There is nothing within Mass Effect 2 that qualifies it being an RPG. You can have RPG shooters, it's called STALKER.

Mass Effect 2 is no Stalker.

RPGs are role playing games, games in which you play as a character in a setting. I think Mass Effect qualifies in that sense.

In any case, I can sort of see how a Mass Effect MMO might work, but I wouldn't prefer it. If it were me, I'd rather stick to something like the Cerberus Daily News roleplay that's been going on. Mass Effect deserves more than devolving into a series of grinding and repetitive quests.

Then again, I wouldn't mind if I could make a Blasto.

It'd make sense?

I thought the whole premise of Mass Effect is that Shepard is the only one individual out of all the species capable of saving the galaxy...?

Wasn't that the whole reason they brought you back in ME2?

That gets diminished a little when you have another 3.5 million volus Spectres running around doing the same job.

As much As I dont want it To, I think The old Republic is going to fail.. I really dont think bioware should Do mmo . and the resources that are being spent on it seem to show in the latest Dragonage , or at least thats what i tell myself.

Ive Loved bioware games up untill recently , as of lately im now Not buying new bioware releases and waiting to check it out before i Spend hard earned dollars.

MMO's can go get flushed down the toilet... first they fuck up Knights of the Old Republic, and now it's the turn of Mass Effect, next i bet you it'll be a Dragon Age MMO...

why not doing something about creating a way to play games/mods -kind of like Neverwinter Nights- in Online mode, and thinking about doing it compatible for consoles also?

In the concept it's a good idea, but in practice it hasn't been done yet;
that's the kind of innovation i'm hoping for anyway.
