried, but hey, I let other people be drama queens too. You're a cheery wee bugger, Nep. Have I ever said that?

Volourn Posted June 4, 2011 Share Posted June 4, 2011 "mass effect has always played like a shooter" Nah. "i dont think ME was ever an rpg, not even the first game. it was more like a fps/rpg hybrid," Action RPG. BTW, How can, in any way, ME be a fps which it's not even first person. My non existent god!

Krookie Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 "mass effect has always played like a shooter" Nah. "i dont think ME was ever an rpg, not even the first game. it was more like a fps/rpg hybrid," Action RPG it did play like a shooter, you just said it's an Action RPG. the action in the game was the shooting part. the rpg part was the rpg part.

Right. There. This is at least 200% over the sense making limit of an internet forum. Could you go back and vague it up a bit, maybe add some obvious fallacies, you know the works.

HoonDing Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 I can see the krogan are needed as stormtroopers if your Renegade Shepard wiped out both the rachni and the Geth. But otherwise, it'd be a bad idea to set them loose on the galaxy again. The ending of the words is ALMSIVI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raithe Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 I'm not sure if it's an action game or an rpg.. I will say however that it's always played like a Space Opera game.. And actually, while I'm not sure how rpg'ish ME3 is from those E3 trailers.. the action doesn't look too bad. "Cuius testiculos habeas, habeas cardia et cerebellum."

WILL THE ALMIGHTY Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 The game looks great, and the gameplay is actually pretty goddamn cool. It's still... dumber, though. "Alright, I've been thinking. When life gives you lemons, don't make lemonade - make life take the lemons back! Get mad! I don't want your damn lemons, what am I supposed to do with these? Demand to see life's manager.

WorstUsernameEver Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 Is BioWare trying to win an award for the worst boss? They'll have to work hard to win against CD Projekt RED but the on-rails shooting section with the Reaper shows they're on the right track.

HoonDing Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 I suppose one simply will have to accept that Reapers can suddenly be blown up by the Normandy while in the first game Sovereign couldn't be stopped by an entire fleet?

WorstUsernameEver Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 I suppose one simply will have to accept that Reapers can suddenly be blown up by the Normandy while in the first game Sovereign couldn't be stopped by an entire fleet? Sovereign will get retconned as a super reaper. Or maybe every Reaper made the stupid move of assuming direct control during the fights so that they'd become weak every time their controlled people get killed. Who knows? The ways of BioWare's storytelling are mysterious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
