I am trying really hard With Mass Effect
12 years ago
this game is driving me nuts,
I want to enjoy it, the 1st mass Effect,
so far it's just walkin and talkin....and that's okay
the story just seems like any other episode of star trek
which I like, but most of the land in this game is so ugly
and bland and the gameplay so far is atrocious, I'm
about 9 hours into it by the way, but my NPCs are the
dumbest fucks ever.
I tell them to hid behind a rock while shooting and they jump
right out in front of on coming bullets, they can only live for
about 15 seconds before I have to take over the entire battle,
they never gain experience they have the highest equipment I
can give them for the moment.... and at one point "swear to God"
they vanished completely from the game, I tried to regroup and
reposition, even backtracked like a motherfucker to find they just
fell off of the game, I had to die so that I could reload all the
characters.
and right now is the worst, I just saved the last girl in my team,
can't remember her name, shes a green alien gal I just released
from some kind of stasis prison only to be thrown into one of
the dumbest fucking battles. Big shark man comes in with about 5 geth
robot people and is hell bent on fighting because that's what they do
they are the Klingons of the game, only to learn that all my characters
die within the first 7 seconds....this is not an exageration either, none
of my characters neither the character I just saved will last more then
7 seconds, I can last at least a good 12-15 simply because I know how
to duck and cover and strategize. when the battle starts every character
will run all over and die OR they will all group hug me die in front of me
and prevent me from moving, also I found a really terrible bug in the game, when covering against a wall you can't shoot, you have to pull yourself off of a wall then aim and shoot rather then just aim and shoot,
this is annoying especially when you have fairly quick aim and accuracy in
most shooting games like this, and I love the sniper rifle even for close
range attacks, because I'm good with this type of fighting, however
this seems so broken in this game what with the range and accuracy of
the guns, I respect that if it's the case of adding a sense of realism to the
game but so far I'm mostly just pissed off that my NPCs wont get the fuck out of my way.
fall back,
regroup,
take your positions,
these are terms that my characters do not understand no matter
how loud Shephard screams it at them.
I don't know......
maybe things will get better by mass Effect 2,
the only reason I'm playing through this is because I know I'll
love the ending that everyone hates, simply because I'm hating
the parts everyone apparently loves.
I think I'm like a magnet with an opposite polarity then everyone
else, what ever attracts to most folks will repel against me.

Just wondering, do you play on Xbox or PC? I can't say I ever had that problem with your team disappearing.
Also what class have you been playing Sheperd, and what difficulty?
and the difficulty is on Normal.
3 was good until the last 5 minutes.
If I could somehow staple Mass Effect's story onto the Fallout 3/New Vegas engine, I would be a happy VK.
At least,that's the only reason I can think of that such a boring,uninteresting game got so popular. The story's boring,the combat's a joke (I broke the whole damn thing in 5 seconds when I found out it was a modified FPS engine crudely hammered into a 3PS engine),and I don't really care about the sex scenes since there's now tons of ME porn all over the interweb that's much better. And I already know the ending. So,really,what's the point? I'd rather play a game that's fun to play.
Like Farcry 3:Blood Dragon.
Also, there's no way you'll like the ME3 ending. It's impossible!
But, yes, the Krogan Battlemaster is ridiculously difficult, especially if you haven't been exploring and leveling (which all MEs are about.)
I just had a few rough trips with the first one,
I'm moving on to 2 now, 10 hours of ME1 I think
I get the jist, I'm 3 hours into 2, I think I've made a
good decision on the transition. lol.
Though I'm keeping myself busy with side quests << I usually spend the entire time running around a game lost anyways, so at least I'm accomplishing something ha.
similar feelings about the game.
well, I got about 7-8 hours in the first game and decided i would move on to 2.
played about 27 hours into it, got all the characters and had my stats fairly high, but just
kinda got bored with it and gave up, it's an okay game, but I just got to where I didn't care.
just plugged up the 3rd one last night and holy shit is it such a better game,
the style the layout the design, it feels totally different from the other 2, I'm about 2 and half
ours into it and I gotta say, changes where made for the better, plus I like how well
paced it's been too.
oh and Liara's tits are so huge in the 3rd one, sorry I'm a bit of a perv, but wow it's so obvious how
intentional that was, plus shes just a cutey in 3,
and I always have a butch gay female Shepard so it works out, lol.
also, in truth, if Seth Green and Keith David had not come back I don't think I would be
enjoying it like I am now, so far though, it's more well paced the npc characters seem to listen
a lot better and for some strange reason I find myself having a bit more patience with battles too.
all in all, I think I could have played 3 and only 3 and would have been happy, though I do like
learning a bit about the alien races, they all have their own significances about them, but as for
a game over all I'm sticking with 3.
But Liara's tits ffffff I wonder why they did that haha.
Oh and while I'm at it, if you continue the same Shepard through all 3 games are there any real benefits? I kinda want to start a female Shepard in the next one but I dunno if it matters.
in fact, creating a brand new Shepard in ME2 is actually cooler,
not to mention it benefits the story as to how she/he comes back.
honestly though I just enjoying seeing the new hairstyles they have in
each new game, I always like having a bit of variety with my character
so I really enjoyed seeing her different each time. but for some reason,
I just couldn't enjoy the male shepard, not sure why, just some of the
scenarios are so elegant and heart felt that the scenes feel more
suited for a tough woman, at least for me it did.
not sure what the problem was but her eyelashes would blink without the eyelids,
and this was in every close up scene, this problem no longer occurred in the 3rd game.
but thinking of crazy eyes, i don't think they get much crazier then that. lol.
but I do like the idea you've came up with, lol.
