Mass Effect 3 being JRPGish save the 360 in sales?

It could use JRPG combat and increase sales in Japan and demand for it to be ported to ps3 even more? Or atleast offer more weapons if it is FPS combat...

I didn't realize the 360 needed saving.

360 doesn't need to be saved in sales on last checking.

Maybe in jpn but it was never going to sell alot in jpn not yet atleast, but it outsold the original xbox long ago.

Its way behind the Wii and the Ps3 is catching up >_> in sales but it still has amazing games coming

JRPG battles system in ME3? What is this blasphemy? :|

Mass Effect is not a system seller, even though it is on par with the quality of system selling games. Even if it is JRPG style Japanese ppl won't buy it because it isn't made in Japan and therefore sux.mysterj

Wait Japanese not like American games, I though it was just the FPS games?

The mere idea makes me want to throw up lol.

It could use ATB or combine shooting and TB gameplay like if you reload you can activate turn based mode and mellee and when you exit you can shoot again idk.

Or MS could do a Lost Odyssey Halo cross over to help global sells

That's a step backwards

I'm gonna have to disagree on this one.

I mean Fallout did it nice with the VATS thing where you could pause and pick parts except in this enemies could do it backBanjo_Kongfooie

That's got to be the dumbest idea I've heard all week...sorry. I'm blunt.

Wait what... I love JRPGs more than most people on this board, but I would probably have to shoot someone if they made Mass Effect 3 JRPGish....

Mass Effect 2 is an Overrated Shooter disguised as an RPG.

If it uses turn based JRPG style combat I'm not buying it, period the end.

If ME3 would be JRPG, I would burn myself. And after that I'll probably hang myself.

Why would adding JRPG elements in battle make the Japanese gaming populace want to buy it? This is the same kind of thinking that people pursue when making shovelware. They think that the gamers they are aiming for would want to buy their games just because they copied the formula and make slight variations. You have to understand why people like JRPGs and proceed from there.

BioWare would sooner close than becoming a JRPG maker.

It half turn base, half real time shooter. And turn based state with wrpgs.dreman999

VATS is not turn-based.

"Turn-based" means your opponent has also a turn while your character is "resting".

Fallout 1 and 2 were turn based, but the combat was quite unlike most (or all?) JRPGs. Fallout 3 mostly dropped turn-based for real-time combat (aside from VATS), and New Vegas is throwing in iron sights...so, like with Mass Effect, the trend has been away from classic RPG combat and more towards FPS/TPS combat.

If they gave Mass Effect 3 Halo's combat, it'd sell much more than if they gave it Final Fantasy 13's. Not that they need to change anything at all to make the game sell well, nor will Mass Effect 3 sell a huge number of 360s (it's not even exclusive).

More like how some people disguise their ignorance (in this case not knowing an RPG right in front of them) as a forum comment ;)

Let me get this right TC?

To somehow save a console (that not in any danger of dying), Bioware should change ME's battle system in a way that would totally alineating their fanbase?

Logic like this is only possible in SW.

So, lets kill a franchise to sell a few more units?

No thanks. It already happend enough times this gen :?

people bought it because it's a shooter.

Dragon Age, which was a better RPG (read: RPG) didnt sell as well on the 360 as ME2, simply because there was no shooting invovled. that's all there is to it.

BioWare will never make ME3 a JRPG, they won't make a JRPG period, and EA wouldn't publish it.

BioWare knows what sells and what doesn't.

If it happened (which it never will), they would lose the entire U.S. market in an instant.

I didn't know it was turn-based JRPG's that were the highest selling games in Japan. :question:

And why would they want to be successful in Japan when they've already got the Western market on lockdown? Not to mention how many millions of people changing the game would alienate in the West.

All I want to see come from ME3, aside from an amazing story, is more exploration and perhaps a little more inventory managment.

get mistwalker to make another Lost Odyssey

:lol: No - They just need to announce Lost Odyssey 2 already. :D
