Ahh...Mass Effect...:D If it were not for Halo 3's release this year I would say this was my most anticipated science fiction game this year. It has amazing graphics (Bioware's games for their eras always do, KOTOR in 2003 had stunning visuals compared to some other games of that year) and I simply love the look of the conversation system, being able to intereupt NPC's whenever you want to and they can do the same to you, and given BioWare's past games (The excellent Knights of the Old Reblublic and Jade Empire) the story should be great too if they can live up to the hype they have behind them. It may be a bit different since BioWare isn't working with an already pretty well established science ficiton franchise this time unlike KOTOR (It was a Star Wars game, and the best to date too) I'm pretty certain they can pull it off.

Going to pre-order The Collector's Edition sometime (I'm a collector's edition buff, LOL!) I don't know what's inside it, no website from what I can find says, I'll still pre-order it though

Anyone else interested in this?

ohh you have Assassins Creed on the same day. I dont know what to get? Like if I save my lunch money from now I could get both :cool:

[midna1]

So did anyone get Mass Effect. It looks amazing. I couldnt afford it this week. But maybe after christmas :cool: .

Like I heard you have new story-telling

[Spartan]

I got it. The graphics and dialouge are by far the best I've seen on the 360. But I have to finish the rest of the game to judge it.

[FeralKitty]

It's a shooter, masquerading as a RPG! Boo, boo! :D

I don't think the graphics are anything to write home about, but the dialog seems to be quite good.

Honestly, I thought Assassin's Creed looked better and was more fun, but I expect Mass Effect will be a much longer game, since it has so many optional missions.

[Spartan]

Say what!? I didn't play Assassin's Creed, but I think the graphics are great. Have you turned off the "Film Grain" and "Motion Blur" in the Graphics menu?

You spoiled PC gamers! :p

[FeralKitty]

I didn't think to check the graphics options, but changing them does make a difference. Thanks for pointing that out.

[andmill11]

Mass effect = non-deserving of a 10

[Spartan]

Niether does BioShock, but play the game before you judge it. ;)

[andmill11]

Dont even get me STARTED on bioshock. Its really not that good :( (i have played mass effect well been playing mass effect)

YOU CANT SEE YOUR FEET!!!!

[Spartan]

I don't care if you can't see your feet, but seriously, a game needs replay value and/or multiplayer to get a 10.

[midna1]

It is quite hard to compare next-gen games out of 10. Like they are all bespoke. But I really enjoy playing them. :D

[andmill11]

Neither of which bioshock had ^ point taken.

Kind of weird spoilers to mass effect below.

Oh and in mass effect you um "make nice" with a "gender-problematic" blue alien. Its weird. I didnt even want to either, i just sacrificed the wrong person. Game went downhill pretty fast IMO worth about an 8.5 same with bioshock

[midna1]

ok, I tried mass effect at my friends house. I was travelling around the citadel to scan the keepers. So I scanned 5 keepers:cool: . But I dont know what they had in the backpacks. Then I met Wrex at the spaceport. I felt quite sad for what the Turions did to the Krogans :( .

[FeralKitty]

So I scanned 5 keepers:cool: . But I dont know what they had in the backpacks.

A thermos of soup, and a sandwich.

[midna1]

ok, I heard everyone got out of control in the Mako car. But I found new tactics. So:

1. dont reverse
2. you speed up AND direct on L-stick. So I did a quick a u-turn with the 360 on L-stick. And zoom towards the camera :cool:.
3. Dont get too close. Then sideways on. Like it is backward or forward to dodge. Or with the mini-booster :D .

I hope it helps :oops:

[SourTamer101]

is mass effect a good game im thinking of buying

[ProGamer1]

my brother says mass effect is a awsome game any 1 that need a game that would be it!

[midna1]

ok, I was on my favourite snow moon Antibaar. I found the moon in Armstrong Nebula/ Tereshkova system :cool: . It is like a big milkshake. You could live on the moon and scoop the special snow. For a Walls mini-milk ice-creme :D

So what is your favourite moon

[piercechrist]

I recentley sold my copy of mass effect before they made the whole
Save your char for ME2 and before the bringing down the sky expansion.
So im asking is the expansion any good
like worth buying it back
btw my char was lvl 60
xD

[HunterKiller 232]

400 ms (bout£3.00) + used copy = £30.00 so to answer: no not really. but it is a good expansion and u can get a 50GPs for completeing it

[piercechrist]

was it any good?
did it seem worth the whole 400pts
