Mass Effect Discussion

Well right now, both Mass Effect and Halo 3 have only two topics on the front page. It's not that either game is better and deserves more topics, it's that I'm trying to reduce clutter so that the whole entire page isn't dominated by one or two games. Mass Effect's release date falls under Mass Effect discussion, since talking about when it comes out will inevitably lead to talking about the game, which is discussion. :)
 
Re: Mass Effect review.

So? 8.5 is still a really good score. There's a lot of low 9's out there too.


Note: I haven't read that review, cause I'm too lazy and I've got a lot of crap going on right now.
 
Re: Mass Effect review.

I'm sure everyone here is expecting me, of all people to freak, but Gamespot gives everything really low scores. Plus, every other critic out there freaking loved it.

EDIT: Here's Mass Effect's Gamerankings page, in case everyone's wondering what the other reviewers gave it: http://www.gamerankings.com/htmlpages2/930279.asp
 
Re: Mass Effect review.

Its ok, the 15 that Play gave it will probably give it will even it out.
 
Re: Mass Effect review.

And? Pretty much everyone already wants it, and an 8.5 is really solid.

Drop GH 3, if you're getting Rock Band.

And Mass Effect is really more of an action RPG. The combat can be more akin to that of a shooter (although I hope to hell they left an interface like Kotor's, where if you want to, you can pause and plan out your attacks).
 
Re: Mass Effect review.

GHIII has Devil Went Down to Georgia, man.

But why get GH III, if Rock Band has the same guitar features as GH III?

It doesnt, they say the guitar portion of rock band is the weakest part of the entire game
 
Mass Effect, first impressions.

Well, UPS FINALLY delivered my Mass Effect LE about 2 hours ago, and I haven't but down the controller since. :D

I've just landed on Citadel Station, which is perhaps the most beautiful, breathtaking site I've ever seen in a video game. The game, on a whole, is great so far. The combat is quite good, although it has its subtle nuances you have to get used to. I died quite a few times before I finally started to figure things out.

The storyline, voice acting, and dialog system are all absolutely top notch. Talking to NPC's and party members has never felt more real in a video game. The Mass Effect universe is filled to the brim with all kinds of races of different allegiances, and personalities, and it creates a completely complex storyline that's among the best I've ever seen.

In conclusion, GET THIS GAME!!!

P.S, Sorry for the shortness of this post, I have some more Mass Effect to play. :D
 
Re: Mass Effect, first impressions.

I told my mom that I want this game instead of Halo 3 for my Bday. :D This game has looked amazing from numerous videos and photos I've seen. :D
 
Re: Mass Effect, first impressions.

I'm off the Citadel, and I have to say they completely screwed up on exploring planets. 90% of them aren't even explorable, and the ones that are usually just have a couple of uninspired side quests. In fact, almost all the side-quests in the game are rather uninspired...ah well, at least the main story, and characters are excellent.

I'm pretty surprised at how hard the combat can be too. I'm dying pretty frequently...
 
Re: Mass Effect, first impressions.

Hmm.....perhaps the learning curve for this game isn't that short after all. I got the hang of combat pretty quickly. :-\
