i swear I've watched every video on this game. I've been holding out on buying any games until this comes out. No Halo3, no COD4, no 2K8. If my bro didn't work at ubisoft CA I wouldn't have assasins creed either. I preorderd but I'm leaving for thanksgiving on tuesday, so I might have to figure something out.

I read revelations about a month ago, and it's a great setup for the game. Answered a lot of questions I had about the mass effect universe.

22. "I've had Mass Effect for a couple of days now..."
In response to Reply # 0


          

and if you like KOTOR, you'll love Mass Effect...

Mass Effect is along the same lines as Knights of the Old Republic as far as gameplay but the fighting/combat system is a million times better... straight up actioner... not any RPG type of battles... even though the game is an RPG. it's like you're playing a shooter... like Gears of War style. Graphics are way better than KOTOR of course as well.

But just like KOTOR, you upgrade weapons and characters, you travel from planet to planet to accomplish your missions. On each planet, you of course have your mission, and there are side missions that earn you cash, equipment, experience, and other valuables etc.

Oh yeah, there are a ton of planets, so this looks like it's going to be a very long game.

I haven't got my Bionic powers yet, but I fought some folks who had some, and I can't wait until i get there. Whew!

You also get to drive vehicles in the game, Halo-style. Machine gun and missiles, etc.

Story is immersive... so far so good...

In response to Reply # 32


  

          

You actually run around and shoot with your guy...it's not turn based or anything.

It kind of looks like the gameplay of GRAW + plus leveling up and magic and stuff.

Bioshock is much less RPGish, but it's not like comparing a straight shooter vs a straight rpg.

In response to Reply # 31


  

          

Alright, I don't want anyone thinking I got my shit from work. We don't even have our copies in yet and won't until Monday afternoon or early Tuesday morning.

The secret really is knowing guys who are MUCH shiftier than you and work at the right giant retailers, usually during the graveyard shifts when no one gives a fuck about anything.

In response to Reply # 43


  

          

It's the holidays and I think retailers and those that work at retailers really have the upper hand this time of the year. When I worked at Blockbuster, I used to let people buy movies early and gave out free rentals and employee discounts like candy in exchange for free lunches, oil changes, and employee discounts at other places.

Honest to God, even though working for retail is really shitty, I thank God I did it because it built up my "hustle" skill and my overall ability to work out a seemingly win-win situation with most people, I think.

Regardless of the all the other triple-A titles coming out this year....just a feeling that this will be the overall best game this year.

I been saying it for a loooooong time, this game seems to shape up as THE game to get. Imo, it will be taking Oblivion's title as the amazing, visually stunning and compelling RPG. At least for a few months lol

At this point, I'm tired of pretty games with no substance or just bore me with the repetitve play. I have over $1300 in games sitting on the shelf with a goal of someday completing. Someday...hell I still got Fight Night sitting up there with 250 achv points I need to get. Bio-Shock even sits there and I have no urge to touch it. I played the 1st KOTOR 4 times, if this is any thing like it, I'm set for minute.

for awhile at least....

I'm interested in seeing the dynamics of this game. For one:


**semi spoilers***









- I heard you can't change your characters facial profile (or maybe its until you complete the whole game).

- everyone's pissed out the armor selection..you team get to have some dope armor upgrades but Shepards is wack.

- Batarians race (from the novel) is somewhat mentioned in the game and you get to see what they look like that's it.

- resemblance of KOTOR but way better.....including dope crowd interactions...

- some of the achievements are tough to accomplish...

- you have up until Eden Prime to decide what difficulty level you want to play after that, you stuck with what you have....

9.5 Presentation
A new high mark for storytelling in games. Gameplay can be confusing at first due to a lack of good tutorials.
9.0 Graphics
One of the most artistically and technically beautiful games of all time. Unfortunately, the engine can't keep up and slowdown is rampant.
10 Sound
An unprecedented amount of top-notch voice work.
9.0 Gameplay
The RPG elements are outstanding. Glitches, poor AI, and weak squad mechanics weigh the game down.
9.5 Lasting Appeal
Sure to be a classic RPG that is talked about (and played) for years.
9.4
Outstanding OVERALL
(out of 10 / not an average)

In response to Reply # 0


  

          

ActionTrip - 91/100 - "Bottom line, this game is not the second coming. It doesn't live up to the hype in the way some hoped it might (and really, which overhyped game does). But, this is truly an evolutionary step in BioWare's development of single-player RPGs."

