Uh I guess I can understand that. Though I'm not sure about your police analogy. O.o You compare a videogame with a life and death situation. I'm pretty sure people value their life more than a videogame. Of course I would thank the people who saved my life. 

I wish my wife thanked or congratulated me for going to work every day.

Is Games on Demand and the PSN service really that profitable? Do people even use the service? I can't imagine anyone doing that, the price is never justified.

lol no I didn't mean to compare making a good game to saving your life, I just meant that we're not congratulating them for just doing their job, more like congratulating them for doing their job well.

haha Im sure your wife thanks you in other ways though...

games on demand on PSN really is profitable, I have a PS3 and being able to buy and download a ton of full games without even going anywhere is GREAT. It really is a profitable service, and makes various games more accessible to people.

Wait so you buy full games on PSN? I can understand buying Indy and Arcade games because I do that too but full retail games? Isn't that a bit expensive? Most of the time you can get it somewhere else cheaper, you don't even have to look that hard.

Yeah I get full games on PSN because a lot of times they're exclusive to PSN or only downloadable through PSN and XBLA. But sometimes there will be a "full" game like ME2 on PSN and Ill buy it through the online service because for the 10 bucks more I get it right away, dont have to go anywhere and have a backup for download anytime I want.

So my choice is go to the store for standard price, go to amazon.com or something for 10 or 5 bucks less, or get it right away for standard price and be able to have unlimited downloads without ever leaving the house.

Like I said, that's not even considering the games I can ONLY get on PSN. So yeah, personally I get tons of stuff off of PSN.

I don't get the hate on the PS3 version.

They want to increase the fanbase of a really great series. They want more people to be able to play the game.

Why would anyone who loves Mass Effect think this is a bad thing?

They didn't make the PS-3 port to increase their fanbase. EA, Electronic Arts, forced them to so that they can make an extra profit. All hail the EA overlords, praise be that is them.

Got any actual evidence?  Or you just running your mouth keyboard?

Yay gratz... now when do we get a Mac version? I'm tired of resorting to my Windows PC to play BW games.

[Phaedon]

EA is pretty cool actually. They allowed the development of Mass Effect Chronicles and their support is helpful.

Ah okay... I'm a bit of a cheapskate. I want to get the games as cheap as possible, I will search the whole internet if I had to.

Well ss long as we're jumping to conclusions, I'm going to go ahead and guess that you're an Xbox guy. I remember some of this same talk when Mass Effect 1 was ported to the PC. Until then, it was an Xbox excusive. It was a crown jewel, showing the dominace of the Xbox, blah blah blah. When a PC version was announced, my Xbox friends were complaining about how this was taking away development cycles on any possible DLC or sequels, and that Bioware shouldn't bother.

Well I'd like to buy whoever cracked the whip and "forced" Bioware port it out to PC a beer. Because the time I've spent playing both Mass Effect 1 and 2 has garnered some of the finest entertainment I've had in any medium, TV, movie, games, books or whatever. And I never would have found out otherwise because I certainly wasn't going to buy a whole new platform to play one game.

PS3 peeps, may your Shepards bag the love interest of your choice, and your Normandies never run out of probes!

By the way, Bioware, Baldur's Gate was the shiznit. Keep 'em coming on whatever platform EA "forces" you to.

I just wanted to come here irrespective of several people posting "gtfo bw and mek me me3" and give a good pat on BioWare's backs. Great work, several of my friends who are going to order the game. Too bad this thread has been soiled by the few, but hey, whatever. Good job BW!

 

Yes it is a shame isnt it. 

@ElectricZ

Exactly I played it on PC and bought an Xbox also to play it (among other games). It was wonderful. I have friends who couldn't play it  because they lacked access to a PC, had a Mac,  or didnt have a PS3.  So for them this is great news. On that note I'll add to your little mantra.

May your minerals be abundant and the stars bright.

LOL he has a point, if Bioware hadn't made ME for PC as well, then even I would never had gotten to play the ME goodness.

So yeah, more ports are a good thing!

@Whereto - No I understand that the first game was made by Microsoft, and the second one should have been made by Microsoft too.

@SomeKindaEnigma - If you can give me one good reason that Bioware should have made the PS-3 version of the game except for EA forcing them to do it so EA can make a profit do tell me. Because if you can I might just retract my statement. I love both consoles too so this isn't a Console fan war on my behalf. So go ahead explain just why it was a good idea to do a Port? Oh and as far as I can tell Bioware doesn't listen to their "Fan Base"

Well kind sir I do believe there is a general consensus that PS3-owners in general were disappointed that ME was not released on it alongside the 360 and pc (which I guess may be understandable considering the first game was a microsoft release), so I view it in a sense as "righting a wrong".  I say that because it seems to me (correct me if I'm wrong) that the option was on the table to make ME2 for the PS3 when they originally made it for the 360 and PC since it was not a microsoft release like the first, but obviously Bioware did not.

