| leatherhat said: ME2 isn't even as good as the first. Its so linear and the overall plot is a bore., and the rpg elements have been striped out to the point where its barely playing lip service to the genre. Its not as good as Dragon age and certainly not as good as older wrpgs. Certainly not GOTY material... or maybe saying it is GOTY material with todays standards would be more insulting. |
Or as others would put it, "one big recruitment," while Mass Effect was a real RPG with cool bosses such as the Thorian, Benezia, and Saren.
Still though, I think Mass Effect 2 was a well produced game. Top notch production obscuring the fact Mass Effect 2 feels like one big Mass Effect 3 prequel by getting the crew member recruitment out of the way so Mass Effect 3 can focus on the war with the Reapers.
Personally, I think the originality of Red Dead Redemption gives it the GoTY in my book. It is much more than "GTA on horses." Hell, Red Dead Redemption is better than any GTA game to date because it takes all the negatives minus melee combat and turns them into positives.
