Weekly Game Review: Mass Effect

[Fat Ugly Drunk]

While there's a lot of issues in the gameplay that I would love to go on a million hour rant about, I love the story, characters, music, and everything else about the game too much to speak against it.


Oh, and Saren's voice actor, Fred Tatasciore, also does the voice of Baird in gears of war, and Handbanana in Aqua Teen Hunger Force.
Try taking Mass Effect seriously now, when the badguy is a bright yellow serial rapist!

The writing is really fantastic. But the thing is, at the end of the day, it's still a game. The most important part of a game is the gameplay.

It'd be expected of us now to get into some sort of debate about this view, much akin to Shepard and Garrus talking about what they think counts as "right", but it wouldn't be very funny


I'm not saying that the gameplay in Mass Effect is bad, far from it, just having a go at some of the issues that almost stop it from being enjoyable.

I never had any issues with the way the game played. The action seemed about perfect as far as I was concerned. Are your problems mainly related to awkward control/difficulty controlling your squad? Because I couldn't imagine playing the game with a 360 controller.
