The first game sold 30k there, which is lower than almost all the other big WRPGs that were sold there.

Man, this poll is bad; it needs an option that lets you say that it doesn't need jrpg elements. No and no and never, Mass Effect is great as it is, adding JRPG elements will be bad for such a great game. Anyways, I doubt Bioware would do that, they are anti-JRPG.

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...

what...the...hell?

Mass effect is overrated as it is. It has to fix alot of things, better story desing and no cheap rushed stuff like the first did. Better than just laughable level design, give combat a meaning add big enviroments, etc,etc,etc. Wherever mass effect 3 will improve, depends on what you call improvement. The second one removed that that could have been improved and being great and turn combat into a shooter. When bioware realize that making mort stuff and fixing them instead of removing essential rpg stuff like the inventory.....then they will improve on franshise.

hahaha.... I had the same reaction. absolutly the worst suggestion ever made by a human being ever... do you know why JRPG's are fading away? because Western Developers have surpassed the Japanese in game design. period. changing mass effect to JRPG style gameplay on the third game would be like watching your waiter bring you a fine piece of steak, all to get to your table, drop his pants and duece all over it.

Mass Effect is already jRPG enough by not having any choices.ampiva

You need to choose your words better. :|

For that matter, instead of looking how we could incorporate JRPG styIe into Mass Effect, how about instead we examine how we could put actual role playing into JRPGs ;)

Yes because Mass Effect should so borrow from a genre that has been stagnating for a better part of a decade.

Clearly the TC hates the 360 and loves JRPGs. I for one love the 360 and hate JRPGs. And since when is Mass Effect 2 "JRPG-ish"? It's as Western as the KFC Double Down.

Firstly, Mass Effect would never change to a JRPG game as that would kill the franchise. Secondly, it does not have FPS combat. Thirdly, the 360 doesn't need saving as it is still selling well. In fact, no console needs saving as they are all selling well.

Let's keep Mass Effect as an WRPG. There are enough JRPGs floating around as it is.

Wow instead of reading my coment you bash japanese games... Some of the best games are made by japanese dev's I know for the 360 my favorite games are Dead Rising and Resident Evil 5... Oblivion Mass Effect 2 and Dragon Age are runner up...

Mass Effect is a linear game but they are applying Morrowind/Oblivion gameplay to it... Why not make it more like a JRPG since most people play Mass Effect for the story and the JRPG mechanics would help boost sales. I mean they could even add a secret monster hunter world kinda like Peace Walker did for missions.

I mean it doesn't fit the Mass Effect universe but it could be like the Secret Cow level. If they do not add JRPG elements they should atleast do that because how fun would it be killing giant dinosaurs in a shooter... just ask Turok.

I mean you all are saying I am biased and hate the 360 despite the fact I really do not like JRPGs too much and I am speaking objectively. I think you guys are misinterpretting what I am saying.

They evolved the battle system in ME2 really well. Mass Effect would be horrible using things like turn-based systems, especially after playing it with the current battle system.

Killing giant dinosaurs in ME3? It's already there in the form of thresher maws! And why the hell should they add JRPG elements? It would cripple the game instead of making it better.

So you'd much rather have a slow paced, boring grindfest that a clean shooter/RPG hybrid that is well paced and still managed around 30+ hours of gameplay?

FF13 is a great example of modern JRPG gameplay that works....but I'd rather ME keep its s t y l e. And wouldn't it be hypocritical for BioWare to do that, when they spent a month attacking JRPGs?

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

The Japanese don't tend to buy electronics from non-Japanese corporations. If Sony was American you can bet that the Playstation brand would never have sold as much as it has there.

Forget Japan. Mass Effect 2 is miles ahead of anything coming out of Japan right now. You want to significantly decrease the quality of the game to sell a few units in a culture which might not even take to it?

[QUOTE="IronBass"][QUOTE="LegatoSkyheart"]Mass Effect 2 is an Overrated Shooter disguised as an RPG.AdobeArtist

Every single popular/high rated game in gaming history is overrated.

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

I know what an RPG is and from what I played from the Demo that it's a pretty good 3rd Person Shooter.

I find the so called RPG elements in the game pretty lame.

First of the 360 does not need saving and second, I do not think Bioware's goal is to get more 360 sales.

Quite a lot actually. you get the Intro, Shepard's Awakening and I believe the first Mission.

Besides isn't a Demo supposed to give you a taste in the game to help decide whether or not to get it?

I played the Demo and Liked it but I think it's more of a 3rd Person Shooter than a RPG.

That's barely anything though. There's much more to ME2 than just that, it's not just shooting.
