Ass Effect - from Something Awful

From Joystiq - Griffin McElroy, Dec 1st, 2007:

"We've recently finished our first play-through Bioware's gargantuan space opera, and while we walked away from the experience with great satisfaction, we humbly suggest they change the title of the game from Mass Effect to 'The Galactic Adventures of Chatty Cathy.' Seriously, you'll exchange more words with your enemies than you will bullets. It's like a 12 Angry Men simulator, only in space, and sans Tony Danza.

One of the goons at Something Awful recently made a parody of the lengthy conversation system in Mass Effect. Don't judge the comic by it's corny title (Ass Effect? Really?), as it actually has a few nuggets of comedy gold. However, if you haven't played the game yet, you might not get some of the jokes -- in which case, we present an alternate comic: Marmaduke!

He's a dog who thinks he's a person!"

Note: The comic has 5 pages.

Ok wtf??? thats not even funny

evolution546664d ago

That was sorta funny but I don't think they needed to make 5 freaking pages of comic strips to prove their point across.

N4GayFanturds6664d ago

This site is being overrun by Sony GAYngsters

Kyur4ThePain6664d ago

I don't think Peg would be happy with you calling him that.
But yes...lame.

TheExecutive6664d ago (Edited 6664d ago )

lol a dude that has dragunballz for a name doesnt have a right to call anyone GAY.

On another note... this article isnt really news and it isnt even funny... Ass Effect is kinda funny but thats about as far as it goes.

solidt126664d ago (Edited 6664d ago )

Just because you don't like the Playstation brand does not make everyone who does gay. Anyway the comic could of been alot better.

The_Engineer6664d ago

A GROWN MAN that calls himself "dragunballz" should be investigated by the proper authorities....lol

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-inferno113d 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.

Profchaos113d 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

jznrpg113d ago

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

P_Bomb113d ago

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

Rebel_Scum113d ago

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

ApocalypseShadow1009d ago

Good games but no Phantasy Star?

merlox1008d ago

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

anast1008d 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.
