My thougts on Mass effect 1 and 2
themaninthejacket \| 5:19 AM on 05.11.2009	9 comments

Well i love RPG game. All of them Final Fantasy to Baldurs Gate. I really dont care the console i will play a good RPG.

But when i heard about Mass Effect i was compeld to get the 360. And it was worth it. Now there are some really great games for the system dont get me wrong love the 360. But this game was seriously the only reason why i got the system. I dont know why but Mass Effect really changed my idea of a tradional RPG more so than any MMO or Knights of the old republic. Now i am not saying that i am a RPG whiz i or that i know every one of them or that i have played all of them.

But to me Mass Effect really changed my look on RPG games. While many consider it a gloryfied 3 person shooter i think it is an RPG blend with shooter and tactics (like GRAW).

Now that they made Mass Effect and have learned from their mistake. I am really looking forward to Mass Effect 2. The teaser trailer had me really puzzeld if shepard is a machine or what??. Well we will find out when it comes out.

Also if any one comments i would like to appoligize for my bad grammar and what you thougt of the first game and what you expect from number 2.

Thanks for reading this is themaninthejacket saying have a nice day =)

I gotta be honest; you don't sound 20. I think you need to spend about 10 minutes proof reading and distilling your blog, maybe add a few images, etc. Better to write with proper grammar than to apologise for your lack of it. I mean, think about it - you're not actually harming or slighting us by having bad grammar, so you've nothing to apologise for... but you still end up looking a bit silly yourself. You you should be saying sorry to yourself if anything. :p

I hate RPGs - as a general rule I avoid them like the plague (although I've been giving Lost Odyssey a go and it's not all that bad), but I liked Mass Effect. It felt like a blend between real time and turn based gameplay, with the ability to pause time whenever you wanted to assess the battlefield. If they focused on that more in the seuqel, and introduced some kind of survival mode (a la L4d) perhaps, I'd be sold.

Wow... are you sure you 20 because you having the grammar/spelling skills of a 12 year old... Next time run this thing through word before posting, and pictures will help with filler.

FFS uglyduck... ever think english isn't their first language?

Oh, and Mass Effect = best game of the last 5 years.

CelicaCrazed

I'm still waiting for the game to get ported over to the PS3. Of course it'll never come over but I'll keep on waiting.

blehman

Bwahahah celica. Mass Effect, IMHO, is one of the best games this console cycle. Can't wait for 2.

And I'm gonna assume English ain't your first language either.

i heart mass effect

I had fun playing Mass Effect but I wasn't really wowed by it. I think I just got way too hyped over.

My biggest problem with game was the transparent plot. It was cribbed from so many sources that I just couldn't shake the "this is a blatant rip-off of the works of Alistair Reynolds" vibe.

@Uglyduck and Chronoswing

I agree that his grammar isn't stellar, but English clearly is not his first language. My Spanish grammar, my personal "second language", is equally atrocious.

@Celica
Buy a 360 or get the PC version, ME is totally worth it and is probably my favorite game of this generation. I'm on my 6th or 7th playthrough and I'm still enjoying it.
