PC World's Matt Peckham, who has just published "Mass Effect: Xbox 360 Game Doesn't Live Up to its Hype" and given a 60% rating to the game, follows up his review. He expands on why Mass Effect does not feel much like a game to him, and why it is no Baldur's Gate 2 or even Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic.
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.”
Thanks to their innovative approach to gaming, RPGs like Dark Souls, Final Fantasy VII, and Dragon Quest left a significant impact on the genre.

Nice find, at least he is defending his review and showing that he indeed has played the classics. Overall great find and interesting read even though I mostly disagree with it. The interactive feel of story is really fun and great and the game is really good IMO and I'm saying this as a Baldur's Gate 2 and Fallout fan.
can you blame this game for being so over hyped? I mean it was a game, although lacking in the combat side, the story seemed endlessly complex from the very few videos that were shown of multiple conversation threads.
I can now say I'm not too fussed about Mass Effect and probably won't be picking it up now, but you can't blame anyone for it getting over hyped, it was a great idea that wasn't executed as greatly.

PC World reviewing a console game lol
Also how am i an xbot lamewire? prove it that i am one? because i know that im not. but fangirls jump to conclusions to quick
He may have legitimate comments, but a 60%? That's just plain stupidity at it's finest.
He couldnt have even let himself try to play the game, just set out to pick it apart from the beginning.
Edit for below:
Then why is this one random guy 33% off the standard?
I agree with everything he said. he makes sense to me.
props
