Just because the FPS in Mass Effect 2 is getting decent, doesn't make it an FPS. You may want to consider playing a game like Borderlands, if you want more action in your RPG. It is made by Gearbox, who happens to have a track record doing FPS titles. And no, I don't want a timer in Mass Effect 2. I want to be able to take time to get through levels and pace myself as needed. |
Look at my post above for why I think that scene needed a timer. Also I loved borderlands, one of best games last year.
And yes, I see where Bioware makes RPGs which is perfectly fine. They do an amazing job at immersing the player in the universe they create. But they are alienating an audience like myself. I am willing to bend a bit and do some of the RPG stuff as long as I am rewarded with a meaty action level here and there.
I don't see why you can't trully merge the two genres though. All I am saying is that if its an action sequence, they should strive to make it a top of the line action sequence. Not just do it half assed so people can go back to mining for Platinum and collecting Renegade XP.
