Heavenly Sword Sequel "Extremely Unlikely"

Ripten's Patrick Steen writes:

"There was always hope Heavenly Sword would give birth to a sequel that was "bigger and better than ever before." At least that's what we thought when we received a batch of new concept art from Ninja Theory.

Not only were our hopes dashed, but they've now been pummeled into believing there will never be a Heavenly Sword sequel. Nariko is dead."

[TheHater]

This is my favorite Playstation 3 game. There need to make a Sequel. I hope Sony do something about this, and pay these guys a lot of money to make the sequel.

[theKiller]

it has some success even though ps3 install base was very small and the game didnt have any online feature nor long playability hours not replay value etc yet it had some success!
i think heavenly sword 2 will come after GOD OF WAR 3!!

[Violater]

that Patrick Steen looks dorky

:P

[prunchess]

HS was such a unique PS3 experience. I loved the game. The cut scenes were great. Nice fighting techniques. Nice use of the SIXAXIS. A PS3 classic.

[techie]

Why do you have Hannibal as your avatar VIO?

[FAT MAN GO BOOM]

No worries mate there will be another HS and it will continue the story....

It will just not be done by Ninja Theory and since Sony owns the IP they will not let one of the hits die off...

Ninja theory is good but they always wanted there own IP and the main people in charge put a lot on the line to get there own company back off the auction block many years ago.... this was coming... if you read the developer diaries at Ninja Theory this was no shock at all...

[KidMakeshift]

No reason for a another installment unless it was a prequel

I really enjoyed Heavenly Sword even with all its faults

Ninja Theory is working on another game which they said will have a lot of characteristics similar to Heavenly Sword

[Lifendz]

I love this game. Played it like a fiend one night because I just had to beat it. Best cutscenes I'd ever seen and soooo much potential for a sequel. Sony, if this game qualifies for greatest hit status please bestow that upon the game. For 19.95 or whatever a greatest hits costs it's well worth it. Even in this day and age of COD4, DMC4, GTA4, and MGS4.

[Genesis5]

Well that sucks!!

[Surfman]

wait a minute, i tought they said months ago that they'll make a Heavenly Sword 2? Probably not a "sequel", but "2" like a totally new story and new main character? I think they said that the main character will be a male too. Am i wrong?

[dauden]

Also one of my fav PS3 games.

[jtucker78]

Wow. I didn't realise there were this many people that liked HS.

The graphics were fantastic, but the gameplay in the demo really put me off buying this game.

I assume the full game is a lot better?

[dhammalama]

-

[turbogeekx]

Eh the first one was pretty good but it was way too short and I can't really think of why they would make a sequel. The game didn't sell too well and Nariko died.

And God of War III is coming. :)

[TheHater]

So what if she die? There was other Characters they could explore in the Sequel. Like the First person to wild the Heavenly Sword.

[socomnick]

yea heavenly sword felt like a cheap god of war clone. The problem was that unlike god of war the enemies felt uninspired and the boss battles sucked. Nariko kinda sucked herself asian chick with a british accent huh wtf ?

[dhammalama]

So, she could have any accent that they wanted. It didn't detract from my experience.

[emogen]

Personally, I'd like to see Ready at Dawn try their hand at this since they did a really good job with God of War Chains of Olympus.

[Tetsuryu]

I agree. Either Ready at Dawn or Sony Santa Monica (utilizing God of War III's engine) would be great candidates for developing a sequel.

[ArtisianDragon]

I heard this game was really good (But extremely short) Was hoping to get it after getting the MGS4 Bundle, damn...would have loved for a sequel.

[sticky doja]

I rented and beat it on Sunday and while it was short I very much enjoyed the experience. The acting was great, cut scenes were phenomenal. The actual play got a little repetitive, especially since their was no powering up except the unlocking of new combos but overall a very fun experience though short lived. If you can find it for $20 or less buy it, otherwise I would just rent it.

[twoface]

It's a waste. I believe more people are now ready to give them a try after hearing good things about the first game. They just need to stretch the playtime somewhat longer..

[Meus Renaissance]

If it was twice as long it would have been critically acclaimed.

[THE_JUDGE]

and the acting was superb! It was very movieish in the cut scenes. I think that a certain game that comes out June 12 will surpass its beautiful cutscenes and story but its sad how people have panned the entire game just because of length.

