So you're assuming that since you took the time to do every single quest you could find and read every codex entry and play the game more than once that everyone will do the same?  I'm sorry to break this to you but everyone isn't like you and the vast majority of people will not complete this game more than once and a good amount of people won't even complete the game once.

As much as I like Mass Effect, the gameplay wasn't good enough to keep going and the story doesn't change enough to make people want to complete it more than once.  Sure, some people will think I wonder what happens if I go renegade or maybe what happens if I help this guy cheat but most people won't go beyond wondering.

Remember, most people that frequent these kind of forums aren't the norm. 

Dont think so Difference in license and the actual game. License could just mean all sequals and spin offs.

Load issues were really not that bad, they had their moments but really didnt destroy the game, you must really hate them

This is opinion as is your whole post, i think mass effect and its characters are fantastic, it wont appear to have so much character development because its not linear, you have choices. Besides that the story is still one of the best ive seen, with side quests actually some being awsome.

I highly doubt that, the amount of different scenerios with different characters, choices all make for compelling replay, not only that but custimization and different classes. Im sorry but this goes back to your arguement that like bioshock even with different endings it doesnt have that much incentive to replay again. Mass effect does and i cant believe you argue this. Im also at 30 hours and havent beat it (the you know who just attacked the cidital) so 15-20 hours is just doing main quest.

I dont think its the best at anything but voice acting i agree with you, but its still one of the top games in each of its genres including the worse framerate issues.......

Exactly, but still calling mass effect dirt? Comon really?

Im quite normal thank you

I havent done every quest, ive just began to dwell into the world known as mass effect. I havent read any of the codex (actually a few). Really if you dont want to replay this game over others then something is wrong with you.

Gameplay is quite fun if you mess around with it. Nothing much more fun then sending husks everywhere with throw, or using singularity to group them up then tossing a grenade in there and wtf evaporating them.

Really this game has tons more replay then any rpg ive played. Only games you will most likely play more are games with multiplayer or games that offer so much danm content its not even funny (im looking at you ff 12 even if your story sucked monkey balls you were worth the purchase)

Most of the posts from people who've played it mention that they're going to replay it again.  Also a lot of RPG players seem to be completists so it wouldn't surprise me if a lot of them did indeed replay it to see how things play out differently.

We will trade you Mass Effect for Afrika!

Okay, lets talk about Mass Effect on PS3 rumors!

Q: Will Mass Effect be ported to the PS3?
A: No.

Alright guys, that was fun! Talk to you later. 

He's right, EA does own the rights to it and the name (do trademark search on gov website for Mass Effect). But the likelihood of it actually happening is slim to none.

How ever much it would be great i highly doubt that MassEffect will go to the PS3 maybe MassEffect 2 and 3 but MS has probably already set asside funds to buy the exclusivity of those games anyway. This is just like the Bioshock rumours and the MGS4 and the FFXIII rumours it will never happen so just live with what you have.

 That's not how these things work. MS had a deal with Bioware where they would help or entirely cover the development in exchange for exclusive rights to the game via publishing it themselves. Since they financed and and published the game themselves, they have the sole right to sell Mass Effect 1 the game. Now, any other thing relating to Mass Effect not covered by any other previous agreements Bioware had is fair game. Mass Effect 2 and 3 and the comics, all fair game. But while they own the licence of the Mass Effect IP, they do not have the right to distribute Mass Effect 1. Even after an acquisition like this, EA is still obligated to honor any contracts signed by Bioware. So unless MS entered into a new deal with EA following the buyout, it's MS's game to sell and profit from (minus any amount that was supposed to go to Bioware).

Which leads me to think of a couple of scenarios:

1) Bioware will make future Mass Effect titles, and will be at least PC/PS3/360 multiplat, if not more spinoffs for Wii/DS/whatever.

2) MS will secure the Mass Effect series as an exclusive for the PC/360. Moneyhats are the key here.

3) After a certain time, probably a few months to a year before Mass Effect 2, Mass Effect will be released on the PC/PS3 due to a new agreement between MS and EA where MS will relinquish their publishing rights to the first Mass Effect. It'll raise awareness for the first game on other platforms so the sequel will sell better. Will probably involve EA giving MS something, or maybe MS just thinks being in the good graces of the biggest third party supporter for their platform is better business than holding onto a game whose sequel is going multiplatform no matter what. 

I think the time exclusive scenario is the most likely one to be honest. MS doesn't want to piss off EA, in fact they probably want to keep them very happy. On the flip side, EA doesn't want to piss off MS either, since the 360 now makes EA the most money if I'm not mistaken (or was PS2 still the top earner?). So, they'll come to an amicable and mutually beneficial arrangement. I think Mass Effect will find it's way to the PS3 before 2009 to be honest.
