Mass Effect

[HawkMan]

Well I've now become firmly stuck playing MAss effect.


and once I figured out I could turn off the filmgrain/noise effectr (ooh a console game that lets you turn off crap nice), luckily I found it early during the first mission so I didn't have to be stuck witht he noise for long

and dammit, can't fint he last two keepoers or the singal thingy in the Wards corridor... oh well. time to get a break from the Citadel I think.

as for my character, I the guy that get's the job done. not quite sure about what history I chose. oh yeah, Earthborn street kid and I'm rackingup quite a few Renegade points . also a sodlier so I'm using my "persuasion" whenever I can, nothing as good as pointing a gun at that reporter bitch's head and telling her she owes me a wee bit more money

oh and I actually felt a bit of genuine pride when I got my spectre commision, chunk that up too good music at the scene, good character animation and voice acting. or just a great job by BioWare :thumbsup:

that film grain effect looks shizer, I did try and see a review of this but IGN's media player is a joke, in this day and age it should take less than 2 hours to load a 7 minute video

being made by bioware is it pretty limited where you can go? like knights of the old republic was pretty limited where you could explore and something like oblivion is not

Hey Hawkman, there's a whole section of the citadel you're missing if you haven't located the source of the signal from the terminal yet... I'll give you a hint, when you're outside in the Citadel plaze go west all the way to the end and you'll encounter doorway to the coridoor.

I completed the main story the other day, and while I didn't immediately gel with the plot at first, the last couple of missions really grabbed me, and the final mission is befitting of an epic sci fi movie - so bioware really hit that mark they were aiming for.

Altho, having said that, I was rather pissed you couldnt go back and complete outstanding sidequests, so rather than play through with another character (I for one was left distinctly unimpressed by the character customization) Ive carried on from an earlier save and focused on side quests only.

[Tovette]

Yeah I just finished it tonight. The last few missions up to the ending were serously epic. And the plot twist ruled. I really enjoyed the story.

I too was upset that you couldn't keep playing to wrap up undone missions...

I think I'll play it over this time as a woman character and try to fill up my Rebellion meter this time...

[HawkMan]

OMG, I'm just at thePeak 15 facility and restored the memory core. and as the elevator comes back up the VI is back online and asks "It looks like you're trying to restore the station, would you like some help?"

and one of the response options is "Crap, a pop-up."

I love BioWare

[Tovette]

really? I must have missed that part... I'll have to keep an eye out for it when I get to that part of the game with my female character.

[HawkMan]

oh pretty great ending, nice how they make the ending so good despite all the choice you have to affect it as well, I suppose I would have entirely different choises again had I ended as a paragon(mostly, those damn paragon points can be hard to avoid )

so who did everyone pick ? I went with Anderson, military might FTW got chills when they switched to the pick of shepard with the planet background.

[HawkMan]

And dammit,t he ubisfot team that did Assassin's Creed, pay attention THIS is how you end a game AND leave it open to sequels. instead of leaving the player hanging with nothing.

[Tovette]

Yeah the ending is awesme. It's so much like a movie. I really go into the game from Ilos on to the ending. On my first run through I got a paragon achievement and I did a soldier as a survivor of a crisis.

This time I'm playing a female biotic who slaughtered everyone durng a mission. I'm also going to fill up my rebellion meter this time.
