I'm guessing you played Mass Effect 1 & 2 right? Because i'm pretty sure you didn't just buy mass effect 3 on a "whim" and just liked the MP.
Because 1 & 2 were basically similar...
Couldn't disagree more.
Maybe it's just because I don't come from an FPS background, but I found the higher levels of ME1 and 2 pretty challenging. Not impossible, but definitely some tough fights that caused significant amounts of reloading.
However, I immediately noticed ME3's combat was much easier. I think I started off with the hardcore setting (as I'd been doing some ME2 Insanity in preparation for ME3) but had to shift it up to Insanity just to keep my interest.
If the plot of ME3 had been up to the quality of the previous two games, this wouldn't have mattered so much, as I would've concentrated on that instead. However....yeah, lets just say I was underwhelmed and leave it at that. If a story or a gameplay is lacking, I can usually focus on the other and not worry too much about it. But when both are subpar...that's where things get frustrating.