GameSpy - 5/5 - "Warts and all, you'll want to experience Mass Effect if you have any interest at all in enjoying one of the greatest efforts that modern videogaming has to offer."

Shacknews - Too cool for scores - "It succeeds in spite of its faults, and by the end, I was left excited with the idea of an improved sequel. For that reason, it's a game that every RPG fan should play."

TeamXbox - 9.6/10 - "Despite it's flaws, there's no denying that Mass Effect is one of the best games of the year, and is certainly the best RPG on the Xbox 360."

In response to Reply # 0


  

          

http://masseffect.bioware.com/forums/viewtopic.html?topic=585782&forum=104&sp=30

Just to clarify:
- The level cap on the first playthrough is 50.
- Beating the game the first time raises the cap to 60.
- You can reach this cap by playing a new character (very hard to reach) or using an old character to re-enter the game.
- You bring over all your gear and money from the previous playthrough when you restart with an old character.
- You can customize new characters on subsequent playthroughs using unlocked talents earned from achievements. Think Adept with a shotgun.

to the next game. That'd be pretty cool.

Then again, I guess you'd have to stick with the 360 version of Mass Effect 2 if you did that.

57. "I always wondered why more games didnt have New Game +"
In response to Reply # 50


  

          

You are able to go through the story again without having to level up, and really try to appreciate the finer detals....and at the same time, there's the entertainment of maxing out characters.

Chrono Trigger is the game that always comes to mind when I think of New Game +, and ive honestly played through it probably 4 times now. On my current 5th trial, im just trying to get all of the endings, and for some of them (ie Chrono + Marle fight vs Lavos right at the start of the game, with the portal on the teleportation device ...great ending too lol, getting to talk to all the developers and producers at the End of Time) you really need really excellent characters(I have Chrono and Glenn (frog) maxed out on their attack, speed, and regular defense, and then Magus maxed out on Magic def, magic attack, and speed.....needless to say, they have always been my fav characters lol).

I love new game +.

I will agree with the reviews about the combat takes time to get used to. At times, I'm not sure if I hit something or not. Then again, I'm equip with either a pistol or a shotgun (playing as a vanguard). My teammates aren't that great as far as backup goes, but I'ma bang that Williams chick. She wants me.

Have to get used to the wheel
I now understand about frame rates drops because yeah...
The music is awesome and yeah I did catch Terminator and Flash Gordon flashbacks
Damn husks. How did one sneak up on me and my teammates did nothing. Bastards...

But other than that, this looks like it'll be a very good game.

83. "so I've had this damn game crash on me 3 times"
In response to Reply # 0


  

          

it happens when I walk into a room and quickly walk back out. The game will freeze half a second then take me back to the 360 dashboard. And what hurts is that I have to start over from my last save point. I scanned a few msg boards and dont see anyone else having the problem. Maybe my 360 is giving me clues.

In response to Reply # 83


  

          

shit is annoying.

I had to cut my shit off once cause the game just froze when I was trying to travel to the Citadel Tower.

Or when I get to a door...shit lags at some points.

I'm glad I aint the only one.

I thought it was my system, too....

Looks like it's the game.

Or maybe the game just taxes the hell outta the system.

I dunno.....

terrible squad ai, embarrassing texture loading, frame rate drops all over the place. i'm surprised they released it in this state. hopefully they can release a patch that adresses some of these issues. also the menus suck. and the autosave feature is almost worthless

thankfully everything else is top quality. the amount of spoken dialogue in this game is staggering. it really adds to the immersion. i don't know how i'll go back to reading text boxes after this...

I'm sayin. I'm still haven't gotten used to picking my dialogue
options before the conversation ends, it's as if I keep expecting
them to carry on. lol

I won't go as far to say that the AI squad is terrible, but
they leave a lot to be desired. And the frame rate has happened
but only a handful of times.

overall, I think this game is great so far.

it seems like they don't want to listen to me. i'll tell them to go to a spot where they can take take cover but only one of them will actually take cover while the other one just stands there taking 'bullets.' the ability to set different waypoints for different characters would help immensely. also they never seem to react quick enough to fast enemies (like those exploding bugs on peak 15) and end up taking huge amounts of damage for no reason other than the ai is bad. it's just frustrating sometimes

Just enough depth to be enjoyable without a rediculous amount of extra shit. The framerate drops and the texture loading is rather abysmal. It's as bad as Halo 2 with the texture loading, really sad.

