ME1 was so easy to break over your knees. There's a reason they switched to ammo.

Mass Effect 3 was the best Mass Effect strictly because I never had to buy it and got enjoyment out of it. The series as a whole is awful though.

1.3 million (Mass Effect 3) vs 2 million (Mass Effect 2), a 35% drop.

ME3 was poo poo because it cut down on virtually everything but the combat, but I guess if you only like to shoot poo poo and have embarrassing dialogue in your apartment ME3 is pretty okay

What really got me the most about it was just the overall dip in quality coming from Mass Effect 2. The combat was fluid, but as I played through the game, it started to dawn on me how shallow all of these trilogy-wide "choices" and story branches we could take really were, and well, let's just say it left a hunger in me only Chipotle could satisfy at that point.

Are there any videos up of the mass effect reveal that was shown? And to save time, was it anything more than "this still exists"?

ME3 kinda sucked as a whole for me, but I still find the universe and stuff around it cool. I'd be happy for more Mass Effect if they leave Shepard alone and stay away from monolithic plots because they already exposed their ineptitude there.

They showed us the rendering engine, that's it. We got to see a planet, and a really good day/night cycle.

Then they mentioned Mass Effect and a "new IP" so we're not even sure which we saw.

me2 was alright because they made it so you could romance Tali and she was the only interesting female character. Liara acts like a robot and Ashley is a marine

Nah people are going to buy them in droves and there is going to be a lot of :spergin: rage on the official forums from the same subset people here who claim they will never buy any game in X franchise ever again.

The ME series has never been big name. DA:O outsold ME1 and 2 combined last I checked, and ME3's sales nosedived after the release angst. While I imagine DA:I will sell well ( because lets be real, DA2 exposed the fact that most of the fanbase is just here for the romance. ), it'll actually be really interesting how well ME4 does.

ME 1 was ok (from the little I played)

ME 2 owned, beat it 4 times to hear poo poo

ME 3 was merely ok, played 2 but the ending was kind of poo poo (story aside, it was a garbage end boss)

So umm, this opinion is mine and is all that matters. Who cares what some nerds online think (we're all poo poo nerds, gently caress off and wipe your arse).

I never said that sales numbers mean quality; nice straw man. They do mean success, which in the adult world means money for shareholders which is a thing that needs to happen in order for companies to keep existing.

Looking through the ME3 thread here and then over to the Bioware forums shows a huge amount of tard rage and I really do hope that EA keeps up the same strategy because let's be honest, forums are almost always more fun than games especially in series which generates so much bizarre fan creepiness as Mass Effect.

ME3 had good gameplay. The multi was very fun. You could be a vanguard and charge things and explode on them, but you had to make sure not to charge the wrong things or they would loving Murder you.

Where are you getting your sales numbers from? ME3 and 2 have definitely sold way more than both of that across all platforms.

Nah its just really funny to watch people here get offended when their little franchise gets messed with; it's honestly one of the huge draws of the series post ME2. That and the absolutely insane stuff people post about Tali. Bioware sucks just as much as EA, but the point here is that despite all the rage the games will continue to sell well and as long as the shareholders are getting serviced the big publishers really do not care about boycotts or whatever.

I don't know. The image of the community managers carting away hundreds of red, green and blue frosted cupcakes is both more entertaining and hilarious than anything (save Tuchanka) in Mass Effect 3 or the more irrational responses to the game.

I agree it's funny to watch people get a angsty over video games but it's really stupid to assume that EA will keep it rolling when they tanked Medal of Honor and many other franchises, trust me EA will find a way to destroy all their financial success
