Ghost Whistler

Borrowed my mate's copy, which means half the game is locked right out (it's friendship EA, not intellectual property theft, you daft cunts), got to the fight with the reaper on Rannoch. You have to paint it with a target laser or instadeath and restart the fight.

The galaxy will have to find a new hero. I don't tolerate this kind of piss poor design shit anymore.

Since the half you mention is the pisspoor multiplayer bit your not missing anything by playing a borrowed copy.

This isn't a video game. It's a poorly written interactive story with awful soap opera relationship elements. The game constantly takes you out of the play to force through another, tedious, cut scene, usually offering you the choice between two extreme and inexplicable outcomes. The quarian vs geth choice is a case in point. It makes little sense and shows a real lack of polish. Yet another EA sanctioned production line affair. Yet another game that required more time in development that wasn't allowed because the moronic game industry and it's fanboy hobbyists demand insta-gratification.

This generation of games is dead and should just be allowed to die. INstead of a headstone we'll use a Kinect and an XBL headset permanently set to a ghost signal consisting of "you fucking noob faggot, you are so gay you retard" over and over. Here lies the xbox 360 buried under an avalance of pass codes and dlc.

The desperation is palpable, now. Go to any xbox forum or magazine site and you can see how desperate they are for something to discuss or a new game to review. It's like watching a dog in the desert.

I'm so jaded that this paragraph pleases my fatigued soul. I used to love video games. What happened? Would it be casual gamers, or as you may call it "daft chavs wanking over the next FIFA roster update"? Or have I become so bitter over the years that the only joy left is dark humor and other's suffering?

I could shake up gaming by sending the Daily Mail footage of a typical Call of Duty XBL match. I'm almost tempted.

This needs to be said, and said often.

I managed to get all the way to the endgame on earth only to find the game just becomes so blatantly cheap that it shoots itself completely in the foot. Every enemy mob is thrown at you over and over again in ridiculous numbers forcing you to run out of ammo constantly. Most of the time this is bearable, if utterly tedious, but they've buffed the mobs. Up until then, as you levelled up, you noticed the increased effect you had against the enemy. Now this gets taken away completely. I find that none of the Infiltrator class abilities are of much use at all as a result.
Three games in and Bioware still hasb't programmed your teammates to adopt anything more sensible than 'I will punch it in the face Shepherd!' regardless of their specialties. Liara isn't a tank yet inexplicably this is ALL she tries to do. Not that it matters, as the boss mobs are just absurd. When you reach the point where 5 Brutes (super armoured tanks that have a huge area of effect slam and charge) appear it reaches a crescendo of absurdity. I pissed through my ammo just trying to breach their armour with a gun that specialises in cracking armour and Cryo ammo yet because of their enhanced defences it just feels cheap. I'm pissing through my medigel healing my useless teammates. Honestly it just feels so cheap and so tedious. Nothing you have is of any use you might as well just have Radioactive Man's goggles.