I'm aiming to fuck every hot chick in this game including Williams and also the blue chick.

this thing has crashed on me well over 10 times now. I think its my box though. It crashed playing Halo today too. In a way, I wish it would red-ring so I could get it upgraded. I'm buying another one (for HDMI) by Chistmas anyway.

In response to Reply # 100
Mon Nov-26-07 07:54 AM by bearfield

  

          

*might*

mass effect, with all its problems (which aren't actually aren't that bad, especially if you've played KOTOR) is at least 20 hours. on one playthrough. and that's if you rush through. add another 35 for taking your time on your second playthrough. plus dlc will be available for it soon (i'm thinking it will be a 'planet pack' aka unlocking new planets for you to explore). mass effect is very oblivion-like in a few ways: lots of stuff to do besides the main quest and incentive to play with different types of characters

uncharted is very good but it's more of a cheesy action movie good: no depth, no lasting appeal, no reason to go through it again, but fun for that 12 or so hours (if you're slow like my friend; i played for 5 hours and finished 75% of the game)

Times like these I wish I had picked Solider haha

But yeah been to at least four systems, my deposit game is no joke. The Mira core, still haven't figured that one out yet. This is were I could switch members to decode/decyph(sp)stuff. Took out some mercs and crimelords. Trashers are whoa.

So far I'm digging it, especially when enemies be running away and I buck 'em with the shottie haha. The squad so far is Wrex and Williams. Fuck Garrus. He ain't touching nay planetary grounds. If you can't use an assualt, you're staying on the Normandy.

104. "I just flipped my entourage to Tali and Williams"
In response to Reply # 103


  

          

I got Tali for the Tech abilities and Williams for the soldier charcateristics. I wanna up her to sniper, so she can handle far off targets too. This game is really good. After the first skirmish I started understanding the combat. The only gripe is the cover system and squad control. The squad still does whatever the fuck they want even tho I set them to Defense only. They'll still run up and get in the way. The cover system although a nice thought is poorly implemented. I wanna be able to come off of cover and advance to a more strategic location without control issues. And even sometimes my fucking squad will bump me off of my cover spot on some bogardin' shit. It's dumb like that.

All of that being said I still enjoy it.

if you snag the 'get 150 (insert weapon here) kills' achievement(s) you get a related bonus talent on your next new character. 150 assault rifle kills on playthrough #1 means you could have an adept using an assault rifle on playthrough #2. i unlocked electronics and damping as bonus talents with my infiltrator

i'm seriously considering quickly running through the game on hardcore with a soldier before i play with my ruthless lesiban blasian adept on insanity just so i can have a bonus weapon talent

a little too corny and melodramatic for my tastes but still very good. actually the last few hours are really well done and a lot of fun. usually my attention wanes towards the end of a game but mass effect held my attention and on a few occasions had me on the edge of my seat. also nice use of the paragon/renegade system right up to the end

now on to my 'real' playthrough as an evil adept!

Y'all are on your grind. I plan on taking my time with it. But then again, I got too many games now anyways. Maybe I should focus.

After I beat this last level on COD4, it's nothing but Assassin's Creed and Mass Effect for me.

In response to Reply # 120


  

          

took me about 20 hours. i wanted to get the 'paragon' achievement out of the way and i decided that i didn't like the infiltrator class *that* much to do a proper playthrough. it's a good class but it renders 3 of the other characters useless, limiting my options for my squad. ...plus i played like 12 hours straight on saturday night/sunday morning :|

...I tried to do that side quest where the biotic terrorist took over the freighter. My ass got served time and time again. But I am still getting used to the combat system.

My last couple of battles have been smoother and I've been able to levle up and upgrade some things, so we'll see.

if you haven't beaten that stage already, they gave you a hella hard choice at the end of that mission. Like that had me sitting there for a minute.

Have you gone to the bionic compound? Now that one doesn't make too much sense to me, but I got smoked on that one too.

