Mass Effect

[Kimarhi]

I didn't know anything about ME at first and pretty much used Jacob as a perma squad member in my first play through.  :\

They should just go ahead and make him a villain in ME4.

[Kimarhi]

I didnt like his limited range loadout more than anything else. 

[Local Trouble]

He's basically the Fifield of Mass Effect.

I know this is an unpopular opinion, but ME Andromeda is actually hilarious. 

[Local Trouble]

I have never played that game.

In addition to Mass Effect 4, a couple of potential spiritual successors to Mass Effect in the works:

Worth keeping an eye on, I'd say.

A teaser and official website through EA for a new title Mass Effect Epsilon have both been posted online.

How are the Mass Effect books?

[Kimarhi]

I read one maybe a decade ago about Anderson during his attempted Spectre years and found it to be pretty flat and boring. 

It essentially reads like almost every other media tie in novel with an author who is just putting in minimal work to cash in a paycheck, or intentionally limited by what he could write by the studio in the universe. 

Aliens novelizations have more than a few of this instance, especially novels between Bantam and the new novels. 

[Wweyland]

Yeah, and it's sometimes the same group of authors who do these. The same names popping up in Star Wars, Aliens, Terminator, Starcraft, etc.