[sticky doja]

Except that a lot of reviewers had to ask themselves this question. "Should I recommend someone spend $60 on a good game that is only 6-7 hours long with little replay other than trying a harder mode."

I really loved the game for the time I spent playing it even though it did get a little repetitive. But, after beating it I have no desire to go back to it, unlike God of War 1 and 2 in which I went back and beat in both god and titan mode.

[juuken]

That's a shame! I was hoping for them to do a sequel!

[360 man]

juuken its because the sales were poor and the budget was too high

[juuken]

Um...yeah. Take your 360 logic on the 360 forums kthx.

[2cents]

doesn't change the fact that most people who picked it up, absolutely loved it! and they want more...Im one of them.

But you wouldn't know that, seeing as you are bias

Edit @below.
I say that because you added looooool to your post which implied you were very happy it didn't sell well. Which tell us that you are indeed bias and a bit dyslexic

[360 man]

err no
da graphics absalutely rediculous and da voice actin was heavy
but it still didnt sell well

[PR0NE]

@juuken you gave him too much credit, now here's how you should say it:

take your zero logic on your 360 forums...

units sold: over one million...(not much but enough to consider a sequel)
best voice acting and cinematics...

[solidt12]

I Really Really liked this game. It was the first game that I played where I got to use the Sixaxis in a very fun way. The after touch on the crossbow was the ish.

[GameDev]

ISSSSS THE GAME!!!!!

they could have cut nariko out completely and focused on her little sister with that wicked crossbow.

[PoSTedUP]

i doubt it, it will come out, but its gonna be for both systems i herd.

[THE_JUDGE]

Heavenly Sword was published by Sony, they own the rights to the IP. Good try though.

[TheHater]

Thanks Judge.
I didn't know Sony own the IP. So now all they need to do is have another team working on the second one. But the should have some member from the original game help with the second one. I want a dam sequel for this game.

[drdre74]

just get someone else to do the next one. Just that simple. I loved the first one but if another studio can make the next one and make it just as god or better then I'm all for it.

[cyclindk]

They should do a prequel and re-imagine some things; that way they can avoid the whole Nariko story and explore how the sword came to be in the first place, something more epic.

[Tempist]

You know, in the end it doesn't really need a sequel. I was satisfied with what the story gave me and don't really want more. It was an open and shut story.

At best, the sequel would be a shady image of it's predecessor and I'd hate to see it end up like that. I'm satisfied and many others should be as well.

If you don't think so, try and dictate where the story could go from the ending that was given to us.

[TheHater]

the can do a prequel to the original Story. Like explain who was the first person to use the Heavenly Sword, or the God that it was made for. there was several question left un-answer in that game.

[Ovidius]

They could continue it with Kai protecting the sword, but since the whole game would involve using her crossbow the entire time I don't think it'd be good. Just something with Kai and the clan is what I'm guessing.

I'd like something more along the lines of a prequel, though.

[crck]

I rented it and didn't even bother finishing it. And I finish 80% to 85% of every game I start, especially games under 8 hours. The animation was choppy and the combat had no flow to it. You basically hacked away at the enemies until you could catch them not blocking. Which seemed to be random and had no basis on where you attacked them from and with which stance you used. Attack them from the back? They would automatically with no animation flip the other direction and block. It was boring and unrealistic. However if Sony does own the IP maybe they could send the sequel off to Ready at Dawn or Eat, Sleep, Play (think thats what Jaffe's company is named) to make the sequel. But Ninja Theory doesn't seem to have the experience or talent to make a top notch action game.

[Mwaan]

The combat system was very good. It was just easy enough for button mashers to complete. You could knock those enemies out of block with specific moves and also perform insane aerial combos. The real problem was the fact that the game relied to much on the combat. It needed a jump button and some platforming.

[Michael Jackson]

Nooo! Nariko was HOT! Sony owns the IP so they can make a sequel themselves. Just that it's not gonna be under Ninja Theory this time.

[BeaArthur]

Your user name always makes me chuckle.

[crck]

Eat, Sleep, Play or Ready at Dawn please.

[Dark General]

Eat, Sleep, Play maybe?

[2cents]

"there’s a great huge raft of reasons behind us taking the direction we are - and it’s also the nature of the business that I’m not allowed to share any of those reasons with you"

Yeah... it's money!

You bastards.

