[quote=@Dynamo Frokane] I dont think the reviews are [b][i][u]awful[/u][/i][/b] I think the general consensus is that its an above average game but ultimately a disappointment to the franchise. Most of the reviews seem to put it somewhere around 7/10 [/quote] I don't know how the consensus of 7/10 measures as "pretty disappointing." 5/10 is an average, mediocre game. by that metric, 7/10 is quite above average. As far as I've played, the Bioware Standard Plot of "Hey, I need help/find a guy, but I have to help/investigate these 3-4 other groups/people/plants before they can help me" doesn't seem to be that apparent so far, but I've only just recruited Jaal. Combat is pretty fun. Which is important, no matter what babbies cry about. If a game isn't fun, if the mechanics are shit, I'm not sticking around for the gr8 stooree. As for the story, I like it. I like that, [i]as far as I've played[/i], there's no galaxy shattering problems to worry about, just finding the arks/planets and dealing with the kett/anagara conflict along with investigation the Remnant. It's all localized and personal. But these are first impressions. I see the animation problems but they don't bother [i]me, specifically[/i]. I find bad voice acting more egregious than bad animations, and so far bad VA is few and far between. 8/10 not [i]enough [/i]turian babes.
