Title: Mass Effect Coming On Pc In May 08
Description: Xbox360 games = Games for windows

I really like that vague of "multi platform" going on in the game industry lately.It's almost like there's really no need to own a Xbox360 as a PC gamer.Xbox360 games = Games for Windows,we all need just to be patient.
The best part is that it's not going to be a simple port there are going to be bonus contents,improved graphics and maybe i say maybe an editor coming with it.(I'm so going to mod this game) :P

Damn this year is going to be a good one ^_^
- Dmc4,Alone in the dark,Turok,Assasins creed, and may be some other capcom titles(dead rising in mind) and so on....hum yummy

I think it's time to pick up a PS3 :ph43r:...

a total agree to that! And I really hope Dead Rising and especially RE5 will make its way to my HDD.

Well woopity doo... I've already played and beaten Mass Effect, already starting my second play through and they're already porting it to pc? O.o Even though I was promised downlable content months ago! v_v Damnit they need to get their priorities straight.

Anyway it's nice to see this game is popular enough to keep going pretty hard, maybe they should add some multiplayer or something into the pc version.

Yes. Thank you BIOWARE.


Sorry, but I don't have X-box 360, I don't plan on getting one, and I wanted to play this game badly. Guess I'll have a chance. :D

This game is royally worth it, I mean everything feels great about this game except for the really really big lack of any and all melle combat. I mean I would have killed for atleast a fist fight in the bar scene. ALl I can do it pistol whip and rifle butt, other than that combat is great. The story is deeply involving because just one decision can be huge and sometimes small decision tip the ballance of an entire mission, some parts in the game draw you in very deep heck there's a death in the game that might just bring you to tears... not saying I cried... men don't do that, it's not manly! :unsure:

10/10 as rated by a shmuck

It's okay.. Let your feelings out. *hugs Leon*
I know theres a tiny crying man in there, begging to be let out.
lol

Anyway, I can't believe I've never heard of this game before. Time to check it out. :)

*EDIT: Just looked at it and OMG the visuals are so... so... beautiful!! Holy crap! :woah:

LeonPlisken - February 13, 2008 05:19 AM (GMT)
Hey I admit it, I got deep enough into the story I did find the life or death of a friend scene to be a teer jerker. I mean he/she doesn't just go down, but they go down fighting, they live up to being a soldier. I saluted my TV. lol

I'm not spoiling anything though because that part of the game can pan out like 4 or 5 different ways. O.o

I told a long time ago that all Capcom current gen titles after RE4 scandal and actually success are going to be cross platform including PC.
By current gen i mean that games that was called next-gen in 2005, but since 2006 its current gen.
The only Capcom titles not going to be cross platform are old gen wii titles (like ubrela chronicles) and all our day re-releases of old games.

Mass effect was originaly developed for both PC and XBOX under Microsoft control and semiproduction, but Bioware-Pandemic merged with EA before XBOX release so that the reason for huge delay betwin 360 and PC versions, and reason why many stuff been cut out for future addons and siquells and DLC.
Only one good thing from EA that all their titles available for maximum numbers of platforms even for Toasters and Calculators.
But devs who once have sold their souls to EA never will be free and alive, they all now dead zombie slaves... its allways like that:

1) EA gives money for tallented developer who already developing Perspective game - EA become producer and publisher for third party game. Sound something like "Get the money as a present, but remember that in one day, that may never happen, we can ask you for a favour u cant refuse.... capiche?" ))
(examples of devs on this stage: Westwood, Maxis, Crytek, Digital Illusions CE, Lionhead studios, Irrational Games\ Looking Glass Studios, Pandemic- Bioware, IO interactive)
(examples of games: CnC, Crysis, SimCity, Sims, Battlefield 1942, System Shock 2, Black n White, Need for Speed 1-3, Mercenaries 1, Freedom fighters)

2) EA trying to give more money and get themselves rights for Title or at least agreement which means "even if dev have owner rights for title, EA should be exclusive publisher for that title and all future sequels" wich actualy mean that developer cannot go to another publisher to do next part of title.
(All the same devs)
(All the same games except possibly Black n White... Lionhead did the right choice and quit EA before its too late)

3) After they have rights for title they giving offer that no one Dev cant refuse (EA CEO just like bad Godfather lol) offer to create the sequel or new tittle for EA.
(Taken Titles and continued: CnC series, System Shock, Sims, SimCity, Battlefield, Need for Speed, Medal of Honor)
(possibly taken tittles: Crysis, Black and white, Freedom fighters not continued yet.