I'm getting used to the Mako, hardly use the machine guns. Just get up close, jump, fire the cannon.

but i got so tired of being the good guy during the story missions that i didn't want to be nice during the side quests. i couldn't be 'bad' during the side quests because that would jeopardize me unlocking the 'paragon' achievement. so i said 'fuck it' and decided to rush through the rest of the game after having done only 2 or 3 side quests with the intention of being a total asshole (or bitch) on my next playthrough. imo it's infinitely more fun to be a jerk in these games. i had to force myself to be diplomatic during the biotic cult side quest. i just wanted to storm in and kill everyone. you know, for the experience points and loots. yeah, that's the ticket... *shifty eyes*

Liara and Shepard's love story line has started

Haha I keep forgetting to talk to my crew on occassion.

One semi-major gripe: Just like KOTOR, every place looks almost the same. If it's not Hoth, it's a desert, not a desert some grassy plains. The mines look the same and I get de ja vu. Because of that I know where to set my folks and what powers to use, because it's the same level as before. I can even take Garrus down and he won't fuck up (dude is sniping folks like a Halo match). Hell the L2 of my crew can get down. I noticed that after I was completing the side missions before going to Feros (have to go back to Noveria(sp)).

But yeah...level design is eh.

Be fearless...

Welcome back. Don't f*ck up again.

geez, what an idiot. do you even know how to play video games?


























































j/k. i keep dying on the liara mission when the drop ship dumps 2 geth colossi and some shock troopers on me. and when i tried to do the biotic freighter mission i got killed in like 10 seconds. i think i spoke too soon about veteran not being harder than normal

alls i'm saying is that the in-game description of 'veteran' is 'bosses and sub-bosses are scaled up according to the player's level. normal enemies are scaled to the player's level.' (not verbatim)

then again, i could be getting killed so easily due to the fact that i just now became a spectre. this is the first mission i've attempted since leaving the citadel. i don't think i'm even level 10 yet

without Liara and Tali on your squad. Tali shuts down and Liara lifts and throws people so, yea. I got peeled back some 5 times trying that one with Ashley. I had the same problem on the Liara mission, same spot too.

The mission on Feros was fun and difficult enough too. It was challenging but not overwhelming.

I just unlocked Unity for my powers. FUCK YEA.

In response to Reply # 137


  

          

If you have the shock absorber enhancement, use that. Lift is a powerful skill. If you and someone else has it, they good as done.

*now remembers*
I had Wrex (bionics and high health) and the tech chick to damping/short circuit/overload the bionics. I think I equip them with bullets that would take points off (like the chemical and radioactive rounds).

Trust me once you master that, you basically mastered combat in the game. Since I know that someone is gonna try and out flank me, I go to the left and let the rest do the dirt work as I buck off the folks on the left.

Or back up into the hallway, get cover at the door, forcing them into a narrow passageway.

Now the rocket robot drones? Yeah I don't like them nor snipers

i'm not sure as i never got past him taking my picture on my last playthrough. *dons tinfoil hat* i am sure that he's secretly plotting my demise. i have to get him first! *removes hat*

it sure is fun being mean to him this time around though

155. "the adept class is tight as hell"
In response to Reply # 0


  

          

thanks to barrier, throw/lift, and my carried over electronics skill (adds to shields) i'm getting lots shotgun kills even though i have no training with shotguns and i can't equip anything but light armor. i'm hoping to unlock the shotgun achievement with this class so i can carry it over to my next character which will probably be a sentinel

this team of adept, garrus, and tali is actually working out very well. all three of us have overload so enemy shields aren't a problem. garrus and tali have damping for stuns. once you unlock medium armor for garrus he becomes a beast. he's good with the assault/sniper rifle and tali rocks her pistol with aplomb. i just sit back and toss cats around then run up on them with the shotty for the final blow. or if the enemies are too tough/numerous i just sit back and pistol snipe while tali and garrus take down shields and stun. speaking of pistols, i think the pistol might be the best weapon in the game. it has a good rate of fire, it's extremely accurate even at very long ranges (with the marksman ability), and it does tons damage with the right mods (namely high caliber barrel and chemical rounds)

*spoiler-ish*

So I'm a level 15 Vanguard, and I can make it thru the first battle and think I'm home free right?

Naw, this ho go an order up some new commandos! And she's not stationary like in the first part of the battle. Kaiden is holding his own, but Garrus is bitching out constantly. As soon as I take out her commandos, she creeps me with the damping and I'm done!

*sigh*

I'll give it another few go 'rounds tonight. I didn't have the energy last night.