I'm a 360/pc owner/player, so I can tell you first hand I'm not gonna forgive the makers of, for instance, the SOCOM games for never making it for anything other than the playstation consoles.  I love those games but I'm not gonna go out and buy a PS3 just to play them.  The same can be said about PS3 owners who have tried/played the ME games but aren't gonna buy a new console just to get them.  I understand where they're coming from.  Of course releasing ME2 for the PS3 is another avenue for monetary gain, however, I think it's more of a fan service than anything.  This kind of thing helps a company's reputation/confidence among other things.

Hooray for ME2 on PS3 out in the United States today!!!



*activates indoctrination*



AMERICAN PS3 OWNERS - ME2 IS YOUR SALVATION - HUMAN - I KNOW YOU WILL BUY THIS - AND ENJOY IT - PREPARE FOR YOUR ASCENSION - I KNOW YOU FEEL (good about) THIS - YOU MUST ASSUME CONTROL ...*with your sixasis controller*....





lol now all PS3 players have to go get ME2 to get the joke.

[Giga Drill BREAKER]

ME1 should be on PSN not 2

[Whereto]

ASSUMING DIRECT CONTROL



PS3 players, you will find salvation in the search function.





On a serious note, let's hope it goes well and we have some new people that will add something to forums debates. Will be cool so see some new faces

Contact Microsoft.  They'll essentially tell you to f*ck off, but they'll be really polite about it.

[paulpaulius]

I just want to say I have the game on preorder and I'm really looking forward to trying it out. Thanks Bioware

Yes Congrates on wasting your time with ME-2 on the Playstation, what a pointless and stupid Idea seeing as you will make almost no money on it and you could have spent that time working on ME-3 or DLC. Not to mention the fact that you should have also converted the original ME if you wanted to actually make a profit because who buys a game when they haven't even played the first one and they have no idea whats going on...Good luck Genisis

*sniff sniff* I smell a troll. Look despite how you feel about the release on PS3 it IS an incredibly hard job to transfer something of ME2's caliber to another console it wasn't originally designed for. The dev's on this project work hard everyday so we the greedy fans can enjoy their art.  

So how DARE you! I'd like to see you rewrite and transition a complex game like that to another console. The fact that its on the PS3 now gives us a chance to bring our PS3 iz superior buddies to the darkside to have some Ezo flavored cookies.

It's haters like you that make my blood boil. Good day sir! 

How dare I critisize a company for doing something that is unnecessary? I'm a devote Bioware fan but I know when to crack the whip, and what they are doing by bringing the Mass Effect franchise to the PS-3 is unintelleigence at its highest level. I don't see why we should let them get away with things like this, when they could have devoted so much more time to making Mass Effect 3 or new Downloadable Content.

Why should we congratulate them because EA ( Electronic Arts the parent company that Bioware sold out to) Forced them to convert the game over to the PS-3, I can see three reasons wrong with this.

1. The orignal game was on the XBOX-360. So its not like your are going to have crazy fans buying the game because they liked the sequel so much; Not to mention the common sense fact that people who already own the game arn't going to buy it for the Playstation either.

2. What is the point of making a game if the player can't get the full experience because they didn't play Mass Effect 1, they say that genesis is going to fix the problem but I doubt it seeing as it is going to leave out chunks of what happened out of it. So they are just getting an "improved" canon version of the game.

3. How much money are they expecting to make? They could have released 2 DLC packages or an Expansion pack and made ten times what they are going to be making on this PS-3 venture. Common logic says that you arn't going to make money off of a game that was already made for exclusively for another console because people wont buy a game that they already have and the fact that they don't have a fan base for the PS-3 because the original game was made for the 360.

I'm not a troll, I have a PS-3 and like it but I am not going to get a game I already have. When it comes down to it I am a person using common sense to make an arguement.

Yes the developers worked hard to convert the game for the PS-3, and if they actually did something worth while like LOTSB was then I would praise them, but now they have to work twice as hard to make DLC and ME-3 for both consoles and you can Quality of the games to diminish.

None of these statements are based in fact.  Only insane conjecture.  Come back when you're ready to have a real discussion.
