Any idiot can come up with 'sources' and have a 50:50 chance of getting it right. What's the point? Getting a cookie? Getting Darque's admiration?

 

'No, I'm right!'

'No, I'M right!'

 

So now I'm an idiot for talking about a source? Cool...

Do we have release date for this?

 

Looks promising.

Just because you're a bit thinner than your even fatter mum it doesn't mean you're in excellent physical shape, if you could fit through the door and view the normal people you'd notice that cheeseburger boy. Squid suck.

He could just as well have been referring to me.

 

Llyranor and I have one of those "let's insult each other as much as we can" type relationships.

 

I think it's because his dirty Commie Army is in the process of being squashed by my elite German Panzer divisions.

He does it out of love alan. :(

I know :(

The video is quite impressive, particularly the digital actors and the technology, although I'm a bit disappointed about the fact Bio doesn't take advantage of fleshing out their own IP, instead they just make another Star Wars clone. One "Meh" for Bioware.

So, if it's set in space, it's a Star Wars clone?

One billion b-balls dribbling simultaneously throughout the galaxy. One trillion b-balls being slam dunked through a hoop throughout the galaxy. I can feel every single b-ball that has ever existed at my fingertips. I can feel their collective knowledge channeling through my viens. Every jumpshot, every rebound and three-pointer, every layup, dunk, and free throw. I am there.

Mass Effect looks like it has more in common with Fifth Element than Star Wars. ;)

It's style is clearly Star Wars. I thought Bio with it's huge reputation and ressources would come up with something more original, and mature.

Ok, so what exactly about it's style is "clearly Star Wars"? And what makes it not as mature?

If they put the red-haired chick into it, perhaps, but that silly barkeeper reminded me too much of Star Wars.

Sorry Bio, more originality next time, please.

The barkeep was one alien. If a game has an alien barkeep its Star Wars like?!?!?

 

Hell, the barkeep in Star Wars, at least in A New Hope, was human.

Ok, so what exactly about it's style is "clearly Star Wars"?  And what makes it not as mature?

Star Wars is about immature mythology (or in ME: "...the machines are coming!!!") and putting teddy bears or blue-skinned clowns into the universe and think that would make sense.

Ok, I didn't see immature mythology, or teddy bears and clowns in that trailer. You still didn't tell me what made the game "clearly Star Wars"

I see there're alot of Star Wars kids here trying to force me to take back my statement here, but I won't.

ME is from what I've seen so far clearly Babylon5/Star Wars inspired, and that's somewhat lame. Not bad, but I expected more.

Babylon 5 is not lame. Star Wars is lame, but not Babylon 5. Grrr...

I'm not asking you to take it back, but to back it up with something. You're just avoiding the question now.

Babylon 5 is not lame.  Star Wars is lame, but not Babylon 5.  Grrr...

I haven't said that. You better read first what I say.... Babylon 5, while not completely lame, is still lame compared to Space: Above & Beyond! Yeah, that was an awesome Sci-Fi series. :p

Why should I back up my opinion? I know where my taste lies, so I don't need to defend it. And again, you haven't asked any kind of question yet. What is it you want to hear from uncle Morgoth?

Sorry Bio, more originality next time, please.

You didn't present it as opinion, you tried to pass it off as fact. Now, you said I never asked "any kind of question".

There are two questions there.

You even quoted them, and answered one of them. I am still looking for the answer to the first question in the series of two questions.

More I look into it it seems closer to Star Trek than Star Wars. Or maybe Andromeda. I know! EARTH: FINAL CONFLICT!

Setting and story should go hand in hand. The Star Wars Universe is all about shoe-horning some strange looking, often English-speaking aliens into the Universe just to replace some stereotypes we even see on this earth. Or short: The Star Wars universe is a mess.

ME seems to go a similar path: Space hamsters, reptilian warriors put into condom-armour and woman with integrated bike-helmets make as much sense as the Star Wars universe --> Nada.

I expected a more finely crafted setting and characters. But hey, since this whole industry is still very immature, I can't expect that much at once, huh?

Eh?

 

Condom armor wearing reptile? Condom Armor?!?!? :p