[Ju]

Looks like a political situation here. Ninja Theory wants to be independent and go multiplatform, Sony owns the IP. Sony won't allow to loose the exclusive rights to the name, and maybe the game wasn't successful enough for Sony to pay Ninja more money to do a sequel (they bought the Motorstorm guys back then).

But I could imagine, HS as a brand is good enough to let Sony make a second title - when the time is right and the find the right developer. Question is, if Ninja owns the assets and code. Who ever does the sequel would need those, IMO. If that's not covered by the IP, it will be very hard to make a new title based on it - and might not look/feel like the first one. But these things happened before.

All these statements don't look like Ninja was too happy with Sony after all...(or vice versa).

[GameDev]

dev studios has lawyers that cover all these angles, along the lines of "any and all source code, modules, graphical assets, voice acting, animation(you get the point) is the property of SCEE Inc." yada yada yada

[Blackcanary]

Need a second game for Heavenly sword on a 50gb blu-ray dvd i feel in love with that game so much and i'm never gonna tryed it in.

[tab553]

it was an okay game with good cutscenes but the central character was one of the most irritating characters in any medium. It was like they were trying to ram down your throat "strong female character". Always serious lacking any charm, same as the game really. It's the right thing to kill the series off.

[Seraphim]

I don't think Ready at Dawn is going to be doing any Sony projects anytime soon. If I'm not mistaken they've said they now want to work on their own IPs. And Ready at Dawn isn't a Sony Studio...

For a game like Heavenly Sword I'd like to see the Sony Santa Monica team do the sequel if Sony ever does decide to go for it. No matter who does create a sequel to Heavenly Sword it will probably be VERY different than the original. In that Ninja Theory knows all the tools used to create Heavenly Sword. The motion capture process, Andy Circus, etc. For better or for worse a sequel to Heavenly Sword would probably be very much different than the original...

The thing with the Heavenly Sword IP though is that there's so much room to work with. They could prequel it, sequel it to a time era 500 years after, completely revamp the character, style, etc.

[eyeDEVOUR]

its called "heavenlysword"... not "the life of Nariko"

[dork0783]

Go SEEK HELP NOW!

[Sh0ckWav3]

I'm surprised nobody have try to buy out ninja theory

[DJ]

But Nina and the other founders are firm on staying Indie Developers. It's one of the reason they liked Sony's approach: funding and assitance, but technically independent.

[techie]

They have. NT declined...it's the reason they went with Sony - Sony would take the risk and let them be independant (like they do with Insomniac)

[techie]

Was never confirmed to be Microsoft DJ....and is unlikely after the performance of NT's Xbox game.

[n4gzz]

Another beautiful game that went down because of bias reviews. HS is pretty good game and i am glad i brought it. It is going to be in my collection forever.

[DJ]

Ninja Theory wants to stay independent, so I see no reason for Sony to try and gobble them up. Microsoft tried to when Heavenly Sword was in development, but that just turned the Ninja Theory founders completely off.

Making HS2 for both PS3 and 360 obviously isn't possible due to legal contracts, but it would also lead to huge compromises compared to the original title. It would actually be one of those rare instances where the sequel ends up being inferior.

Sony isn't prone to moving their IPs from the original developers without that developer's consent AND assistance, such as what we saw with Daxter and God of War on PSP (members of both teams helped out throughout the development process). Hopefully Sony pushes for Ninja Theory to come out with a new installment of Heavenly Sword in the coming years, and help finance it as an exclusive.

[360 man]

wow dj ur a funny guy

[Bombomb]

Dj - "Hopefully Sony pushes for Ninja Theory to come out with a new installment of Heavenly Sword in the coming years, and help finance it as an exclusive."

kidd it's not happening, do you know why we have sequels to multimedia in the world, because the first ones do very very very very well.

this game came out early in the ps3's life so sales are going to be lackluster. you would of hoped many bought the game because there wasnt that much to play the first year but that wasnt the case.

if god war can only muster 3 million on a console of over 100 million what makes u think this game was gonna break records?
too bad this is a decent game to come out the first year of a console but many will see it as just a god of war clone.

the risk was too high for the rewards. meaning no second game is likely.

[techie]

Spyro and Crash were sold weren't they?

[Salta_nelas]

That sucks...really sad.
Well, at least there is GOWIII which will own.

[360 man]

yh it will own man

totally own man

ownage man

[celticlonewolf]

Had a really great story I just thought that the game play wasnt upto the greatness that was the story and acting. Short game but I still liked it and ws the first game I played on ps3 so it has a special spot lol.

