Mass Effect 3 Trailer

[(TLL)TheLastSnowman]

Finally! The trailer for the 3rd Mass Effect. One of the best game series of all time in my opinion.

Finally?  Old news, bud...

Seen it on Gametrailers quite a while ago, doesn't say much about the game really, besides the Reapers finally having arrived, but the quality of the trailer is absolutely impressive

Not to shit on you guys parade or anything, but am I the only one who found the Mass Effect series to be seriously lacking?

I'm guessing purely from your avatar and signature image that the game didn't have enough ecstasy raves in it for you

for me thought I had a good time playing both of them, though I hate what they did to the shotguns in the 2nd one when they instituted limited ammo

Bioware hasn't made a truly excellent game since KOTOR in my humble opinion. Dragon Age managed to be even more generic than Oblivion, and Mass Effect's action is awful. I know it's supposed to have a standout story, but dialog trees are NOT good storytelling. Take a cue from Valve in that department, why don't you.

No it just wasn't convincing enough, i grew up playing the likes of Baldurs Gate, Icewind Dale, Fallout 1/2, Planescape Torment and many many others.

I just felt that it was a lazier version of those sort of games, also KOTOR 1 and 2 were very good, but i also found Dragonage fairly lacking.

Also i've never been to a rave in my life, don't confuse humour with personality.

I too was stabbing at humour, but yeah I grew up on Baldur's gate and all those as well. I also enjoyed KOTOR and also found Dragonage to be one of the worst RPG gaming experiences ever.   Perhaps where Mass Effect went "wrong" for some is just that it was actually primarly an FPS rather than a traditional type of RPG experience. I don't think it necessarily makes it worse just different and some people don't like that.

[Bill]

Yeah i get you, i just felt both suffered from underdevelopment. So in the end you got a second rate action game with dialogue trees.

Personally I liked the adding of ammo because it added a little more cognizance than the first one. Rather than just running in and shooting like crazy you actually have to watch your ammo. I also agree that dragon age was pretty bad and that KOTOR was awesome. However I have actually really enjoyed all  of the mass effects' storylines. I like how you can choose your way in a FPS and that it actually makes a difference in the world. I thought they did a better job of this in the second than in the first. I felt like in the first one a lot of the side missions were pointless but in the second one some of them really do have big consequences. One of my buddies who I live with actually just sits and watches me play mass effect whenever a new one comes out just to watch the story of the game. *shrug*

^Yeah I know but I just saw it the other day so it was/is new news for me^

Although any realistic army would probably prefer unlimited ammo over clips if they could
Especially if a highly trained commando can only carry a small bunch of clips with him, because... Actually I've got no clue why >_>
Why the heck did everyone switch to ammo based weapons again?

only reason I can think of is because when you got all the high level equipment late in the game you could have a machine gun that never overheated, just fired forever. But none of the other weapons really could do that as far as I recall.

I thought Mass effect was "solid" not ground breaking or anything.  The Voice acting was top notch, especially in ME2.  ME3 trailer feels to "Halo Reach" for me.  But i'll still get it cause i've played them all.

Dragon Age, was more of a case of a another solid RPG that pays homage to the classics in the right ways.

[DFDelta]

I played both Mass Effects, and I liked them.
I did not expect a pure RPG like so many others, but more of a Shooter with massive RPG elements. Something like the first Deus Ex was.
Also, I really love the small things that change in ME2 depending on what you did in ME1. Small details like that are what makes a game special IMHO, and such things make sure that a game is remembered.

I guess that is why I look forward to ME3 so much, I can't wait to find out what my actions in ME1 and 2 bring with them.
For example, I have freed the Rachni Queen in ME1, and I was nice to the Rachni messenger in ME2, so what will it bring in ME3?
Will there be a massive Rachni fleet joining the battle at one point, and saving the day (and most likely the lives of crew members), or will the queen break our promise and attack other sentinent races like her ancestors did?

I left her locked in the lab with my second character, so what will happen there?

Things like that are what makes games great.



Dragon Age was a huge disappointment.
I was expecting game playing in the same league as Baldurs Gate, but DA never got anywhere near it.
I have finished it anyways, but I was never as hooked as I was with Baldurs Gate, or even Neverwinter Nights.
How so many gaming magazines could have chosen it as game of the year or RPG of the year is beyond me, it was all hyped but did not even closely live up to it.
