Not him but ME2 is pretty overrated. The story is just transitional and only there to limp into ME3, the character themselves however are very well written for the most part. They also stripped the game of it's fun RPG elements for the most bare bones shit I've seen in some time kind of ruining the uniqueness of a lot of people's Sheps.

Kaiden and Ashley are barely in the game, you see them in like a handful of scenes.

And Kai Leng was in 3, not two. The assassin guy in 2 was a really well developed character.
>>
>>340255804
Kaiden and Ashley were poorly written but I think that's partly because they're only in the game for about 5 seconds.

As for Thane he was written exceptionally well and is one of the most liked characters in the ME series.

He was one of the only characters in the universe that actually felt like he had a grip on events happening around him and he could clearly handle himself in a fight. Him and Samara are probably the best squad mates introduced in ME2.

You can do that to literally any character in any format ever. It's not a valid criticism to boil them down to their base tenets and then go "they're shit", while ignoring the actual character itself.

This, a character's characteristics are not indicative of how well they are written

How was it disappointing? You should have known for the start it was going to be utter shit when its main selling point is about being an edgy movie like hacker. On top of that it's a Ubisoft game.

>>340255341
Mass Effect's "RPG elements" were not worth shit to begin with. The inventory and skill system was fucking garbage.
Tossing away the inventory and focusing class skills made the game better.

This shit bouquet was the biggest disappointment of the last 5 years for me. I was stupidly hyped for this game when they announced it like 3 years ago.

Fuck this game. I'm sure the DLC will make it better, but with a $60 price tag originally it's not worth it.
>>
>>340256503
I agree with Stellaris. It was hyped up here massively, so I gave it a download, and it was just really disappointing. Stopped being interesting straight after the early game, felt like it was lacking heaps of systems and interesting content.

Plus, the research system was fucking stupid, and made it difficult to actually design your empire to specialise in a certain thing, because you ended up just researching random shit.
>>
>>340256448
The inventory was only garbage if you didn't keep it clean and the the skill system was great, it meant that even if two Sheps were the same class they could play differently if they focused on different skills. In ME2 two Sheps who pick the same class will play nearly identical because of the lack of skills.
>>
>>340256292
>a character's characteristics are not indicative of how well they are written

>>340256741
Forgot to add that the inventory system allowed even further customization with how weapon mods and ammo types were handled.

>>340257012
He's right. A character can have generic characteristics and still be fleshed out well and exceptionally well written.

Same as you can have a character with less generic characteristics that's still written incredibly badly.
>>
>>340255189
The weird thing is that game actually feels like it was originally going to be threeie, but then at the last minute decided "fuck collecting things, lets throw in some cars".

>>340249619
My biggest disappointment is people genuinely claiming that this is a bad game, when it's actually God-tier. Watch Dogs 2 however, won't be very good, as it won't have Aiden Pearce as the main character.

ahh ok I still thought he was very generic though

>>340256741
>The inventory was only garbage if you didn't keep it clean
Having to clean it was what made it garbage.
>the skill system was great
No it fucking wasn't. The whole "oh wow, same class but soo different" shit is worthless when the differences don't matter.
No matter how you built Shep in ME1 the combat was always garbage in desperate need of the overhaul that it got.
That's not to mention that there is no real value in the idea itself from a role playing perspective because the game never acknowledges your build outside of combat.

I guess a better way to explain would be to give an example.

Pic related's characteristics are being a demon fox trapped in a feminine high schooler's body who likes plants. Now that's some of the dumbest shit I've ever typed out but he's written so well that he became one of the most popular characters among fans.

>Having to clean it was what made it garbage.
But cleaning was easy since you were always getting new items so you were constantly switching out and thus clearing away what you no longer needed.

>No it fucking wasn't. The whole "oh wow, same class but soo different" shit is worthless when the differences don't matter.
How did it not matter?

>No matter how you built Shep in ME1 the combat was always garbage in desperate need of the overhaul that it got.
The combat itself was pretty much the same, you took covering, used abilities and took potshots when you peeked your head out

>That's not to mention that there is no real value in the idea itself from a role playing perspective because the game never acknowledges your build outside of combat.
That's because its uses your backround/combat history or whatever for that.

I don't get this game at all. I know it was in development since the early PS2 days, but why was anyone hyped for it?

This is an important thing to note.

You can write the most "unique" character possible and have it be boring and trite as shit.

For a simple example, compare ME1's Shepherd with ME3's Shepherd.

ME1? You get to pick your own generic space marine backstory. But there was something to it. They added to your game, and typically in surprisingly good ways.

War Hero/Spacer was my favorite. War Hero gives you a rather neat little Batarian sidequest, but Spacer was always my favorite, because it grounds you into the setting hard. The Quest you get for Spacer involves helping out a Veteran on the Citadel. Most games would have you do some fetch quest or vengeance bullshit... You take a few minutes to call up your Mom (Still in the service of course) and talk over the situation. You go back and Paragon/Renegade him into checking in with the Alliance VA.

There's a similar side quest for each background, grounding you to your history, reminding you that you're supposed to be a part of this galaxy. They did really well in ME1 with that, including Anderson's backstory and (my favorite) the angry admiral who wants to be mad about the Normandy.

And then there's ME3, where you're cyborg jesus getting hallucinations of the fucking starchild.

A cohesive character is far more enticing than some mass of "neat" traits. It's the reason I'll defend Kaiden and Ashley for ME1 and ME1 only; They're pretty real for characters until Bioware decided to save money and write them as the same person 2 onwards.

And people wonder why I always bone Liara.

in defence of the game this is actually what it is, a casual game, I bought it because wanted a laid back console shooter.
I saw PC gameplay before I decided to buy it and could tell it had some auto/assist aim and massive hitboxes on PC already.
It is a fun game, but if you are looking for a skilful game you should know to not have bought this
