[QUOTE="shungokustasu"]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.shungokustasu

 

please tell me you were joking about that part

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.

Oh but when Ninendo is making so much money and selling so much consoles you use lame duck exuses as to why they sell so much right? Yeah well um if Bioware games are for nerds then Japanese games are for anime freaks. Hey while we are at it GTA is for wangstaz and gangsta wannabes.

[QUOTE="project343"][QUOTE="shungokustasu"] Well, let's ask my girlfriend. Oh I'm sure she doesn't mind since she always playing the Wii.

: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.

You see my nerd defintion my be different than yours. Any person who is overly obsessive about space is a nerd to me.

Yes, this is true; however, they will say the same thing for internet-based message boards about videogames.

I 90% agree with your post... The only part I see wrong is I give a lame duck excuse for Nintendo. I'm happy for Nintendo selling well.. The Wii is played more in my house than my PS3.

Yes, this is true; however, they will say the same thing for internet-based message boards about videogames.

I actually agree with shungo. Since Youtube and Myspace have taken off it's a lot less nerdy to be on the internet now, even posting in message boards. I wouldn't classify myself as nerdy but then again, I wouldn't classify myself as a hardcore gamer either.

Not that there is anything wrong with nerdy people, just pointing that out.

Well, I myself do not apply any kind of "nerd" connotation to enjoying those things. As long as I do not start dressing up and going to conventions, I will be fine.

And D&D owns any video game RPG.

I must be living under a rock, I thought we were still at 2.0. :? I don't know a single person in real life who browses internet forums on a regular basis (other then myself), and I'm friends with many 'hardcore' gamers, and 'nerds' of many types. So enjoying an IP is considered nerdy, but arguing over videogames in forums isn't? What is this world coming to?

Something I could never get into. My imagination stretches only so far, plus I don't know any DnDers in real life. I also don't consider myself the biggest fan of fantasy, but I still respect, and enjoy it. I'd take Star Wars over Lord of the Rings any day.

Internet is more coming than home phones. My company has a freaking Myspace page. They also recommend us to make one too. on average youtube gets like 100 million hits a day. Message boards and forums are so common now. You know what else is picking up? girls playing video games.

Lets put this to rest once and for all. There is no such thing as a "nerd." This term was coined by the conformist mainstream people, who want to put the people who accually think and use their brains in a positive and productive way as "weird" or "lame." People who use the term "nerd" on a regular basis deserve no respect.

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?viper7721

No denying that. Well, 3 of my good friends on Jedi Academy happened to be girls. Heck, my 'best friend' on World of Warcraft was a 48 year old grandmother, I was also friends with her daughter (who also played), and I played with her daughter's kids regularly.

PS3 fans keep posting inaccurate/unfinished screenshots of Mass Effect and then claiming "Teh downgrade!!".  This is obvious bitterness.

We're not bitter, dude, it's just a really good looking game and we want to play it. It does not look better than the best stuff on PS3. Plus, this is ignorant: "Mass Effect looks better than anything on the PS3 (right now)" Easy way to refute that statement: UT3. Same engine, better graphics, end of story.

You cannot even begin to say that. It looks like an awesome game, but this year will roll out with such big titles you can't start saying crap like that.

Thats easy, the PS3 has yet to have a AAA exclusive game, nor many AA exclusives, while the 360 keeps getting more and more making the PS3 look even less appealing.

I've kept hearing lemmings hyping Mass Effect, so finally decided to watch one of the trailers. IT looks great, but personally I would not buy a 180 or a 360 to play it. I thinks there already too many sci-fi shooting games on the xflop and then a sci-fi shooting rpg is being made as we speak. LMAO And yes the PS3 is currently losing the consol war, but how well do u think the 180/360 is goin to do now that it actually as competition and also the fact that ms released their cheap version of the PS3 or a cheap version of a next gen consol??!! BTW I've read numerous times that the PS3 is doing better than the PSone & PS2 sales within the first few months of release, and this is after all that talk about it being overpriced/expensive. According to vg charts it has sold over 3mil.!!

It's where I played most of those Xbox 1 games last time around, on the PC. KoToR 1 and 2, Jade Empire. Halo, Fable, Escape from Butcher Bay...Waiting does not mean a thing to me. I operate on my own timeframe.

Why are the Lemmings so bitter about MGS4? 'Teh downgrade', 'it will be ported' etc, you act like you're victims and innocent when most lemmings have ruined SW just by bashing cows and PS3 all the time.
