if you want totally 3rd person shooter action game then i'm sorry ME is not for you. you have better chance with Uncharted 3.

perhaps the developer put the action mode to capture bigger audience??

Action mode is probably good for a quick playthrough, like you want to play a different class but a quick one and yes to capture a bigger audience

why would anyone with a sound mind want to play ME3 quickly??

...or maybe if you want to plat the game the second walkthru you choose action mode?

there you already give a reason where someone might do that haha

though I doubt I will do that myself though lol

action mode -> for people who just want action and dun care about the story

story mode -> for people who want to know about the story and make important decision but sux in action

role playing -> which is the whole package of both action mode and story mode together, the only mode which can let u experience the whole mass effect universe entirely.

is that really that hard to understand? at first glance i oredi know what is that.

i 100% perfectly understand...

but why must the developer incorporate all these modes at the first place?

to cater new audience? in my opinion ME should be played like it was meant to be. role playing as you described above

to cater to new audience. me1 & me2, don't have mp. now me3 got mp because certain people complain to bioware they want mp and bioware caved in to their pathethic demands.

btw, i will be taking my own sweet time playing me3, just like ff13-2.

there you go and this new audience such as 0300078 who never play ME series before choose the ACTION mode and found it boring.

people who never played ME before, should probably avoid playing ME3 because they have no idea what the story is about.

to understand the story they have to play ME1 & ME2 or at least play the PS3 version of ME2 first.

i think you are right...i've never played ME1 before but thanks to interactive storyline in PS3 version of ME2...i can appreciate the story of ME to some extent.

Well, since im first timer in ME. I actually like the gameplay after trying the demo even though i chose action.
I just love sci fi settings. Maybe im gona try me2 now lol.

You definitely should, it'll give you at least almost the full story, unfortunately there's no ME1 on PS3 so we have to make do with the interactive comics they put into ME2.

Almost done with my ME2 insanity playthrough, 1 more mission to go

i played ME1 on the pc and ME2 on the PS3. I'm sad that there's no way to convert my ME1 save game for the PS3.

and the intro in ME2 for PS3 is so limited in scope

You have the same problem as me

my situation is similar as you. i didn't played ME1 back then because my pc wasn't powerful enough to run it. i plan to buy it on EA Origin store soon, so that i can enjoy the story more instead of relying on the limited interactive comic found in the ps3 version of ME2.

^then not similar la boss...i played ME1 on PC before ME2 came out on PS3.

I play ME1 and ME2 on PC, then I got PS3 and went and bought and play ME2 on PS3 again, now continue ME3 on PS3 lol

Same here. Played ME1 and ME2 on PC. Had to replay the whole of ME2 on PS3.

And ME1 is really clunky and boring compared to ME2. Remember the inventory management?

Oh god the inventory, it's so hard to find something in ME1 inventory, though I miss the possibility to add mods to your guns though. Good thing it's back in ME3.

The only thing I don't like in ME2 is planet scanning, so boring.

they should just remove the ammo system. its dumb. in me1 weapons have a overheat meter, it was much better than way. but its just a small gripe so nothing to flip table about.

besides, who leaves ammo clips lying around in the game like dat lol. if fall from enemy i understand.

and planet scanning is much better than mako driving lol. i have tried to replay me1 numerous times always end up quiting when reach mako driving.
