Hmmm... the reason why I really like Mass Effect is the fact that it plays a lot like Knights of the Old Republic and you have a better menu system on the PC, but Mass Effect 2 looks like it's more shooter oriented now which is a point down for me. I'm pretty sure I won't like this game better than Dragon Age: Origins on PC and I'm probably going to wait for a Steam discount now that I've seen it in action, it's quiet a shame really, I was looking forward to this game and wanted it first day until I saw those game play videos, but shooters are big these days(confuses me tbh since I like all different types of games) so I really can't say much about their decision to make this more Shooter than RPG. |
Don't jump to conclusions. There are other ways to play the game. They have only shown the soldier class which is a master of firearms. The powers in the first game were pretty cumbersome though, so I only played this class myself. But I'm positive they will have fixed the powers for the sequal and it will be something to look forward to. Dragon Age might be more your style, but Mass Effect will be an epic experiance and you shouldn't miss it. :)

I played as a Vanguard, which was a mix of Soldier and Biotic. The first two playthrough's I had Liara with me so I let her use the biotics more. But on my 3rd time around, it was Wrex and Garrus so I used my biotics a lot more and, let me tell you, it IS different when you actually start playing it that way. Throw, Lift, Warp and Barrier were used extensively by me and were different than your average shooter.
Its definitely an RPG with shooter elements, even though the recent vids seem focus on the shooter side more.
