It's actually pretty cool. I dig it, so far.

I think demi was the only one that hated it, and that was probably only because it had bad achievements or something, like Orange Box.

it's good but unfinished.

1- pretty bad optimization, tearing, texture pop-in, framedrops eveywhere.

2- shitty item/weapon management.

3- repetitive sidequests with the same looking rooms on the same looking barren planets just with a different color.

4- you gets loads of money but you barely spend any of it.

just like assassin's creed, the main quest is cool but in-between is shite.

Shittyer begining than Twilight Princess. I thought it was shit at Eden Prime but after a couple of Planets in i changed my mind for sure. The Side Quests are ass, the AI is fucktarded, and Vendors are useless. Its not perfect. But nothing is these days.

My Garrus kept dieing at the begining of each fucking room like a piece of pussy ass. Worthless. Wrex/Ashley on the other hand were ok

You are right, GTA4 is not released yet

i guess it depends on the weapons/skills.

sure, both died a lot but Unity skill helped with that.

mass effect is pretty entertaining for the 4 or 5 hours that bioware actually bothered to design -- some of the story planets, some of the citadel sidequests. the rest of the game is insulting -- to call it filler would be unfair to styrofoam packing peanuts. most overrated game this gen? probably

I like the game, but you have to wonder exactly what bioware was DOING for so long

probably swindling money from MS to make dragon age

this sounds pretty accurate

Mass Effect is great! and 5 hours long, stretched to either an awkward 15 or an intolerable 40

GilloD · « **Reply #29 on:** April 16, 2008, 09:39:28 PM »

Mass Effect is the game I had the worst things to say about, but liked the most. The combat is completely trivial is you play as some classes and an absolute obstacle if you play as others. It serves as nothing more than a means to advance the story. Quests quickly become repetitive, 75% of the environments are copy/paste and I have no idea how the Mako made it out of QA in the shape that it did.

That said, as a package it is so thoroughly ahead of the pack and so engrossing, there is almost nothing you can do to keep me away from it.

It's not bad, it's just either so easy you don't know why they bothered or so difficult it feels broken.

trippingmartian · « **Reply #35 on:** April 17, 2008, 04:32:40 AM »

Bioware still has no idea how to make a role playing game for a home console. They've basically taken a PC RPG formula and retrofitted it to an Xbox controller. The GUI is horrendous, and the load times are inexcusable.

Mondain · « **Reply #42 on:** April 17, 2008, 01:17:58 PM »

it was mostly good and it had a killer atmosphere and good presentation, but what it lacked the most is CONTENT

all the side-missions are worthless and there aren't enough in-game events, plot twists and such for you to care much about what's going on

at the end before you go to the last level they found a cheap way to explain everything that's going on, intead of adding you know, 30-40 hours of proper content to the main game and let you discover the truth on your own as you play

the UI and the weapon system along with the stats were too dumbed down, too

and it wasn't any revolutionnary, it's still the same Bioware good vs. evil kind of RPG, the conversation system is a complete gimmick

Nevermind, I just did and pretty much flunked a long mission for a dumb reason. I didn't even like the mission. This game went from "eh, it's pretty neat" to "argh!" pretty quick.

You can save in the middle of missions.

The Fake Shemp · « **Reply #47 on:** April 17, 2008, 04:05:37 PM »

Didn't matter. Once I realized what I had to do to beat the mission, it would mean going back a ridiculous amount prior to my save points. I just wasn't feeling it either. There's a lot of open space and very few enemies. I was kind of disappointed. I thought once I left the Citadel, I'd be like a Jedi on a super grand epic adventure and it just seemed... meh.
