I have to go with mass effect 2. The game itself wasnt terrible. But after playing mass effect 1 I kind of assumed mass effect 2 would be a rpg. It was such a disappointment that they made it into a action adventure game.
p.s. next year at this time i will probably say dragons age 2. From what i have seen so far from that game they are going to mass effect 2 it.

I'm glad someone else is noticing this as well, Dragon Age 2 will be Mass Effect 2 all over again, a watered down sequel that has only fragments of a skeleton of an RPG left with focus on Hollywoodesque action with button spamming, to appeal to a broader audience (like I've explained in other threads eariler though, RPG's are the last genre you want to water down, you're going to end up with games that no one wants, too complex for the more casual gamer and too shallow for RPG fans).

It'll be far more tragic if Dragon Age 2 becomes an action style RPG. The original ME was already an RPG/shooter hybrid. It was an average-good RPG with poor shooter elements tacked on. It wasn't too far a stretch to get to ME2 and it became a true hybrid rather then an RPG with poor shooter bits.
Dragon Age on the other hand is a very solid turn-based and traditional RPG with no pure action elements whatsoever. Jumping to a hack n' slash is a ridiculous leap to take.
