"Mass Effect was, hands down, one of my favorite games of 2007. Yes, it has an amazing amount of problems. The vehicle physics were enough to make my brain explode on the regular. Add to that the clunky combat and the dreaded "Unreal pop in", and it was truly a labor of love to finish the game. Man oh, what a love affair it was. This week, there has been some loose talk of the sequel. It got me thinking: what are the five things that could make Mass Effect 2 way, way better?"
Bioware writes: "Like you, we’ve heard the rumors lately. You’ve made it clear you care deeply about what’s next. So let’s start by setting the record straight: the next Mass Effect game is in development, and EA and BioWare remain committed to telling more stories in this universe."
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.”
One of the best things about the Mas Effect series is the companions you meet along the way. So here is a tier list of all the companions from Mass Effect!
To think that Bioware at some point was capable of doing games like this, you see those characters and remember them like good old friends, and now check ME Andromeda, Anthem, Veilguard etc and wonder what the hell happened.
some in andromeda are decent, I agree with peebee and Vetra being good companions. Except Liam he's trash tier
it's like bitch but your shirt back on, your not blue or spikey get away from me
RPGs are often huge, sprawling endeavours. With limited playtime, we have to choose wisely, so here's the best western RPGs available today.
"I started playing games yesterday" the List... Meh!
How about a few RPGs that deserve some love instead?
1 - Alpha Protocol - Now on GOG
2 - else Heart.Break()
3 - Shadowrun Trilogy
4 - Wasteland 2
5 - UnderRail
6 - Tyranny
7 - Torment: Tides of Numenera
And for a bonus game that flew under the radar:
8 - Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden
Not only glorious jank, but the idea that the story can completely change depending on what you do, or say, or side with, makes it one of the most forward thinking games ever. The amount of story permutation is the equivalent of a Hitman level but in Story Form. And it wasn't just that the story changed, no, it was that you met completely new characters, or missed them, depending on your choices. Made Mass Effect feel static in comparison.
Alpha Protocol was absolutely glorious, indeed. And it was, and still is, more Next Gen than most anything out there these days. In this regard at least.
Pity.
Bad Editing. Remove PS3 channel.
ME2 is coming to the 360 and the PC version soon after as the devs said.
He's right as of now nothing has been said about the PS3, so this should not be in the PS3 channel.
make sure the game supports sixaxis controls that will make it a bit better imo
Maybe I'm alone here but I thought it was another fantastic Bioware gem, so much that I played it twice in a row. I didn't notice any outstanding problems with it at all. I won't go as far a saying the author is nitpicking - maybe this is even the general consensus of the game, but it seems to me that these are very minor flaws in an otherwise epic sci-fi rpg.
Better sidequests and better use of the galaxy ftw.
The sidequests were terribly bland for a Bioware game, always ending in a shootout or the infiltration of some repetitive base/science station/outpost.
The galaxy map is a great idea, but actually landing on planets to find they're essentially undeveloped sucked big time. I like discovering civilizations and new settlements. It annoyed me that the only towns in the game were all plot relevant. Nothing new out there to find but a few ruins and mineral veins. Such a galaxy simply needs more stuff.
To that end, I hope ME2 is much bigger. Even if it has to have two discs for the 360 version.
