I like to look at metacritic when I’m unsure about buying a game because I find the user comments on there to be really helpful. My problem is that some of the comments just make me go “WTF”. People just seem to spew out non-sense that doesn’t even relate to the game at hand.
So in an effort to let some steam off I though I’d make a “reply” to one of these stupid comments.
k gave it a3:
Same old story, same old song and Danceeeee my friends, this is Ridiculous! I just wasted 50 dollars on this game, and its basically the same stupid Mass Effect one problems, Over-bloated, unfollowable story that’s plagued with the same problems as the first one, you’re telling me they still can’t figure out the AUDIO levels?! I can’t hear half the lines of speech, My character plods around space like playing an old SNES game, whereas you just keep hoping he’ll move alittle faster, or this crummy repaint of the same garbage Bioware tricked me into buying last time called Mass effect. I don’t understand the Hype at all, have you all been paid for you’re time? This game falls far, FAR, short of anything ground breaking like Fallout, Bioware in my opinion, after Dragon age’s slight disappointment < or major disappointment if you bought the Console version like me > Is slipping down hill in quality. It used to be I’d pick up a bioware title just because they put out great games, but now it’s getting to be they put out buggy, lower quality games they expect to patch and make proper? TRY shipping a properly looked over product, instead of trying to pump out game after game. It seems as though the scores are so high maybe due to the fact those that didnt like the first havent brought into the hype, but I did, and let me tell you I regret it already, The excitement the silly articles and scores people have given this game undermine the product itself, They claim in one major Magazine put out by a giant game retailer, that the mechanics people complained of have been removed, but that really only boil down changing the unlocking and hacking parts of the game, Which are two seconds stupid little mini-games, THE ENGINE RUNS THE SAME! Shepard’s choices for looks are still the same generic space-man, the voice actors still grapple with a lore that’s far too overloaded with nuances for anyone really listening to get bored and left feeling as though it was written for people who just click through this garbage they’re calling dialog, Why do I care, I ask them, You’ve hardly even made me feel like I am this character, it’s more like watching a movie you don’t care about, you’re just waiting for the shooting to start, And Thats just about the same as the first game as well BUT WAIT, we need a clip now! oohhh that makes a ton of sense, we don’t overheat now guns use antiqued bullet clips when last installment I had a Assault rifle firing thousands of odd shaped plasma green b.b’s a second. That was the only complain about the gunplay?! Fallout 3 has a better grasp on RPG gunplay then they do over at Bioware, and Bethesda has alittle ways to go still as well! If you’re thinking like me, that It seems people are making this game out to be one of the greatest of all time, try to start thinking of all the games they’ve been using this STUPID new marketing tactic on us, the communal memory of our glorious public about 5 seconds, We forget they just released the best game of all time two weeks ago, and three weeks before that, and two months prior to that Another Greatest game of all time was Uncharted, OR ANY other big huge media spend fest, if you give these guys a few bucks, They shout Its The Best! yeah right… Avoid Mass Effect 2, it’s horrible
Now let’s pick apart the really stupid bits in this waste of data comment.
I just wasted 50 dollars on this game, and its basically the same stupid Mass Effect one problems, Over-bloated, unfollowable story that’s plagued with the same problems as the first one,
The story really isn’t that complex K, I can understand people not quiet getting what is going on if they didn’t play the first game but you just said you did play the first game. What confuses you K? Do you also get confused reading Dr Seuss books?
I can’t hear half the lines of speech, My character plods around space like playing an old SNES game, whereas you just keep hoping he’ll move alittle faster, or this crummy repaint of the same garbage Bioware tricked me into buying last time called Mass effect.
Your also probably one of the fools who complain they can’t read the text on a SD TV. Don’t blame the game, blame your equipment.
K you can “storm” when you press the A button it will make you run faster for a short period. Maybe you should learn the game controls.
How does someone trick you into buying a game especially when you hated the first one? God that’s like being tricked into jumping off a building for fun when you break your leg the first time only to do it again 2 years later?
It seems as though the scores are so high maybe due to the fact those that didnt like the first havent brought into the hype, but I did, and let me tell you I regret it already,
In what fucking universe does that even make sense in!? Why don’t you go wrap your head in tin foil.
They claim in one major Magazine put out by a giant game retailer, that the mechanics people complained of have been removed, but that really only boil down changing the unlocking and hacking parts of the game, Which are two seconds stupid little mini-games, THE ENGINE RUNS THE SAME!
Those are called game mechanics and yes the stuff people complained about were removed. Such as the Mako and the annoying inventory system! I don’t think anyone really complained about the hacking in the first game!
the voice actors still grapple with a lore that’s far too overloaded with nuances for anyone really listening to get bored and left feeling as though it was written for people who just click through this garbage they’re calling dialog, Why do I care, I ask them, You’ve hardly even made me feel like I am this character, it’s more like watching a movie you don’t care about, you’re just waiting for the shooting to start,
Now we’re getting too the truth! You even hate the awesomely written dialogue of the game, something which Bioware really excels at. Which also happened to by done by great voice actors! But nooooo you just want to shoot shit, so why didn’t you just buy Modern Warfare 2 you mouth-breather
we need a clip now! oohhh that makes a ton of sense, we don’t overheat now guns use antiqued bullet clips when last installment I had a Assault rifle firing thousands of odd shaped plasma green b.b’s a second.
Did you really play the game at all or are you just stupid? The clips are “thermal clips” that means that the guns do still have unlimited ammo but you need thermal clips to take away the heat generated when you fire your guns. If you didn’t have any thermal clips you would break your gun. This is much faster than waiting for your gun to cool down like in the first game.
fallout 3 has a better grasp on RPG gunplay then they do over at Bioware, and Bethesda has alittle ways to go still as well! If you’re thinking like me, that It seems people are making this game out to be one of the greatest of all time, try to start thinking of all the games they’ve been using this STUPID new marketing tactic on us,
Ugh back to guns again. The gunplay was so much better in this game than the last but you still seem to hate it. Also the gunplay in Fallout 3 is really average when you didn’t use V.A.T.S., that’s what made Fallout 3 so fun to play.
I don’t remember anywhere where Bioware said this was the greatest game of all time! Their marketing slogan for this game was “Fight of the Fallen”. Now some magazines and people may have claimed this was the greatest game of all time but then that’s really down to personal tastes isn’t it!?
In finishing I’d like state that you sir are a moron of epic proportions. I think you should stick to games where you can tea-bag people online and laugh along with the rest of your primate buddies. Try not to construct any criticism of anything in the future because you fail on so many levels.
