The Worst RPG Game : Othor Games

» Sat May 28, 2011 4:31 am

Don't get me wrong, I know that visuals didn't make up for how little I liked the other parts of the game, nor did I enjoy all of the characters; personally, I only liked Legion, Thane, Miranda, and Garrus. To me, though, those were the only things that really popped out during the game; I can see why people enjoyed it for other qualities, but I just wasn't one of them.

I can see... Sort of.
I can see people enjoying it as a TPS But not an RPG.
And thats my issue. I played mass effect 1 and enjoyed it. That is the game that got me into Mass effect/Bioware but then they changed that, an thats what ruined it for me. It wasnt the game I liked anymore.
Just like fable 2, I got into fable from fable (tlc) and thats why I got 2, only to find a different game.
Its stupid, devs shouldnt change a game tom kae it that different from the previous installment. Want a shooter make a new game. But if you have people who enjoyed the stat/rpg mechanics you will just loose those fans when you make the next game a shooter. its a great way to alienate your fanbase. And looking at ME2/DA2 BW is doing a good job at it.
I mean its like if I buy a band CD say NIN then get hier next album only to find they are doing J-pop *shudders*.

Legend of Alon Dar.

The dude at the gamestore warned me and i blew him off.

I think i actually cried it was so bad.

More recently i would have to say Mass Effect 2 and Dragon Age.

Which i think is weird because i always liked Bioware games but they need to make up their mind if their going for the Action games crowd or the RPG crowd.

An RPG is more than just Charisma/Paragon/Renegade giving you an extra conversation option to choose from.

I like stats and i like games where they affect not only conversation but combat.

I agree. Choosing what your character says dosent really give the game replay value, not much. And it innt enough to hold p the game for me.
RPGs for me was about plaing a unique character, then when i got bored, I made a new guy, completely different. If you dont have many stats and have more reliance on player skil lthan character, it limits it.
Too much for me.

I liked Tali and Samara also, in addition to the characters you mentioned. I think ME 2 improved on the original by simplifying the armor and weapons inventory, though maybe it was changed too far in the other direction. The resource gathering was an improvement; no more puttering around a planet surface, then hopping out and trying to decrypt a resource. It was easier to hunt for resources from orbit in ME 2. I enjoyed both ME 1 and 2. The "darker and edgier" approach of ME 2 came close to being excessive for me but overall it worked.

If I could change one thing, it would be the fact that if you don't import a saved game from ME 1, you get default situations in ME 2 that to me were all worse than what I had achieved in ME 1 (but had failed to preserve): the death of Wrex, the death of the Council, and much else. I had played almost a paragon in ME but saw a parallel world in ME 2, most of it negative. Still, I liked ME 2 overall.

I always found ME1 to be darker tbh, I didnt find ME2 dark at all. ME1 was dark due to the mystery, but 2, 2 didnt really have anything going, meeting up with aria, working with cerberus, nope didnt feel adark at all.

Also I missed a quote whoever said borderlands, I cant even call it an rpg, especially whenit was so copy pase, huge, empty, repetative world, with the same things to kill.
Skag.
Skag with new name.
This is a skag but dose fire damage.
This one dose acid damage.

God that game was so repetative. I dont see how people could post about how it was "so addictive" when it was so repetative. I cant see any positives for it aside from artstyle.
And the 10000000000s of guns it boasted, were crap when you find its just "well this gun dose 12 damage, this one dose 13, this one has a slightly different scope" at the end of the day they all shot the same, when they boasted mutliple guns, i expected each to feel unique, and have a slightly differnt playstyle and thats why it was such a big deal. But it was jst like a generic game with slight stat changes.

World of Warcraft, Dragon Age, Mass Effect 1 & 2

This coming from someone who played RPGs since 1992.

The only rpg I didn't care for was Dark Messiah of Might and Magic. I thought it was going to be better then Elder Scrolls (this is why you don't give in to hypes)---I was wrong. I like the combat system but the game could have been better.

World of Warcraft

World of Warcraft isn't even really a RPG. Not at all if you don't play on RP realms..

Any JRPG I've had the misfortune of playing.

Those are really the only RPG's that I could deem as "terrible."

Actually, now that I think of it. Fable 2 and 3 really piss me off. Way to turn an awesome premise of a game, and ruin it. Those two "sequels" can burn in the everlasting lava pits of Oblivion for all I care....

Sacred 2, It's [censored] terrible.

I really don't care for Mass Effect (for 360). It was constantly stuttering, your teams AI was just bad enough to be frustrating, the combat isn't very immersive and thats all i can think of for now. There are definitely good things about the game, but I think it was super overrated. That said, I love Mass Effect 2 and everything about it.

I completely agree.

I didn't like half the characters, combat, mako, or the huge inventory in ME1; story felt superior to ME2 though.

I did not like Mass Effect 2. Boring story and combat, too little character interactions and too looooooong loadtimes.
They're also made the terrible mistake (they're doing it again with Dragon Age II) of putting a default Main character on the cover and in trailers and everywhere else when the character is fully customizable in-game.
If I hadn't seen the trailers and pictures before I played it, I would have spent several hours thinking: "Who the **** is that guy on the cover and why isn't he in the game?"

It was never going to be any more than a linear hack 'n slash game with a couple of skill upgrades. :shrug:

I thought it was a nice game, as long as you're not expecting an RPG or an open world.

I remember my customised Shepard in ME2. He looked like a cancer patient. From then on I vowed to keep the face slider on default...although I only played ME1 and ME2 once, so I haven't yet played with default Shepard.

Cancer is free too, but it's pretty terrible.

:unsure:
I couldn't help but laugh at that

I thought default Shepard looked like a cancer patient.
Though I played as a customized female Shepard so I never got to see the default male in-game. At least Bioware has showed a default female Hawke for DA2 that doesn't look that bad.
