lol did they just really compare this game to Heavy Rain? wuuuut?

EDIT:

Ok do people just disagree now for the heck of it lol? They clearly just compared it to Heavy Rain at the bottom of the review...ya know, if you CLICK the red full review link....

So if they didn't do that then please disagree fairies, tell me what they did do.

Ninji5990d ago

I expected a game like this to score this low as it's not a good game at all. They seem to focus too much on TPS and boring+repetitive dialogue. This seems to be a bad year for RPGs (on consoles at least). Maybe later this year we'll be able to play a RPG above mediocrity.

Myst5990d ago

Yeah, I don't see why you'd compare ME2 to Heavy Rain. Meh, you know the majority of the time you won't get a logical answer in return for a disagree.

Saaking5990d ago

Obviously for hits. Don't even click the link.

kaveti66165990d ago

Wtf Ninji. You're gonna judge a game because it steps outside its genre a little or else focuses on one aspect of its genre?

Yeah, most people know that this game is a shooter RPG. For all its minor flaws, the game is still outstanding. It definitely doesn't deserve a 74/100. It deserves at least an 8.5.

Solidus187-SCMilk5990d ago

thats funny. Id expect you to agree with an off base review as im guessing your taste in games is pretty bad.

Natsu X FairyTail5990d ago

Ninji opinion = biased crap not even worth reading.

Cyrax_875990d ago

IIRC, they gave Uncharted 2 a score below 9 too.

mikeslemonade5990d ago

You guys are exactly what is wrong with game reviews. Don't you guys get tired of games getting 9s and 10s all the time. Critics are called critics for a reason. They are suppose to be critical about the game. Giving a 9 or 10 to a developer just lets them know that they don't have to try as hard next time.

And by the way Uncharted 2 is still better.

madmonkey05990d ago

theese guys gave kz2 a 7 too, dont worry too much about their review, its a lot like edge.

starchild5990d ago

When reviews are this far outside of the general consensus you have to wonder if they are just trying to get attention. Nevertheless, it is his opinion, so whatever. Personally, I feel Mass Effect 2 is the best game released this generation.

darkmurder5990d ago

lol hit seeking if the review is this late, lame.

gaffyh5990d ago

No way in hell is ME2 a 7.4. It is at worst a 8.5, and I would class it as a 9.4. Obvious cry for hits.

CrazzyMan5990d ago (Edited 5990d ago )

Some kind of Russian EDGE.

Also, that site has as much hits as n4g.com, because it`s one of the most popular Russian Gaming sites.

Also, i don`t see this review on metacritic for x360 version, only for PC. Now talk about some MetaCritic BIAS.))

huga_muga5990d ago

people have different opinions, i also think ME2 dose not deserve higher than 9, but thats my opinion, doesn't make the game worst.

anyways this site is featured on Metacritic.

PeptoBismol5990d ago

^
different opinions my a$$

Mass Effect 2 is a masterpiece!

Digitaldude5990d ago

^ lol oh what a contradiction. Good game yes, masterpiece, no.

Ravage275990d ago

i think this was the review site that knocked UC2's meta average down from 97 to 96

You`ve never heard the term bogus? Wow, that`s pretty bogus man.

Mo0eY5990d ago

Bogus - noun - to not believe it; fake; sometimes stupid, retarded, and/or dumb.

Example:

PS3 Man: I can't believe that Mass Effect 1/2 aren't on the PS3 yet. That's bogus.
EA: Don't worry - you will see it this Holiday 2010.

Ninji5990d ago

Of course I figured this would happen since it's more of a TPS than a RPG.

chidori6665990d ago

not have game perfect.. mass effect is no excession ;)

DigitalAnalog5990d ago

I may not own a 360 or the game in particular but I can tell when a review site simply wants to get hits. Heck, if I defended Uncharted 2 from such a fiasco back then this should be no exception.

IAMRealHooman572d ago

Bro missing companions: Legion, Grunt, Samara/Morinth, Javik, EDI

anast572d ago

Legion, Zaeed, and Jack are my favorites.

RiseNShine572d ago

To think that Bioware at some point was capable of doing games like this, you see those characters and remember them like good old friends, and now check ME Andromeda, Anthem, Veilguard etc and wonder what the hell happened.

anast572d ago

They lost too much talent.

IAMRealHooman572d ago

some in andromeda are decent, I agree with peebee and Vetra being good companions. Except Liam he's trash tier

anast571d ago

Liam lol I can't stand that dude.

IAMRealHooman571d ago

it's like bitch but your shirt back on, your not blue or spikey get away from me

The 7 Best Western RPGs: Immersive Adventures

RPGs are often huge, sprawling endeavours. With limited playtime, we have to choose wisely, so here's the best western RPGs available today.

SimpleSlave820d ago

"I started playing games yesterday" the List... Meh!

How about a few RPGs that deserve some love instead?
1 - Alpha Protocol - Now on GOG
2 - else Heart.Break()
3 - Shadowrun Trilogy
4 - Wasteland 2
5 - UnderRail
6 - Tyranny
7 - Torment: Tides of Numenera

And for a bonus game that flew under the radar:
8 - Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden

DustMan820d ago

Loved Alpha Protocol in all it's glorious jank. Great game.

SimpleSlave819d ago (Edited 819d ago )

Not only glorious jank, but the idea that the story can completely change depending on what you do, or say, or side with, makes it one of the most forward thinking games ever. The amount of story permutation is the equivalent of a Hitman level but in Story Form. And it wasn't just that the story changed, no, it was that you met completely new characters, or missed them, depending on your choices. Made Mass Effect feel static in comparison.

Alpha Protocol was absolutely glorious, indeed. And it was, and still is, more Next Gen than most anything out there these days. In this regard at least.

Pity.
