Mass Effect Review Thread: Discussion

Yaboy is not completely off the mark, go look at previous GOTY winners. They tend to come from categories which arent crowded. How can you pick Crysis from Halo? or Cod4 from Vegas?

Nothing in the modern RPG genre comes close to mass effect this year.

Last years was GRAW1, there were plenty of shooters around when that came out.

COD and Vegas are completely different. Vegas is more tweakable and has more varied maps, you can cimb and rapel. You have a cover system, none of that 90's sidesteping. COD's a great game though. R6 has much better AI and a muchmuch better SP game.

Mass Effect may well win game of the year but I won't buy it because I have plenty of games sitting here waiting. I haven't even taken the wrappers of PGR4 and Assassins creed:D

I say again I don't know why people keep getting so het up about GOTY.
 
I've never trusted Eurogamer since they gave Mafia 4/10, the idiots.


But still, I'm looking forward to this even more now. Got Friday off as I'm going to see Bill Baileys "Tinselworm" on Thurs till late, so can spend all Friday on ME and GH3 ....

The frame rate issue was mentioned in this weeks 1up yours podcast where they said something like it frequently hitched up but didn't impact the game enough to ruin it. Also discussed how it doesn't play like a shooter and that felt odd to some of them that expected it to handle like one.

Overall looks like a very nice time sink.
 
That Game Trailers video review was awesome! I was still unsure as to what this game exactly is about but it gave me a decent, in depth idea on what to expect. It looks fabulous and I am glad that I have it on preorder.
 
All bioware fanbois knew this game would be great the min Bioware announced it.

Those with little faith

bah!!
 
LOL @ that chat choice ring image :D

From what I've seen the chat isn't as flexible as I thought it was going to be at first, take this made up example with 3 choices

"Why?"
"We need to get over there"
"I'm not going to let that happen".

It doesn't matter which you select, he always says "Why does that matter? I'm not going to sit by while X happens, we need to get over there right away" so it's only actually giving you the illusion of choice some of the time.


Of course it is very fluid and gives you great choice most of the time which is great, the thing that annoys me is the way they try to make you think you've got a choice in cases where you don't.
