Don't mean to diss you, but have you played the game? It's very much a dice roll...sure, you need to have it in the approximate area of the target, but it's NOT a system like Gears of War: "This isn’t turn based, roll the dice and see what happens, combat. You don’t have to aim precisely either, because hits are still based on dice roll. Mass Effect’s combat is a happy mix of the two" http://www.cinemablend.com/games/360-Review-Mass-Effect-7467.html They tried to blend and disguise the dice roll with the TPS gloss, but it' still basically a dice roll at it's core mechanics. Now, have you played Star Ocean's...for example...That combat engine doesn't seem to be a dice roll, but I could be wrong. Saying Mass Effect isn't a dice roll...is like saying Oblivion or Fable 2 isn't...I don't get that at all...in Fable, you can FPS targets...does that make it a shooter? |
Mass Effect is as much a TPS as say Uncharted or MGS4. Both aren't TPS, but they all are third person games and the main mechanic is third person shooting.
Star Ocean (which I have now but I lot of time into) is definitely completely unlike ME. And yes, I have beaten ME. I still don't think it based on a dice roll.
