[QUOTE="Kzach, post: 5739706, member: 56189"] Your expectations must be extremely low. The entire game lacks polish, from the clunky menus to the ill-conceived powers, horrible GUI & unintuitive levelling/class system. The gameplay reminds me of cheap knock-off games from fifteen years ago and the graphics aren't much better. The combination of mouse targeting, keyboard turning, and power usage is just pure awful, as is the 'cover' system. The only thing that explains why they've taken so incredibly long to develop this game is that it was obviously done by committee with no real leadership, vision or cohesive overview and control over the various elements of the design. It's pretty obvious that this is a mishmash of square pegs forced into a round hole in order to complete a jigsaw puzzle that although it vaguely resembles he picture on the box, is like a low resolution, digital version of an analogue picture. I'm not surprised though, given everything I've heard about the development of it and all the excuses and delays. It's sad that things like Star Trek and Star Wars and other big names can never get any GOOD development in games because of all the politics and BS that goes on behind the scenes. I think it's telling when games like Mass Effect, of which I'm a HUGE fan, come from the same developers and one is super awesome and the other is pure crap on a stick.