[Avto]

Who is Ninja Theory to decide the fate of Sony owned IP. If Sony wants to they can give it to Santa Monica and they can make a million times better game.

[muddygamesite]

Very true, Im gonna have to agree with you on that one. It seems NT focused too much on acting and cut-scenes and left the game-play department lacking alot. Its a shame because they could have made this game amazing.

[meepmoopmeep]

it's a shame, it was a great game with a great story. but i'm sure there could be possible sequels. hopefully.

[n00bPwner]

lmfao. for more reasons than one...

[ISA_Scum]

Maybe they're being nice and decided not to embarrass Ninja Gaiden II even more than they had to.

[PSWe60]

that's too bad, I liked the first, well fukc it plenty of other good games to be played

[thehitman]

BUT wouldnt mind if they created a whole new better IP. HS was a great game it just lacked more gameplay. Game took only 1 day to beat on ps3 I expect games like that to take me at least 2-3. Devs need to up the anti start using more space for bigger longer games. Reason I cant wait for UC2 I heard they using 50gigs for that omg IM DROOLING.

[Figboy]

the reason why this news upsets me, is because it is a sign of how powerful the gaming media has become in influencing the popularity of gaming titles.

Heavenly Sword was a GREAT game, that got ripped to shreds because it was:

A) Not God of War
B) A Playstation 3 exclusive at a time when Sony and the PS3 could do NO right, even when they DID.

Reviewers universally praised:

1) The controls
2) The graphics
3) The motion capture
4) The facial animation capture
5) The story
6) The combat (ALL games get repetitive after a while, but i don't here anyone complaining about how repetitive the classics Ninja Gaiden, God of War, and Devil May Cry are; same genre, but they are praised for very similar mechanics to HS, while HS is panned).

Reviewers universally panned:

1) The length.
and

well, um, er, hmmm. uhhh, they DIDN'T COMPLAIN about anything VITAL to the gameplay experience (ie, controls, graphics, sound, acting, story, gameplay, etc), just the length, but they saw fit to blast the game with 5/10 scores and comments of "well, it ain't no God of War." like it NEEDED to be God of War to be a good game.

i LOVE Heavenly Sword. i thought it's combat was not as complex as Ninja Gaiden, but not as pick up and play easy as God of War. it was somewhere in between. Nariko was a GREAT protagonist, and her story wasn't nearly as epic as Kratos' but it didn't HAVE to be. it was very personal. "The Empire Strikes Back," to God of War's "A New Hope" (and i mean, Empire was a very personal story. it was about Luke getting his training, facing his demons, and failing. A New Hope was about Luke blowing up the Death Star, in short, saving the galaxy; at least until Return of the Jedi, that is).

people that never even PLAYED Heavenly Sword, owned a PS3, or played the very short demo, which barely covers the game stayed away from it, because reviewers labeled it as a "bomb," when it was nothing of the sort. and now, because of media bias at the time, and sheeplike nature of a large majority of the gaming community, a franchise that had TONS of promise and potential is gone.

it's like the closing of Clover Studios all over again. the blame mostly falls on the gamers, who were so quick to listen to other people's opinions instead of their own interests, and partially on the media, who saw fit to tear apart EVERY Playstation 3 exclusive released last year outside of games that there was simply NO WAY to effectively bash (ie, Unreal Tournament 3, and Uncharted: Drake's Fortune).

it's like they couldn't look at a Playstation 3 game for what it was, but for what it SHOULD HAVE been. holding Sony's PR promises over every title released, even though they KNEW, that PR is PR, and they talk a lot of crap (EVERY developer, publisher, and console manufacturer are guilty of this, not just Sony), and that it was only the console's first year, and if they were to look only as far back at the PS2, they'd realize that year one is always hard, and NEVER realizes the potential of a console, whether 360, Wii, PS3, WHATEVER, the best is always yet to come, but they couldn't STAND to give Sony a break.

