This popped up again?
Interesting analysis. Well thought out. Yeah disappointing in some respects. Oh well.
Meh.
You know where I'm at on this? It's funny it took this long to percolate to the top of my consciousness, but -
Remember Alien? Aliens? Fantastic movies both of them. Replayed a lot on Sci-Fi (back when they played sci-fi - but that's a whole different rant)
Who remembers or even has seen Alien 3? Anyone? If you did see it, did you watch it more than once? Yeah - I thought so. Me neither. "What thrid movie?" is many fans response. Sure, there was Alien Resurrection and the Alien Vs Predator series, but it was never the same. Just the shambling corpse of a franchise that was still being milked for money. You might have some visceral fun with them. But they're trash.
Mass Effect might have more products and entries in the series. But it's about as trashed as the Alien franchise. It's done. And I'm done with it.
Edit: Okay. Fair enough. I just thought I was doing everyone else a favor by asking to lock just this one thread, since it was borderline necroed and to be honest the premise is starting to sound petty to me now as well. But hey, you guys still want to talk about it, that's cool. Knock yourselves out.
