Thread: Mass Effect 2 & WRPG's

With FO:New Vegas basically being a rehash of FO3's engine I'll still be getting the GotY edition but I know the tech will be a bit dated. Good thing though is Bethesda has a new game engine coming out for Oblivion V which I'm sure will make its way to the next FO game.

I'll probably be getting the GotY of the new Oblivion V but I still haven't touched the GotY of Dragon Age Origin's yet, haha.

ME2 is next on my list of games to get for my PS3(when the price comes down). Like you, I loved Fallout3.....I've never put more time into a game in my life. But I was really disappointed with New Vegas...it froze WAY too much, where I had to do a hard re-set of my PS3 on several occaisions. So I ended up trading it in before I even got far into the game. Hoping Bethedsa's new game engine works better than the one used for New Vegas.

Love hearing about ME2 though, thanks for the review!

Well Bethesda farmed out FO:NV to Obsidian to do, giving them the source code from FO3 so whatever inherent bugs were in FO3 it seems obsidian while doing an admirable job, had some programing issues. Like a lot of people have said, there wasn't anything really new done to the game for FO:NV, it was basically FO3 with some new graphics...and apparently more bugs.

Like I said, I'll be getting the GotY edition of it but with it being for the most part a real big add-on of FO3, I'll enjoy it for what it is.
Hopefully bugs will be worked out to the extent the engine/programming/budget will allow.

since i quit world of warcraft, ive been looking for new RPG games or re-playing some of my old rpgs. i really want to get mass effect 1 & 2 as well as DragonAge

tried Oblivion... a little tooooo cheezy & generic for me, and the motion gave me a headache after awhile
re-played Star Wars KOTOR 1 & 2
re-played Vampire The Masquerade Bloodlines (a few times just because its a great game)
re-played Vampire The Masquerade Redemption

now... im addicted to The Witcher. i just got to chapter III and im hooked. graphics are amazing, story is amazing, game play is pretty good, controls & camera are kind of buggy but the rest of it makes up for it
