Mass Effect definitely did grow in popularity but until it has launches like Halo 2 and 3 I'm not going to say it has taken over a country yet less the world.

100% This.

C'mon Kotor man!

You've been a forumite long enough to know the rules! Inevitably, every thread is invaded by the crowd of successful writers, video game designers and entrepeneurs who all know how to make a better game than Bioware. They will insult the game and its fans (usually drawing from an extensive library of complaints ranging from "not rpg enough" to "Skyrim is so much better"). Then they will proceed to agree with one another, usually using the "it's just constructive criticism" defense before launching a diatribe of melodramatic nonsense punctuated with: RIP Bioware 1996-2007.

Because you have to be a master chef to know the soup tastes bad, am I right?


And when the soup tastes bad, do you hang around the restaurant all day, telling the happy customers what idiots they are and how you know what makes good soup despite never cooking a day in your life?

You know your game took over the World when movies are pushed back because they don't want to compete with your game's release.

Just ask Rockstar about GTA IV.

Sometimes i think bioware is living in a bubble. I think bioware tries too much to create a "it prints money" type game but fail everytime.

Would having Mass Effect take over the world even be a bad thing?

August 19th, 2013: "NASA Accelerates Research, USS Normandy due for Launch in 6 Weeks"
With experiments on a sub-50 ton Fusion reactor complete, and lab-made eezo tests running smoothly, engineers at NASA have rebuilt the SR1 to scale, and have included genuine anti-proton engines. Colonization of other planets expected by 2014...

If a mod trolls the community, is it really trolling?:D

No it hasn't but I think Mass Effect 3 is gonna be one of the biggest releases this generation by a great margin. EA is gonna market the heck out of it and with all the well known acclaim of 2 and just the growing word of mouth popularity and most all, the massive hype from fans are all gonna push sales through the roof

I think it would be a sad, sad world if it had been taken over by Mass Effect. I mean, don't get me wrong, the Mass Effect games are somewhere in the decent to pretty good range, but they're lacking that certain magic that some other games have had.

I will give them that Mass Effect may have killed a genre, though.

It's a good indicator that Mass Effect hasn't even "taken over" the gaming industry when it's own fans shoot down that statement.

Not that that's a bad thing though, it's only telling the truth.

Oh...

You were being serious.  :huh:

It's not even remotely close to taking over the world.

If it was, there would have been no need to "streamline" *gag* the elements that made ME1 : the best game Bioware has ever made, and turn it into ME2 : the worst.

hehe...first thing I thought of when I read Chris' post.

Sure, it's a pretty good series but damn people.

Yes and no. It is for the fans, however it's more fan focused and not really all over the media. I give props to Halo on that one. That and I also believe either ME3 or Halo 4 will have the biggest launch for 2012. We'll just have to wait and find out.

Halo will get bigger numbers but not because it is a better game or anything.  As I said in an earlier post Mass Effect takes more commitment to play than Halo.  The Halo franchise is centered around the multiplayer experience meaning you could fire up the xbox play a few multiplayer matches for about 40 minutes or so and then turn it off.  Mass Effect on the other hand requires you to invest more time in your game as you play as your Shepard.  My average ME 1 run takes me 30 hours (give or take a few) and my average ME 2 run is close to 50 (DLC included) and I am guessing ME 3 will at least be another 30.  That is well over 100 hours per Shepard some people just don't have that kind of time to invest in a game series.  I think of the two Halo is more accessible but Mass Effect is more rewarding (for me at least).

I wish ME would take over ME2 and make it an RPG again instead of another generic shooter.

No, it has not. I don't see any government buildings using the Systems Alliance logo.

Yes, because most shooters have three-member parties with two who are chosen from a selection of 12 possibilities, biotic and tech powers that can be upgraded after leveling up from gaining XP, extensive dialogue trees with squadmates and with NPCs in hub areas, a combat-free "home base" to which you regularly return, romances, save importing, etc.

It's the bigger franchise, simple as that.

Pfff. Only 50 hours. 60 hours with only Arrival and LOTSB, beat that!:D

You do have to invest a lot of time into Mass Effect to beat it but not to play it. I've been playing the first Mass Effect in short burst lately, just like playing Halo multiplayer matches.
