Mass Effect 2 is not an RPG.

It has the combat dept and complexity of WoW.

The first two levels of WoW that is.

If you want to call it an RPG be my guest, but you are just downgrading other real RPG games out there. If we call ME2 an rpg we might as well call Infamous RPG.

Its more of a shooter then an RPG, but that is what Mass Effect should have been in the first place.

Oh,you again Revan_911?

Yes,yes,we already know you don´t like ME2...and guess what? We don´t care.

Bye now.

Agreed.
The Mass Effect series' strength lies in its presentation, not in the depth of its choices. Mass Effect 2 might've simplified a lot of the RPG elements, but that suited the game well.

I'm not sure if I'd go as far as calling it "not an RPG", but as soon as player skill started determining how good you were in combat...eh, perhaps that's an accurate description.

*edit* Still, it had some interesting ideas. If the interrupt system was expanded upon, allowing you to choose from a number of different options (rather than just "left click for badness, right click for goodness"), then that could be very useful for other RPGs. More choices is always a good thing.

It's an action role-playing game.

just a question wouldnt comparing it to WOW make it an RPG since WOW is a MMORPG?

I'm pretty sure it's a fact that ME2 is an Action RPG. There nothing to agree or disagree. The fact that you keep calling ME2 a shooter while not listening to our post mean you're a troll. Hell right now I'm feeding you. It got enough RPG elements to be an RPG. It just more of a shooter.

Mass effect is a shooter first. RPG second

Its RPG elements are very weak.

And Final Fantasy is a turn based strategy game, Morrowind is a hack'n slash game, Fallout is a shooter, Baldur's Gate is a real time strategy game. By your logic, none of them is an RPG game, so I have to ask the question - what is an RPG game by your standards?Supafly1

Sure its not quite like other RPGs with how majorly toned down the RPG elements are, but its still an excellent game.

[QUOTE="toast_burner"][QUOTE="Revan_911"] Inventory, Items, Classes, Levels , Spells (2 spells doesn't make an RPG), Trading, Open worlds, potions, quests,. I know that ME2 had some of these elements, but in the end it felt like playing a lesser version of Gears of War. That's what i didn't like.Revan_911

Damnit why do I even bother.

[QUOTE="Revan_911"][QUOTE="toast_burner"] Are you serious? Open worlds, potions (WTF) how do those make it a RPG? and mass effect has quests they are called missions insteadVaasman

Damnit why do I even bother.

ME had spells they were called Bionic and Tech powers. ME2 had about three in the whole game. Push, Pull , Overload. That's it.Revan_911
