Is that it doesn't offer a more shallow role playing experience, It simple offers a different kind of role playing, one in which you actually play a role of a character, and the world around you changes based on the decisions you have made. In my opinion, it's a much more mature and true to life type of role playing, and It makes for an emotionally powerful experience that stat-focused RPG's simply can't provide.
Daring choice for #1. Although I like Mass Effect 2 a little bit more, I agree with his reasons. Gotta love Bioware.
When a company refuses to make a much wanted sequel to one of their most beloved games *cough*kotor 3*cough*

What a stupid article.
but the "New Next Gen Game" has been up on bioware's site for almost 2 years now. An article speculating about it comes op every few months, it seems.
I was only 12 when the game was released, and all I knew about it was that you could choose to be either lightside or darkside. What I got, however, was so much more.
I don't even have a PS3, but I'm a huge fan of cinematic games, and I think that Heavy Rain has potential to be a step forward for the games industry. Heavy Rain proves that games don't always have to be about action or some sort of crazy adventure; they can be used to tell a story in a way that movies and books are incapable of.
I am become very glad that I am buying the special edition:

Is that Games like Mass Effect provide a different type of Role-Playing experience, not necessarily a more shallow one. Mass Effect offers you the chance to be the kind of person that you want to be, it gives you difficult decisions that, in other games, would be made for you. This is a type of role playing that goes beyond "what kind of sword do I want to use?" and goes back to the orgins of the RPG, the pen and paper games where you chose who you wanted to be, and the world around...
Whoa whoa whoa, hold up. If I worked at Bioware or Bethesda, I would be seriously offended. The definition of an RPG has changed a lot in the past 10 years. Most people but them into to two categories: JRPG and WRPG, but honestly, WRPG's differ from each other so much that it's difficult to put them into one category (The difference between Fallout 3 and Mass Effect, for instance, is almost as big as the difference between Fallout 3 and FFXII). However, to say that RPG's made by western devel...
that footage looked very promising, even if it was very early in development.
Especially kotor 3. Kotor 2 added a lot of interesting plot lines to the story, but never really solved any of them. We need some real closure. WE NEED TO FIND OUT WHAT HAPPENS TO REVAN AND THE EXILE!!!!
I love it. This game is looking more and more like the Kotor I remember.
I would love to see a sequel.
But I know that they're no way I'll be able to afford it if the price tag is as big as I think it's going to be.
Will be teh sex
that trailer had me chomping at the bit for days.
Their RPG's are already combine the best parts of Japanese and Western RPG's (Story always has a high priority just like in JRPG's, but Bioware also makes their games non-linear like in WRPG's).
