They keep screaming "Teh downgrade!!" when it's already been cleared up that there was infact NO DOWNGRADE AT ALL.  So why the bitterness?  Is it because the pathetic PS3 will never have graphics as good as Mass Effect?  Or is it because the PS3 is losing the console war?

well, because Mass Effect looks better than anything on the PS3 (right now), and they refuse to admit it

Or maybe that the PS3 doesn't have any gamesright now that can compete with the origniality, style, and gameplay of Mass Effect. Just wait for "but I don't want to play a shooter!"

I will second this post. There are many Mass Effect threads on the main page. Making a new topic with the same (general) subject isn't quite productive.

There is no downgrade. The game looks incredible in motion. I own a 360 because of Mass Effect; I know it will be amazing.

Leave it to one blind fanboy to generalize an entire fanbase based upon the opinions of other blind fanboys.  I was surprised by the supposed downgrade, but it's BioWare. Anyone with sense knows they know what they're doing.

Of course there was no downgrade. It never looked like those touched up super crisp screens rendered on a PC to begin with. Still looks great, but just like GeOW, there are plenty of doctored photos of specially rendered scenes from a PC to make it look even better.

And if Jade Empire is any example, it's worth waiting for.

Because it's like when sheep don't get Assassin's Creed, or lemmings don't get Motorstorm. If it is not on your system of choice, it sucks and all who praise it are biased.

Oblivion, probably the largest video game ever made, fits on one DVD. That shows how BluRay is not needed this gen. Especially since the 360 has a hard drive anyways.

I think that's the best response to the question asked since it isn't targeted at a certain group and it shows the reasons behind the bashing.

In other words, I agree.

I think Mass Effect are for nerds. My personal opinion. Most Bioware games are. It fits that D&D lifestyle. I think it will flop in sales just like all Bioware games.

[QUOTE="lawlessx"] cant say i see a difference in those screenshots..

I can see plenty of different. The character models look lifeless, undetailed and lack actual 'texture' with the texture on the suits. If you look closely at the bottom picture, you can actually see the fabric in the Asari's suit, and the metalic feeling to Garrus' suit. As far as environments go, hopefully you can see the additional level of detail in the second shot which is lacking in the first.

Of course, only a fanboy would bash a game without an arguement. How exactly is it for nerds? What exactly is a nerd? What is the D&D lifestyle? I didnt know that a tabletop roleplaying game = a video game rpg. My hunch is that your mad that your system wont have any bioware games. And my good sir, bioware games dont flop.

KOTOR sold 1.3 million units in the US alone, not including the PC version. :? And you have no right to be pointing the nerd finger, as you have well over 4000 posts on an internet forum discussing videogames.

No, Bioware sales are not even close to EA, Capcom, Blizzard, Nintendo numbers. Tell those guys in Canada you in a business to make money.

I think a better question is why does the TC hate PS3 so much that he has to make a topic trying to attack it every 15 minutes? Oh, thats right. He's a filthy Fanboy.

If you went up to a relatively normal girl, and you say that you spend much of your free time debating over video games in message boards, how do you think she will react? I can hardly think of anything 'nerdier'.

I don't care if it's nerdy. I won't deny myself possibly the best game of 2007 because of this. I like things that are nerdy. I like Warcraft. I like the Alien films. I have almost every major character from Warcraft memorized. I enjoy collectible card games. I liked the movie Serenity. I'd rather spend my time RPing with a guild in WoW than going outside. I like fantasy settings filled with dragons and magic and evil and good. I like Harry Potter.

:roll: Well, if you can't accept your inner nerd, you're only living a life of denial. KOTOR is an expression of the nerd, it uses the DnD system, it's an RPG set in the Star Wars universe with plenty of Bioware-made fan fiction. If Mass Effect is anything like KOTOR, I'll be buying all the prequel books released.

After so long waiting for it too come to PC, it had better be. I prefer Jade Empire with a gamepad though, but still, although I love the setting, it isn't Bioware's best. Hopefully Mass Effect steals the crown from KOTOR for console and NWN for PC. It's looking awesome.

Ask anybody what do they think of a person who likes Star Wars or Star Trek and most of them will say nerds. KOTOR anyone?
