Who could have thought that WOW could bring super power like USA to its knees?

Sweet... took me till ME2 to get into the franchise but ME3 is a must buy.
Hope it takes longer to complete than ME2.
Shame its 12 months away =(
I love this .I absolutely love Mass Effect and have a huge crush on Garrus.
Playing: Rift, LotRO
Waiting on: GW2, BP
Still have one year to finish ME2 and make sure no one dies in the last quest!

This reminds me.. I have yet to play the 2nd one. Dont really have time atm.
Aww
well forgive my mediocre taste I go bury myself in these games and have fun all the same. I just love it when people think they have superior taste and try to make you feel ashamed of your plebeian ones.
So what are your top 3 games Thrilian?
You should take the time to play through it; the game is just amazing.
You forgot Deus Ex.
I didnt like ME very much , thought it as way to generic and bland. Havent played the second though but heard it should be better.
I can see where Thillian is coming from (even though it pains me to say it), compared to old RPGs likeBaldurs gate and Planescape Torment theese new RPGs just fall short in every way.
I will never understand why Bioware choose to create the most generic fantasy setting/story ever made (Dragon age) when they got the chance to create something without an existing IP.
If WoW = The Beatles
and WAR = Led Zeppelin
Then LotrO = Pink Floyd
It's the outcome of simplification over the years in almost everything around us. Now it gotten to a stage, when the Mass Effect 2 can be literally played by a trained monkey.
REALITY CHECK
I personally didn't find Dragon Age to be generic at all but I think the big pull for me is that they created a solid game with a good story and tactical combat that is beyond button mashing and included a world most darker than most you can find. It's also one of the few recent games that I found myself actually debating some of the decisions in the game. If this means I'm one of the monkeys Thillian mentioned, so be it.
I lost my breath.
Well, they did that, with Jade Empire, very interesting and unique fantasy setting, no generic magic, classes and monsters and a pretty good, immersive game. Ironically enough, this game of theirs with the most unique fantasy setting and story was the least appreciated and popular of their titles. So, it wasn't as if they haven't already walked that path.
I'd say that MMO's like ME and ME2 are more action RPG's than classic RPG's.
Anyway, thanks for the trailer headsup, Paradoxy
The ACTUAL size of MMORPG worlds: a comparison list between MMO's
The ease with which predictions are made on these forums:
Fratman: "I'm saying Spring 2012 at the earliest [for TOR release]. Anyone still clinging to 2011 is deluding themself at this point."
lol, and there you have summed up the essence of these forums.
Not really, I think he's spot on.
Bioware makes really flashy, "cinematic" driven games these days that feel more like playing an interactive movie than they feel like playing an RPG. As another poster said, they're RPGlite.
Yeah Bioware games are like being in a big budget hollywood movie and it works great that way; Its has amazing story, believable characters, nice visuals and atmosphere. Nothing wrong with that. I am sorry but times have changed and only people who need REALITY CHECK is those who refuse to move on with times.
Insulting and generalising won't help in getting approval of players though.

Get back on topic please. Leave personal arguements out of the discussion.
Holiday 2011, bah i was hoping for an earlier release. Anyhow i cannot wait.
Nice little vid, info was out on it for about a week now tho
.
one dislike about the vid, earth is attacked by them now, by several yet 2 million death on the frist day? they should have gone for 2 billion and sevean billion a day later hehe. the most adv and ancient enemy in the mass effect univerce attacks up and we get the treadment of slow death ..meh
Remember that the Reapers like to 'indoctrinate' sentients...
They were also kidnapping millions in ME2, so they might have done so again on a larger scale...
Feel free to use my referral link for SW:TOR if you want to test out the game. You'll get some special unlocks!
I'm sorry but Jade Empires setting is hardly original. Instead of making a generic western fantasy world (which they did though with Dragon Age), they made a generic wuxia/Chinese myth world.
Those death counts were in London/UK alone! The total number probably is in the billions.
So Excited for ME3 and Dragon Age 2... AHHH!!!!
Remember Old School Ultima Online
I knew that little teaser they gave had something to do with Mass Effect, especially after seeing the rifle the guy had. (Squeals with excitement)
