Too Much Mass Effect 2 In Our Bombcast?

You can never have too much Mass Effect 2, in any medium.

They've done the same thing over the last I don' know how long for other releases as well. Its not really a big deal.

We had to put up with at least half an hour of rhythm games dicussion every podcast for the last year, at least ME2 is interesting.

I listened to all the Modern Warfare 2 and Fallout 3 talk even though I hate those games. So yeah, stop whining.

 No. 
 
These recent complaint threads are so ridiculous.    x2

Personally I want to hear more about Global Agenda.  That game has quality written all over it, and is a brand new release!  Moar Global Agenda pls. 
 
But for reallys: ME2 is the first time in a while everyone around the Bombcast table has been playing the exact same thing in the same week right around the launch of the title.  And it so happens that the other stuff they're playing (STO and AVP) are also SPACE games and help draw parallels back what they probably consider the better of the space titles that they played this week.  Given the stuff they could be talking about (Bayonetta, MAG, Dark Void Siders, maybe No More Heroes, army of two?) I'd rather be playing and talking about ME2 as well.  I specifically listen to the Bombcast because it's less structured than others, you get more off the cuff and spontaneous discussion, which means they talk about what they're playing.   I'd love to hear the No More Heroes talk for the week.  "Uh, none of us played it, it looks kinda spiffy, lets fill 10 minutes with this"
 
For me, there is not nearly enough Bombcast in my Mass Effect, and this needs to be rectified.  "Im Commander Shepard, and this is my favorite Podcast on the Citadel"

You can't see it, but I'm high-fiving you. "

How dare they talk about the biggest release for 2010 thus far!

" There's really no interesting games out until late february and march and mass effect 2 is pretty popular right now. "

A podcast that talks about how awesome ME:2 is for three weeks in a row isn't telling me anything I'm not already aware of.

 I've stopped listening to all gaming Podcasts for the time being due to ME:2 oversaturation.

That's understandable . . . BUT:

I think we have a bingo. "

Yeah, he's right. However we look at it it's a big compliment to Mass Effect 2. It's actually quite awesome how much it spurs conversation and makes gamers want to talk about it in lenghts. The recent game I can remember doing that must have been Grand Theft Auto 4 and mabey Metal Gear Solid 4. It was kind of the same. People went totally nuts and we heard about these games for many week and the podcasters had a very hard time to not start talking about important spoilerwarning stuff. 
 
As I said... it's a compliment to the game.

" @BrokenCage: I'm saying I think you've conjured up the solution your own problem.   This situation happens, where a massive game in a dead-spot of the year gets a ton of coverage. It's an inevitability. And there's nothing wrong with it, really, even though there are those who'd try to label this as favoritism or journalistic bias.  You stop listening to the Bombcast for a while--or any gaming podcast--and everyone gets what they want, really. You don't have to deal with all the coverage, the people who want the coverage get the coverage, and we all go about our merry ways. It stinks for you a bit, because you have to isolate yourself from the podcasts you enjoy, but if the coverage of a single video game is as dramatically grating as everyone is making it out to be, then it's a necessary venture. "

" No.  These recent complaint threads are so ridiculous. "

This is not the first time that a game has been released, and they go crazy on Bombcast discussions for it. When GTA IV came out, that's all they talked about. I also remember a fair amount of Metal Gear Solid 4 talk, as well. It's very rare that a high profile game like this comes out, and all of the staff plays it and universally love it, and with such a story based game like Mass Effect, you'll have experiences that you want to share with people who might have played it a different way.
 
When Dragon Age came out, they didn't do a ton of discussions, because most of the staff hadn't played it. Sure, I think Brad still hasn't played it.
   
I still find the discussions interesting and entertaining.

My thoughts exactly. I think a lot of people are complaining because they don't have the game, or don't have a system they can play it on. Therefore they feel left out. "

Bullshit. If anything, there wasn't enough Mass Effect 2.
 
If it was your favourite game, you would be singing a different tune. Mass Effect 2 is one of the best games of all time, and is most likely going to be GOTY. I don't get where all these haters are coming from, but I guess they are just Sony fanboys in disguise, or even Japanopihles/otakus who are angry that there is a game that progresses the genre rather than staying stagnant.
 
If Mass Effect 2 came out last year, it would be GOTY. It is about time that an amazing Bioware game gets the attention it deserves instead of rehashed JRPGs.
 
Dragon Age and Mass Effect > Japanese Role playing Crap.

" @Brendan said:

" Ryan asked at the beginning of the podcast what they were all playing.  They were only playing Mass Effect 2.  Therefore, they will talk about Mass Effect 2 in the section talking about the games they are currently playing.     "

This. This is called logic. I like this. "

It's the only big game outright now besides MAG, and the probable GOTY winner so, no it's perfectly fine.

Not enough dude....
 
Anyone who thinks otherwise obviously hasn't played it. You can fucking skip through it if you don't want to hear it
 
Seriously this site is full of people complaining about ME2 who have NEVER PLAYED IT. Fail trolling...

" No.  These recent complaint threads are so ridiculous. "

Do you want them to talk about MAG instead?

That segment is about what games they have been playing.  Turns out they had all been playing Mass Effect 2.

id say yea theirs too much mass effect talk atm for me but thats because just about every single podcast is like that now but i think by next week it will pass.. hopefully.. 

Nope It's fine they do it with every big game release. Plus there wasn't anything going on at the time.

There can never be too much Mass Effect 2. Ever.

" I have no doubt that ME:2 is a fantastic game, and I cannot wait to play it. But one podcast about a game is enough, they have now had three and will most likely have another.  "

I would like to hear more talk on Mass Effect.

Not. Enough. Mass Effect 2. Talk.
 
Let me translate what the OP said:
"My favorite game isn't being talked about a lot, so I will complain about the other game."
 
You obviously haven't played Mass Effect 2 if you think that there was too much of it on the podcast.
 
The game is EPIC! I can't wait until the Mass Effect 2 onlycast.

There is no such thing as too much Mass Effect 2.

If they have been playing Mass Effect, then they are going to talk about Mass Effect. Would you like them to pretend they played other games for you?

Now that we've gotten a little hindsight, I think I'm certainly ready to call ME2 one of the most important games of this generation, on par with GTA3 (people seem to forget how glitchy that game was when it gets brought up these days) in terms of influence. Not because of the incredible narrative, which it has don't get me wrong, but because of something I was surprised not to see brought up: it's the perfect marriage of action and RPG. The RPG part got all the fat trimmed off so there's no tedious inventory management, and in its place we get higher impact, more visceral action. Is it perfect? No, but it doesn't have to be to be important. It's got shooter mechanics with an RPG plot. That's incredible.

I played through Mass Effect 2 and it is a very good game, and it is released in a time when nothing else of note is coming out. That being said people saying it is "THE GREATEST GAME EVAR LULZ" are exaggerating a bit, it's great prolly goty material, atleast a solid contender tho.

I mean They talked about Street fighter 4 for waaaaaaaaay longer than ME 2 and that was not as good many would argue and it is a much more niche product compared to ME 2.
