I would love something like Baldurs Gate: DA or something like Kingdom Hearts. Both have had very fun stories to play and great combat systems.

Initial reviews are in

Initial Reviews are good

As it is, it's merely very good on several different levels, and is more or less a must-play for RPG fans. It will drive shooter fans completely up the wall, though.

Because of this they gave it an 80, when all other reviews are 90 or above.

That's a retarded reason to give it a subpar score, "This RPG doesn't play like a FPS, WTF?"

If that's the worst thing someone can say about your game you've probably done a good job.

Well, that's a valid point to make when you compare it to an RPG like Oblivion that had pretty much universal appeal.

Does this link work for anyone? Digg says it should have scans of OXM's 10/10 review of ME but I don't see anything. [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

EDIT: SCANZ!

Very nice! Can't wait to see more reviews for this game. Will be incredible if this delivers.

Did anybody get to see the thing on Spike about it? Has the trilogy thing been confirmed? I was worried that might get thrown out the window with EA taking over. Would be so sick if your actions/character in the first game do actually carry over and influence the second game.

Can't wait to go find the pantaloons!! [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

Except the combat in Oblivion sucked? So did the leveling? And the story?

Re: mass effect
 

I hated Oblivion with a passion. It bored me to death. The levels (especially the dungeon type levels) all seemed the same to me. So basically through the whole game, you were going through hundreds and hundreds of dungeons that were the same and really boring.
