Personally I preferred the events that happened in Mass Effect 1 as well: more interesting things happened.

That said, in a trilogy like this, I view the whole thing as one continued story. I dont think of it as say, Fellowship of the Ring being better than Two Towers, simply because theyre all part of the same story. I do think Fellowship had more interesting events in it, but it wasnt as if Two Towers was somehow worse or something: eventually the Fellowship events had to stop and something else had to start.

Mass Effect 2 is almost based around a sidequest: finding team members and then eliminating at best a minor threat, the Collectors. Unlike Saren and Sovereign, the collectors never had threatened the galactic community as a whole. They were just hinting at the bigger threat to come.

Obviously Mass Effect 3 will have more story progression than 2 did. But all the same, Bioware did a phenomenal job in making one of the best singleplayer games ever around what is essentially just sidequests in ME2.

Well deserved! Mass Effect 2 was incredible in all respects.

Mass Effect 1 was better in a few ways, like the various ammunition customization (missed that a bit in the sequel) and also being able to equip and customize ally armor and weapons a lot more.

That said, Bioware always takes feedback into account, and they said Mass Effect 3 will combine the sweet combat of ME2 with the deeper customization and min.maxing of ME1.

Cannot wait for ME3, I anticipate it more than any other game. Though Elder Scrolls 5, Battlefield 3 and possibly Diablo III and Heart of the Swarm will also be amazing this fall.

You are correct in that his English is horrible.

At the same time, you said "your english"....you're an idiot. The correct word is you're, not your.

Take your own advice and learn the language so you stop messing up homonyms and reveal your own ignorance to everyone.

Fable II was the best of the series. III was garbage. So disappointed in it, the combat is COMPLETELY mindless: mash melee button, magic button, or ranged button, that's literally all you do. None of the skills that actually gave the combat depth in Fable II.

Really, the entire game is running down a hallway (with a big golden line on the ground so you don't get lost) and then mashing whichever combat button you like the most. That's it. I thought co-op would save it, but that's not fun with any number of people.

They killed their game in the name of "accessibility." Look at other games like Zelda, Oblivion, anything with depth that requires a bit of brain activity: do those turn people away? No. But a game like Fable III where all you need to do is mash one button over and over certainly will.

Plus the story was utterly irredeemable. "Oh no, evil black stuff, hit it with your sword until the credits roll." Talk about wasted potential.

Somebody talking about "dumbing down" who can't even spell "Accomodate" properly, talk about irony.

I'm sure the soundtrack will be incredible...but what about Jack Wall?

He made absolutely phenomenal tracks for ME1 and ME2. I sure hope he's involved in the music on the sequel.

No fad lasts forever.

Except Pokemon, apparently.

@PointlessPuppies

More like why is ANYONE excited for a Diablo clone without co-op....that's like a singleplayer World of Warcraft.

I'm waiting for the real deal with Diablo III myself. Top quality Battle.net 2.0 support, 8 player co-op, skype voice chat, it's gonna be great.

No co-op in a Diablo clone?

Lolz.

So you pay all the flight expenses, all the hotel expenses, and you get....entrance into some duke nukem related party?

I can assure you that the best parties in Vegas are probably not videogame related. Once you are in Vegas, finding good parties should not be that hard.
