Jeez, Darkcless..... paragraphs!

[Darkcless]

true I could have been more subtle and probably spaced a little, but what do you expect. ME 4 isn't even far enough into developement, it may be a fools ambition, but whose to say my opinion, however long winded isn't the same ambition for another gamer. If I get it all out there at once at leat it is out there and maybe a random admin will see it or maybe enough people would agree my idea for these types of changes or improvemens are just what Mass Effect needs to make its comeback. Hopefully my opion isn't the only one for bringing mass effect to it's former glory

[blueumi]

no
reason mass effect 3s ending

So what do you guys think about Mass Effect 4 (I'm calling it ME 4 for now)? Yay/nay?

Nay. The endings. MP support severed.

[HiddenInWar]

Probably.

I am open to any expansion upon the ME universe, but I would be hesitant in regards to a prequel.

[DirtyPhoenix]

Nope. Henceforth I'll not buy anything with an EA label on it. And its got nothing to do with ME3 or its endings. EA is a ****ty company that turns good games to mediocre ones. It happened to ME, it happened to Dead Space, it happened to Medal of Honor, and it seems to be happening to BF. So no, they ain't getting another rupee from me.

Probably. I've enjoyed every Bioware product I've purchased.

[zeypher]

its going to be a wait and see approach for me. If it is a good game i will buy it.

Sort of new to the forum but I honestly hoped to find the post in whch to pitch ideas for Mass effect 4 but this one isn't a bad place to start. Although it is early to pose the question, the developers normallycheck frums for fan base ideas to incorporate in the hopes to apeal to the masses in subjects just like this. I have playe just abou every biowaregame I could get my hands on and mass effect was one of the first ajor franchises that gaveme a reason to sit down and naturally enjoy a game where my consquences truely effected my game and the way I felt hen playing it. The old Kotor (aka. Kights of the old republic) wereso of the first to really give me that odd and satisfying story telling, not because of the main character's growth but rather the character growth created between members of your party. At times your chatsbetween characters often helpeddarken their resolve and their perception of you not just by your actions but also by the small tie-in when you could control other characters for short periods i the story.Mass effect 1 had a little of his involving Gauras and Wrex, butnever really let you control any othr characters till mass effect 2 with Joker. Ultimately if we had a little more interaction and control over the changing and developement in the characters whom with fight aside, the game dynamic for the next one would be a game changer f say a team member suddnly switced his alliance from you due to a choice you made or rather not agreeing with your phiosphy of current events, and suddenly becomes your enemy. And notjust because of key plotpoints, but because he has become fed up with you and imagine having to continue your quest without their skill even if that skill isrequired for certain side missions or hiddien parts of the game. Another Thing I really enjoyed was te exploration of Mass effect 1. It gave me areasongto go back ad play itover and over again because there was so much that could be missed and so many side missions that could be done. Sure the Mako was a clunky driving mechanic but exploring the worlds ave me more expansion to the game then I could get out of an DLC. If there is one main thing I ask out of Mass Effect 4 is please bring back that kind of expansive world and god please no more probes, I don't care if you leave the gas thing for relism just ditch the mining its incredibly boring. Another mjor change is maybe keeping the current combat system as is but make it geared a little more towards how it plays in Mass Effect 3's multiplayer... and what I mean by tat brings me to my number one request for mass effect 4... MAKE IT A SEQUEL. Seriously there really i very little need to back track into the past when you set the building blocks for the future. All the games cooperate and spreada gorgeous story and slew of events by transfering all decision making in mass effect 1,2 and 3. And with said sequel and the absence of our main shepard, allow the players to be able to choose the race in which the next galaxies champion an unfold there story,.. And this can be possible as it was attempted and successfu in games lie Dragon Age Origins, so please allow yourselves time and a chance to really givea story of choice the ultimate role in choice. The last decisons made in Mass effect three can unfold what transpires to the world of say the Krogan, If the geno****e is cured; krogan character is on the brink of a civil war between clans and the rival clan seeks to stay in peace with an over populated planet while the other clan demand the race seeks out new planets to conquer to avoid their resources diminishing giving you an immediate chage of pace for the political and moral choices aboud from decision 1 in Mass effect 4... or if the genophage was not cured; Krogan race has become a dyng breed of mercenaries, as said krogan the world has become you battlezone, no mater the planet your on like decision 2... Or ven if everyo was synthesized, krogans no longer fear obliteraton as they have adapted to comunicating as one unit. But you seem to feel odd about always being connected to everyone, and feel it s unnatural and manage to break free from your programming, labeling you as rouge and dangerous you seek out others who share your cause to release and free your race and other races from the shackles of synthetics, reversing what once savedthe galaxy in your own moral holy war. Ulitmately if I was giving a game with these kids of qualities I would buy it and give it more replay value then any other game on my shelf. The replay value couldn't be higher with the grasp a game like that, especially if it could take it from it's predeccesors. The DLC Overlord was probably my first hope that the previous ME2 and ME3 would have incorperated this but alas it wasn't so. And I honestly hope that they look t make more DLC that was as amazing as Overlord as it was not only a amazing side story but a greatlypaced one at that. As much as Shadow broker gave me Lara, I still think Overlord over shadowed it but amazing storytelling and exploration. Lastly if MassEffect 4 is to be a true successor, please DO NOT GIVE IT MULTPLAYER. Honestly I get it if EA believes it is a money makig cash cow and hell, it may be, but make it a DLC or a stand alone. To be honest I loved Mass Effect 3... The story was amazingly well pacedand it had some awesome and amazing fights against the reapers... but I can't elp but feel that the end result was rushed and really I believe that multiplayer played the biggest part to that. The game was geat till the end... where the storytook such a drstic turn that it felt soforced that it honestly felt, well fake and to me the biggest let down to one of the greatst games I had ever played. YesI know the extended cut was made to aleviate the mases but evenwith it, I felt very little closer to this master peice that felt like it could have been far more epic. A final fight against soverign became a choice of afor in the road that ultimately ended the series, but even if shepard a to die, I would much rather see him firing his cannon dow thethroat of soverign in a blaze of glory ad with te arefforts being hih enough, maybe the races succeded, but at a cost of great loss, laying way to a future of rebuiding and post apocolyptic galaxies have arisen from the carnage. Instead we only got a radio tansmission, no change no matter how hard we got our war efforts. I undestan it isn't the developer's fault and EA may have pushed multiplayer more to help the sales which cut back on the production o the ending, could be possible and absolutely forgivable... but for a sequel as big as this to a trilogy as massive as this, woud it not be wiser to focus on the core gaming experience first and make ME 4 a single player first, that after the success of te first two weeks, start production on multilayer DLC, then micro transactions and the main DLC. If you lyer up your marketing you wil see not only your increase in sales but the fandom and then that very fandom as it grows so does the money rolling in because you took the time to deliver what core gamers wanted and allowed multiplayer gamers to get a feel for the game and dive into multiplayer with the hope of new content which micro transactions ca follow, and deliver DLC to expand your core game afterwards so that both fandoms can be happier and more willing to lay down more money, instead of bombarding the with day one dlc and mulitplayer that is somehow relevant to he war efforts, but the war effforts do little to change theout come of the story, ultimately upsetting the core fandom and leading them astray while multiplayer fandom focus on just mulitplayer and doesn't bothe rwith core based dlc. Again this is just a fellow core player speaking but wold it not be better to give your gamers that choice, especially when it is a game about coice? Ultimately I see no reason that it would hurt to allow the core game to remain single player and then just add multiplayer to the mix after, everyone wouldstill get it, and everyone woud still buy the dlc for it, and core gamers may also feel up to going multiplayer after feeling a success in their core experience, they may look to multiplayer to kill more time and thus buy the dlc for it. All I ask is don't make it the focus of ME4, take your time with till the polish relect show amazing your game is compared to all the other games out there. I honestly don'tmind the wait because he game itself will be worth every penny I give it. These are just my ideas and there are many of them out there for Mass Effect 4, I could name so many great ways to change the focus and the story, maybe even the way it can branch out to possble sequels. All I ask is for bioware is to look and see that fans want their games and our ideas are theirs to use, We just want a game that reflects them and the quality the bioware has been known to cretae far before the mass effect franchise.  Hopefully a developer sees ths and who knows, maybe incoporates it, because if an game industry hope to thrive, it will be the fans that carry them to the race, but it's their devotion to them that finishes it.

