I'll admit, I'd have preferred more games in the Mass Effect Milky Way. But I loved Andromeda, so I'll buy the sequel.

And I'm an Xbox guy, so between the original J&D, R&C, the original SOCOM, and the NCAA Baseball game, I'll be seeking a PS2 even though most of those have been remade all to hell. Shame NCAA Baseball never will be.

Always fun to find someone with similar gameplaying taste lol. The Milky Way would be awesome, a kind of 50-100 years forward type game with an older Liara and Wrex or Shepherd's son/daughter mentee...but with the divergent path ending of ME3, which I still don't have any issue with (but I guess being a fan of anime in my youth made me alright with bittersweet endings), it would be damn near impossible to do a post game without alienating a large portion of your player base, or creating a Fire Emblem style 3-play game, which would be a boondoggle in a AAA type game. Prequel in the Krogan Rebellions or Rachni War would be cool, but then you're removing the humans from the equation, which would inherently make it less playable for most people.

I was just talking about SOCOM with a younger cousin who didn't believe me that there were online games before CoD lol. That game was revolutionary if a little clunky (the third person perspective was a little tough). The games I'll always find myself coming back to every few years or so are FE Path of Radiance, Mega Man X, ME Trilogy (probably going to start my 4th playthrough here once I've completely digested ME:A), Kingdom Hearts (really wouldn't mind KH3 coming out before I retire...), The Witcher series, and The Uncharted Series. Just got an XBoxOne with the Master Chief collection, so I'm excited to check that out again...used to play tye original in HS and Halo 2 with my senior roommate in college, but didn't play the stories since I didn't own an XBox console. I love having plenty of disposable income, a fiance with a similar taste in video games (met since we were both soccer players way back in the day at UC) and no children yet.

SOCOM, Full Spectrum Warrior, and Men of Valor are all combat games that deserve modern remakes.

And you'll LOVE the MC Collection. Halo distilled. It's a thing of beauty. And the Halo 2 revamp is amazing.

As for another Mass Effect game, the human Corsairs would make a great game premise. There's plenty of stuff to explore pre-reapers...

Good call on the Corsairs...They could easily do the first contact war too, although the comics have kind of made that seem a little less significant than what was originally referenced in ME1

I love the upscale button on the original Halo, already pretty crazy to see the work that the redevelopment team did.
