Well the US government, but I don't own a PS3 and I am skeptical of 256 players support on a console game. Still if there is not much lag then I say Zipper entertainment deserves praise, but once people start finding glitches, cheats, lag switches, etc. then it's going to decay like any other shooter. It's not that I hate the PS3, it's just that, I started with a wii, got bored of it and invested in an XBOX 360 (probably the worst name for a console ever) and I'm having a lot of fun with it, plus most of my friends own one so I didn't want to get a PS3 if I didn't have friends to play online with. The biggest problem is the economy itself, while it may be 300$ for a PS3, there is still going to be a lot more costs just to get a bluetooth headset to talk in MAG, games at 60$ a piece and other things that may arise. Rather than spending all that money, I just buy more games as most are multi-platform nowadays. Heck, sometimes I wish one company had a game console monopoly just so that every game can be found on that console. Don't get me wrong, I love all consoles, I just hate spending money.
Mass Effect is no way more like a shooter. Shooters don't have as deep a story as Mass Effect has, there's no real customization in shooters like in Mass Effect, there is no side quests in shooters, there's no exploration in shooters. In short, Mass Effect is a Hybrid Shooter/RPG, not a pure shooter at all. I hate generic shooters, and if I grab a shooter, the only reason is because it's an RPG. I will never in my life buy a shooter game. a Hybrid Shooter/RPG is different WORLDS different than a shooter.

Sorry to vent, but when someone calls Mass Effect more of a shooter than an rpg i just have to say something. Considering I hate shooters.

Well mass effect 2 just seemed more like a shooter than the first one with the new thermal clips and the cover system that seems like it was based on Gears of War, but I think that's because I missed all the loot you could get in the first one and the RPG elements are a bit harder to notice for me in Mass Effect 2, so, no offense, but that's just my opinion.

The cover system was in mass effect 1 as well, as I've done it so many times in that game. so there is no gears reference to that. Looting has nothing to do with RPG, RPG is all about exploration/story which mass effect 2 has more of than shooting.

Well I'm just talking about the combat system, in terms of story then it is tailor made for RPG fans. Although I still like looting in RPGs, it gives me a sense that I'm getting some form of reward although the advancement of story is pretty much the incentive in Mass Effect 2.

@Maz

What's your opinion on VALVe? A company based on making shooters as ungeneric as possible?

Basically the same.. I am not a picky guy...but when it comes to shooters or sports, the only way to win me over is through rpg form. I love all types of gaming genre, EXCEPT those two. There just that feeling that all pure shooters have that i just don't like. It's still a pure shooter. And pure shooters play out the same to me.

When I say pure, I mean pure. Pure Shooters are L4D/2 Halo, COD. Portal isn't a pure shooter because it's a puzzle/shooter game.
