Haha, I feel the same for the most part. I enjoy still enjoy Halo multiplayer a lot, Gears to a degree, and now Mass Effect. The rest I couldn't really care about. I do play an occasional round of Battlefield 1942 but just to run around in cars and planes messing with people. Halo is the only one I am good at.

What the hell! Like the ripping his guts out wouldn't kill him so he throws the guy and busts his skull! Awesome haha.

Halo 4, Forze Horizon, and Fable: The Journey? That is all they have for us? What happened? Originally it felt like 360 had all the exclusives and momentum. Now they have next to nothing. I'm not a big racer guy and don't have Kinect so all I get this year is Halo 4?

Maybe launching a new console is what they need though. Maybe that will force them to bring some new IPs to the table. God knows we aren't seeing them now.

Every time I hear Ice T talk I dislike him more. What is he playing Mass Effect for? Sure the combat is good but I could point him too quite a few games that are better 3rd Person Shooters if all he wants to do is shoot stuff.

Again, if it is free at least we won't have to pay for it! I don't see it being 60 hours total but none of them have been for me. After two playthroughs on 1 and 2 it ended up around 45-50 hours. That wasn't with doing all side quest though. ME3 took me 35 hours with all side quests minus the DLC character. That was a…

I don't think that the choices need to be huge like in ME 1-3, just that you should be able to decide what your character says without messing up canon.

Saw that too! All of this is just too suspicious. I would honestly bet my life that it is indoctrination.

I don't think that is how it will happen. If you have been keeping up with the Bioware people on Twitter you will see them saying things like we are overreacting without knowing all the facts or that we need to keep our copies of Mass Effect 3 forever. The rumor is that they are going to release a free update called…

Absolutely agree with everything you said. Never have I played a game so emotionally draining as Mass Effect 3. I really did feel just as beaten and bruised as Shepard. I also started doing Renegade things at the end even though I have never chosen to do them before that point.

I'd be all over something like this. I don't care what genre it is. Mass Effect is wide ranging and could take on any form as long as it offers player choice and a deep story in the Mass Effect universe with great characters. Those are the only real requirements for Mass Effect in my opinion.

Yeah it is much different in Japan. It almost feels like they wouldn't try it because it would embarrass them or make them feel weak. There are some I can see doing it though. I could see Goichi Suda, Yu Suzuki, Keiji Inafune, and Hideo Kojima doing it. They all seem very open about the Japanese gaming industry and…

Agreed. There has been a lot of big happenings in the video game industry this year already. I am happy to be a part of it at a time like this! Hopefully it will become less of an exception in the future. I don't really want it to be the rule, but I would love to see more older developers or smaller developers do this.

I'm fairly certain the theory is true at this point. After looking at all of the evidence I can't say that it isn't at least likely. Also, taken from the codex, those suffering from indoctrination have bad headaches. Shepard started having bad headaches once the Illusive Man walked into the room with him and Anderson.…

You obviously haven't checked out the theory mentioned at the end. Check it out, Bioware might have done something that no other game company has. Indoctrination of the player.

It sounds like your paragon just wasn't high enough. Also maybe not enough points? I had 4300 at the end.

Fantastic piece. These are the kinds of things I absolutely love about the gaming community.

I feel the same way about Mass Effect. I'm just staying off the internet after my last class today and hopefully I can finish it tomorrow. I am about 27 hours into the game.

Right?! Nier looks super awesome on the box art! He is super buff with awesome hair. None of that really translated into the game lol.

Geez Nier looked horrible! Like someone look rubber over a skull, had some extra left on the ends, and squeezed that in for some wrinkles. I hate looking at him. Also he had a caveman brow.
