i hope to god there is at least one gamer out there that understands where im coming from; because frankly this is going to be a massive leap of judgement and sound insanely paranoid, but i just have to say this:

this is paramount to releasing a mass effect racing game. no, its more like someone took my personal vision of hell and to add to the misery turned it into a racing game just to utterly bewilder me in addition to causing unending torment.

i thought my expectations for ME3 were as low as they could be, but before they completely killed the RPG side in favor of a GoW clone with talking, they go and announce... this, ruining ME3 before its even announced.

bioware lost the benefit of the doubt after ME2; i have absolutely no hope that this will do anything less than suck and devalue what little greatness the ME franchise has left. i dont need anymore information; i dont even care if this is a joke; the fact that this could even be joked about is equally as appalling to me.

i think back to baldurs gate, and look at where bioware is now with this announcement....

congratulations Bioware, you are now the michael jackson of video games; where once you were great, you have now gotten so bewildering and into such questionable behaviour that youve managed to completely alienate your original fans. from king of pop to childish weirdo, you have similarly gone from premier RPG developer to making a multiplayer FPS nobody wanted.

i really REALLY hope this isnt true; in fact, i hope it is in actuality a mass effect racing game. anything, ANYTHING at all would be better than an online shooter from bioware...

im going to stop now, though there is a thousand other problems i have with this. you might say im overreacting, but understand that i now have to turn to japan if i ever want a real RPG now. my last bastion of quality gaming has been reduced to dime-a-dozen JRPGS. this is depressing beyond imagination.

im going to go replay baldurs gate now; remind me of the era of gaming that didnt disappoint me at every single turn.

A CoD-like Mass Effect game, with online shooter components?
This... could be interesting. And successful.
If they do it right.
Plus, first contact war... Turians... Humans... sci-fi...
*Possibly drools a little*
I dont see why everyone thinks that be so awesome.

Mass Effect is a game about badass Commanders flying and doing cool stuff and saving the galaxy.

Nothing really 'big' happens in its backstory, other than the First Contact War, which if you actually look at it lasted for a short time and was mainly a couple quick decisive battles.
I really personally think a full game would not do well in this setting.

What I mean by it being 'not awesome' is the setting would prevent it to be so, but the game itself? Online focused, Call of Duty style? Done right it would be at the very best brilliant, at the very least interesting.

Anyways, I know this may sound harsh but I just think that there is no potential in ME's mentioned so far backstory for an entire game, I think that the alien races themselves need to be expanded rather than briefly mentioned events.
