Forums - Gaming - Mass Effect combat difficulty to be ramped up, AI unpredictable.

http://gamingbolt.com/mass-effect-4s-combat-teased-by-bioware-developer-may-be-challenging

Looks like the combat will be more challenging in the fourth main title game.

Super excited, I hope EA gives it a HUGE showing at E3!

They're talking about ally AI. So dumb it makes the game harder.

J/k, but about ME1, Shepard may as well have been the only character in the game.



Go to cover, wait until enemy pops up or moves... shoot them. Win. Yeah, the AI could be improved.

Mass Effect never was hard when it came to combat. Only issue came from being swamped or how much actual damage an enemy does in the hardest difficulty. (Never got past Horizon on ME2 on Insanity, did that import already leveled character on ME3 so did that easily.)



Hmm, pie.

Haha yeah it got a bit silly, especially in ME1. ME2 was better.

ME3 didn't show much further improvement though.

No, no that sounds about right.

Same song and dance we've seen from other developers, but I'll believe it when I see it.



As long as they have an easy mode for nubs like me, that's fine...

Yeah they will probably have the 'story-focus' mode again.

I have never tried it, but in my head it sounds like you walk between trailers

If you've played a first-person shooter from the past six years, you've played story mode.



EA, no thanks.