I procrastinated the hell out of it. I'm sure the fight difficulty matches the experience level though..

best thing I did was stay the hell out of the range of Benenzia, find a place where she can't hit you, cuz that shit is real annoying

spectre weapons are godly. i've got a class vii shotgun that has 90% accuracy and does 320 damage. i'm slaying cats left and right with it + lift/throw/singularity i can't even train with it!

i barely got it by killing the second to last geth at the end. and i had to run through damn near every single dialog option and do all the side quests

but it was worth it as jane shepard, renegade lesbian blasian adept was literally unstoppable for the majority of the game . also she sexed up liara and told kaidan to back the fuck off because 'i saw her first'

now on to my third run through the game on hardcore as a soldier with the intent to unlock assault rifle talent for my playthrough on insanity as a sentinel

i honestly can't remember the last time i wanted to play through such a long a game multiple times. it's truly a testament to the quality of this game

165. "My first playthru..."
In response to Reply # 164


  

          

I got the Paragon shit outta the way. I'm on my second playthru as an uber tech Infiltrator black lesbian bitch with a knack for gettin' paid off them illegal actividads. I played thru as Vangaurd first so I have throw as well. When I'm finished with this one I'm going to make an asian Angelina-Kerry Washington soldier class.

You're right man. This game is long as shit and yet I still want to play thru again and again. I LOVE how the story unfolds differently depending on your birth or background and allies on the mission with you. I'll give some examples...

On the first playthru I didn't take Wrex with me (or use him very much at all thru the game) to fight Fist in Chora's Den. I did the Paragon thing and let him go. Second playthru I had the intent off killing him myself, took Wrex with me and MID FUCKING DIALOGUE, my frog-nigga Wrex whips out the shotty and puts the guage to this fool. Bucked him off. I laughed so hard. lol He's all "I said I would kill him... contract... yaddayaddaya."

On Noveria, Anolies (the salarian exec) had some snide remarks for me being a colonist. First playthru I was Earthborn and he didn't say anything.

Finally, first playthru I was Ruthless off that Torfan mission shit and I calmed down the cultist head Kyle by relating to him cuz he was there. Second play thru I was the survivor from Mindoir and I had a hostage situation from a survivor of the enslavers near the Normandy at the Docking Bay in the Citadel.


I'ma keep playing to see all the different story combos and different ways they make this story truly unique.

169. "make sure to unlock the 'overload specialist' achievement"
In response to Reply # 165
Mon Dec-03-07 09:53 AM by bearfield

  

          

extra shields + enemy shield damage will be extremely useful for your solider character, especially if you're planning on upping the difficulty. i had it for my adept character but for some reason the 'overload' ability disappeared from the wheel once i unlocked 'unity' . also throw as many points as you can into pistol. if you have it mastered when you reach lvl 20 it's ungodly powerful and imo far more useful than the sniper rifle. just throw some chemical rounds and a damage booster on a spectre pistol, abuse marksman, and watch the enemies die before your team has a chance to get a shot off

unrelated but have you seen the 'explosive' rounds? they start appearing at around lvl 45+ iirc and they are completely devastating in a shotgun. they add 500% knockback, 20+% damage, and 500% overheat. i had them in my spectre shotgun with a lvl viii accuracy boost/combat sensor (can't recall the name right now) plus a scram rail ix (extra damage and overheating) and i was literally 1-hit killing geth juggernauts at point blank range on veteran. with an adept!! of course you can only get one shot off before the gun overheats but it does far more damage per shot than any other kind of ammo upgrade and probably any gun period. plus the enemy's body goes flying off and disintegrates into ashes before it hits the ground EVERY time

I gotta keep my eye out for the explosive rounds. I capped my first character at around lvl 44 (Vangaurd) before beating the game. I'll make sure to keep my eye out this second time around.

I hear you on the Pistol. I always load my squad up with rounds that either do bonus damage to organics or synthetics, and I keep a weapon that does duration damage like chemical or incendiary.

Yea, those bonus shields will be nice on my soldier character.

