The ability to sodomize anyone and anything you want in dialogue?
This would be awesome.

Everything BioWare does is epic now-a-days.

Every Bio game was advertised as epic.

"MDK2: Armageddon is an excellent game that is both original and very challenging. It will test all of your adventure gaming skills and have you coming back for more. With a tight engine, great gameplay and control and graphics that, at times, are up with the best that PS2 has to offer, MDK2:A is much more of an epic title than we have the right to expect this early in the life of the PS2."

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

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

Why do you lie?

Hahah I can't even get my friend to try out Mass Effect 1 at half price on his new X360. When I told him Carth is there and the whole thing is like KOTOR 1 rehash, he immediately says 'No. I rather play KOTOR 3 if it's ever out'

I nevar lie

There wasn't any auto-aim in the PC version. It handles like a normal third-person shooter. Did you play the Xbawks version?

They didn't mention improving the combat. I might skip the next one since the combat in the first one was really bad, although it could have been okay with a few tweaks (such as fixing the broken squad-mate AI)

Bio's Marketing list of acceptable adjectives to describe titles (may use more than one):

Epic
Heroic
Dark
Extreme
Action
Vast
Lesbian
EPIC

List of acceptable nouns:

Fantasy
Science Fiction
RPG
Adventure
World
Universe
Romance

With the above lists you can easily create entire press releases capable of describing any game they produce:

Mass Effect 2 is a heroic, epic science-fiction RPG which takes players on an extreme action adventure to a vast universe of epic lesbian romances.

There is auto-aim in PC version - you can just make the area affected by it, aka Circle of Doom, smaller. What is bad with such auto-aims - no matter the size of targeting circle - there are no local damage. Head = body, hand = head. So no - it isn't a normal third-person shooter.

Look what else I found on that website:
http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/DialogueTree

Planescape Torment. On dear Lord, Planescape Torment. The game is literally built on this, it's used for virtually any interaction more complicated than opening a door or picking up an item, and when used in conversation the trees get obscenely long and elaborate, to the point that you spend far more time in them than actually exploring and/or fighting. Often you even have two identical dialog options, only one of them is you telling the truth and the other is a lie.

Mass Effect handles this in such a way that you can choose which option you want your character to say, before the current speaker has finished their line. It certainly helps to keep the flow of the conversation, and prevents most instances of Paused Interrupt.
:D

I'm likely the only one here who enjoyed the desolate planet sidequesting. I thought it was fitting that the planets were desolate. And athmospherically, it worked to the games favor that the planets had nothing on them. It really gave you the feeling that you found yourself in outer space.

In before "shut the fuck up you're the new village idiot Vibalist".

I played ME1 and didn't even see the lesbian sex scene. Talk about short changed.

Well you made the CHOICE of not being female and/or not persuing the hot blue alien chick, and the CONSEQUENCE was that you didn't get to shag her...
