Here is the Genesis comic for ME3.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lhO_AV_ph18 and http://masseffect.wikia.com/wiki/Mass_Effect:_Genesis_2 Absolutely atrocious, especially in regards to ME2....first off, none of the loyalty missions are explored, especially Tali, Legion, and Mordin's...which have impacts in ME3. So, its unknown how the Rannoch and Tuchanka arcs will play out in whether Eve survives. And another ball busting aspect...you cannot have everyone survive ME2.....either you have your noncombat crew die like the Engineers and Kelly (don't know if Chakwas dies) or have Thane, Jack, Samara, Legion, and Grunt die...and unknown on Kasumi and Zaeed. Also, it seems you are limited in ME2 romances to Tali for males and Garrus for females. So basically, the 360, PC, and the PS3 take into account far more variables. Not only that, Leviathan and Omega are not coming to the WiiU, a huge blow, and Retaliation multiplayer pack isn't on there as well. Very terrible decision by EA to release this at WiiU launch and not even releasing the entire trilogy, while not even supporting it with DLC, while having a haphazard comic that fails to grasp much of ME2. Avoid at all costs.

It would be a worse decision to pour more money into it.

You realise nobody is going to buy this, right? Nintendo obviously forked over a considerable sum though. No way EA would have funded development of a title for a console with a relatively tiny install base with the wrong demographic.

This game being available is basically a formality.

Needs that Mass Effect collection. Do it properly.

Would this endeavour be sufficiently financially lucrative?

Out of all the wiiu launch games that are well received, this one is by far the least appealing imo.

Its a quick buck game at its fullest. They only bring out the last in the series (arguably the worst as well for some) with the worst option at the beginning since the suicide mission good outcome doesn't exist.

Its actually pretty shameful imo. They could have done the trilogy version instead for the launch. It really shouldn't have been that hard really and shouldn't need so much time.

Overall I never liked ea's business practices. Great games usually but definitely shows at times that they were bit by the big company malpractice bug.

You're right. You post just made me come to the realization that I didn't enjoy my time with the three games on the Xbox.

I must have been tricked.

Yeah, I played those "unique" ports back when I owned a Wii. The Godfather: Blackhand Edition, for example.

Eh, I played the series off that download service called the ea download manager.

Then I had to switch to that crappy origin one for me3.

Its best on PC but at least you don't have to have to log into more crap :P.

Windows live... Eesh.

Oh sry bout that I was just showing disdain for most of those download services haha. Windows live is pretty restrictive and fairly obtrusive.

Actually I guess you wouldn't call gfwl a download service but is an account hooked to purchases that I would otherwise want to avoid.

What, you mean to say that it's no good jumping into a game trilogy on the last game? Shocking! :shock:

And here I was, thinking that the PS3 Genesis comic for ME2 was horrible. This goes beyond that in so many ways. What the hell were they thinking? This is going to take away most of the replayability of the SP campaign by greatly reducing the ways that the story can branch in. It's like they're punishing those who're buying the Wii U version.

That's not what it means at all. Even if someone has played the other two games on a different platform, this is still the worst version to get. In fact, it'll be worse.

Yeah it utterly ruins Mass Effect unless you play thru the trilogy and see your character and choices evolve thru all 3 games.

Makes no sense that EA wouldn't just release the trilogy package with the Wii U since it just came out also.. It doesn't matter to me at this point however. PC version is by far the best.

Yeah, EA likely figures the sales just won't be there on this late version but I do think there's probably many Nintendo only gamers who never played a ME and will appreciate this one.

Oh and, unlike say 360's, not all PC's are created equal and my PC would choke trying to get the title screen up so 360 wins for me. :P

I'd much rather wait for the Trilogy pack, even if it means taking a year or two longer.

Who in their right mind would start off with ME3 on wii-u($60), when EA released a collection of all three games for the same price else where?

I agree with TC what's the point of releasing this on Wii U if doesn't come with the full triology and then missing DLC on ME3. Might as well just get the triology on PS3/PC/360.

Like the plethora of Zombi U topics, this is another for the Wi U sticky.