Resistance
Motorstorm
Virtua Fighter 5
Ninja Gaiden Sigma
Heavenly Sword
Warhawk
Ratchet and Clank Future
Folklore
Unreal Tournament 3
Uncharted: Drake's Fortune

are all EXCELLENT, exclusive titles for the PS3. all unique, all diverse genre's, all delivering interesting features and or story, especially for year one titles, and yet very few of them got the credit they deserved. even Uncharted, the best of the bunch, which has NO LOAD TIMES, no framerate issues, doesn't cache to the hard drive, or have a mandatory install, and graphics that are simply mindblowing (especially on an HDTV) didn't get ANY respect for it's technical achievements, while Halo 3 was lavished with 10/10 scores (i don't have anything against Halo, i just don't feel it's "perfect" scores were justified. media hype at work here, i guess).

i have each one of the above titles in my library, and i regularly go back and play them (Uncharted and Ratchet the most) just for kicks. i'm sure we'll see a Heavenly Sword sequel SOMEDAY, but not in the next two years. even though the title sold 1 million units worldwide, it simply got beat on in reviews. especially after Lair was received with such disdain, and the media and fanboys at large got a whiff of blood, and wanted more (afterall, Lair was the first big exclusive of Sony's non-launch titles, and a lot was riding on it being a killer title. in my mind, it's a 7.5 out of 10, 8/10 with the analog patch; a good score, but that's just me, and i'm able to see a game for what it is, and have a good time if a good time is actually to be had).

look at how reviewers last year would review the quality multi-plat titles. from Call of Duty 4 to Burnout Paradise and Devil May Cry 4, most of the reviews were simply cut and paste jobs from the 360 review. lavishing praises where their due, a light, enthusiastic tone when discussing the games positives and negatives.

but look at how they reviewed PS3 exclusive titles. even when the game was EXCELLENT (ie, Uncharted), the tone of the reviews are almost bitterly, begrudgingly conceding that, "yes, the Playstation 3 has a good game,but, well, it doesn't have Achievements, or, or, or LIVE, or, or, Achievements, or, or LIVE, and, um, the PS3 is expensive, so it doesn't justify buying one, and, um, it's SHORT," etc, etc, ad nauseum of pathetic, watery excuses that hold no real weight.

Never mind that there were WORSE games out there that were rated HIGHER. it's a Playstation 3 EXCLUSIVE, that means it has to be held at a higher standard than other games. *rolls eyes*

anyway, i'm done with my rant, it just worries and infuriates me that reviewers these days have forgotten how to be objective and review. have forgotten how to control the very hype that they've generated for a title in their previews while reviewing, and can't keep their personal opinions OUT of their final appraisal of the game. it's unfortunate that many of these sites have a corporate agenda (ie, generating revenue via advertising dollars), and are willing to make certain editorial concessions and tons of bandwagoning when it's convenient for them to do so.

*sigh* ah well. RIP Heavenly Sword. at least for a little while...

[thehitman]

I got throught 1/4 of ur post and was like when does this end and gave up after I scrolled down. Well its not ALL crap about 1/100th of its crap I just finished reading. I think I strained a brain muscle.

[360 man]

exactly man does he actually expect us to read all of dat

all of dat crap

[Figboy]

anyone's whose screenname is "360 man" to read through my primarily positive PS3 posts? hell no.

my opinion is there for those that want to read it. that's all. if you can get through my posts, good job, but it's not mandatory for anyone to read them, and instead of commenting on how long the posts are, and how you aren't going to read them, you can, i don't know, NOT READ THEM and keep your mouth shut, commenting on the story at hand, and any relevant observations about the topic at hand.

as i can see, you two both have NOTHING to add to this story. better luck next time, i guess.

[okcomputer]

I'll admit I didn't read it all, but just skimming through I saw some things I disagree with. First off hs was not a great game. It was above average, but not great. The combat system did some things right (the different stances and counter, the air combos) but it ultimately wasn't as good as the combat in the big three in the action genre (dmc gow and ng). The enemies were bland and repetitive, and with the exception of flying fox the boss fights were a total let down. The motion control arrow levels with kai were fun for the first few times, but get old and repetitive very fast.

On the positive side, the cut scenes were top notch, that you can't take away from hs, as it was the best cg facial animations i've ever seen. Also the voice acting was right up there with the soul reaver series for best ever. Overall I'd give it around a 8.0, which is exactly what its gamerankings score was. I'm glad there won't be a sequel though. The devs who made hs are obviously talented, and I think they'd probably come up with something better if they just started again from scratch.

