Simply put, I f*cking love it.

It's a lot like playing through a sexy, sexy version of KOTOR. In fact, it's like playing KOTOR while getting a hand-job from an Asian sex worker.

Awesome graphics, awesome game play, and a bunch of the achievements unlock bonuses for future play throughs.

Yep heard nothing but good things about it.. i hope it comes out for the PC soon...

Quick question: I know you can drive the APC thing, but can you fly the ship, or is it like in KotOR?

[Mr. Sticks]

It's like KotOR, but picking a destination is a lot cooler. You open up a galaxy map and can travel to a TON of different planets. Sure, most are barren and just there for exploration, but its still cool they were included. But you can travel between galaxies, solar systems, and planets, its great.

ok, two complaints. load screens at inopportune times and mother f*cking npc friendlies not following orders/blocking/hitting you with biotics.

not so much the former, but the fact that to get someone to "take cover" you have to lead them to a wall... either that or "take cover" means f*cking stand directly in the open 2-3 feet from the nearest conveniently body sized object in alien speakz. not to mention the f*ckers throwing a "wall/shield" directly in your line of fire, lifting/throwing you or hurling singularities into your back.

also, a lot of skills/talents become utterly f*cking pointless after unlocking others or just outright because it's less costly/more efficient to just put them in a different tree that's almost the same f*cking skill/talent without a damage or health modifier. (which I might say become almost completely f*cking useless themselves after dumping some points in certain areas and make you feel like a complete douche for using up valuable points on a skill/talent because you didn't f*cking know any better.)

I have to say that if you prefer combat to story, this game is probably NOT for you. The amount of dialogue in this thing is f*cking unbelievable.

But that's the good part. The dialogue, backstory, codex entries, all of this- it's some of the best, most well-crafted plot I've ever seen. I'm not the best person to judge combat, though at times the system does feel difficult to use, but the story is GODLY. If other games like Halo are books, Mass Effect is a ten-book series of novels. The galaxy and its story have an astonishing amount of backing, the civilizations and races have well-established histories, and the moral choice system is more developed than Bioshock's. Like Fable, the game promised to have every one of your actions effect the story. Unlike Fable, however, it delivers. Your starting class, your stating background and personality, all of these are nice little effects of customization. Then I started playing and discovered that the story WILL BE f*ckING DIFFERENT depending on what you choose there. It's madness. While there are only *counts on fingers* six levels involved in the main storyline (seven if you count the starting world that you don't get to return to), and not too many sidequests beyond that, the amount of exploration, revelation, and character development in between more than stretches the game out into a massive multi-day- perhaps multi-week- experience. Everything in this game is up to you and how you act to others. And it is a refreshing experience.

This game is f*cking hardcore.

Bonus talents = assault rifle speccing adepts.. Sexified.

oh man, I have to agree.. if there's one game you MUST own and you have a 360 than you have to own this (if it comes to PC and anything else and you have something that can run it, you HAVE to get it). It's fun beyond fun I say. Sure it has some down points but every game has some and this game just still excels.

My only hope is that EA doesn't f*ck it up now that they have taken the rights to the series and I think the company :|

Shotgun ftw, yeah this game is awesome, it isnt very long though...maybe their will be downloadable content on the marketplace...

Ive heard lots about it. I think its out on PS3 as well, right?
What type of game is it? I cannot recall.

Maybe it is one of the games worth getting, until MGS4, finally, comes out.

[Vicious]

it's not out on the PS3 yet but EA bought the rights to the game trilogy (yes two more are coming) and I think the entire company that made it. And since EA is the biggest wh*re of the video game world it'll prolly be on everything that can handle it soon enough lol.

[Vicious]

lol, being on the PS3 won't make it bad.. being in EA's hands will :(

[Vicious]

sorry to double post, but I figured I'd make 360 fanboys QQ with

hehe

[Novahawk]

Yeah, but its kind of 2008 now and there still doesn't seem to be anything hinting at a pc version... Man i want to play this game so bad i can't stand it, and i don't have a 360...

[youwerekilled]

great game... its gonna get a second playthrough soon

[Vicious]

I'm surprised it's ONLY coming on PC :P considering EA got their hands on the company and they wh*re out every game for every system they can.
