NowGamer: There are a great many certainties when it comes to the happenings of the final part in Mass Effect's trilogy, and we've spent weeks studying the series' plot strands to offer you our favourite ten...
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.
It'll definitely come to the PS3.
@jimmins
why not? Microsoft owns the IP?
Definitely will not.
Tali better have some decent tech power in ME3, she went from super powered crazy slut to being a crew member I never wanted to choose because I would have to keep reviving her because she has no offensive powers whatsoever...and yeah shotguns are totally awesome at range :S
"Furthermore, we are betting that the Shadow Broker is someone very, very close to Shepard. Someone who has featured in both previous games. Hint, hint. "
What do they know that I don't, I have no F-ing idea who it is...
There is no doubt that the Illusive man is one bad mofo, and doing that last mission...it's like he knew what the end finding would be all along...to bad he didn't get what he wanted *BOOM*.
I tried to convince the Quarians to stop waging war, and got the geth on my side... my theory,
Uber mega battle:
Rachni ( saved the queen in ME1 )+ quarian fleet + geth + alliance vs Reapers/Harbinger and some Illusive man in there spicing it up somehow :S
It's a pretty insightful list actually. I totally disagree with number 10 though, I think it's the Quarian's time to shine. They've been dumped on for two games and I think there will be some positives for them in 3.
As long as they don't Spore up the mini-quests such as to make the game outside of the story unplayable I'm game to complete the saga AND keep playing after the credits role. Pity there isn't bluray to fill with what will undoubtedly be sold as DLC missions to keep the game fresh after the first playthrough.
