Looks like ME is getting the Hollywood treatment.


All i gots to say is...

Awesome news.

That said, as long as the movie is at least 'okay'; I'll be happy. I don't expect a classic movie just an acceptably entertaining one.

Of course, let us cue up the Codex I N T E R N E T W H I N I N G over it depsite the Codex being 33% of this movie's core audience.

R00fles!

Holy shit, Volourn actually saying something moderate about a bioware game and it's relevant criticism. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pg06RvVzzdM#t=1m19s

Dunno, I haven't posted all that much about BIO in the last month, and if I have it was probably to smack down some lame over exaggertaing shithead. *shrug*

Mass effect 2 had a better storyline than OC NWN, and a better storyline than Kotor. So what? It's probably bioware's best game since Bg2 and it's not even an rpg.


Stop the bitching and start the truth for fucks sake.

Your kidding me right? Nwn Oc has a better storyline than Me2? How is that? With the generic plague storyline and hidden coverup and plot twist you can see a mile away? At least Me2 had some interesting characters.

it was kotor 2 that really showed how good a star wars game can be(in terms of storytelling) Kotor really just laid the groundwork, and its storytelling is too barebones and uninspired to amount to anything other than that. (Canderous,Hk47 and Jolee were pretty cool though)

ME2 was fun. I don't really give a damn about the quality of the plot because it's a fucking action game and B grade science fiction.

The story was just a pretext to have you run around shooting things, just like ME1, except that it was probably less pretentious.

Yes it was which is why he had an issue with it. Geeeyacks like pretentious.

Which is really the only thing it has going for it. The plot is contrived; nearly completely separated from ME1; full of holes big enough for exactly replicated Normandy to fly through; and several other issues. Not to mention that the ending is probably the worst offender Bioware has gives us so far. At leat NWN had a semi-decent villains working against you.

It's not really a question of ME2 over NWN or the other way around - they are mostly the same shit which is why I posted that image - and arguing that ME2 has good plot because its better than NWN or KotOR is not actually a merit at all. It's like telling somehow how great athletes they are when they beat cripples in sports.

ME 2's plot was better than NWN's OC. ME 2 had a plot that lacked basic logic as did NWN's. The difference is ME 2's writing, dialog, and voice acting did a yeoman's job of distracting you. NWN's writing, dialog, and voice acting were terrible.

Hey, at least the villain leads a fucking big army to crush Neverwinter after the hero has foiled their subversion-plan. What do the Collectors/Reapers do? Rig one ambush for you and that's it.

In ME2 you spend most of the game dealing with the issues of your companions, where as in NWN you spend most of the game finding stuff about the villain and foiling her plans. Even if its bog-standard fantasy tripe where you go through the minions first and then the dragon and finally to the other realm, at least I don't have to RP a psychobabbling therapist to a bunch of freaks.
