you do realize that you're further proving my point, right? your post agrees with mine.

Yeah I guess we would already know if it was coming so I guess it's not coming

That was before EA owned them. Bioware needed some $ fast.
Tried a bit and didn't care for it. I'm not much for multiplayer and it's definitely not what I play Mass Effect for.
Effectively a reboot/separate story from the original trilogy so yeah, besides some lore and stuff, it would be a good time to jump in.

It sounds like a good jump in point, but reboot is maybe too much of a word, if you know what I mean? It's way better (of a start point) than ME3 for sure.

Can't wait to hear more and (hopefully) see actual gameplay of the new Mass Effect. This is gonna be fun.

well one of the main incentives for playing it (for me at least) was boosting your ems. and I also played as an infiltrator, I never chose that class in the campaigns so that was neat. and I liked the fact that only in multiplayer you could be a different species.
Yeah, I definitely want MP in ME4 but it shouldn't be tied to the campaign like it was in ME3.

Lol most of the times I agree with ur opinions but what other recent rpg's have better writing?

Best is a bit much, surely?
Well, i guess. If anything it was a scene that only made the ending even more confusing. That said I'd love more multiplayer but I'd rather it not influence the SP to such an extent, but I'd like some synergy I guess. If the MP maps are similar to ME3 and the excuse is that in MP we play as the N7 etc squads sent to hold locations...it could play in interesting ways.

If it's not announced at E3 then it may not be coming.

Why is it being called ME4 such a big deal to you?
Hence the " ".
If we limit ourselves to the last decade, I think it is a fair assertion.
The Witcher games effectively compete against themselves in this area.

As a person who likes to consider himself a single player purist, I'll ask you to reconsider that MP. It has much to offer that can't be found in the 40 hour campaign. It fleshes out the Mass Effect universe in indirect ways. Who would have thought that? I've spent close to 300 hours in that MP space and would do so again with no second thoughts.

People are still afraid of this being Xbox exclusive.
It's not going to happen. Demographics are far far far less favorable to MS than they were from last gen.

Well, even if it's MS exclusive the same way Jaws of Hakkon was timed exclusive, PC gets it day one anyway so it's not like it matters.
Last decade? No witcher title is better than mask of the betrayer, new vegas, alpha protocol, etc in this area.
Witcher 3's main story loses quite a lot of steam as it hits the halfway mark. The best thing about it is how the quest-writing - at least the more substantial stuff in Velen and Novigrad - weave in and out of each other, deftly accommodating change and sequence breaks.

Wouldn't be shocked if this was revealed as Mass Effect: Remnant this week.

Momentary bouts of weightlessness/low gravity is something I would like to feel in the new game. The original Mako almost captured that or did I imagine that part?

They should just cut out the middle man and set this in an alternate timeline where Shepard doesn't exist.You play as Ardshep, humanity and the galaxy's last hope and jesus figure.
It was floaty all the time, so in certain settings I suppose it matched the locale.

I cant wait for Mass Effect 7, 8, 9 were my space/time faring character from this trilogy teams up with my Commander
Shepard from the original trilogy to take on the Reaper/Remnant threat.

ah, okay. cool =]Yes. I was agreeing with you.
aside from the explanations about subtitles I gave, bioware's explanation and reasoning for not naming it Me4 is something I disagree with. but i'll still get the name. it's not like I will refrain from playing the new game just coz it won't be named what I want.
Doesn't mean it's without issues. The dialogue is far from consistent. At least when it comes to the voice actors. Have you heard Triss? She sounds like a dumb teenager that doesn't fit her character at all. For example.
Also. Many if not most of the multiple choice dialogues in TW3 have the exact same outcome as one another.
You're going to a galaxy far away, does it even matter at that point.

that's still just a rumor (or was it confirmed somewhere in this thread at one point?)
I thought the survey was legit or was I off base?
The Artisan

as far as I know it looks believable but is still unconfirmed info.

Right, because everyone will be playing Mass Effect 4 on PC...
Why not?
The Artisan
Member
is that a serious question?
It'd be on two platforms rather than one. Like street fighter, or No Man's Sky. Plus, timed exclusive isn't the end of the world. It's not the best scenario but it's not a big deal.
I also prefer Dragonfall to it.
As someone who played all 3 games on PC without any trouble, I have to ask that.

Really hoping for a Mass Effect Definitive Collection at E3.
Never played any of the ME3 DLC, and would like to without booting up the old 360.
Side note, hows the progress coming on the PC controller mod?

but you realize you're disregarding the millions of people who didn't play them on PC and the tens of millions of people who own consoles this generation?
Yeah, I know it sounds weird since I still own all 3 games but no Mass Effect trilogy for Xbox One/PS4 at E3 would be a big disappointment for me. I really miss the multiplayer.

ME2 is more than playable I think it's got a few very minor bug fixes left
ME3 is again very playable with a few small bugs and MP still needs doing
ME1 is the hardest and I think work is still kind of early but last I read he wanted a release out soon.
I'm not disregarding anything. I'm not even advocating for a PC-exclusive release. I know it's financial suicide. But I want a PC version, though.
