The adaptable duo of BioWare and Dark Horse

lol. i wrote scent instead of scene.--smack--

@TheWarscent -What?

@ShadowofSonic When i saw the arrest scent for the first time i felt sick to my stomach and wanted to leave the theater,but sat and watched the rest like a lil @$#%. George needed a top level SW fan to follow him around and smack him in the head with a stick when he came up with a stupid idea.

On the whole Star Wars discussion, I just want to say that even though the prequels had conspicuous flaws, the setting had a lot of potential that could be (and eventually was) further explored in the expanded universe. That said, the only one of the prequel films that came close to capturing the quality of the original films would be Revenge of the Sith. Sure it had some dumb moments, but the others had plenty too! (Ewoks defeating the empire and Boba's ridiculous demise to name a few) Over all, I enjoyed all the movies for what they were, and didn't really look for reasons to complain while watching.

@ShadowofSonic: Well, there ya go.

@June-GS It was ok for the first 4 or 5 episodes,but I lost interest.FAST.

@ShadowofSonic: Yeah, I hear ya. What you're tryin' to say--which is what I'm explicitly saying now--is that taken as a whole, they're still okay. Which is why--despite the flaws--I never said I hated the three prequels. I guess the more accurate word would be "disappointed." Speaking of disappointments, I know I already ribbed the animated series earlier, but seriously, what were they thinking? It's the first Star Wars series in ANY Star Wars media that I literally stopped supporting halfway! Simply because I couldn't take it any more. For someone who makes it a point not to quit on anythin' until the very end (e.g. Lost), trust me, that's sayin' a lot! LOL

@June-GS @Snaptrap I do agree that the latest three had some WTF moments but still. I disliked how the third movie (Return of the Jedi) It felt like you were re-watching parts of the first movie (4) with yet another DeathStar.

@Snaptrap: I totally agree. Thank you for being a fair fan like me. This is comin' from someone who'd read practically EVERY novel and comic book about the battle-hardened veteran Jedi Masters--including Windu--who attempted the apprehension of Sidious. Knowing what I know about these characters--including Palpatine and Anakin themselves, the way the "arrest team" died was simply ludicrous. Not dissimilar to you @Snaptrap, whenever I see or watch that scene, I still cringe and quietly utter a "WTF". This is not a beat-down on Lucas, I love the man and always will. But after this and watchin' that interview where he mentioned how PROUD he was of one of his last masterpieces before he retires, that is, the newest animated series... sigh.

@ShadowofSonic Because too many of the segments were unrealistically created to convenience the story. For example Sidious killing 3 Jedi in a matter of seconds. Every time I watch that scene I think to myself how they ever made master. Agen Kolar was struck down with his back turned to Sidious. Last I remembered you're suppose to be facing your attacker. Then Saesee Tiin was just standing there like he was posing for Jedi Monthly magazine. Also if the Jedi were so concerned about Anakin don't you think they would be watching him more carefully instead of allowing him to do whatever. I can name dozens of inconsistencies within new trilogy. I'm not saying the original is not without it's own but with Lucas directing, they definitely did not reach the potential that Kershner set with Empire Strikes Back. You'd have to be an nonobjective fan not to see how poorly scripted the latest films are.

I disliked The Star Wars Holiday Special and Jar Jar Binks as well. What was wrong with the newer three? They tied the story together quite well.

@ShadowofSonic Yeah if you like The Star Wars Holiday Special and Jar Jar Binks. Worst pieces of science fiction history.

@Snaptrap And the newer 3.

@ShadowofSonic That was true with the original trilogy.

Looks like a very interesting game that is coming.

@Snaptrap I mean the quaitity of the movies.

@ShadowofSonic Everything eventually gets tired, and then it gets rebooted with added nudity. Star Wars: Revenge of the Nerds.

Star Wars will never die.

@ioannisdenton, as I didn't particularly enjoy the first iteration of the series I HAVE in fact discarded all concern or care for it and any of it's needless spinoffs or cliched gimmicks. Just stating an opinion likely to be as flawed as yours is in mine own eyes, and when a single episode of star trek the next generation has more redeeming qualities, better dialouge, acting, and plot devices than a 10+ hour game designed by people renowned for great story telling, I by my standards would call that Mediocre. Didn't mean to offend anyone's sensibilities or prod anyone of their insecurities in their choice of games, just stating my amazement that a product I find lacking in every conceivable aspect is receiving treatment and indoctrination into a medium I find particularly enjoyable.

The Mass Effect comics were quite good.

Dark Horse is a Goerge Harrison (Think Beetles) original from years gone by.....

EA bought Bioware and DA2's quality went down hill soon after. But isn't that what EA did in the last twenty years?

I enjoyed the mass effect comics. They fill in some of the questions that most people ask when they aren't answered in the games.

The Mass Effect games is imo some of the best zhizwitz the game industry managed to come up with in a long time. :)

@Hatemachine25. No mass effect games ARE nOT mediocre , if you do not like it do not play it, Dragoan age 2 is mediocre i bought and i wish i could delete my trophies. it is that bad.

Mass effect comics!? was this really needed? was ANYONE clamoring for this?, the games are mediocre at BEST and it's supposed to entertain for HOURS, comics are little bundles of fun wrapped in a velour of awesome with sprinkles of complex interactions. IE Preacher, V for Vendetta, JTHM, and the immortal and loveable Squee. One man's opinion though.

i do not usually read comics but i think i will try getting into it by reading mass effect

I enjoyed Redemption and Evolution, they give some insight of what some characters were doing before Mass Effect 2.

I hear the mass effect comics suck but I think I'll pick some up anyway. Anyone like them ?
