Storm Rider:
I did war hero colonist. I figured it was fitting considering my class selection.
The thing is, I really don't think it's much like Gears of War at all. I can see where the comparison comes from, but I don't really think it affects the gameplay unless you want it to. First of all, if you play it completely in real time like an action game, you're going to die. A lot. Secondly, the cover system is almost unnecessary for the most part: if you keep strafing you can dodge most of the enemy fire. Really, it's just like a slightly more action-oriented KOTOR without lightsabers.
Ozymandias:
Huh.
Well, I've been playing it like Gears of War to great success.
I didn't even know there's a way to play it in non-real time besides stopping to use an ability.
ackblom12:
I went Earthborn/Survivor
I think this is probably the first real time system I've played that still felt like it fit the RPG setting, and it's done it amazingly well, especially for a first attempt.

Wow that has not been my experience at ALL. Try popping out from cover on the Luna side-quests and you get mobbed by a dozen angry robots with missile launchers. Try popping out from cover when you're fighting decently-powerful biotics and they chew you up with Warp and Throw.
Dimmukane:
Yeah, I just beat the Matriarch last night after about 20 tries. (I'm doing this on the second highest difficulty setting) There was really no strategy that worked consistently for me, so I settled with going down the staircase to a corner, waiting for her to walk off the center platform in our direction, and shoot like mad with the shotgun while her commandos ran to us from behind her. I used Barrier in there somewhere. It somehow worked.