Also, as for the ps3 exclusives getting shafted, the truth is that yea, while ps3 exclusives get harsher reviews, thats only because they're held to a higher standard. The ps2 owned last gen, so people expect huge things from the ps3 and have so far been let down. Also, people just love to hate on things that are popular, so people were all set to hate on the ps3 right out of the gate. You have to admit though there haven't been that many great ps3 exclusives this gen. From your list you can take out ngs, since its just a remake of an old game, take out vf5, since theres a 360 port of it, and take out folklore, because like hs that also wasn't a great game either. We're getting mgs4 next month though, which will be the first undeniable aaa game for the ps3, and good things will follow.

[stuntman_mike]

i have nearly all the games you mention on there aswell (except ninja gaiden, VF5)and ive enjoyed everyone of them (i also think folklore is an underatted classic).

in regards to heavenly sword i thought it was an excellent game and well deserving of a sequal no matter what you say about sales and reviews it had an excellent story, it would be a waste of an ip to let this game go without i hope one of sony's internal studios carries it on.

also to the people who said ps3 hasnt got any great exclusives it because like figboy said in his post it always got slated because its on ps3 which was unfair to these games people should see the game for what it is not which console ego's the best.

[cmrbe]

Thats is the problem. A review of a game should not be based on weather a previous console was dominant or hype surrounding it. Game should be reviewed purely on its own merits compare to other games on offer which would be a good benchmark.

Its is very stupid for game reviewers to hold PS3 games at higher standard because of hype and cost of the console.For example if say a particular PS3 game is just as good as a x360 game but gets a lower rating because the reviewer expected more from the PS3 is absolutely stupid.

[Jdoki]

Heavenly Sword was never a game I was particularly excited about. When the reviews came out they were generally OK, but nothing AAA. There's no way I would have bought it.

I am SO GLAD I got Heavenly Sword bundled with my PS3!! If not I would have overlooked this little gem of a game.

A sequel/prequel would be cool, but in the context of the story it isn't really needed. If NT's next project uses similar concepts and game play mechanics to HS I'll be happy.

One of the things that NT really need to do is keep Any Serkis on board. His direction in the cutscenes really gave the game a movie/epic feel which I liked a lot.

[andron]

But it's unlikely to happen very soon...

I am certainly hoping for a sequel...

[Lord_Ash]

That’s too bad I really enjoyed the game and I'm thinking of playing it again, maybe Sony should give the game to Santa Monica Team (God of War) and see how the end result would be.

[Asurastrike]

Heavenly Sword was garbage. I hope Ninja Theory goes bankrupt.

[wind_dragon]

well i know if Sony Santa Monica picks this ball up then it'll surely be awesome. =P

[c64days]

When the Press killes a great game for no reason. what do you expect if a ego-meniac reporter kills 100 mil project?

now we lost a reall great game.

[gnothe1]

this is for that guy DJ, he always puke nonsense from his head that he doesnt know what he's talking about!! DJ CLAIMES that MS TRIED to buy ninja theory when in fact ninja theory went to MS to publish the game FIRST. but MS wanted them to do a cheaper game. the production cost for HS was pretty high. but since sony allowed ninja theory the right to produce they game the way they wanted they went with sony, plus sony bought the rights to the IP also. but remember that ninja theory( just add monsters ,JAM) did work for the xbox 1 last gen(kung fu chaos) so they went with MS as their first option!! but MS didnt give them the freedom they wanted. so no DJ MS didnt try an buy anybody!! i swear your one of the biggest LIEARS in here!!

http://digg.com/gaming_news...

[techie]

None of what you say is true either :)

[sumfood4u]

Wham!!!!!!!!!!!!!! its Rare Buy on Ebay!

[SolidSnake93]

Lies.

[kindi_boy]

i really like it the way it was let's keep it original no need for another game.

[aaron5829]

And i thought i read that this is a trilogy thing...

[PirateThom]

That's a horrible aspect of this gen.

All games are now part of a trilogy.

Gears of War - a trilogy
Mass Effect - a trilogy
Heavenly Sword - a trilogy
Resistance - a trilogy

Why can games not just be released and then let sales and acclaim dictate if they're sequel worthy. Frankly, I loved Mass Effect but would prefer it was wrapped up in one game.

[SnakeDiesinMGS4]

The game sucked. Rated under 80% and sold like crap. TIme for a new franchise and try again.

[yourgodisdead]

I loved that game, was short but was still great =]

The sequel could of been years after the first one with a new character and some how someone else gets the sword and you have to get it back, it sooo could have worked >.<

[yourgodisdead]

i loved that game :(

the sequel could of been about someone else getting the sword and you layas a new character trying to get it back, OH and your a ninja lol
