Well... ME1was 90% RPG 10% shooter. ME2 was 90% shooter 10% RPG. ME3 is 50% both. Me thinks. I personally prefer more RPG elements, but I was satisfied with return of weapon mods and different companion armor in ME3, so i think ME3 was great combination of RPG and shooter. Despite EAware's constant push towards destruction of RPG genre, i think ME3 captured most of the genre and exploited it very well.

P.S.Role playing is great, but without customization of character and improvement of the same ( both in mental and physical sense) it's not really an RPG. Just sayin'.
