Mass Effect a copy cat of Halo? That's quite a strange, and unfounded comment.

It rips it off because you can shoot? Hmm, then wouldn't Halo be a rip off of any game that used guns before it? It rips the sci-fi theme from Halo? Umm, Halo was not the first game to use a sci-fi theme.

Using your logic, it's safe to assume that you believe Halo ripped everything off that came before it that had guns and/or a sci-fi theme?

Just because a game uses guns or a sci-fi theme doesn't mean it's trying to rip from something else. Halo is a FPS, where as Mass Effect is an RPG that uses guns for it's combat. They aren't even close to being in the same genre. You are very much entitled to your opinion, but I don't see anything to your comments.

Yes, Halo is the original Scifi shooter. Everything else are just mere imitations. Halo is a divine creation given to us humans from almighty God himself. It is so original, so good, so creative, that nothing else can even hope to surpass its pure awesomeness.

I'm sorry you feel that way about gaming. It's too bad really. Mass Effect is probably going to "update" the way people look at games with conversations and battle tactics.

yes, it copies halo in several ways.

1) It is a video game for the Xbox 360 home entertainment system.

2) It is set in a sci-fi world where you interact with characters and environments.

The similarities end there.

I agree, but suspending someone for telling someone to be dumb would be wrong, becouse he clearly havent seen anything about that game. He need to check out the game before making threds like this, and have alot of arguments about why Mass effect is a rip of Halo game. (Something that it is not)

as stated before, you sir, are a friggin idiot. yes you brought this upon yourself. look, HALO is far from original both in gameplay and story. And if you dare say Bioware's title is a copycat ever again, i will personally sticky-grenade your face.

wow, it's nothing like halo, nothing will ever come close to being as good as halo. Maybe call of duty 4, but it will eventually admit defeat and bow down to the halo gods.

EXACTLY! WTF is wrong with ppl that play RPGs?! What makes people who play shooter so much better!?

O... I forget to mention Halo is NOTHING like Mass Effect. If ME is a Halo copycat just because it's a shooter than they might as well call the genre "Halo and all the other copycats". People that say games copy each other most of the time r just freakin idiots... and u r too... I'm sorry but it's the truth.

I want to explicitly announce your idiocy but I don't want to get banned.

Anyway, you obviously have no idea what you're talking about.

So then Halo is just a copy cat of Doom right? I mean the whole shooter sci fi thing. GOSH, I played Doom before I played Halo. Freakin' rip off artists right?

And Doom? They just ripped off pong, I mean the whole video game thing? Video games have been done before. Freaking copy cats.