181. "on second thought, the shields might not be *that* useful"
In response to Reply # 177
Mon Dec-03-07 12:38 PM by bearfield

  

          

since as a soldier you get heavy armor and i think there's a cap on shields. can't really tell by looking at the squad screen* :|

but overload is super useful on hardcore as damn near every enemy has lots of shields. no such thing as too many characters with overload in my book


*which brings me to another gripe: there's no screen that shows your adjusted weapons/armor stats. if i have a gun that does 247 damage with 43 accuracy and my training states that i get an additional 22% damage and 41% accuracy, plus i have mods on the gun that give it another 24% accuracy and damage, why isn't there a screen that shows me the adjusted stats? i understand that bioware 'dumbed down' the rpg aspect (the numbers, anyway) in an attempt to bring in the short attention-spanned twitchy finger halo crowd but i'm sick of having to keep up with the modified stats in my head as i'm trying to build a min-maxed team for the higher difficulties. this is an rpg, for chrissakes! i need my numbers!

I'm mad I had only two more Keepers to go before the game ended (one I couldn't examine because of the VI and couldn't find the other)

Still had some resources to find, but over all that was cool. I started again with the old character, but since I did most of the side quests, I'll probably speed through, but first...

On to Assassin's Creed I go...

The only other one was that keeper you can't scan. I have no idea where the last one was.

Yeah, I'm playing through again with my old character as a Renegade this time. I got him to lvl 50, so I'll probably play him to lvl 60 for the achievement. Seeing my nice guy character be a complete jerk in the same situations now is hilarious.

I scanned it and kept it moving. My boy said that the VI wouldn't let him scan it and he didn't credit for it. I went back to it and it just said "examine", so I assumed that I didn't get credit for it either.

More than likely, it's my mistake. I'll look more closely during my next playthrough.

a secret room/hallway opens and there's a keeper in there.

found out about that during the 2nd run through while completing all of the side missions...

someone else can probably explain that better.

I'm glad you can go back with your original character because I could not get to 50 on the first playthrough for anything - even with all of the side quests. Sad thing is, as soon as I beat it I was messing with new characters and starting a new game.

This game is friggin addictive as hell. It reminds me of that purple dragon in South Park. Heroin Effect, indeed.

187. "yes, its from one of the side missions (lil spoiler)"
In response to Reply # 183


  

          

I just completed it yesterday. I want to say it's the side mission where you get a emergency call to visit a planet where a bomb was stolen or the bomb was activated and you have to deactivate it. Right before that cut scene (you're underground in a mine) the ghost sets off a trap to close off the way you came in. After the cut scene, you have to deactivate the bomb in 10 seconds and there's 3 codes to break in order to do it.

In response to Reply # 187


  

          

and ended up on the other side of space where it was assigned to probe. It had a failsafe nuclear bomb in it in case it gets tampered and sent the "Mission Completed" message to the Alliance like 26 years late and shit. That dude stole it and then triggered it to blow. Now what CONFUSES ME is that if this is a nuke 2 times the size as the mugfucker that dropped on Hiroshima, how come this dude and his clan are like, right outside cold chillin' when you defuse and re-surface out the mine??? That shit makes no sense to me.

In response to Reply # 194


  

          

missions.Like the Local Cluster (Earth and shit) doesn't even appear until you get the mission for the rogue VI in the military facility on the Moon. Some systems won't even appear till later either. There was one cluster I went to that had three sytems in it. After I completed the continuous mission across all three sytems, then a fourth system showed up in that same cluster for the last part of the mission. You just gotta keep your eyes peeled.

198. "Favorite side missions?"
In response to Reply # 0


          

I know that a lot of the side quests are a bit repetitive (and the hype has died down a bit), but some of them were actually a lot of fun.

Personally, I liked the mission where Helena Blake sends you after two mob bosses and then asks you to cut a deal with her. Also, Garrus' mission to capture Dr. Heart was good. Maybe because after hearing that he was growing organs in test subjects and harvesting them made killing him that much more desirable.

If you give the owner the device and come back to Flux later, you'll see him on the dance floor and get the option for Shepard to dance. Hilarious.

It works either way if you take the device. As long as you talk to the Volus. But my super-paragon dude just told him "no" off the break the first time and never took the device. So he never got to dance. :/

not so much for the content but i thought the planets looked really cool. the last mission on the moon orbiting a giant blue gas giant... so beautiful. i'd give my left arm, my right leg and be in debt until my dying breath for a chance to see something like that in real life *sigh*

as for content, the cerberus missions were probably the most fun. good story and i got to lay waste to 'innocent' scientists!

Her naive outlook on everything was annoying. Ashley had a very annoying Mila Kunis voice. I'm not sure if it was Mila Kunis but it was annoying just like hers.

