Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic was released on the Xbox, and a couple months later, a PC port improved the general interface which made the gameplay more intuitive. Jade Empire received a PC port a year or so later, with improvements to the visuals and AI, making it a better version than its console counterpart. Noticing the trend? PC gamers get the long-end of the stick, even if that means waiting for months. The same rule applies to Mass Effect. BioWare and Demiurge Studios team up to deliver the PC port of Mass Effect, the critically acclaimed role-playing game (RPG) for the Xbox 360. The port also just happens to be the best and definitive version of Mass Effect. Go figure."
Pros:
+ An authentic and believable universe.
+ Great characters.
+ Great combat mechanics.
+ Different classes yield different play styles.
+ Superb audiovisuals.
+ Superlative endgame.
+ Really cinematic.
Cons:
- Story, while good, is not paced well.
- Too much loot, making money irrelevant.
- Lacks tough, moral choices.
- Miscellaneous, nitpicky issues here and there.

I expected nothing and I'm still disappointed
Like with Fallout, it's starting to feel studios are using TV / Film adaptations when they have no game info to talk about.
I feel the same way.
I mean, how difficult would it be for them to release SOMETHING of substance? Another short trailer? A couple of proper hints? A short story set during the original trilogy, but focused on fringe characters?
Hopefully they're working so hard on the game that they don't have time. But still, with every passing year and so little to show, the franchise will be slipping further and further from people's minds.
Yeah agree it's almost a cop out since Dev times are 5 to 10 years just throw out a few seasons instead you get them done in a year
So the TV show will take place after the OG trilogy. I wonder which ending they’ll use?
Should’ve just posted a picture of an Elcor saying “regretfully, we have nothing to share.”
Thanks to their innovative approach to gaming, RPGs like Dark Souls, Final Fantasy VII, and Dragon Quest left a significant impact on the genre.

The story is the best part. Easily the best story in a video game that I ever played it. Please do yourself a favor and pick this up.
