BioWare Confirms Next Mass Effect Game In Early Stages Of Development

And now i shall compose an epic story of my excitement for these news:

...
...
...
*chirping crickets*
the end.

You misplaced that "end of nerd rage" there

To her defense one could say that what followed was a quite civilized rage.

I don't think nerd and civilized are opposites

Aside from the ending (which Bioware in my opinion remedied, for free mind you) I really don't understand all the hate levied at ME3. To me it was definitely in my top 10 of the year. Amazingly epic story, same cast of characters we came to know and love over the course of three games, many of whom's story arcs came to a satisfying close and, post Extended Cut, a satisfying end to an amazing trilogy. I really don't get it: is it the combat (which to me felt like a fairly natural, and solid, progression from the first's lackluster attempt at 3rd person cover based shooting)? Is it the storytelling (can't see why)? The opening day bugs (facial import feature I totally understand, but I was able to recreate a suitable look alike and move on, but it did piss me off)? I don't get it.

Thank you! The DLC endings were just fine and all the whining fanboys just need to shut up. It drives me NUTS when I hear phrases or remarks about the ending. BioWare admitted their mistake, they fixed it for FREE, and apologized. But the fanboys just cry, "But it's still on the disc! They still made a bad ending!" Just shut up.

Could'nt have said it better myself.

Im going to be a spoiler dick and say hey look at the bright side. If you destroyed all synthetics Commander Shepard could be in the next game :)

It's funny, because if he said nothing I bet people would ***** he didn't ask them what they wanted.

ah well, damned if they do, damned if they don't.

Speaking as someone who enjoyed mass effect 3 and was overjoyed they added a FREE dlc that fixed the ending (that didn't bothered me much, journey>destination ), i am super excited about this news!

Now we know it won't be about Sheppard no more... Will it even star a human protagonist?

Agreed, I had a blast with all 3 ME games and I didn't see what the huge deal was with the ending. I think if anything he asked "us" what we want as in "WELL DON'T FUCKING COMPLAIN IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT THEN" if they don't get any feedback.

Happy to see ME(4) whether its a sequel prequel or new saga entirely.

I want more space Bono.

I wonder what colors we'll get in the games ending

I call dibs on hot pink!

Cool but I want purple, cause its so much bossness.

Green all the way.

One story, one game. That is what I want.

Honestly I keep wondering if I got screwed on ME3 based on my ME1 and ME2 paragon tendencies. The whole time I was playing, everything was all sunshine and rainbows thanks to my actions in the previous games, right up to the part where everyone died.

Mass Effect 3 = Most played game in 2012 for me so there! I was skeptical about the multiplayer but if they build on that plus the solid singleplayer campaign I am good. Looking forward to see how they expand on the multiplayer. Sidenote: were PS3 owners less pissed about the ending as we never got to play the 1st one? The ending seemed fine to me but to each his/her own opinion.

The doctors have left. I have no faith in EA alone.

I think not having Shepard is actually a plus, they can start with a fresh slate in terms of characters. Bioware should take a page out of their own book and do what they did with Dragon Age: Origins, have about 5, 6 different species with their own backstory\history and each one have their own opening, that would be pretty cool I think.

Sorry for the double up
