They must think so considering they gave it a 40/40

Lifendz6222d ago

of games to get when I get a 360. Fable 2 is supposedly awesome so I'll be picking that up as well. Hopefully EA considers some sort of collectors edition when/if they release Mass Effect 2 on the PS3 that includes the fist game. Every time I have money for a 360, Sony releases more games!

Same score as Haze? Much lower than The Last Remnant? Famitsu reviews are meaningless? Hmm...

ZuperAmazingCooKie6222d ago

I wonder what this means to them considering it is as good as Haze and worse than The Last Remnant.

SpoonyRedMage6222d ago (Edited 6222d ago )

I don't know what it means, perhaps that despite the limitations in both Mass Effect and The Last Remnant that they're good games? With The Last Remnant being rated higher because it's a Japanese game, much like ME got higher rated in the west because it's a WRPG?

I could certainly see that. I enjoyed both ME and TLR despite their shared flaws.

EDIT: Although ME is certainly better than TLR.

Yea.. Mass Effect is great, in my opinion.
Fable 2 is a good game, as well.

Darn you Sony! >.< Haha.

Tony P6222d ago

I'm guessing it was the combat that hurt the overall game a bit. Japan doesn't cream over shooters like we do.

great game overall, some serious flaws that detracted from the overall experience - elevator points, pop-in of pretty much every texture and also a kind of non-emotional, robotic feel to all of the characters, sex scenes were a gimmick too.

MriownBOTH6222d ago

cant wait for mass effect 2 ONLY ON 360

Jockamo6222d ago

"...and also a kind of non-emotional, robotic feel to all of the characters..."

wtf!

iHEARTboobs6222d ago (Edited 6222d ago )

The game is really good from what I've played so far but it does have a lot of technical problems. Unfortunately, I installed it onto my drive yesterday and it didn't really seem to fix anything. That was a bummer. I hope the next one fixes the issues.

shazui1236222d ago

I know this is probably really picky, but the facial animations made it that way for me. I mean even in the sex scenes, where was the pleasure in the woman aliens eyes? ;)

No Way6222d ago (Edited 6222d ago )

I would agree to most of that..
Although, I don't really think they detracted from the game. o.O
Not for me, at least..

But, I don't agree with the "non-emotional, robotic feel to all of the characters."

I guess it matters who you played through the game with? Wrex just had the "whatever" kind of attitude. But, the characters all react differently to certain points and events in the game. Garrus and Ashley are prolly the ones with the biggest emotional pull on the game, from what I've seen and experienced.

Iuno, I guess we just saw things differently.

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.

toxic-inferno200d ago

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.

Profchaos200d ago

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

jznrpg200d ago

I still haven’t beat Andromeda. I am waiting for a lull of good games in my backlog

P_Bomb200d ago

So the TV show will take place after the OG trilogy. I wonder which ending they’ll use?

Rebel_Scum200d ago

Should’ve just posted a picture of an Elcor saying “regretfully, we have nothing to share.”

Good games but no Phantasy Star?

merlox1095d ago

Why do people forget Phantasy Star? That is one of my favorite RPG series. Another ther good but overlooked series is ,Y's.

anast1095d ago

ES3 set things off, it's a shame they got greedy and decided to cut corners so the executives could get huge pay days.
