I think Mass Effect 2 will be excellent. Not the god of all video games everyone is making it out to be but I still think it will be excellent.

I am also looking forward to Heavy Rain as well. Heavy Rain is the only reason I bought a PS3.

Well you are allowed to your own ideas and I agree a bit. Hype can kill a game. If you make the hype to big then the game will never be able to match. Look at MW2 for example. Good game, but it definitly did not live up to what they were building us up for.

I completely agree. If there's a game I'm excited for, I honestly try not to get overhyped and look at all the previews, etc. I've been disappointed before.

For example, I barely looked at anything for Assassin's Creed 2 beyond a few screenshots. While everyone else was watching Modern Warfare 2 videos over and over again, I watched exactly two: the teaser and the brief gameplay video of CtF.

In other news. Mass Effect 2 is already out!!!
What? Where?

I believe this is referring to the torrents of the game that can now be found in various places on the internet. Which means I already have to be cautious of spoilers. I don;t want to let people ruin this game's plot for me like they did with Dragon Age: Origins.

Forgot about mass effect 2 coming out, FUCK YEAH. Can't wait till 29th!!!!

I would leave it at that, but can't you just respect that people want the game and are naturally going to talk about it. Or would you suggest we not talk of things which might be looking forward to and instead spend our time talking of what?

Gamers talking about the next big game coming out, was this not expected?
I now say HA! In your face because since I am American, I get it the 26th!! yay me!! and yay me being a complete douche!!

OT: uhhhhhh, what Demon said.

The only person who could get me to truly STFU about Mass Effect 2 would be Garrus and thats only because I truly respect him, and even then I dont know if I would. Mass Effect 2 is gonna be awesome much like how Garrus is fucking awesome, this thread however......not so awesome.

eh. didn't like the first one. i want my force to look pro damn it, not like some space gangbangers. give me non-pink/yellow armor with some guns. they always have a scarce supply of weaponry in their games.
What are you even talking about? Yes, pink/yellow/red/blue amour exist in the game but you don't have to use it. As for guns...What are you smoking? There are so many guns and customizations for said guns in ME that it was one of the complaints!


EDIT: LOL! as of the post below me, I now look like a sockpuppet! I assure you it isn't true.

I guess well written dialogue, interesting story, and deep characterization aren't for everyone. And hating a game based on how armour looks makes total sense.

To be honest, I don't give a flying crap on a stick about Mass Effect 2 and I just ignore those little words when they pop up. I'm too busy waiting on Mount&Blade Warband and whatever EA's got brewing for my little Sims 3 neighborhood.

Haven't seen much hype for it either.

The first was average, in my opinion, very over rated.

However, reading up on what they fixed in this new one, I'll buy it and give it a spin, if anything to get a new story from it.

WHOOPS, forgot this was Bioware. Original stories? Bah, they've been recyvling the same story ever since KoTOR.

1. Character comes into contact with artifact
2. Character sees dreams of where to go on their quest
3. Character joins small/elite/rare order
4. Character has good/bad choices to make
5. Character fights a bad guy that glows

COPYPASTA FOREVER

Why would i we shut up about mass effect 2, the first one is my 2nd favorite game (right behind borderlands) and judging by what they've been saying about ME2, it seems like its going to be even better

While everyone is shutting up about ME2 may I also add that people shut up about MW2 and Avatar (the blue aliens) threads as well. You know..because that's enough talking about it.
