| Sqrl said: Aaaah once again the actual written review is far more useful than the score. @everyone bitching, Actually read the written portion, his complaints are legit even if his score isn't. |
Amen to that, Sqrl. I saw the OP say it was a horrible review and then read it... And ended up agreeing with most of what he had to say (though the audio part was stupid, buy some real speakers if you're trying to review HD games, asshat).
Then I looked at the score and shook my head... Utterly stupid. Mass Effect has its problems and it's a far from perfect game but I seriously question the motives of anyone who reviews it lower than 7.5 and even that score is a stretch. The game does so much right that you have to overlook a few of its glaring technical issues.
Though I should add that his most valid point is the fact that you can be a complete motherfucker in the game and still opt to be the nice guy at the end. Shame on you, Bioware. Shame shame shame. By that point, your galactic destiny should be decided. It completely invalides that Paragon/Renegade system you got players into during the first 20 hours.
