I wanted a poll to measure results...


I say sequel; With a prequel, you ALREADY know what happens, which defeats the whole wonder of what's next, as they need to stay in the confines of pre-established lore.
And, with a sequel, they're practically unbound to think of whatever they want.
Prequel would be milking the series EVEN FURTHER IMO.

Mass Effect 4 implies it would be a sequel.

alternate universe

what if the beacon on eden prime showed the vision to your companion instead of you?

what if Cerberus failed to Resurrect shepard?

what if the reapers really didn't exist?

Sequel where you can choose your race as well as your class. I want to be a Krogan Adept.

Sequel. Would be interesting to see what they do post-ME3

I had a very similar thing, only I threw a 14 story building out of a pool and hit a kid on a paper aeroplane.


The Flood is just this awesome :D

I don't know how you can make a sequel when most choices are game-changing, especially the ME3 ending. This would take years to tie up every loose end and not make a plothole.

No point in putting something funny, clever or informative here. Most probably im going to get perma-banned anyway.

I would love for it to be a sequel. But i think its a safer bet to just make it a prequel and its probably heading that way.

Mreh.



Yes I want it to be sequel, the time period after the Reapers would be pretty turbulent and volatile I'd guess.

He threw down a glove you made the mistake
Of picking it up now you're gone
The choosing of guns or fighting with swords
The choice of weapons is done
He'll tear you apart as soon as you start
You know you don't have a chance.

ME3 remake.

Some cool things they could do with the prequel is having some cameos of your squadmates before they became your squadmates. Like having a run-in with Garrus during the First Contact War (although I don't know if he even fought in it).

Although I'd prefer a sequel.

How about a prequel ME game AND a sequel ME game.

  • 12.09.2012 11:08 AM PDT

if that is its name, it should definitely be a sequel.

I also want to see what happens next.

  • 12.09.2012 11:09 AM PDT

There was a feather in the chicken. It wasn't even a white feather, it was a black feather.

Where's the option for 'I don't want a ME4'?

The Internet is an empowerment tool that's agnostic; it doesn't care about race, gender, or age.

Pass the controller bro

Sequel. Prequels are retarded.

All the world's for living when love is what you find
Despair and loneliness you've got to leave them far behind
Tell the clouds to go let the feeling show
It's great when life is full of living

The only thing I can see being done with a prequel is one of the early races other than the Protheans fighting the reapers. Interesting possibility, but I would suspect it to be rather bland given the restrictions on the outcome.

Drell are cooler than Krogan.

The atmosphere alone can kill a Drell. Atmosphere made the Krogan the Krogan.
