I am probably one of the people that does not like the direction they went with in the second mass effect game. Played up the shooter elements and played down the rpg and exploration parts. If i wanted to play halo or gears of war of would play those and not mass effect. Damn EA. I knew something like this would happen. Well there is always DragonAge Origins, and final fantasy XIII to look forward to.
Damn though the second time bioware screwed things up on creating a perfect trilogy. Last time was Kotor by handing off the second game to Obsidian and some crappy mmo replaced the third game.
Plus the characters in ME2 don't act like the same people from the first game, and they listened to the whiners about the mako and hard sci fi elements and dumbed it down for the 5 second attention span people who thought the new star trek was the kewlest evah!.LOL.
If i wanted a dumb action game ala GTA in space i would not be playing a mass effect game. They ruined mass effect the same way Lucas has ruined star wars and indiana jones, bay has ruined transformers and jj has ruined star trek.
