1 - Whack

Mass Effect is one of my top five games, and to see it turn into a movie so soon just makes me hurl. It makes me wonder if EA is trying to actually sell good games, or if they're just trying to make money.

1.2 - If any game can become a movie it Mass Effect...

It just has to be done well. Mass Effect already had an amazing story, they just have to capture the way ME felt when you played. It can be done and it can be done well, they just need to do it right.

3 - mmm...

I am playing it right now and although the main story is decent, the game is pretty much what bioware did on kotor only with an action driven combat engine (that in my opinion needs a little tweaking since combat is too fast to care about the cover system and besides biotic/ force the physics impulses are dissapointing and it gets repetitive pretty fast since you dont feel much change after the first levels).

For the movie theyll remove all the sidequests (which 90% suck especialy the mako involved), add a little more fluff to the characters (cut some of them) and probably take the hero route with a male character named john.

3.1 - "since combat is too fast to care about the cover system"???

Try putting the difficulty up a little. You wont last long without using the cover.

A good tip is to set your 360 to default games to their hardest settings. You'll enjoy your games more when you feel like your trying harder.

5.1 - The comic book movies are doing pretty well

Maybe they just need to learn a little something from Marvel and DC.

He is saying, that by the smart move, BioWare will keep Mass Effect exclusive to the 360.

Cause, we all know that the PS3 HATE Mass Effect.. That's common knowledge, just like how we all know TwoChin(juuken) is really a man.

3 - Don't Worry BlackRaven85 I know how Translate fanboy, What he means to say is................

(Might pick it up when it comes out on Blu Ray,depends on whether or not Bioware makes a Smart Decision in the near Future)

translation: I will buy The Blu Ray version of the movie (Mass Effect) if it comes out, only if Mass Effect the game come to the PS3!

I guess this means lnfinite won't buy Gears of War the Movie on Blu Ray because it's a 360 only title! LOL, You gotta love fanboys on this site.

Mass effect sucked.Terrible framerate issues,pop ins,loading times.
I wish Bioware would work on a next gen Star Wars:KOTOR

Thats basically what mass effect is.only minus the cool jedi tricks and no custom lightsabers..

Lol! @NoobzRtehGey

Maybe you think it is..But i couldn't take the insane pop ins and slow downs.I stopped playing after i killed the big worm thing on that random planet.That game sucked.

@Peebo.

Duuurrr See my gamercard? i played it.It sucks.Assuming you've played Star Wars:KOTOR (made by bioware) You would know it has the
SAME F*CKING STORY.Wonder the galaxy in you're own personal space ship
With moral choices that affect the outcome of the game.

That is ST:KOTOR Mass effect is the SAME DAMN THING.With lame
"bio" & "tech" Abilites to replace the awesome jedi powers in KOTOR
And instead of awesome guns and custom lightsabers,they replaced them with lame guns and more lame guns.

4.4 - @PeeboDaKilla

ThatCanadianguy420 is a PS3 fanboy. So, that automatically means that every 360 game is a piece of sht.

@ThatCanadianguy420 - Don't use that excuse that Mass Effect is the same thing as KoToR.. If you're going to say that, then basically EVERY shooter, racing game, and pretty much even RPG's are ALL the same. The story is the same? What the fck you talking about? Have you beat the game? I've played both KoToR and Mass Effect, beat both, loved both.. but, they are not the same thing.

And, I do agree, however, that BioWare should Definitely make a new KoToR game.. Exclusive to the 360.
