Mass Effect gets November 20 release date photo

Despite their animators obviously having to go back to the drawing board (I joke!), Microsoft and BioWare have officially announced the release date for their upcoming action role-playing Xbox 360 title, Mass Effect. Mark in on your calendar, and prepare your Thanksgiving meals accordingly -- the game will hit shelves on November 20.

We've said quite a few things about Mass Effect here at Destructoid -- most good, some bad. But you should find yourselves hard pressed not to be excited about this game. BioWare have (for the most part) consistently delivered solid experiences, but in gameplay and narrative -- why would Mass Effect be any different?

The game will retail for $59.99, and is rated "M" for Mass Effect.

I have no enthusiasm about this game whatsoever. It's just not something I look at and go "Oh wow, this is gonna be GOOOOOD!".

This game will flop, you heard it HERE first folks!

I imagine that mainly KOTOR fans will be excited about Mass Effect. For all the sexy, slightly wooden graphical prowess it demonstrates, I shall pick this up in the hope that Bioware can still tell an intruiging, compelling story.

I doubt it will flop, I can see it being something of a hit, but it's certainly not for everyone if it's anything like their previous efforts. It has the potential to be a brilliant trilogy, I just hope that Bioware modernise their mechanics quite a bit.

Do want!

I am still intrigued by this game. Definitely a rental, at least. I'll wait for the reviews, though.

@ Neonie
I can't believe how wrong you are. Bioware has done nothing but make hit games: MDK2, Baldur's Gate, Neverwinter Nights, KotOR, Jade Empire. A game made by this developer with this much hype (it even has a prequel novel) has no chance of failing.

This game will not flop, you heard it HERE first folks!

I will not deny this. I've been wrong before.

I'm getting it no matter how "wooden" the face animations.

Neonie, that is definitely not the first place I'd heard that.. but i do have to agree with ArrestedDeveloper... his avatar represents the funniest few minutes of television in history.

They always say when it will be released in America, but not in the UK.

I want to know when I can get my sweaty hands on Mass Effect!

Neonie, I don't know what you're smoking but you couldn't be farther from the truth.

It won't flop. I'll call it and say it'll sell about 1 million.

I'm going to put it all on the line and straight-up predict that this game will flop. Don't get me wrong, I'm looking forward to it and I hope it's good, but I just have this gut feeling that it's going to have a ton of shortcomings... too many.
