 Do people watch Retrun of the Jedi before A New Hope? Do they watch Return of the King before Fellowship of the Ring?

[JeffZero]

Do they even watch Alien 3?

Yeah, I agree with you. You'll find most do. Lol marketing, basically. It's... Pretty bad.

This year's product is superior in many ways to last year's product.

I can sum the entire trilogy up in 2 words.

"Reapers attack"

Yeah, no reason that ME3 shouldn't be a good entry point.

What do you expect marketing to say? "Don't play this game if you haven't touched the others"?

That'd be hilarious, though.

I saw Jedi years before Empire and it had no effect on my love of the series.

I actually did watch Return before a New Hope and I was so lost.

Probably what anyone who believes the marketing will feel like.

Its just a marketing mechanic. Obviously starting at the beggining provides the player with a much fuller experience, more backstory, more character background, the chance to develop relationships with your squadmates and learn their story etc.

They've produced the game in a way that starting at Me3 will be bearable, but it is much obviously better to start at the first game and work your way up, and person thats played the previous two titles can tell you that.

it's just Marketing.

Wouldn't it also be great if he said "There's plenty of time to go out and play through the other 2 games before this one comes out".

Would that not, if people followed through, also make them money? And sound significantly less ridiculous.

Exactly.  "You know, this is the last game in the trilogy, but don't play it unless you've played the first two - points finger at PS3 users, yeah you guys are out of luck"

Marketing.

I caught that line as well, where he said,“ ME 3 was designed from the ground up to be the entry point for the franchise.”

I'll have to play it backwards then - 3 - 2 - 1 and see if it gets better. 

I'd guess he was inferring that the co-op play was the easiest way for someone unfamiliar with the series to play it. (shrug)

Marketing slogan. What they should say though is "Me1 and me2 will give your me3 game more depth" Something that atleast has a hint of truth in it.

[Chuvvy]

Because it is. ME3 is incredibly stand alone, so much so it could have started with ME3, and it might have been better, at least from a plot progression standpoint.

I think Marketing is saying it is the best entry point in the series as it is the best overall installment to the series. The graphics are better, the combat is better, the writing is as good if not better, the story installment is better, and for someone who has not played any ME game before, they understand the basics easier than before (well, certainly than ME2).

I see everyone here complaining that "it isn't the best jumping on point" yet pretty much everyone I see say this knows ME1 and 2. Don't get me wrong, if you are thinking of ME strictly as a story, they yes, it is not the best jumping on point. However, if you look at each of the games as a stand alone entity, then yes I do think ME3 is the best jumping on point as the team has refined their craft best at this point.

This doesn't mean that ME and ME2 aren't also great in what they are. Personally, if a new player came up to me and asked which should they play first, I would probably say ME3. Just like most Star Wars fans say that Empire is the best Star Wars movie. It doesn't mean you can't see teh oterh films or that they aren't worth watching, just like you can play ME, then ME2 then ME3 or ME3 then ME2 then ME or whatever.

I find that it is fans who get upset by this statement as I think they feel slighted (somehow) and that their love of the previous games isn't important so they take umbridge and get upset. People need to remember that Marketing mostly speaks to non-fans to try to make them fans. This doesn't mean that what they say isn't true, just that what they say does not always reflect what core fans already know.

You can pick up Saints Row the Third without having to ever play the other two...

In no way is that a remotely sensible comparison.

I'm surprised you even have to say that.

What?

[JeffZero]

Good post, Chris. Fair enough. I think I would still tell people asking me which Star Wars movie to start with to go for A New Hope, though.

So not the first movie in the series then? I guess you prove my point.
