Mass Effect

It's like KotoR and GoW had a sexy baby. Great story and good graphics, but I think Mario is more "fun".

All this talk of story and cinematics makes me want to run away from this game. If you really care about roleplaying play a pen and paper RPG, I want gameplay. Is it more Gears of War with character advancement or a J-RPG?

It's been a while since Spo has made such a retarded comment in gaming discussion. Way to go.

So you're saying no one should ever care about stories in games, and if we do we should go play pen and paper RPGs? Yeah that's entirely reasonable.

I can understand you not giving a damn about a good story, in fact it fits you, but that comment was retarded.

No. I said if you care about roleplaying you should play a pen and paper RPG instead of a limited computer simulation of a pen and paper RPG. As for stories in games, I said I don't care for them. A game's story isn't at all a selling point for me.

Oh, that's right, I forgot RPG's haven't been proven to be successful or enjoyable on a videogame platform. Spo, thanks for reminding me of that.

Low bitrate MP3's have proven to be successful and enjoyable as well; that doesn't mean people looking for great-sounding music should use them.

Are you really trying to argue that videogame RPG's cannot possibly offer a great and enjoyable experience?

I'm stating, pretty clearly I thought, that a limited copy will never be as good as the genuine article. If you're looking for roleplaying you're going to get more out of pen and paper roleplaying (where no limitations exist and you're interacting with other human beings) than videogame roleplaying (where everything is limited to what the designers want you to do and you're interacting with computer code).