If not for the crackhead facial signature on Liara's moms' face, she coulda got fucked.

In one of the dialogues with people on the Citadel, Shepard has the option "You've read my file!" when someone you speak to already knows your name. I think it's one of the turians, maybe the C-Sec commander guy. I don't watch 24 at all and the reference made me chuckle.

If you talk to Liara, she'll ask what your intentions are and if you don't tell her that you don't fuck with Liara like that, she'll stop pursuing. If Liara came to your room, then you advanced more in her love story than in Ashley's, and at that point there is no return.

Funny thing is if you tell them both that the other is "just a friend" they'll come up to you in this mini chick fight type deal in the Comm room asking who is your main squeeze "Me or her?".

I thought that was pretty slick.

i'm going for this scenario on my next playthrough. last time i was stupid mean to liara but i screwed up with ashley at some point so my character didn't get any sweet, sweet action. the weird thing is every time my (male) character walked up to kaidan the camera and lighting got all seductive-y like i was trying to hit on the guy :/

they didn't allow man on man homo love, no homo. But I guess Liara is the love anamoly since Ashley only fucks dude characters and Kaidan only fucks chick characters. Liara will fuck any*thing*. Literally, lol.

And when I played as a female character, of course it was the same scene and lighting. Clearly setting the mood. lol

My renegade character asked "Can I have you both?" but that's a quick way to get stuck with Liara.

I played as a female the second time through. I must say, speaking as a girl gamer, the romance option with Kaiden is soooo beyond weak. I wanted to kill him more.

whos in your party?

if they have biotic powers, be sure to USE them. lots of lifts and such. concentrate attack when its not moving.

make sure u have your weapons upgraded properly.

keep your player on the move and you should survive.

In response to Reply # 227


  

          

except for the warp power which does considerable damage and raises damage taken. Using alot of overload, damping, and sabotage works well too.

I had all characters that had shotgun mastery and gave them super powerful shotty's and carnage ability. Using radioactive rounds/or any rounds that raise cooldown time is good to use and also health killer rounds like fire damage and poison damage are good to use too.

In other words, taking Tali and Wrex is a good idea. You can use Ashley too for weapons.

i was a vanguard... and i had Garrus and Liara in my party. And I gotta admit that Liara's and my biotics did come in handy.

I beat him in one try, although it did take me awhile.

maybe that's why i was able to throw him around so easily. i'd just wait for him to jump on a wall or ceiling then hit him with thousands of newtons of force and his limp body would fall to the ground, usually right on top of a grenade

techs weren't very effective for me on vet or hardcore. damping didn't stun him for very long and overload barely did any damage to his shields

what an all weapons force team can do. A Soldier class, Ashley and maybe Garrus too. Just all ballistic force with some but very minimal tech and biotic offensive skills.

Kaiden was lifting and throwing the shit outta him, and then I would intervene with a throw and lift.......Kaiden would be re-charged and continue to lift and throw....I would use master adrenaline and lift and throw....Kaiden is re-charged....and the cycce continues lol. I kinda even felt bad for the dude, he was so powerless.

229. "Mass Effect: Ascension"
In response to Reply # 0


  

          

http://www.computerandvideogames.com/article.php?id=178208

Second Mass Effect book, Mass Effect: Ascension set between first game and eventual sequel.
- by Andy Robinson

Del-Rey Books and author Drew Karpyshyn have announced the second volume in the Mass Effect series of novels, which will bridge the gap between the first game and its eventual sequel.

Mass Effect: Ascension is the name of the second read, but we wouldn't like to speculate what it might be about because we're yet to finish the massive game. No spoilers!

The first book though, Mass Effect: Revelation (a prequel to the 360 RPG) was a great read (even if it wasn't the best written book) so we're definitely going to skim through Ascension when it comes out next Summer.

Meanwhile, there's speculation that the currently 360 exclusive RPG is coming to PS3. Superstar analyst Michael Patcher said in an interview that he reckons BioWare will definitely bring it to Sony's console. Stranger things have happened (especially this year)...

Now, all we've got to do is finishing the game before January...

238. "When you land on a planet like Edolus"
In response to Reply # 0
Thu Jan-03-08 11:04 PM by m

  

          

Make sure you survey the whole planet. The map doesn't show everything. So drive around (using the outline of the borders of the red square) searching for metals/probes/bodies/etc.

