I played both AC/AC2 and Uncharted/U2, and trust me, I do value history and continuity. If there is any glimpse of history ever hinted on the second installment and I couldn't access the first one in order to grasp the history, I'd be truly sad. Therefore, my opinion stands as before, without ME1, f*** ME2.

lol no its not, its a straight up trilogy and on top of that, its a trilogy where you steer it. It really does seem pointless without the first game.

Mass Effect 2 is the only game that ever made me even consider buying a 360 to play it, and now I won't have to. This is fantastic news :D

Its really not that good of a series, from a RPG standpoint. The dialog is well written, but the overall storyline is not that stong. The RPG system in the game is very shallow and there is just not that mich to do/see/explore. Of all of Bioware's games, the Mass Effect series is really living off the hype train rather then the quality of the actual product.

If you want to play a good space RPG, get Star Ocean : The Last Hope. It's superior in every meaningful way gameplay-wise.

Great news for PS3 fans. Its a great series and it probably means ME3 will be coming to PS3 as well as EA would love to mak e mor e mone y if the game releases on both consoles.

If they dont release ME1 as well thats just stupid considering you can port your shepard into ME2 and IMO is a great/fun feature. Looks like ill just have to buy ME1/2 when i buy my new computer :(

While it's cool your all getting to play ME2, just a warning, there isn't much point, ME1 was the best of the two and Microsoft part owns it as they commissioned the first game, and really the best thing about ME2 was been able to import your ME1 character and see all the consequences to there choices in the first game unfold in the second, and without that, your just flying around the Galaxy picking people up so they can all go die on a suicide mission, which TBH isn't all that fun, so again it's nice your all getting ME2 but without the first you might as well not bother.

Because a console is the most mainstream way to play a videogame.

Many people such as myself don't have computers with updated enough software and hardware to play games like ME2. To play it we would have to update a lot of things which are very expensive, or we could just play it on a console which we already own...

ME2 is a great game, but the continuity from the first game is part of what makes it such a fantastic experience. I can see a lot of people being disappointed if they have to play through the game as if they were a renegade in the first game.

You sir are absolutely correct. There is nothing more I hate than to play a sequel and not have played the original. I love it when games have a history and make you feel like you've been with the characters since the beginning. The Metal Gear Solid series does this the best because you need to play all of the games in order to understand the story. Luckily I have Mass Effect for the PC, so I have to finish it soon. I've gotten way too lazy.

They might be able to do Mass Effect "sigma" or something like that. Ninja Gaiden 2 was also published by microsoft but it somehow came to PS3. Mass Effect could still do the same. EA published the first game for PC after the 360 version came out, so the franchise technically belongs to EA. I wouldn't count the first game out just yet. Microsoft should have done something to keep the series exclusive and they dropped the ball. I feel bad for 360 owners. Everything third party is going multiplat and with almost nothing first party from MS, people are really getting screwed.

While it's a great thing for ps3, it's still a small victory. You get to play the sequel, but you miss out on importing your character with decisions made from the first one. It's a half ass effort and EA's way of making more money. It would be different if both were being ported over to ps3 but to port one and not the other makes no sense in regards to this game.

I sure hope they don't bring any more 360 exclusives over to the PS3 or you guys will be complaining forever. :roll:

It is funny seeing the other folks coming over here and trying their adolescent best to put some sort of negative spin on this though.

Are you so into calling other people adolescent (clearly implying that they know less than you, or even better, that their opinions have less weight due to age) that you can't notice that the complains ain't due to the port itself but due to the lack of the first installment of the series?

Can't you see it cripples the series for any possible PS3 player in a way that cannot be easily solved? It breaks any sense of continuity that's supposed to exist between the games?

Just imagine this, for a second.

Would you watch Matrix Reloaded after seeing just some flashs and "most important moments" feature of the first movie (Which was far better than the one you'd be seeing btw)?

The PS3 is a product, so of course it can't "make their own games" - That's the devolopers job. Besides, there are plenty of first party and third party games for the PS3, there's nothing wrong with expanding that libary with such a high rating game like Mass Effect 2. Why should it of stayed on the 360? Why deny people the chance to play a game like this?

I was talking about was the guy who said it's sloppy seconds for $60.

As far as the lack of the first game "crippling" the series, dude, it's a video game. An intro movie explaining the events of the previous game will be fine. I'm sure it would be a more fulfilling experience if I had played the first game, but I'm not going to lose any sleep over it.

Well, neither will I guess, since I'll probably play it on the PC (when I get one that can handle the game, not like I'm in a hurry to play it anyway). But I guess I'll respect your opinion on that than, if you see no problem at all.

Yeah but I could care less if the first comes to us. A video expounding the plot (which will probably be the case) for it is fine enough for me.
