PS3 Owners: Why haven't you bought Mass Effect 2?

contrary to what most PS3 owners want you to believe we dont want it. PS3 users are not shooter fans evident by sales of SONY's 1st party offering.

This comment only shows that some PS3 owners are  misguided about this game then. Possibly the best new franchise this gen. great RPG.

Well the core gameplay is standard over the shoulder 3rd party shooter. And I know of what I speak because I've platinumed ME2. The peripheral game play is RPG, and it's a good balance of RPG and TPS, but if you are not a fan of TPS gameplay then ME2 is not really a game for you. I do like TPS but I prefer the more free form camera style of Uncharted than the tight over the shoulder of ME (and as I understand it Gears of War). Personally I prefer Dragon Age: Origins over ME2, because I prefer the DA:O gameplay style and it's got better RPG elements.

I just think PS3 owners are a fairly small WRPG market. I prefer my WRPGs on PC, but I don't have a PC capable of playing Mass Effect or DA:O so I got the PS3 versions. Once I get a better PC then I'll be getting my WPRG fix on PC. I'll be getting ME3 on PS3 because I simply refuse to own 2 versions of the same game, so given I already have ME2 for PS3 then I'm committed to ME3 on PS3. I'll probably swtich to PC for the Dragon Age franchise, though DA2 seems to be somewhat consolified in its gameplay so perhaps DA3 will be when I switch to PC.

ME is certainly one of the top new franchises this gen. But IMO not the top.
