I like the concept behind this game, but that being said, the start of the article sounds like someone spends way too much time on two specif subsites of two popular websites, one involving the letter b and the other one involving the word gaming.
Sterling has degraded in quality. He's now just a hateful, spiteful guy who tries to start stuff. This kind of crap is exactly why I stopped reading the crap he writes.
He's a professional troll, and GR would be good to sever ties with him.
@db1331: have you seen the gameplay demos? At first glance, I thought the same, but then Shepard was at a work bench a la KOTOR. In fact, it worked just like it. You had different parts that went in different places, that then changed the weapon.
And the leveling system is vastly more RPGish now too. Instead of just trees that branch at the end, each thing has like 8 options. For example, the solder's "combat mastery" class now has 9 options. You can improve persuasion, damage, power duration, or mix lesser improvements of any two of those three (so more persuasive and do more damage)
That's the exact opposite of ME2's "choose what bullet you want to shoot" and "pick from 2 guns, one that lets you hold the trigger and one that makes you pump"
they're both unprofessional acts. One 'reviewed' a game in way that sounds like he's trying to say "Hey, look at me! I write edgy things! Buy my book!"
The other trashed the book the guy plugged, which was also unprofessional.
In a sense, it sounds like they both slammed something they didn't fully or at all actually experience for less than good motives. One was revenge, the other was to try and make more money.
Probably someone at Nintendo realized that the song, when played backwards, sounds pretty good, so they had people make an epic version of the song, then played it backwards.
Actually, according to an IGN article, it's "significantly' more powerful than current gen systems, which would mean that it's "next gen." Considering the Tech Loaded on the PS3 and 360, this won't be hard: my phone has more RAM than my PS3.
I never had that hard of a time doing anything. I mean, I guess doing row after row of those rings in the training level was hard, but everything else wasn't so hard.
Wrex does pop up though. He's in that mission that was in the demo at E3.
