Mass Effect 4: Let It Go…

WC writes:

While there aren’t a lot of games I would like to see sequels to; in fact I could probably count them all on one hand: Mass Effect is not one of them.

More games in the series will likely continue the trend of showing how inept it creative team is.

Xof4140d ago

As much as I'd love to play the optimist, I can't think of a single example where a game franchise managed to turn around from a downward spiral--especially in the case of so catastrophic a failure as ME3's.

The closest I can think of is Two Worlds 2.

Mutant-Spud4140d ago

The Far Cry, Need For Speed and Halo franchises have had their ups and downs too,

Godmars2904140d ago (Edited 4140d ago )

Those other series had more room to move around in. With Mass Effect everything is effectively connected to the Reapers who were presented as an undefeatable threat. Shepard didn't beat them directly or even indirectly; they just there to flip the switches which chose how the Reapers beat themselves.

As a trilogy entry into itself, ME started high then went low.

@TronEOL:
But it was dropped on its head, by Bioware themselves. Its a mentally crippled offspring that needs to be put out of its and our misery.

TronEOL4140d ago

I think more than killing sequels we need to get rid of this A.D.D attitude gamers are beginning to have. If the world has enough content to make more in that world, that game SHOULD do that.

Mass Effect has way too much potential to just drop it on it's head and let it die. And lots of people (not most) are just saying this because they had a big black tube shoved up their butt over the ending of Mass Effect 3, which wasn't perfect, but wasn't at all anywhere near terrible.

I, for one (and of many), am excited for Mass Effect 4, and anything that follows it. Whether it be comics, mobile spin-offs or full releases. The universe in Mass Effect is easily one of the most interesting in gaming today.

No more ME. Bioware, if you're talented you should be able to create any new engaging universe right now.

Game Rant Writes "Canonicity can be a tricky nut to crack in franchises with continuing narratives, and that's something Mass Effect 4 will need to contend with."

wow gamerant forgot mass effect 4 came out years ago number 6 and 7 were cancelled.

The new mass effect which can be called number 5 will not have any of your choices why you might ask?

Well dragon age keep were your choices from number one can been seen in number 3 got unplugged from number one and number 2 is finicky.

Dragon age on pc requires a mod to get past the server login and non of your choices get uploaded to the keep even the dlc no longer works sense it needs a server check.

On xbox i teseted this only though local saves i was able to transfer choices from one to too but 0 of one dlc would work.

So if the more popular dragon age series is in this state why would they care about your mass effect choices?

Oh and that remaster that was tossed out still has day one issues and number 3 is still hard to play on pc do to lighting issues and ram limits imposed from 2014.

My expectations for the next bioware 2.0 titles is very low.

They should redo the main trilogy

just_looken365d ago (Edited 365d ago )

They should redo the dragon age trilogy for sure on pc DA1 the ui is messed up sense it was for 4080p/720i days back in 2005. Getting to run is also very hard

The only way to play dragon age one is via xbox one backwards compatable state.

The ps3 version of dragon age one is pre throphy/ in game xmb so it has the freezing/crashing issues or just will not run.

Well i am not American so please enlighten me on usa education before your country invades mine and forces us into your society

GhostScholar365d ago (Edited 365d ago )

@ just_looken

Did I mention education? Never said America did have negative points. I know for all you “enlightened” people you think everything is either all good or all bad, but in reality that’s not how life works. We have a government that traded a known terrorist for a basketball player who moonlights as a drug dealer. We aren’t perfect by a long shot. If you want to go political though how about your leader leaving his own country when the truck driver strike happened?

porkChop365d ago

Dragon Age is not more popular than Mass Effect.

shinoff2183365d ago

Yea I read that and was like I've heard way more people talk mass effect compared to dragon age. Personally I'm more into mass effect. It's got the whole dope ass sci fi thing going on while dragon age has the same old medieval thing

gold_drake365d ago

andromeda is a spin off tjo and not considerd a numvered title. as it has to 99% nothing to do with the trilogy.

i think they need to make the destroy perfect ending canon.
we need more of shepard. haha.

Mass Effect 4 Can Explore Post-Apocalyptic Themes

Game Rant Writes "Mass Effect 4 will likely treat Mass Effect 3’s Destroy ending as canon, and this gives it an opportunity to explore a post-apocalyptic galaxy."

Destroy is the best choice. Bring the relays back over the course of a new trilogy, maybe right at the end of the first game. Say it was Cerberus, Salarians or a bunch of keepers that created a relay.
