I'm trying to do just that, a Mass Effect Marathon where I play through ME1 and ME2. I'm loving playing through ME1 again, knowing what I know about ME2 and the inevitable Reaper invasion. Already it is affecting my relationship with Ashley and Kaiden, as I know I will have to eventually make That choice 0.o

TenSteps5207d ago

I just finished ME2 on insanity myself would have played ME1 again but my 360 is hidden somewhere in the storage room ever since I've moved and laziness is always getting the better of me.

Infiltrator on Insanity is cruise control though.

I'm playing through the final battle of ME2 over again to try to have a different outcome. I lost Legion the first time and was thinking how important his role will probably be in ME3 so I had to try again.

The 2nd time he survived but I lost Jacob and Jack. Even though Jack hated my guts I still wanted her to survive...May have to go for a third time. It seemed fitting for Jacobs story to end in ME2 for me.

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.

toxic-inferno206d 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.

Profchaos206d 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

jznrpg206d ago

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

P_Bomb206d ago

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

Rebel_Scum206d ago

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

Bro missing companions: Legion, Grunt, Samara/Morinth, Javik, EDI

anast539d ago

Legion, Zaeed, and Jack are my favorites.

RiseNShine539d ago

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.

anast539d ago

They lost too much talent.

IAMRealHooman539d ago

some in andromeda are decent, I agree with peebee and Vetra being good companions. Except Liam he's trash tier

anast539d ago

Liam lol I can't stand that dude.

IAMRealHooman538d ago

it's like bitch but your shirt back on, your not blue or spikey get away from me

Loved Alpha Protocol in all it's glorious jank. Great game.

SimpleSlave787d ago (Edited 787d ago )

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.
