To be honest I have found Mass Effect to be pretty lackluster from the beginning, and the game's theme/genre/style falls into my tastes very well. Going by how pleased everyone was on this site with what they were seeing I basically just decided not to deal with the game since I didn't want to piss people off by just posting my plain and simple opinion. But with someone else voicing a similar opinion I feel like I should at least go on the record as saying I am not even remotely interested in this game. Hopefully if I comment down the road it won't seem like I am coming out of nowhere. I actually tried pretty hard to find something enjoyable about the game and I mean I really looked deep because it does suit my tastes on the surface.
Actually if you go over my posts I think this is one of the first times I have even talked about or mentioned the game, although if you go back far enough to the GoTY discussions I don't think I mentioned it at the time but part of my frustration with the GoTY awards was the fact that this game was doing so well and looked so bland to me.
I hope the game is great and you guys love it, but despite it being the perfect type of game for me I am just completely uninterested. Hopefully nobody takes offense to me having an opinion on the game, and I have tried to keep my comments tame but you never know what a fanboy is going to latch onto lol.
Anyways, I pretty much agree with their assessment.
PS - Before anyone gives me a hard time about the Bioshock/MP3 reviews and points to this as proof that some people don't like some games (which it is proof of). Just know that I would never write a review of a game I didn't like from the outset unless it completely changed my opinion. I would hope most all professional reviewers are objective enough to turn down a review when they don't feel they can prevent their bias from affecting their score. All game's should be reviewed with a fair and open mind, I'm sure 360 fans wouldn't want me reviewing this game after reading this post any more than I would want a Metroid hating Xbot reviewing MP3
