Considering that 1/5th of the people who bought Mass Effect 2 in the first week would be four hundred thousand people, uhm, no. That doesn't seem like a waste to me.


How do you know this? I remember seeing these stats on Rock, Paper Shotgun around September 2010. I didn't expect the Bioware statistics as shown by RPS to be so very outdated.


http://www.1up.com/n...ct-2-week-sales

1/5 of 2 million = 400,000
Cost of the game is $60 so 60 x 400,000 = $24,000,000

Even if EA only got half of that, that is still $12,000,000 and that was only in the first week.

Femshep fans are incredibly sensitive. If he is a troll, you're not helping by being such easy targets.

Yes, it was worth it. What's wrong with giving people options?

Why are people so serious? Why not lighten up, it's just a game. Life must be pretty good for you guys if you're getting emotional in regards to a game.

Life must be pretty sad for you, if the only thing you can think of to do is troll these forums.

If you consider an eye-roll as an emotion, then yes, every person who has responded to you is getting emotional.

Yeah. I've been to a few forums, but this one seems to need special treatment. So sensitve that it's actually easier to troll than to not troll, and I never thought I'd be saying that about any internet forum...

Is it worth it to give female players a chance to play as their own gender? OF COURSE IT IS, DUH!

From a post I made about 9 months ago:
A post in thanks to Bioware for FemShep.
  Being a fan of the Mass Effect soundtrack, I've been playing it in the car. My 6 year old enjoys it as well, and I've been telling her a bit about the story (no mean feat, by the way, telling a G rated version of ME at 6:30 in the morning before my tea).  I then looked up the intro to ME1 on YouTube to show her. The video I found showed FemShep. She was excited as she watched the ship fly past Jupiter and Neptune, and asked about the people she saw. Then the camera swung around to show Shepard's face. I watched my daughter's eyes go wide as she exclaimed, "She's the hero? She looks so tough. I want to be tough like her. She's AWSOME!"  I realized that I'd inadvertantly introduced a different concept of a hero to her via FemShep. She's tough and smart. She goes on exciting missions and stops the bad guys.  She's the one doing the saving, rather then being saved. 
  It will be years (like a decade or more) before my daughter will play the Mass Effect series. But when I see the effect that even that simple image of FemShep had, it reminded me that even just the idea of a female hero can be inspiring.
So thank you to Bioware for FemShep.

Impressive. How'd the G rated version of ME go for you?

Actually very well. I stick to showing certain cut scenes (Specter Induction, Meeting Garrus in the Council Chamber), and filling in as best I can. I talk a lot about the great team Commander Shepard has put together to stop Saren. She's currently in love with Tali. In fact, her favorite game to play in the car is where she's Commander Shepard, and we're in the Normandy off to save the galaxy. She decides how the Reapers are going to get us this morning and how she's going to stop them.

Should've made her into a companion. Manshep is the only shep.

Not to sound sexist, but I can't imagine Shep as a girl. I've tried femsheps but it just feels like a reach to appease the women who play. I don't know, Jen does a great job of voice acting, even better than Mark at times. I just don't buy it.

Again, not to sound sexist.

clearly femshep was made to appeal to the call of duty crowd. PREORDER CANCELLED!

Bioware probably feels so lucky to have such a loyal fan.

I don't think it is that expensive. femShep has mostly the same animations as manShep and the female model is already present because of NPCs. The only thing you're really paying for is Jennifer Hale and a few extra lines for romances.

I would imagine per line Jennifer Hale is cheaper than some of the bigger names like Keith David, Martin Sheen, Yvonne Strahovski etc.
