Lol @ the people who keep saying this game is a GeOW knock off. News flash, nearly every game made today is a knock off of something thats already been done.
Not really a big reason to pre-order the games, but I'm still looking forward to their release.
Legend of the Dragoon, Jedi Power Battles, Tenchu 2, GRID, Star Wars TFU, Dynasty Warriors Strike Force, Defense Grid, and I'm pretty sure there are more.
What does Microsoft have to do with this franchise? My understanding is that this game is developed by Bioware, published by EA, and released on the xbox360 and PC. Not saying that milking it is a bad thing, but if anyone does it it'd have to be Bioware.
Lol @ all the people who think porn is showing up everywhere now. A bit insecure are we? I don't see anyone complaining about the violence in video games, but when someone mentions sex all hell breaks loose. I don't get people. The sex in Dragon Age is nearly non-existent imo. Play one of those Hentai Dating Sims or Rapeplay games and then you'll see some sex in a game.
"We have:
-Isometric RPGs in the vein of Diablo.
-FPS RGPs akin to The Elder Scrolls.
-3rd person RPGs (often with targeting reticlues and very FPSish) as we see with Mass Effect, Dragon Age, Arcania, etc.
And that's pretty much it. I have yet to see an RPG from the West as entertaining (and classic) as Demon's Souls was, on PC or console."
All of those games are more entertaining than Demon's Souls. Not to mention the many western made MM...
Hopefully the campaign and missions will be longer. There are other things the series can improve on, but the these are the things I really want to change.
Natal won't even be able to save itself.
"However with ff13 coming in 2010 ..any other rpg is just irrelevant"
First off ME2 is an action WRPG and FF13 is a JRPG, and secondly the last Final Fantasy game that was good enough to make all other RPGs irrelevant was FF6. I have high hopes for 13, but I doubt it'll be as good as six.
I'm definitely looking forward to GOW 3, but I doubt it'll be the biggest game of the year. Even if it was the greatest game ever created it still wouldn't be enough to make people absolutely forget about the competition.
Disappointing, but still a day one purchase for me.
Wow, not many JRPGs I see. Dragon Age was my RPG of the year.
List is full of FAIL.
"EDIT: Oh and Piracy was a huge problem too. Many game publishers probably did not want to spend as much money on the system since they knew that many people would just end up pirating the game. So the publishers would either just not make the game to begin with, or would have a lower budget."
Every hand-held platform has had to deal with high piracy. Imo it's easier to pirate a Nintendo DS game then it is to pirate a PSP game.
Comment of the day Red Dragan. Bubbs ^
Never heard of GamesTM, but gratz Bioware for making another fine game.
I'd say there's extreme console damage control going on in here. The Sony and Microsoft lovers seem to be gaining up on everyone saying they'll be getting the pc version.
Not necessarily true. Consoles in general compete with the PC so to say the 360 only competes with other consoles is kind of a moot point.
Pre-ordered the collector's edition pc version last month off amazon.
"Funny how ME2 PC threads are completely empty. It's kinda weird all the ME2 PC gamers only appear in 360 threads :)"
That's only one thread and I'm pretty sure not all pc gamers only use Steam as a source to purchase games.
Since when has it been a cool thing to pirate video games?
