Because they are overhauling all the gripes of the old game and continuing the best story of this gen, so AAA. It has it locked down on PC for sure.

Mass Effect flopped because of a poorly written review. Funny how only minor improvements are made to the PC version and it scores AAA.

I think the Mako's turret can move up or down now so it should be good now.

If they fix the technical problems like the PC version which got AAA did, then yes.

This could very well be a AAA game. I don't doubt it'll continue the AAA on PC (version i'm picking up :P )

it only "flopped" because of the tech issues, and even then it STILL got an 8.5, They wont make the same mistake, simply because they know the hardware better.

To say Mass Effect flopped is just retarded!

Nah, it did flop but what needs to be pointed out is that just because a game flops does not mean it's bad. Some are freaking fantastic.

Yes, exactly.

Flop is a harsh word, all it means is it failed to live up to the hype, that by no means says it's bad.

Didn't flop, it was a great game. I played it on both PC and 360, and well, driving the mako was better on the 360 and the shooting on 3rd person mode was better on PC. I'd play the second one on either PC or console tho... as long as its on an MS OS with KB&M or 360 controller.. i jsu cant play anything on that crappy ps3 controller design.

As long as they don't rush it like the first and take time to polish the game, then I believe it will score AAA.

Thats not what he meant. He was stating the 1st KZ flopped but the second one came out good. He is pretty much say the same thing can happen with Mass Effect 2. Also Mass Effect one wasn't even a bad game it had a few tech issue but it was still playable.

wiionlygamer

Ok I just had to address this post, because clearly you haven't actually watched any trailers for mass effect 2 yet.

Anyway it got a 9.0 on PC, and imo was criminally underrated on the 360 anyway, so I have very high hopes that the sequel is also AAA quality. It's not like it missed the mark by a million miles either, I was much more surprised by KZ2 AAA than I would be by ME2 AAA.

Agreed. Nearly three 40 hour runs for me. Even 15 times through Dead Rising is only 90 hours. Mass Effect was just so good. I just wish the planetary exploration was more detailed and more of a primary element. Many people would disagree, but I loved driving around in the Mako jumping dunes and driving off cliffs.

If Mass Effect is considered a flop, I hope every single game that comes out for the rest of this gen flops just as hard, because Mass Effect is ****ing awesome.
