Hindustantimes - Mass Effect 3 Review

"Mass Effect has never been about gameplay. It has been about story, characters, relationships and narattion. It also had good gameplay to support that but Mass Effect 3 doesnt change much in terms of gameplay. It brings in its share of upgrades, a huge range of new weapons, a complete class of enemies, but it is all as expected and there are not many surprises here." -

It's never been about an RPG that's for sure !

Really? I have always Played the Role of the commander Sheppard of my choice...and its a game....

[Rowland]

yes, really !

Commander Sheppard is a Character - it's not a 'role' - there's precious little 'role play' involved in the proper gaming sense. I hate to be the one to break this to you but what you are doing is merely manipulating a game Character, not much more.

I am playing as much a "role" as I play in any computer "role playing game" and far more of a "role" then in any JRPG.

Now if your saying no computer game is an actual RPG then I agree. Otherwise you are always just "manipulating" a game character and this game is as good, or better, then others.
