In Response To: Re: 6 most Ominous trends in video games (Moorpheusl9)


: Pretty much everywhere I go (including here, the Bioware forums etc), I see
: the same comments discussing the streamlined aspect of ME2 compared to ME1
: and how it had basically become a 'shooter first, RPG second' (whereas ME1
: was the opposite).

: I do agree that ME2 is an amazing game but Bioware definitely streamlined too
: much and took a lot of the RPG out of it. Thankfully ME3 looks to be going
: towards a happy medium.

Yes, but what SoMP is saying (and I agree) is that they actually improved the core (shooting) mechanics. You spend most of your time in both games running around shooting things. ME2 is vastly superior to ME1. (FWIW, I would have preferred ME2's shooting mechanics w/ ME1's inventory & character sheets.)

If you're expecting ME3 to be heavier on RPG mechanics than ME2, I think you're setting yourself up for disappointment.
