the rpg elements and narritive could be removed leaving us with a generic shooter
or they could make it like the dreaded blue hedgehog that we're all sick of at this point

Apparently nobody came up with the simplest, yet single worst thing that could happen to a franchise: a movie directed by Michael Bay.
And while they are at it, the script should be written by Stephanie Meyer.
I have seen only a little from Mass Effect (still want to get around to play it), but as it is, the Bay treatment would be the worst.

Since linear corridor shooter is already taken, since the game was at that point in ME2, Id probably just have to say "linear corridor shooter with added emphasis on competitive multiplayer".
Failing that Id probably have to say anything that shifts it even closer to action/adventure territory by removing even more player control over "role playing". Its already pretty much at the "select the role the computer will play out for you" stage as it is.

I think people have forgotten the obvious category of 'rape simulation game'. Then again, if they were still mad at Fox for that whole scandal when ME 1 was released, that would be the most shockingly direct way to exact their revenge. And also to be sued by everyone.

Not to say that Bay is much better, but we're talking about the uncroiwned king of bad video game to film adaptions here. Man must have his due
Gameplay - all of the 3rd person shooter aspects of Mass Effect.Woodsey said:
Story - dialogue, some of the few cutscenes, choice-making, etc.
I guess you could count the story as gameplay - it's adaptive and interactive and stuff, but the core gameplay of ME is the TPS - a not very good TPS.
