Epicly bad that is. If mass effect wasnt the biggest console targeted shit game, then i dont know anymore.

 

[maverick]

There's so many epics there that it begs an epic fail.

increased depth of planet exploration

I want that.

 

[sirfink]

trilogy=epic

 

[Tavicroix]

Bioware want to pollute the market game by another retarded game.
First Dragon Age, now Mass Fail, oh sorry i mean mass efect, what will be next?
Sad.

 

[Jedi_Learner]

We're going to surpass the extraordinary gaming experience we brought our fans in Mass Effect...

Extraordinary?

...as well as increased depth of planet exploration...

Won't be hard, now will it?

Regardless, I'm sure this game will come with more draconian DRM and installation limits. Are you happy to support this?

If you think Mass Effect was "epicly bad", you clearly haven't played very many terrible games.

It may not have been the greatest RPG ever made, but there are many, many games that are far, far worse.

No matter how you feel about this game, it'd be hard to fit any more stupid into this sentence.

Wanna bet?

... taking players on an epic non-stop roller-coaster ride filled with stunningly epic plot twists, and no–holds–barred, collar-grabbing action.

I think The Old Republic has that base covered.

 

[Gnidrologist]

There is no genius anymore. Only epic.

Yeah ME was epic - it was an epic console shooter like all other epic console shooters where you use your epic auto-target with the enemies - push your button - and game plays itself by killing epic hordes of enemies - the story was so epic it made me think about Bioware's target audience epic IQ - so epicly emotionally engaged it was. It even had an epic sex scene with an alien and an epic choices with new epic dialogue system which led to epic consequences like shooting more same-looking enemies and finally having an epic battle in the end where the game epicly kills the boss with auto-target for you. Though in order to play it you first had to battle and win over the epic DRM. But then you saved the world again and it was so epic. They even licensed an epic engine from the EPIC games. Which makes ME double EPIC.
I'm sure this sequal will be even moar epic!


Also "RPG-shooter" made me lol

 

[Turok]

I like ME on PC. Weird you ppl hate it. Is something decent to play in the era of pure FPS games & wii.

 

[GarfunkeL]

Turok, if you had to choose between canned meat that've you been eating for the last 5-15 years already OR select from either a fresh pile of nauseating shit or a bigger fresh pile of really, really bad smelling shit, what would you choose?

Whoa there! Sounds to me like the makings of a sequel!

Strangely enough, most of us grow up to be shiteaters.

My point is that is a descent game compared with the pure shit games that have come since 3 years ago.

stunningly epic plot twists

ME1 is a fun, shallow experience that is alright as long as you don't try to do any side quests.

I am slightly encouraged that they seemed to have realised how god-awful the planet sidequesting was.

Other than that, if they improve the combat and inventory systems, I'll be happy to pony up the $$ for this - although I am trying to work out how they can make it*more* epic than the original...

 

[St. Toxic]

More sex-scenes?

 

[Silellak]

More sex-scenes?

Collar grabbing IN the sex scenes?

 

[Edward_R_Murrow]

The ability to sodomize anyone and anything you want in dialogue?
