I'm a pessimist; I believe things are constantly getting worse A Deathwatch Guard Send a noteboard - 06/05/2011 05:40:38 AM
Who cares what specific sub-genre it fits in? A good game is a good game. Mass Effect 2 changed up Mass Effect 1's formula quite a bit, and was widely regarded as a great title. Bioware is a big company with a strong track record; you really think ME3 won't be worth playing just because they're trying to appeal to a wider audience?


I thought ME2 was fairly good, but really I only got it and played it because, sad as it is to say, I'm Bioware's bitch. Their good track record is going to ensure that I keep eating out of their hand until they really mess up, and so far they haven't gotten that bad. But I do think that ME2 took about two steps forward from the original Mass Effect, but it also took three steps back. It was hardly a better game than the original in my opinion, and I think altering it even further will make it worse.

But no, ME3 will certainly be worth playing. I was overly melodramatic in my previous post. However I don't think that they are improving Mass Effect with their changes, and considering what I've heard about Dragon Age 2, I am of the opinion that they are starting to slip. So will ME3 be worth playing? Yes. Will I play it? Certainly. Am I going to anticipate it and follow its news updates, and get it the moment it comes out? Not at all.

ME3 delayed. KingGeedorah - 04/05/2011 11:51:04 PM 893 Views
For a second, I thought they were adding content. Then I realized it was Bioware. Ghavrel - 05/05/2011 12:40:27 AM 622 Views
You'll love this. lord-of-shadow - 05/05/2011 01:24:06 AM 724 Views

ME3 will fully morph three genres: RPG, Shooter and Bejeweled. Zalis - 05/05/2011 02:23:13 PM 536 Views
agreed KingGeedorah - 23/05/2011 04:19:48 AM 700 Views
That is not what Zalis was saying. At all. *NM* lord-of-shadow - 23/05/2011 04:37:28 AM 243 Views
I'm in agreement with the delay towards making the game more shooter friendly... KingGeedorah - 23/05/2011 09:51:38 AM 529 Views
I do love it A Deathwatch Guard - 05/05/2011 08:42:09 PM 527 Views
It seems like they're losing a more valuable market (imho) for the larger one. Fox and Ravens - 05/05/2011 09:03:48 PM 630 Views
I don't understand. Aemon - 06/05/2011 05:19:42 AM 523 Views

Yeah, they're saving me sixty bucks with comments like the one in the link... lilltempest - 23/05/2011 05:51:35 PM 843 Views
I gotta agree with one of the comments in there ironclad - 23/05/2011 09:47:54 PM 609 Views
But that comment is someone's interpretation, not what they're actually doing A Deathwatch Guard - 24/05/2011 05:38:00 AM 809 Views
Bummer *NM* ironclad - 05/05/2011 09:16:06 AM 254 Views
I think they realized that if they brought out ME3 anytime aournd Skyrim, no one would care. *NM* MightyYT - 05/05/2011 06:59:31 PM 239 Views
Too late A Deathwatch Guard - 05/05/2011 08:38:29 PM 557 Views
Releasing at the same time as Skyrim wouldn't hurt it too much. The only ones they'd lose out on... lord-of-shadow - 05/05/2011 08:49:16 PM 575 Views
Re: TaskmasterJack - 05/05/2011 09:32:00 PM 559 Views
Nah. I love RPGs, but I'm okay with the series not being a "real" RPG. Zalis - 05/05/2011 10:02:35 PM 565 Views
Same *NM* ironclad - 07/05/2011 02:39:53 PM 286 Views
I'm ok with it as well. To a certain extent. lord-of-shadow - 05/05/2011 10:18:24 PM 702 Views
E3 anticipations... KingGeedorah - 05/05/2011 10:10:29 PM 743 Views
Skill trees don't concern me. The ability to make meaningful decisions concerns me. *NM* Ghavrel - 05/05/2011 10:25:14 PM 267 Views
Is it bad... Jeordam - 05/05/2011 10:42:31 PM 656 Views
It shows that you are a gentleman of discerning taste. Ghavrel - 06/05/2011 02:49:39 AM 573 Views
Still playing thru DArigins, I'd say it plays more like KotOR than Baldur's Gate. Zalis - 06/05/2011 03:20:49 PM 555 Views
hope you're playing it on the computer. KingGeedorah - 07/05/2011 03:48:59 PM 568 Views
Yep-on the PC. The removal of the strategic cam view sounds obnoxious in DA2. Probably won't play. *NM* Zalis - 07/05/2011 04:57:02 PM 286 Views
Only removed on console versions. PC version still has it. *NM* lord-of-shadow - 09/05/2011 05:58:52 AM 242 Views

That was going to be my question too. *NM* Jacob - 10/05/2011 06:07:48 PM 243 Views
to me (though there's probably another word for it) Foxhead - 10/05/2011 10:47:18 PM 724 Views
I am far more interested in a quite a few games that'll be out toward the end of 2011 Jacob - 10/05/2011 06:10:02 PM 530 Views
