Are People Ready for More Mass Effect?

''Mass Effect was one of, if not the best new franchises to appear in the last generation. Bioware crafted a universe (literally) that enthralled everybody, a universe with a broad range of mostly fleshed-out characters that made the whole franchise feel alive. Between Mass Effect 1 and 2, it seemed Bioware could do no wrong. Praise was thrown at both games, by critics and the general public alike, and the fanbase became intensely passionate over the franchise. And then Mass Effect 3 hit.''

Maybe not for a few years...i think they should leave a gap between 3 and any new entry

It's a shame EA completly corrupted and destroyed BioWare.

I just started playing Mass Effect 1. I am looking forward to the games so hopefully I won't be too disappointed in the third!

Disappointed? Meh. I loved all three.

EA drove the good doctors to drink and they left the company they founded brokenhearted, albeit with sacks and sacks of cash.

Ummm Does a bear shit in the woods ? :)

[OrangePowerz]

A polar bear doesn't :)

I loved Mass effect, all three games were amazing. More is all I can say, but make sure they are as well thought out and fleshed out as the original three, otherwise it will just be cashing in.

My body is ready! I loved the trilogy.

1st was great, the 3rd was awful. If you say you liked it then you either have Stockholm syndrome from ea or you didn't finish the game...worst ending I've ever ever played.. still havnt picked the game back up after I finished the third..... After I played through the 1st at least 12 times

because ending was bad doesnt mean the whole game was

I don't want to get into spoilers as people in these comments have already stated that they're not finished playing through the trilogy, but as someone whom was heavily invested in the games since the first one, Mass Effect 3 was a severe disappointment on many levels. And there are many reasons for why the disappointments were birthed behind the scenes, but for now I won't get into that either, not just yet at least.

Anyways, does the fact that the final fifteen minutes of Mass Effect 3 were a disaster retroactively render the rest of the game as such? No, certainly not. Mass Effect 3 had many issues aside from its conclusion. There were retcons and plotholes all over the place, the further into the campaign, the more plentiful they became. Things in this game's rushed writing actually trespassed upon lore and canon already established in the original Mass Effect, which I still hold as my personal favorite story within a video game.

I had played Mass Effect many times over the course of about five years, and again, without getting into spoilers, there are so many things in the third game that for me were enough to heavily tarnish that entire universe for me. I honestly don't see how Bioware can repair the damage that has been done to this franchise in those final 15 minutes. But honestly, I am curious to see them try. And if for nothing else, I'm sure I will play another Mass Effect game just for the gameplay. Especially if there's more multiplayer featuring many alien races.

No you don't have a tail on your backside.

Yes that's a stick up your arse.

Yes I'm mean.

Yes ME3 was an awesome game

[medman]

Another confused somebody that thinks his opinion is the correct opinion. Grow up.

[Thefreeman012]

Yes because the average cover based third person shooter, with a severely lacking rpg element and rushed story. The first game had exploration, expansive story and was the game that established the series. I don't know what anyone saw fun in the 3rd game besides a grinding shooter with crapy story telling with an option to even bypass it...so yes I will stick with my opinion

[noctis_lumia]

yep

[mananimal]

No, Mass Effect franchised died when EA became the publisher. RIP
