Members jenksdrummer Posted November 30, 2007 Author Members Share Posted November 30, 2007 ive been eyeing it. is it worth the bux? If you like RPG's, it's kick ass. There's some FPS action in there too. The only think I don't like is you can't blip through the dialog. I've restarted several times going through just the first "section" deciding I want to do somethign different, and it gets old in that sense, but now that I'm in new territory, it's pretty kick ass. I'd say it's better than oblivion. Not sure on Oblivion's expansion pack, but in terms of the original game, it's better... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members FaultyChildSeat Posted November 30, 2007 Members Share Posted November 30, 2007 I heard that game was just completely filled with bugs to the point where it was nearly unplayable. i know Biowares forums were going {censored}ing nuts there for a while about it. Whats the latest? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's pretty good, playability-wise. Some frame rate issues, but nothing during combat that I've seen. Plus you can turn off the motion blur and some other effect and eliminate it quite a bit. I've not bothered, but that's what I've read. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members JoshuaLogan Posted November 30, 2007 Members Share Posted November 30, 2007 I have it. Only played a little bit of it so far though. definitely awesome visuals. was a little slow and tedious at first, but I wasn't really in the mood for sitting down and getting into it at the time. I'm sure it'll be awesome when I've got some more time to play it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure it'll be awesome when I've got some more time to play it The thing that bugs me about the slow/tedious part, is the time for transports, elevators, and dialog. That said, the dialog is well done. if you move the stick (and just not hit anything) you can start making your next choice before the other person is done speaking. Makes the dialog more movie-like. This game is more like an interactive movie, to be honest. Visuals are closer to the Final Fantasy Movie than most games. The past two nights I've been going to bed at 2:30AM and 1:30AM, only to get up at 6:30AM...normally I go to bed around 10:30PM - but there's enough of a hook of "what that?" that I keep playing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members blargh Posted November 30, 2007 Members Share Posted November 30, 2007 I've really enjoyed it so far. Just don't buy it expecting an action game, I think you'll find it way too slow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That being said, the action parts are pretty crazy. I beat GRAW-II on medium difficulty, and have this on normal, and my ass was getting handed to me by some pirates on one planet - gith too on another planet. Granted, it was like 10 of them to 3 of me, and our weapons weren't as good... I beat that area only to find out that a skill wasnt high enough to get some of the goods... =/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members JesperX Posted December 1, 2007 Members Share Posted December 1, 2007 I need to try out Mass Effect still. If you love RPG's, check out The Witcher. Personally I think it's the best RPG to come out in a long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Sins_&_Shadows Posted December 2, 2007 Members Share Posted December 2, 2007 Mass Effect is completely worth it. i just got it a few days ago and i'm hooked. the story is great and the "galaxy" is enormous Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members kinggeoff Posted December 17, 2007 Members Share Posted December 17, 2007 Took your advice, guys. :love: man this game is involving@!!! I've been waiting for a game this intricate for a whiiile. Haven't got to do so much random stuff since Shenmue on DC. So far the story is gripping and thick, the characters have a decent and fairly individual personality. Combat isn't as bad as people say. Great game so far...hopefully it stays this way :poke: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members shreder75 Posted December 17, 2007 Members Share Posted December 17, 2007 REALLY good game..I just beat it a couple days ago and started another game with the same character..wanna go totally renegade this time, hook up with someone else and try for the different ending as well as trying to max out at level 60 it's not without its issues... the inventory system sucks...the mako combat can be a pain in the ass..and the side mission base layouts are just about all the same... the combat's a little clunky at first till you get use to it..then it kinda plays like gears of war..third person, over the shoulder..can use cover...even though it's based on that sorta gameplay, it doesn't feel like GOW..so don't expect that.. there's a few frame rate issues, but they don't ruin the game... the main quest missions are awesome as are the worlds they're on.... the whole back story kicks ass as well..reading the codex entries wasn't a chore at all...very engrossing, reading about the alien cultures and tech, their wars and histories as well as reading about other star systems and ships, weapons, galactic government... normally once I beat a game I don't play it again unless I REALLY REALLY dig it...but there's alot of reasons to play this through at least twice... the world that bioware created for this one (or should I say, Universe) is really consuming..great stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually found it to be more action oriented that I thought it would be for an RPG... I mean there's alotta talking and codex reading (if you so choose) but the fighting sequences are very long... in any event, despite categorization, it's got alot of things in it that should appeal to fans of RPGs and action games, IMO..thats what makes it purdy cool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And i don't really miss the brumak on the 360 version, looking back. Neat boss fight, but not as cool as i thought it would be after first hearing about it when the PC version was hittin the news....i do, though, wish the extended PC story was in the 360 version on my first playthrough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I watched my friend play it for a while, and it was very regularly lagging up like it had a horrendous issues with maintaining a half decent framerate. It wasn't even that the game occasionally got too busy and couldn't handle it. It'd just do it randomly. I can't believe people tolerate this stuff. I've been seeing it more and more in games, and now it's even in the really big ones. It makes absolutely NO sense for a console game to do anything remotely like this. You're paying for laziness and cheapness. It's very obvious that they are just going, "Ah, screw it, most people won't even say anything even if they notice!"
