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

I just hope it can at least reach the standards of Dead Space: Downfall.

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.

Mass Effect 2 is one of the best games of the last 10 years...and I love (most) anime...but I'm not getting my hopes up for this or the Dragonage one.

Just looking at the conversions of Western properties to anime (Animatrix, Halo, Batman, yet to see Wolverine or Iron Man but have not heard much positive) they're average to ok at best.

Haha this is pretty cool news for me to be honest. Will it be good, I really couldn't tell. Ill definitely watch it though. Well, here's to hoping they don't butcher Mass Effect. Maybe it'll be ok like that Dead Space animated movie.

Needs more Tali, Liara, and Samara ecchi scenes hahaha. Well one can dream right...

I wonder which of the media (books, games, etc.) in the series they will cover, or if the content will be original?

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.

It had damn well better be if they know what's good for them. ...though I highly disapprove of giving Thane's voice to Rossiu. I can't marry him. He's weird. 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.

Don't give them ideas...

You just know the anime Normandy will have a hot spring, and there's bound to be some beach episode planets.

Virmire was a beach planet.

What do you know? They can fit it in with the plot.

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'.

Okay, okay. Aaaanyways, I'm watching this even if it is terrible. 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.

Yeah they'll have to use someone other than Shepard. Although if they were to use him no doubt it would be paragon Shepard (so in other words no punching news reporters).

I'm gonna assume you don't know what the fuck your talking about. You play the role of Shepard in a fictional universe and make choices for your character as you move through the narrative. How is this not an RPG?

Am I the only one who thinks this will fail horribly? Because it will. I'm calling it right now.

Anyone even remotely connected to the gaming scene will know that EA's marketing department have been a bunch of nitwits the last couple of years. They're stopped caring about making quality games, just making sure as many people buy it. This is no different, just another gimmicky tactic to garner more publicity. Heck some of EA's other campaigns cost more than making an anime.

The game doesn't even translate well into an anime. What happened to player-driven dialogue and story? I want to decide if I help someone or shoot them in the face, not let some director in an office do it for me. The only way to avoid this is to not feature Shepherd... no sorry, no Shepherd just isn't going to work. And I don't see how they're going to translate some of the voice acting into Japanese, IF it's going to be Japanese at all. Last thing we need is for Mordin's hilarity to be lost in translation. *sigh*

Instead of doing this, why not spend some time and money fixing the giant turd that is Dragon Age 2? Fucking EA dipshits.

And yet most of the choices you make have very little impact on the story, it just determines who survives at the end of the suicide mission nothing more.

And let me tell you I know what Im talking about, I have been a bioware fan for quite a long while but ever since EA acquired them they went downhill. Didnt even bother to buy Dragon age 2.

It also determines whether you survive in the end, meaning you won't be able to use your own Shepard in Mass Effect 3 if you don't make it in Mass Effect 2.

They did it many times with VN-based anime. Though I have to admit I hated almost all of them.. But, this kind of anime seem to be having a lot of fans, too. Considering that ME don't have player-driven storyline as "strong" as most VNs, I think they'll be fine... well.. I hope... umm..oh, hell, I think you're right.. I have a serious bad feeling about this..
