18. "meh" In response to In response to 14 Fri Dec-02-16 03:13 PM by bearfield
visually it seems up to par with modern expectations. nice environments. i bet that scanning thing is only for a few missions (is this ME: criminal origins?!) and it looks paper thin mechanically. kind of a weird thing to focus on in the debut gameplay trailer. combat still looks clunky and unresponsive (maybe animation-driven is a better term) despite them adding a layer of mobility. the vaguely open world (or at least not explictly linear) nature looks like it could facilitate immersion fairly well. exploring in the mako and then jumping out to fight enemies is pretty neat. can't really gauge how much player agency there is in the non combat sections. probably another "diamond" pattern like the previous entries in the series
i hope it's good. i think i'm just burned out on ME. i can still taste 3. yuck