They are called Paragraphs. Pa-ra-graphs.

[Wowky]

Asbolutely. Because I know it will have great characters, a compelling story and will bring all the feels. Just like every other ME game has done.

[Peranor]

It is too soon to say. I know nothing of the game yet. It could turn out the be a mediocre MMOFPS filled with ludicrous microtransactions for all I know.

[shit's fucked cunts]

I'll probably pre-order it the second it becomes available. Reason: Mass Effect.

They've got me by the scrote.

Most probably, yes. Reason: multiplayer.

[Xamufam]

likely no, Bioware has damaged itself with the mass effect trilogy & dragon age 2.
Their writing credibility is not there anymore, they have shoot themselves in the foot too many times

[_- Songlian -]

It depends what I'll hear about it when the time comes. If it looks promising, I'll definitely buy it.

[Nightdragon8]

The only way I think they will win over alot of hearts and minds is I think they will have to do alot of campaining in places like E3, and the 'cons' is if they do demos and its really good.

cause in all honesty I can't see them putting out another serious ME game anytime soon. I mean seriously if anything they need to maybe make a few silly or simple games in the ME universe before touching a market that seems to be still "Hot" from ME3 stuff.

Thanks bud!

and I wanna see in a few years, all the nay-sayers....;)

[Galifreya]

Only if it's post ME3. I have zero interest in anything else. And only if they are given ample time to complete it.

[Rhayak]

I'll wait until i get word if the ending sucks or not, trying to avoid spoilers. Then if the metascore is good i'll most likely buy it.

[HeadStrikeRxx]

I will buy it, if it's good.

Hope people will read it.

And your welcome.:happy:

[mr.brightside4u]

I'll definitely buy it.... I still consider Mass Effect to be the best series I ever played and even though the characters aren't gonna be there anymore, the universe itself makes me want to get. Also, I think Bioware is capable of writing new charcters that I will love just like it did the old ones....

[Village_Idiot]

I'll need more info first. Whilst I think the MEU is great, I also think Shepard is intrinsic to the franchise. It'll be a tough act for protagonist X to follow.
