You obviously didn't play any of it. How can you say it was boring?
There were people talking! There was an entire 4 minutes of people talking without an explosion! OMG! In Halo 3 there are explosions every third sentence!

Ah, here it comes. I don't like Mass Effect because there's like, dialog and stuff. God forbid I find it a boring game that does neither RPG nor shooter elements very well.There were people talking!

But go on, keep thinking you have some kind of refined taste because you enjoy a shooter/RPG hybrid more than I do.
Doesn't on Steam
Actually, I kinda expected dragonfliet's exact response. Sad that most people don't defend real RPG's like he did.You made a completely unqualified negative statement about a game in a thread full of people talking about how much they loved the game. What did you expect to happen, genius?
Sure. Deus Ex. Better in setting, art direction, level design, and multiple paths. Worse in voice acting and shiny graphics.If you don't want people to assume that you got bored with the game because you're a drooling Halo fanboi, you could at least give examples of some games you enjoyed more and actually explain why Mass Effect didn't appeal to you.
Anyone that said it did was wrong. All the games EA placed on Steam themselves have SecuROM either disabled or removed (by disabled, I mean it's still present in the executable but does not activate).That's news to me, people where saying it did when it was released.. have they removed it? or where people mistaken?
From what I hear of Mass Effect
True, but those "others" are people who share my tastes on RPGs. Nothing wrong with saving your time from playing a likely bad game based on opinions you agree with.You're basing your opinions on what others have said.
Perhaps another time. I have a backlog of games that I want to play.Play it, (actually talk to Joker and get a little farther) then judge.
I seriously could not get past the first mission.
No, the game was just that boring for me.

I should have been more clear. I played as far as after your contact with the beacon, and when you could choose three flavor descriptions of your dreams afterward.I'm mocking you because you could not get past the first mission because it was apparently too boring to talk to a few people before the giant ship
I'd rather the first twenty minutes of a game be fun before continuing. Otherwise, it's a waste of my time. Deus Ex (I actually played it for the first time May of this year, so let's not speak of rose-tinted glasses) and Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines (better writing and voice-acting, serviceable combat) both grabbed me in this time, and neither were about mindless action.Of course ME had a long litany of flaws, but if you say something isn't good based upon you getting bored and not being able to finish the first twenty minutes of the game it says a lot more about you being ADD than it does about the game.
Hah. If you were wondering if the game changes drastically after those 30 minutes(there is a lame driving segment, apparently Halo dictates all future shooters have vehicle segments), it doesn't. Deus Ex didn't change, and thats why it hooked me to the end. Vampire became a dungeon crawl toward the end, but was awesome before.For example, to this day I have not played farther than 30 minutes into Gears of War.
Eesh, a "series of doorway shootouts?" Unless the basic shooting mechanics are absolutely sublime (which in my time they weren't), I'm not wasting my time.
I dunno. I wouldn't say it has the strongest combat gameplay ever, but it's more realistic than many other games. Most of the time the environments you fight in in real life are going to be boring, mundane locations. Maybe not as mundane as Mass Effect sometimes is... but considering the locations, I don't see that as a real weakness to the game. You're mostly fighting around military bases on various worlds.Yeah, the combat leaves a lot to be desired if you are used to actually playing games with a lot of combat. But, I don't want to turn you off of it if you were actually thinking of giving it another go

The RPG elements I thought were fine, but weren't refined to the PC as much as I would have liked. You can't to multiple select in the inventory, there is no really good item compare system and reaching the inventory limit is easy-peasy. Still, I don't think it's all that weak, the fact that it isn't as strong as in some other RPGs doesn't automatically make it awful. Remember Oblivion prior to modders fixing all the UI problems?
