The Mass Effect Thread

You want it to be an MMO because you want a better choice of outfits? 

[Lint]

No.  I want a fully fleshed out and awesome story.  Not half a story and half a tAcked on online mode

I like outfits as much as anybody but I am a soldier and I wear the uniform and that's it!

Andromeda gameplay trailer has dropped.

 

[Ruki]

It looks good. I'm excited for it.

[JasonM]

As expected, the game looks quite stunning. I've avoided any and all story spoilers, beyond what was mentioned in the gameplay trailer, but i'm being cautiously optimistic about the game (I mean, they probably have learned after ME3)

A few janky moments in facial lighting/animations in the standoff sequence, though. And I doubt that the exploration aspect of the game will be super large either.
But i'm certainly going to be interested once the game is released, and hopefully it'll get good reviews and allays my fears about the depth.

Does anybody know when the hd-rereleases of the original trilogy will be released? Surly they're going to do this, right? I mean re-releases seem to be a big thing now. So far we've seen the Uncharted Series, God Of War 3, the first 2 Arkham Games, the BIoshock Series and even Resident Evil 4 for the PS4. And with EA always looking to make a buck they just have to re-release these games eventually, right?

[Benji]

Supposedly not likely any time soon.

[JasonM]

I feel the only game of the trilogy that really needs a remaster is ME1, since that game has not held up at all. The graphics are pretty bad in comparison to 2/3, and the game mechanics are just not well streamlined. And the worst part is the grinding pace of slow-jogging everywhere, standing in an elevator, and then slow jogging some more. With the same going to the Mako sections, that get annoying real fast.

ME2 still looks pretty good though, and the game is real good to pick up and play. Same goes for ME3

March 21 baybeeeeeeee.

Get yourselves signed up to the multiplayer beta  

[Benji]

It's gone gold. The hype is ready.

[Bobfoc]

And Natalie Dormer is in it. For many, the tissues are also ready.

[Benji]

Don't forget Clancy Brown and Gethin Anthony!

[Bobfoc]

In seriousness, I'm not automatically going to be interested in this until I hear how people have been getting on with it. I used to be right on board with everything Bioware did, but it's quite a different company when compared to how it was ten years ago.

Don't get me wrong; I'm not saying I don't think it will be good, and I'm very fond of the previous Mass Effect games. It might just be that I've had my Mass Effect fill for now.

[Benji]

Eh, the only things I've ever disliked from them were the ending of ME3, and the "recycle bin dungeons" from DA2. I'm in for day one, but I get why others wouldn't be, especially after the ME3 debacle.

[JasonM]

Im on the fence about getting it, I really want a new Mass Effect game though. But i'm gonna wait until at least the reviews to trickle in and give me an idea what i'm dealing with. I doubt Bioware would make the same errors after the backlash over ME3's story ending, but I'm not holding my breath either.

[Bobfoc]

I think I'm also not really looking for a long game right now. Perhaps I will be in a few weeks or months, though, and this could be the one I turn to if it's on par with the previous games.

[Your Mom]

I will buy anything Bioware puts out as long as it isn't an RTS game because I hate those

[Bobfoc]

So it was you who was behind the cancellation of Command and Conquer: Generals 2.
