The fanboy inside of me keeps telling me that too. DA:O was a good game, idk what they had to screw it up with DA 2. And besides, RPG's today do not belong to the same elitistic-hardcore genre like they used to 15 years ago. Today they more casual and accessible for "normal people" but that's nor reason to kill a genre with shitty releases every single year. |

| well well well.... interesting indeed |
| The game is already adapted into novels and comics and there is a live action adaptation coming up.I guess a tv series adaptation is next. |
| I'm more interested in the live-action Mass Effect film, but I guess this should keep me entertained for a while. Unless of course they've scrapped a live-action film in favour of an anime one. I hope that isn't the case though. |
Mr. Wonsworth, you may NOT eat my scones! |
| I played it on an internet rental...and hated it... Left4Dead was even better IMO.. EDIT: except the Visual Novel-like patterns.. |

I know for a fact they aren't in the live-action film. Cashdaxxx said: I played it on an internet rental...and hated it... Left4Dead was even better IMO.. EDIT: except the Visual Novel-like patterns.. So a game with no story is better than an RPG. Lol. |
| Mr. Wonsworth, you may NOT eat my scones! |
| Except ME is not much of an RPG... |

| Now thats interesting news. Both ME and DA universes are big and rich with lore. Anime movie will add to ME worlds glory no matter how shitty it will be. |

bergil said: bloodlover said: Except ME is not much of an RPG... What is it, then? In a league of its own. Above boring RPG's such as Morrowind and Oblivion. |
| Mr. Wonsworth, you may NOT eat my scones! |
| Great news; I'm actually looking forward to it... |
bergil said: bloodlover said: Except ME is not much of an RPG... What is it, then? Action game with narrow and limited dialogue options. Planescape: Torment or Fallout 2 are great examples of great RPG's. And yes even Morrowind is better because of the lore and world. |

Treekodar said: Yeah, that's my point. Maybe it's just because I never really liked sci-fi too much.So a game with no story is better than an RPG. Lol. |

matrixtrap said: My body is ready. Hopefully it doesn't disappoint. I just hope it can at least reach the standards of Dead Space: Downfall. |
| Mr. Wonsworth, you may NOT eat my scones! |
bergil said: bloodlover said: Except ME is not much of an RPG... What is it, then? Some piece of crap? Along with the rest of Bioware games except Baldur's Gate 2. |
jpem said: whats with the ME hate in this thread. Well, the topic is about Mass Effect, and since this is in the news forum it will raise your post count. Increased post count + an opportunity to entice a flame war is something only a handful choose not to utilize I suppose. |
| Mr. Wonsworth, you may NOT eat my scones! |
| wow. That's it was a surprise |
| they had better not screw it up. |
| Mass Effect is one of my favorite video game series. I hope they don't mess this shit up. |
 |
| So many things that can go wrong... I know I'm going to be disappointed by it, but will watch nonetheless. |
| I wonder which of the media (books, games, etc.) in the series they will cover, or if the content will be original? NGECoachstonian said: Needs more Tali, Liara, and Samara ecchi scenes hahaha. Well one can dream right... ROFL! Mass Effect and ecchi scenes... not that Mass Effect didn't have them, but to see them put into anime ecchi... I laugh just thinking of about it! xD But, perhaps this movie will be interesting? So far the American entertainment anime adaptions have been less than spectacular. Well, one can hope. |

D: But yeah I'm just going to turn my music up super loud and ignore any bad things people say about this movie. This isn't me insisting the movie will be a masterpiece. This is me being in denial that it will be anything but a masterpiece, because otherwise my inner fangirl is just going to sob and never stop. |

waran4 said: uh no?Best news of the day. Best. News. Ever. |
| Well I was really pleased with the game so I just hope movie won't make a bad impression. |
Ultimately, there is a freedom to take the consequences (Terry Pratchett)     |
| I hope they don't mess this up, seeing as Mass Effect is one of my favorite RPG series of all time... |
bergil said: bloodlover said: Except ME is not much of an RPG... What is it, then? It's a dating simulator. and This anime is going to be retarded. There is absolutely no reason for them to do this other then milking this series for all the money its worth (and after that pile of shit that was ME2 it isn't worth much). Going to be a giant waste of space just like that 'halo anime'. |
| I don't have the best of feelings from this, but nonetheless, I'll stay tuned >_>. |

I wonder if they'll have any of the original ME cast or if it's just a spin-off. Considering their approach to every single other spin off material it won't feature Shepard at all. That way you can insert the side material as "Canon" material into your own storyline for ME. Since each players story is different. I vote for them doing the Rachni war, or Cerberus before Shep. Something in the past that would expand upon blank space. |
| I think I might not watch it. |
| I might just watch to see how lame it'll turn out. |
 |
| First Dead Space now Mass Effect. Another anime production from EA Games? This is gonna be a laugh |
| Please don't mess this up. Please don't mess this up. Please don't... |
     |
| I doesn't matter if they mess it up, if they include Commander Shepard in the anime I can add Shepard in my favorite characters :3 |
