The Official Mass Effect Thread.
It's time we have a thread for this. Less then 2 weeks away! Now that I have Call of Duty 4 this is my next most anticipated game. The graphics on this from what i've seen are amazing.
Could this be the best graphics ever in a video game? http://xbox360.ign.com/objects/718/718963.html Set 200 years in the future in an epic universe, Mass Effect places gamers in a vast galactic community in danger of being conquered by a legendary agent gone rogue. A spectacular new vision from legendary developers BioWare, Mass Effect challenges players to lead a squad of freedom fighters as they struggle against threatening armies to restore peace in the land. Mass Effect is the first in a trilogy of games with an overarching story. As the first human Specter – sworn defenders of galactic peace – your mission is to halt the advancing armies of a legendary agent gone rogue. But as you lead your elite team across hostile alien worlds, you will discover the true threat is far greater than anyone imagined. ![]() ![]() ![]() |

You may just be right about the fraphics thing.
And Bioware is making it, so we already know that gameplay will be good. |

I'll probably get Smackdown 08 and I know I'm getting this and I should be good to go until GTA 4 and Resident Evil 5 next year.

Besides Assassins' Creed, this is the game I've been waiting for the most. Planet hopping, KOTOR feel, endless game play. The boys at BioWare got a masterpiece here. |

If you're wanting to get this game you might try calling a local K-Mart. They are apparently breaking release in a lot of places.

Just completed it and this is game of the year easily. The level ups and equipment management don't detract from the action and the pacing is perfect.
The story is brilliantly written and well acted, your choices have major impacts on the storyline and the subplots so choose well. After watching the ending, I cannot wait for the sequel but it worries me. Unless they do what Shenmue did and let you load a save game from the prequel, a lot won't make too much sense. I'm gonna go after that game completed twice now with a different type of character.... |

It's hard to say. Character-wise, yes. All the people and aliens are brilliantly modeled and animated but a lot of the levels are lacking in detail, because they're sparse, unpopulated alien worlds. Assasins Creed definatly as more detailed level design. |

This is awesome. The story is involving and the graphics on the characters are the best i've ever seen. It feels like Knights of the Old Republic at times but different. The real time dialog is what every RPG should be using. And the combat is ok but you can't switch between squad members only order them.
Played for almost 4 hours and haven't even scratched the surface yet. So much to see and do. 10/10 best RPG of the year hands down. Game of the year candidate. |

After a few hours of play. Loving it right now.
Kinda bummed out that you get all your squadmates right off the bat. Wished they were spaced out alot more. |

I see this game as a blend of Star Wars: KOTOR and SOCOM. If you ever played those, you should have no problem with this.

You can land on the moon though apparently. I played this last night for the first time and had so much fun. My friend was being mad annoying about it because he just wanted me to kill shit.. but I was really wanting to go into the story and everything so I was investigating all the time, and he was getting pissed cause I was taking forever.
But still, amazing game. I love it. Went pure adept. |
