Codex, enlighten me: what is wrong with giving the lesser gamers the ability to play a pre-defined path?

Because anyone that needs even less complexity in their games than what we currently have to deal with is a waste of oxygen.

New Vegas already did that with the Hardcore mode setting. Real gamers never thought about turning it off and the game certainly wasn't worse for including said option.
Now they're called real and fake gamers?

By the way, since I have never played the Mass Effect games and since I have only seen the videos, what bothers you about male Shephard's voicing?

Does he sound too lifeless? Well, what?

I dunno who you're asking that, but since I am one of the ubermenschen you'll want to read it anyway : it's lifeless. The VA tends to fuck up somehow when it's supposed to be emotional, it sounds like he's having difficulty speaking sometimes and well, shit sounds much more monotonous than it should be.

Ah, so that is it.

And by the way, did you guy's notice the resemblance between Perry Rhodan Adventure and Mass Effect? Both carry a very similar look.

And I think both games are closely inspired by Coruscant, which itself was a shinier, bluer, and cleaner version of the Bladerunner city...I think? This sort of shiny, blue-ish look was also there in Spielberg's AI.

The "feel"("utopic" buildings) is similar.. the screenshots(ME is not that filled with decorations and gadget shit) are not.

Good thing that Mass Effect 2 alrady gave me the feeling / warning to stop playing this Gears of War clone. Too bad that the series just went downhill with Mass Effect 2 since the first part of the series was really good.

It wasn't that good. Shitty copypasted combat, worthless dialogue options, copypasted story and characters from previous games and one book no one read, etc.

It seems that the quest log from the beta has been data mined to reveal lots of story details. Mass effect fan circles seem to be in shock and horror that the magnum opus of their beloved franchise continues to trivialize one's choices.

It was originally posted at Bioware.ru, but the post has been deleted. Searched around, and found this summary saved at http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/995452-mass-effect-3/60906897.

Not sure if it is fake, but Stanley Woo is vigorously end-of-lining any mention of the leaked details, lending credibility to the idea that the leak might be real.

DEM superweapon ending.
Shepard must now make his final decision - to control the Reapers, to destroy the Reapers, or if they had a perfect game to become one with the Reapers.
