BioWare: "We're Not Done" With Mass Effect

[blackrave]

Great, except I'm done with ME
I only played ME2 and ME3 because of ME1 (the best game in series)
Story is done, so I can finally say FU to EA and ignore all their releases.
(and according to comments I'm not the only one)

Also EA, I know you like milking dead horses, but how about salvaging C&C Tiberium universe?
After atrocity that was C&C4 (story-wise) it is still possible.

 

[Thoric485]

Bioware should be swapped out with EA in the title.

 

[Metalrocks]

i think i will get the the SP DLCs since the last one was actually really good and did answer some questions. but a full game on top of it...i dont think so. unless it really has something else to deliver i might consider it but as for now, ME is done for me.

 

[Sheo_Dagana]

Your trilogy is over... please, stop. I expect this from Halo, but I expect better things from you, BioWare. Just make a whole new IP. I'm excited that something new IS coming, but lets just get to that right away.

 

[MetalMagpie]

It would have to be set some time in the future, though, to allow for mass relay travel.

Or in the past, before the reapers show up.

If Bioware's next IP involves not-Europe in the not-Medieval era and elves in any way, I call shenanigans on usage of the term "new".

I seem to recall Yahtzee having a great line about "the same few square foot of Tolkien's back garden". Here's hoping for a game about elephant-faced astro-nomads who build their cities on the backs of space whales and travel the galaxy in search of a cure to their debilitating skin condition. And have Brian Blessed voice the player character.

Actually, just have Brian Blessed voice the player character. I'd buy pretty much any game that does that.

They may be not done with it but i'm done with mass effect and bioware.

Personally I'd quite like anti-climatic.

I've said before that my perfect videogame would be a detective/cop style game set in one of these fictional universes, and Mass Effect has always been one I'd enjoy the msot.

Mass Effect: C-Sec would have you sign on as a C-Sec officer and work your way up through the ranks handling drug busts, murders, robberies. Everything that happens in day to day life. The moral choice system could still be used as you become either a Dirty Harry style cop or a good guy cop, you could have a partner with whom you have Lethal Weapon style adventures, and you could also include all of the usual quirks of Mass Effect, like Keepers, aliens and SPECTRES.

All the joy of the great cop/detective movies and shows, combined with the fun of the ME universe. It'd be great!

There will be two forms of opinion on this
A) The silent majority, might be cool - worth a go whatever
B) The vocal minority, "you can't resurrect the dead by digging it up and screwing it" which also happens to be a horrible joke I heard somewhere

 

[Dandark]

Too bad I didn't buy ME3 and don't plan to buy anything from Bioware/EA ever again. The only possible exception being DA3 but that's only because they haven't released enough info about it to turn me off yet, im sure they are working on the advertisments for the 8 different day 1 DLC packs.

 

[Valanthe]

The only way to beat ME3 is scale is to go smaller. Mae its a much more personal story rather than "hurdur now its the UNIVERSE!"

I totally agree with this point, the only issue is that's exactly what they did for Dragon Age 2, and so many people complained about that. Granted there were more complaints aimed at the change in gameplay, (I for one didn't mind the faster pace, but the fact it was padded out by having the enemies trickle in like a crummy beat-em-up rather than having a challenging fight irked me.) but the smaller story got its unfair share of flak as well.

Personally though, I love smaller, personal stories. At the end of their respective games, I cared a lot more about the citizens of Kirkwall than I did about the much larger population of Ferelden.

And to get back on the topic of the thread, I was disappointed with Mass Effect 3's ending, sure, but I still remember the 98% of the game that was pure gold, and so I have high hopes for whatever they decide to do, and I'm sure they won't (entirely) disappoint.

 

[BENZOOKA]

Of course they're not done with it.

All the hype and fuzz and aftermath and corrections and media buzz... Who would let all that go to waste, if they have any sense about marketing.

 

[phantasmalWordsmith]

I'm hoping it'll be good but I can't make assumptions yet. I'd like to explore the citadel more thoroughly, rather than just the relatively few floors we got to see through in the trilogy.

 

[vrbtny]

Really I think all things considered ME2 could probably be considered the highlight of the series, it could have been ME3 except for well, you know

I know that's what everyone says, but i just can't agree with them. I just found ME2 rather.... dull. Most of the new characters were dull, but at least Garrus got to prove the bad-ass that he was in is ME2. The gunplay was tragically dull, the lack of RPG elements, etc.

I don't want to be another one of those millions of threads that popped up around the release of ME2 saying how much it sucked.

I didn't think ME2 was particularly bad.... it was just dull to me. The amount of time wasted doing planet-scanning, pointless side-quests, conversations with people you're about to kill in 3 seconds....

And the story being non-existant didn't help.

"Yeah, there's some bad-guys, but we're not going to let you confront them.... because you haven't arbitrary recruited enough monkeys/turians to fight with you."

I've got an entire fucking ship full of Cerberus operatives, why can't you just give me some squadrons of those commando's that randomly appear all the time in ME3, and I'll go fuck up some collectors.

Spoiler

At least in Mass Effect 1 you had Saren, and had to discover that he was the least compelling bad-guy in years

 

[Zortack]

I wonder if the founders just couldnt handle seeing their company fall from grace. Regardless of how you personally felt about ME3, DAII or SWTOR, non can deny their receptions were less than warm.

As far as Im concerned Bioware died after ME2. Just a stinking sub-company of EA now, making games for money rather than love.

 

[ksn0va]

Ray and Greg are done... so am I.

 

[Rude as HECK]

Hey. Hey. Hey.

Screw you guys. I like the series and I'll consider getting this DLC.
