The difference is Monti actually played the game while we found out he never actually played the game but rather the demo.

I don't know him at all or his posting habits.  I see a negative infamous thread full of fan boys trying to bring up mass effect to counter the OP and then i see a day later a whole thread about the game pop up (with a negative review), like the OP said its just the mother of coincidences.  Why are you trying to eat me out about it

Ok, you call somebody without any grounds a troll and I'm the one who's trying to eat you out....

Like i said it was a bad coincidence then

I think you should approach this game as a RPG mainly not an action game, because from what you say it looks like you wanted to play a shooter ( i hate that battle system) with RPG Elements. I personally only played around 10 hours due to exams, but that game is incredible nearly as good as KOTOR. Its just not a shooter.

Fighting its the only thing that really pisses me off in ME and Fallout 3, why did they make a shooters out of it..

-Fighting is really random. The Sniper Rifle is nearly impossible to aim. It feels like my character is having a seizure while he's aiming it. Plus, hit detection seems kind of wonky. I have to be very close to my opponents to even hurt them, while they can down me from really far away.

I can't comment on sniping as i used mostly bionics

-It's too hard. The game started out really easy, but now it's different. In nearly every fight I'm in, both of my allies get shot a few times and immediately die. Then I have to take on the enemies all by myself, popping in and out of cover to occasionally shoot my assault rifle.

I did find it got harder to,  i turned the difficulty down and it was alot better, playing through it on new game+ though was way to easy. I mostly one shot everything

-Exploring planets is about as much fun as watching a bowl of pudding. All the planets I've been to are just a series of hills and the occasional mineral deposit.

I agree the planets are terribly small and bare, i mostly skipped doing all that.

So does the game get better the more I play it, or is this pretty how much it is from then on out? I love the RPG elements and improving my character, but the traveling aspect is dreadful and enemies are broken.

The game has an amazing story line and gets very interesting, im not going to spoil it since i don't know how far you got.  It was good enough where i played through it twice to hit the level cap

I'm probably just playing the game wrong then. If the story is good, I'll keep going then. I just don't like Wrex, he's so ugly looking.

The game starts slow, i found it boring in the begining a bit to,  I played with the classes for awhile before i really got into the game. I didn't find sniping very fun though.  Throwing people across the room was much more my taste.  Ha i didn;t like wrex either

Remove the Film Grain effect, and marvel at Wrex on a nice HDTV.

Ha i forgot about the film grain... Yea thats the first thing i turned off
