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.

NinjaRyu5699d ago

they're just trying to make money!!!! When it's EA it's always about the money!

RememberThe3575699d ago

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.

lnfinite5699d ago

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

BlackRaven855699d ago

What is that suppose to mean?

KBDuB5698d ago

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.

Now THAT would be tight. But Halo needs to come out first. =/

Greysturm5699d ago (Edited 5699d ago )

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.

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.

Loved Alpha Protocol in all it's glorious jank. Great game.

SimpleSlave21d ago (Edited 21d ago )

Not only glorious jank, but the idea that the story can completely change depending on what you do, or say, or side with, makes it one of the most forward thinking games ever. The amount of story permutation is the equivalent of a Hitman level but in Story Form. And it wasn't just that the story changed, no, it was that you met completely new characters, or missed them, depending on your choices. Made Mass Effect feel static in comparison.

Alpha Protocol was absolutely glorious, indeed. And it was, and still is, more Next Gen than most anything out there these days. In this regard at least.

Pity.

Good games but no Phantasy Star?

merlox335d ago

Why do people forget Phantasy Star? That is one of my favorite RPG series. Another ther good but overlooked series is ,Y's.

anast335d ago

ES3 set things off, it's a shame they got greedy and decided to cut corners so the executives could get huge pay days.