For example, when you land on Edolus and turn on the map, it only shows 3 items on the map. But if you take the extra time to drive around, you'll find an extra 3 hidden items. That will help you get your metals, gases, medallions and other objects.

Also, as others have pointed out in this thread, make sure to take Tali with you as she can open probes, etc that none of the others can.

In response to Reply # 0


  

          

The only thing I can really fault is the repetition that is involved with exploring these outer-worlds. I really wish at least some of them were more developed, and gave you an actual city-like RPG feel(how the Citadel is). Im loving everything else though including the dialogue, the characters(for all the shit talked about their respective-AI's, ive really had zero problems), the action, and then of course the relationship angles lol.

As of now, Im just doing sidemissions and will prob go to Virmire in a little bit....im blasting clowns though with my Vangaurd, Wrex, and Kaidan. Level 38 so far, just got the shock trooper upgrade.

244. "Downloadable Content"
In response to Reply # 0


  

          

i just noticed that the DLC hasnt been talked about here:



The first piece of downloadable content was announced on February 6, 2008. The "Bring Down The Sky" pack will be released on Monday March 10 at 2 AM P.S.T. for 400 MS points.

According to the official forums:

"Bring Down the Sky includes a new uncharted world that introduces the notorious and feared alien race of the Batarians. A Batarian extremist group has hijacked a mobile asteroid station in the Asgard system, setting it on a collision course with the nearby colony world of Terra Nova. Only Commander Shepard can save the millions of innocent civilians before the asteroid completes its deadly descent." Bioware has stated that the adventure should take 90 minutes to complete. A new Achievement worth 50 Gamerscore points will be included as well.

247. "Beat it today: 35 hours, level 48....my first play-through"
In response to Reply # 0


  

          

The last two levels (Virmire and Illos) are some of the best I've ever played, esp the latter. Gotdamn, the final stages in terms of the combination of gameplay, and dramatics, and story-telling...one of the highest pinnacles of gaming ever achieved so far imo.

Just an amazing fucking game.....I completed every side mission outside of 2(had two keepers left to scan and 3 League of One Medallions to find), and the consequent high levels made the game pretty easy even on veteran.

Just a lovely fucking game.....so much fun. The AI of the characters was really never a problem for me, hell Wrex and Kaidan were straight running shit at times lol.

I wish there were more storyline planets to explore since those involved all the major action....especially if there were more parts like the battles on the Citadel before you get to Saren. Having to destroy a ship by activating the guns gave me flashbacks to American Gladiatiors, and then that last scene where it's just a huge space and you have to move-up strategically to destroy the three geth turrets. Just so much fun especially with the super-powerful upgrades you begin to get near the end(combat optics, sledghammer rounds, medical exoskeleton, combat exoskeleton, etc).

Such a great game, gotta finish Ep 1 and 2 before I come back with New Gm +, and really have some fun being a jack-ass lol.

Put a cap in Wrex too. But I still didn't get that renegade achievement. I'm gonna wait for the DLC and try again.

and none of their previous games interested me (I really, really don't like Starwars and I heard that other Xbox game was mad racist).

It's been cool so far. I'm really digging the dialogue trees.

Exploring the uncharted worlds part.

PS: You get more experience for killing anything on foot in your three man squad. Experience gained from killing things with the Mako is considerably less. For Example: Try weakening Geth Colossus and Armature's with the Mako and then popping out and finishing them off on foot. The Mako would give you like 500 experience in contrast to the 1000+ experience you'd get on foot. Just make sure to use Sabotage and Lift on them so they don't obliterate you with that energy missile they fire.

and then cripple her or slow her down with Warp and Stasis. You have to be an insane high level biotic to be effective with Throw or Singularity tho. Her biotic resistance is high as shit.

And then equip everyone with shotguns, form a ring around her and do a puff puff pass version of a 12 gauge circle jerk.

And I was disappointed at the utter blandness of the uncharted worlds. At first you see how many there are and get exited at the possibilities, then after a couple of them you realize they're pretty much all the same, only with a different texture on the ground.

I would have preferred fewer worlds with more content. And no more bouncing around in that ass mako for fifteen minutes just to get a Turian medallion and a pat on the back, please.

Other than that, this is the first game that actually held my attention to the very end. Lots of fun.

The Uncharted worlds were the biggest let down for me.

also: there has NEVER been a game with worse level design than mass effect.