4) On this stage during development of this title EA always trying to get the souls of Devs and buy whole studio and merge with it.
(all except irrational, lionhead, IO interactive and Crytek (not yet but i have bad feeling about them) other have sold their souls and tittles, but 2 of these have no rights for their titles)

5) Close to the end of development devs already part of EA, already their slaves.
(Westwood, Digital illusions, Maxis, Bioware-Pandemic)

6) after that previosly loved company forced to make same and same game every year-two, no new titles no new experiments, just addons and sequels.... by the way every EA`s game that have addons cut on portions before release, if u dont know then now is time to know that EA originally pioneer of selling and producing episodic games that never was 100% full games, they did it much more earlier then Ritual decided to do Sin episodes) also that company forced to do versions of same game for all platforms (tosters and calculators included)
(Games forced to be sequel by EA but still developed by original devs: Sims 1 addons and Sims 2,, Crysis 2 and Crysis ports for PS3 and 360, Black n White 2, Mercenaries 2, BF addons and BF 2 with all ports)

7) after 2-5 successful releases next step of EA is reorganise that developer company wich takes next steps:
1) rename Original developer to "EA blah blah" (usually blah blah is city where they r or name of main title)
2) Fire half of developers (most of them valuable), move some devs to another subdivisions, on that stage many other devs leaving the company with friends.... by the way if title rirghts owned by that dev company that mean that after merging title rights transferred to EA)
3) hire new unexperienced slaves who will fork 16 hours per day without extra cash.
4) Force them to do new Sequel without any soul, without any new experience...
(R.I.P : Westwood, some other devisions i forgot. Renamed almost dispatched but still with original devs: ex Maxis now EA SIMS division, others i forgot)

8) After not a big success of new sequel without soul and new experience that made by new peoples without any old devs they usualy closing that dev studio and killing last remains of old great developer`s name, Tittle become frozen for few years.
(Examples of such sequels: CnC 3, Tiberium, System shock 3, Need for Speed 4 - Pro street except NFS porshe by Eden games, Medal of honor)

9) Few years after EA re-establishing title to get some money, but this title never will legend again, and will be just shitty copy that will do the just by name of legendary game, while game itself just grey dummy soulless remake\remix\recreation\copy.

(examples: CnC 3, Tiberium (formerly CnC renegade), System Shock 3)
10) meanwhile few separated groups of devs who earlier was working together establishing new game dev studios and starting to work on some new title wich usualy have some soul of their old titles, this may never will be legend even again or may become one of the greatest games anyway in both caces peoples will love it so much. Some of these devs wasnt merged with EA but lost title anyway.
(Examples: Irrational with Bioshock, Petroglyph (ex Westwood) with Star Wars Empire at war, Eden studios with Test Drive Unlimited and new Alone in the dark)

Thats why EA is pure evil. They EAting everything like locust, and nothing remains behind EA (except of shit). EA is corporate monster that rip souls bring only bad thing to devs and whole GAME\DIGITAL ENTERTAINMENT INDUSTRY.

by the way:

On January 9, 2006, Electronic Arts renewed its trademark protection on the System Shock after success of Bioshock they decide to do some money on settings so System Shock 3 my be already under development.
PC Gamer UK mentioned that EA assigned the team behind The Godfather game in charge of developing System Shock 3. A few days earlier, PC Gamer had printed an article where Irrational Games co-founder, Ken Levine, expressed great disappointment at EA over the development of System Shock 3:
"EA just didn't give a shit about that game...I think if EA were to do it, it would've been just a regular first-person shooter with a boss monster at the end."
Some game journalists have expressed angst over the rumor,[9] considering the The Godfather has received mixed reviews from critics.
By the way Development of System Shock 3 as i think one more big reason why EA want 2 TAKE TAKE 2 (Lol) so much.... in addition to take hands on GTA 4 and GTA titles with rockstar games and all their titles (midnight club is rival of NFS and Max Payne is under the wing of rockstar) + 3d realsm and DNF with PREY. in addition looks like EA wanna destroy 2k sports that is only rival (and more successful) to EA sports.
But thanks god T2 CEO have some balls in pants anc can refuse Devils offers)
But unfortunatly Bioware-pandemic and all their titles destiny is known now and it isnt good, not for them not for us.

If u r true patriot of Gaming, Do the favour to whole world of gaming, kill EA CEO and all who can replace him!!!
The guy who will bring the death to the evil EA CEO and his minions will be true hero - a legendary soldier who will never be forgotten by gamers and developers of future! We really need to kill that damn philosopher and finish them all, then take their legacy so we can become patriots who will create a new gaming world order, who will create new history)))


John Riccitiello - must die!!! EA should fall !!! UBi soft, Activision-Blizzard (Activisio+vivendi-universal+blizzard), Take 2, Eidos and Konami should grow and take the throne!! Capcom to the dark corner to let them think about some soul and ideas and their games (also let them think about their ignorance to gamers opinions)!!! Kojima must be emperor of Japan!!! GTA 4, MGS 3 and 4 should be for PC !!! Unreal warfare 3 engine to the trash bin!! Id tech 5 engine to every game!!! Games for fun and art not for money!!
Thats my Gaming paradise, Outer Haven of Game industry, games for developers and gamers, not for CEO and producers!!!)))
