I don't usually like games when your MC is physically handicapped by either not being able to jump or run fast or just feel clunky in its movements. F*ckin Shepard can save the universe but he can't jump a little step. I get that game is more about the story but that's why you're not that thrilled to use him in combat. Even the guy from assassin's creed which is pretty agile is restricted to his cinematic movements on contrast the guy from infamous is agile and you feel in total control of him.
Yeah it's always goofy when a character can't jump AND THEN they make a one-foot high obstacle a legitimate barrier to an entire section of a level. But Mass Effect is too awesome for me to care so suck my nuts.
