They way I see it is if Gearbox didn't make Duke or Aliens, no one would. I'm glad the games came out regardless of their final state. Did anybody honestly expect a game 12 years ago to be any good? Aliens CM looks like most of its development was done in 2008.


So you're saying Bioware or Bungie couldn't fix this game?


Someone has not played ME3, Bioware folded under the pressure of E.A. and it's their I.P. Who knows how this game would have come out if bioware were at the helm. Plus did you play DA2? Bioware hasn't made anything decent in years.

Disagree.  Mass Effect 3 was actually a superb game.  Just some people was annoyed by the last 5 minutes of the game, not the entire game

I agree Mass Effect 3 is great it just is not as good as two. The ending is fine people just are sad because it is dark and sort of sad. Internet drama queens I tell you.

I'm glad you enjoyed it but for the die hard fans it was a slap in the face way before the ending

My honest opinion but as a series I think Mass Effect may be the best thing out of this generation as it plays out like one game.  Of course all three has there own differences but if this series ever hit the big screen I think it would have a good chance of gaining a fanbase like Star Wars and Star Trek.

Let me say this.  Once something is so far into development the only way to fix everything is by scrapping everything.

This game has been in development since 2001. Gearbox has had it longer than Fox. They could've stripped the whole game.

All of Biowares games are well above decent. Decent is the score Colonial marines gets or passable if anything.

I agree, Mass Effect is probably the best franchise to come out this whole gen, and in second Uncharted then Gears in my book.

Id chose them as my three as well.  All three could end up in hollywood if done right.  Gears with it's apocalypse and uncharted pretty much already is a hollywood movie.  I dont know if anybody has read any of the Gears books but they are fantastic as well.

Same can be said about Duke Nukem and Randy Pitchford had the balls to say that if reviewers didn't like they game they would held accountable. A shit game is still a shit game. They can't hide behind their one hit RPG shooter forever.
