Then you'd understand that Saints Row 2 was loosely connected to Saints Row 1. Your character dies at the ending of SR1, which does pave the way for SR2, but in such a way as to not interfere with a new player getting in on a Saints Row game for the first time.

On the other hand, Mass Effect is very plot-driven, and I highly doubt the story is going to be as forgiving as the story arc from Saints Row 1 to Saints Row 2.

It's like putting someone in the middle of The Empire Strikes back, and thinking they're going to already understand the whole idea of the Star Wars series vs. having them thrown in on a Friday the 13th sequel. Big difference.

bad anology considerig thats exactly what lucas did. star wars was actually the 4th installment but first movie

It wouldn't really make sense for the sequel to go to a system that doesn't have the original. It's one big story unfolding.

 

Then it wouldn't make sence for 360 owners to get Final Fantasy, the 360 doesn't have the originals like the PS1 and PS2 do, why should they get 13?

 

do you have to try to make stupid responses or does it just come natural.

 

FF any number has no relation to any other FF game.  different world, different characters, different story, no continuation at all.  Unlike Mass Effect trilogy which is continued story from a left off cliffhanger or whatever happened.  I didn't finish the first Mass Effect, got bored.

This. I went to a couple Gamestops and they said the game - SR2 - wasn't selling and even returned because folks just didn't get it. You really needed to play the first Saints Row to understand what really went down. I even got an Achievement for tracking down Julius from the first game. You wouldn't even know what he was all about by just playing SR2.

 

GAH!!!!!

SPOILERS!!!!!

What's with the attack? He said there's no sence to putting ME2 on PS3 because the first one wasn't. I replied that there's no sence of putting the FFXIII on 360 when they don't have the other ones. Regardless of the story.

it has the 10 still. If the final fantasy is a different number it is completely different. 10-2 and the 7 spinoffs yes. and whatever 13 versus is is in the same world as 13 at least.

but again those are the same numbered games. Different numbered games are basically a new IP, just with final fantasy name so it sells a gagillion copies

@irstupid- nice spin.

Mass Effect 2, YEAH BABY!!!

Looking for the specs, but i'm sure my PC can handle it...

Given the losses just posted by EA...seems that M$ would have little problem "sweetening" the deal for EA to get assured money on a timed exclusive of some sort.
