Why Mass Effect 2 will FLOP

Reasons why it will be a flop and ME3 will never happen:

1. EA is the publisher and many people still hate EA. Given their current practices, they force devs to rush their games leading to mediocre games like LOTR: Conquest.

2. The recession. People are buying games that are well-known only right now and the publishers know this. Mass Effect isn't a well established IP, next year it might even get lost in all of the great upcoming titles just like many games in 2008

3. Bioware is spread too thin. With Dragon Age origins, SW: TOR, Mass Effect DLC, chacnes are Bioware will not have put as much effort into ME2 as they would have liked. Not enough manpower. Making ME2's quality to be less and thereofre get less sales.

4. Mass Effect doesn't have a huge fanbase. It's a very niche title and those fans expect greatness from ME2, but chances are it will be of less quality than ME1 which is why it will flop. This will lead to a smaller fanbase, less sales and the ME franchise will be abandoned.

1. EA still sells a lot of games. That won't change

2. So, you think that Mass Effect 2 is last on everyone's list and that people will buy all the other games in 2010 and not Mass Effect 2?

3. Dragon Age's team has been split between The Old Republic and Mass Effect 2, and Bioware only has a few people working on Mass Effect 2 DLC.

4. Mass Effect has a good-sized fanbase, as do Bioware and EA. And they aren't going to stop until they finish the trilogy.

5. I think you're just pissed that it isn't coming to PS3.

What's hilarious is if it gets announced for the PS3 you will be eating your words.

If you had a little more credibility then maybe people would take you a little more seriously. Plus, don't state these things as fact. It's competely stupid.

So, you're saying that nobody will buy Mass Effect 2 because everyone would rather spend their money on other games of not well-established franchises? And everyone here knows you're a massive Cow, and won't listen to anything you say.

I would argue that niche game get more love from their developer because they know the quiality will help the word of mouth. ME has a great fanbase from what I've seen and the first was well recieved by critics. I'm sure it will do well.

1. EA published ME1, and it was a huge success and sold very well.

2. I'm pretty sure ME2 is one of the most highly anticipated games of 2010. EA is putting a ton of money into their marketing, and everyone will know about the game when it is released.

3. This is Bioware man! Of course ME2 will be great!

4. I'm sorry, i just have to laugh at this. ME has a HUGE fanbase! How ignorant can you get?!?

Ugh, you're like the Cow equivalent of Nidget ¬_¬

You just made this thread because it isn't on the PS3 didn't you :P

Also, saying that Mass Effect doens't have a huge fanbase discredited any hope your post had at being believable

I think I have a translation for the cow. "Mass Effect 2 will flop because It's not coming to my console, now I'm stating false idiotic information just to ease the pain while others enjoy this masterpiece. *dad hold me*" :cry:

Either way the first was a huge success and EA has been through a rough path but currently they have been proving themselves worthy. Bioware is also a smart company that really care for their fanbase. Judging by gameplay, interviews, trailers that Mass Effect 2 has to offer, you can truly tell that Bioware learned from their mistakes on the 1st and will improve on the sequel.

I don't see how points 2 and 4 have to do with the actual quality of the game. Unless you'e referring to sale floppage. If that's the case, forget what I just said :P.
