It's okay to have opinions and people are certainly entitled but those thinking that ME2 was overhyped--in my opinion, ME2 tops each and every PS3 exclusive (360 exclusives, too) to claim the top spot this generation.  I don't think it's overhyped at all.  Those that are interested and play through it are likely to agree.  Those who come in looking to hate it have my pity. With the money to buy any game on the market, a backlog of unfinished games as long as my arm, and every console on the market (this gen) at my disposal, I'm playing ME2 again.  That's how good I think this game is.

I'm hoping people look past the fact that it's a year old and pick up this game.  It would be a shame if they didn't.


Uncharted 2


Yeah.  I got that one, too.  Played through it once.  Enjoyed it a lot for the time it lasted.  But IGN said ME2 was better than Uncharted 2 and I agree.

-Oh, and I have Flower, too.

i didnt yet play me2.

but atleast we can agree that psychonauts>me2.



Being in 3rd place never felt so good

Bargin bin and bundling....that's the ticket...I sure hope it was worth it to EA (a company who is STILL losing so much money), to lose the financial support from M$ in promoting the game as an psuedo-exclusive.  I wonder if ME3 will match even match sales of ME2?

Wow, keep crying.

i guess it is diapointing numbers for such a well respected game,from what i read on here its worth playing but i'm not paying full wack and i'm snowed under in rpgs so it can wait

not playing the 1st one doesn't help either as whatever people say it has an effect for the rpg nerds,if  only i had a decent pc,i would have already played ME

Maybe Mass Effect 2 isn't as amazing or incredible as so many people hyped it to be. Same goes for Bioshock.

I'm a PS3 owner who was excited to finally be playing an installment in the hugely reverred ME series, and purchased ME2 at launch on PS3. And I have definitely been enjoying the game, but I don't think it's anything all that spectacular or groundbreaking to be honest with you; or at least it's not quite GotY material (imo). Thus far in my playtime, my assessment would be that it's a fairly-solid game with some solid shooting mechanics with (dissapointingly) light RPG elements. The story and universe is obviously very well-constructed, and as are the characters, the dialog, the facial animations, etc. Great game overall, but the amount of RPG depth (or lack thereof) is a downer.

I also felt that Bioshock was overhyped/overrated when I finally bought that after all the hype preceding it.

Many think that.  Heck, I thought it during most of my first playthrough on Veteran.  Why?  Because you CAN get through the game just playing at as a TPS for the most part.  But try Hardcore or definitely Insanity and you'll come to see that its a fantastic WRPG with a great TPS combat system.  Played through it 3 times so far.  Trust me.

Oh and people may have gotten superior games like LBP2 instead in the same timeframe

this.

 

Mass Effect surely is in Top 10 or even in Top 5 of Xbox 360. I liked it. But IMO, isn't even one of the best games of PS3.

This was hyped to hell because this was released in march on x360. Now it's rereleasing in the same time at Killzone 3, LittleBigPlanet 2 and even after Gran Turismo 5(not everyone buys 1 game every month).

What exclusives were released in 2010 for x360? And for PS3? I don't need to go further...

Sorry if this is considered to be flame...it's not my intention to troll, only trying to undertand the psychological effect on ME2 in the 2 differet plataforms.

best 2010 xbox exclusives were splinter cell,  mass effect and halo reach those 3 games are better than anything thats came out on ps3 since mgs4
