the ending isn't meaningfully different from what it was before. It's still "we made synthetic life to kill you all so synthetic life can't kill you all".

it's not EXACTLY like that, and I am sure Drakken thanks for the spoilers! :P

Meh, I'm right now on KOTOR2 with the Restored Content mod on. By the time I find myself getting interested in ME I'll have forgotten all about it.  :P

Also, Bioware isn't much more then a EA brand now.
I guess EA doesn't keep seperate studios at all, only brands?  Of all the studioes EA acquired over the years, it doesn't seem any of them stayed an independant division for long.
BioWare has been for a while, and Mythic beneath it.  And then there's Maxis.

Is ME3 playable without having played the first two?

I would NOT do that because:
-the story and the world in 3 is MUCH more meaningful if you have played the others
-ME1 and ME2 may not be that great gameplay-wise (altough still good. ME1 is action-ish RPG, ME2 is RPG-ish action), but they have a great world, great story, good characters. Well worth picking both up for pennies, playing through them, then playing 3, which is really great, especially now that they have fixed the ending.

I gotta agree. ME3 would have been less compelling without back-story.

Mass Effect 4 is in development.  They will use the Frostbite 2 engine, with the modifications the Dragon Age team has already worked on.

Is that the thing DA2 runs on? Hopefully, it's nothing like that.

No, it's the engine used for DA3 (in development), and many games developped by EA.  I think the last Battlefield is on that engine.

Yes the engine was developed by DICE who also made BF3.

Anybody here still playing MP?

Ok.  Next question then: anyone interested in playing a Silver game this week, between 21:00 and 23:00 EST?

Finally finished ME3 last night.  Wow, that was.... different.  I'm pretty sure I got the best ending: [spoiler]the synthesis ending, which reminded me of the ending of Deux Ex, only on steroids. [/spoiler]

No idea what game I'll play next. :hmm:
