with a decent storyline, but the story arc was terrible


Eh? What's the difference between a storyline and a story arc? I don't follow you here.


the storyline is the story that's running through the game, ie the whole reaper thing. the storyarc is how the story is told or unfolds etc.

so basically i like the story continuing from ME of the reapers and the end of sentient life. what i didn't like in ME2 was how the story was told and how and when it was told

the first act consisted of recruiting some party members, then being told a little more story, then get some more party members and learn a little bit more etc. the story and the game wasn't well structured or perhaps it was structured exceptionally boringly, either way you didn't get compelling moments like at the frozen planet chasing the asari matriarch or saving the frontier planet from the thorian. it just felt like lots of little side missions rather than a mission as a whole.

that's what i meant by storyarc in ME2, simply the way the story was told and the pacing of it etc.

For a second, I thought they were adding content. Then I realized it was Bioware. Ghavrel - 05/05/2011 12:40:27 AM 865 Views

ME3 will fully morph three genres: RPG, Shooter and Bejeweled. Zalis - 05/05/2011 02:23:13 PM 753 Views
agreed KingGeedorah - 23/05/2011 04:19:48 AM 887 Views
That is not what Zalis was saying. At all. *NM* lord-of-shadow - 23/05/2011 04:37:28 AM 339 Views
I'm in agreement with the delay towards making the game more shooter friendly... KingGeedorah - 23/05/2011 09:51:38 AM 764 Views
I do love it A Deathwatch Guard - 05/05/2011 08:42:09 PM 743 Views
It seems like they're losing a more valuable market (imho) for the larger one. Fox and Ravens - 05/05/2011 09:03:48 PM 851 Views

I'm a pessimist; I believe things are constantly getting worse A Deathwatch Guard - 06/05/2011 05:40:38 AM 824 Views
Yeah, they're saving me sixty bucks with comments like the one in the link... lilltempest - 23/05/2011 05:51:35 PM 1098 Views
I gotta agree with one of the comments in there ironclad - 23/05/2011 09:47:54 PM 861 Views
But that comment is someone's interpretation, not what they're actually doing A Deathwatch Guard - 24/05/2011 05:38:00 AM 1041 Views

I think they realized that if they brought out ME3 anytime aournd Skyrim, no one would care. *NM* MightyYT - 05/05/2011 06:59:31 PM 337 Views

Releasing at the same time as Skyrim wouldn't hurt it too much. The only ones they'd lose out on... lord-of-shadow - 05/05/2011 08:49:16 PM 802 Views

Nah. I love RPGs, but I'm okay with the series not being a "real" RPG. Zalis - 05/05/2011 10:02:35 PM 782 Views

I'm ok with it as well. To a certain extent. lord-of-shadow - 05/05/2011 10:18:24 PM 942 Views
E3 anticipations... KingGeedorah - 05/05/2011 10:10:29 PM 984 Views
Skill trees don't concern me. The ability to make meaningful decisions concerns me. *NM* Ghavrel - 05/05/2011 10:25:14 PM 356 Views
Is it bad... Jeordam - 05/05/2011 10:42:31 PM 864 Views
It shows that you are a gentleman of discerning taste. Ghavrel - 06/05/2011 02:49:39 AM 781 Views
Still playing thru DArigins, I'd say it plays more like KotOR than Baldur's Gate. Zalis - 06/05/2011 03:20:49 PM 772 Views
hope you're playing it on the computer. KingGeedorah - 07/05/2011 03:48:59 PM 809 Views
Yep-on the PC. The removal of the strategic cam view sounds obnoxious in DA2. Probably won't play. *NM* Zalis - 07/05/2011 04:57:02 PM 389 Views
Only removed on console versions. PC version still has it. *NM* lord-of-shadow - 09/05/2011 05:58:52 AM 341 Views

That was going to be my question too. *NM* Jacob - 10/05/2011 06:07:48 PM 343 Views

I am far more interested in a quite a few games that'll be out toward the end of 2011 Jacob - 10/05/2011 06:10:02 PM 756 Views
