BioWare doesn't deny PS3 Mass Effect.

lol... bioshock? rock band? madworld? conduit? NMH? left for dead? heavenly sword? VC? DS? resistance? infamous? there are ton of great ones.

You can list all you want. I didn't say "the only new IP of this generation." I said the greatest, and i stand by that statement.

Wow... completely flew over your head... well maybe this one wont... I say LAIR is the greatest new IP this gen.

Oh no, I understand what it means to be subjective. You could call LAIR the greatest new IP, and simply put, you'd be wrong. If you were to rank the new IPs of the generation, and you were able to have people rank the various aspects of it, as well as how highly they recommend it to friends, I can virtually guarantee that ME would score the highest. I'm never impressed by game trailers or hype. I was convinced to play mass effect by recommendations by friends who had played it through multiple times. Then I went on to show friends the game and at least 2 more friends bought it after I convinced them how great it was. Outside of hardcore circles, Mass Effect was not known, and it really impressed a grand number of people - and when ME2 cruises well past ME1 in sales, we'll see the effect of being such a high quality and highly regarded new IP.

.... no... no you don't.

My point is, if you rank it by any quantifiable means, it would come out on top. Clearly everyone has their own opinion. Something like LAIR was a disappointment on a massive scale. Reviewers and gamers, by and large, hated it. It had a shoddy control scheme and loads of issues. To call it the greatest is wrong. You can call it your favorite, but on no neutral scale could it ever earn that ranking. Mass Effect was a critically acclaimed peice of software that sold based on word of mouth and fantastic reviews. It also recieved accolades for many different aspects of it's presentation - it's storyline, it's dialogue system, it's graphics, it's artistic presentation, etc. I would say the only titles this gen that came close in overall acclaim AND popularity among those players that bought it would be Uncharted and Bioshock.

What means would those be?  If you mean quality then you absolutley HAVE TO include Valkyrie Chronicles.  But since it appears you only play XBOX games, you wouldn't know about that.  And no game I've played has been more fun than inFAMOUS this gen.  And Gears of War has sold more and had the largest graphical leap.  What "quantifiable means" are you referring to, exactly?  And why do you get to make them up?

 

The only way Jereels comment can be varified is if you get a decent sized sample group from around the world. Of people who don't own the Wii, 360, or Ps3. And have them play EVERY single new IP and have them grade them.

But didn't he get, like, 2 people to buy it?  Thats pretty definitive if you ask me.

Once again, I LOVED Mass Effect...played through it multiple times...
