Just seen this for £25 squiders, is it a worthwhile game to get over anything else?

i already have Halo 3 which i enjoyed greatly on the SP campaign and DMC4 which is ok. i love rpg games but not turn based, they seem to get boring quite fast, however i really enjoy playing stuff like The Witcher, knights of the old republic.

Will it last me quite a while? i enjoy playing a good game for a few hours then putting it back on the shelf for the weekend so i dont complete it too quickly.
 
I bought it, it was ****.

Over rated pap than people fawn all over because it's bioware. Crap story, crap dialogue, crap combat.

Those that have never touched a human women can get to simulate sex with an alien, so it's all good.

Each to their own but like wedgie I thought it was ****. The game has no pace, nothing to keep you coming back for more.

I find it hard to believe the people that made this **** made KOTOR.

Lol, couldn't disagree more.

Amazing game and one of the best I've played for years. Brilliantly paced, great atmosphere and a game I've finished three times now.
 
Somebodys mad :/

I'm never mad. It's the truth, I've yet to find anyone that can tell me the combat in this game is anything but half arsed. Its harder to die in this game than anything i've played.

I could do the combat playing the joypad with my feet. The Mako levels are only harder because someone who has never driven a vehicle before designed the driving.

Kids these days will play any old *****

indeed, my thoughts exactly

As I said each to their own :)

Paced? It has no pace other than stop. You have to ask half a million questions in each conversation to get any details. Hollyoaks has a more complicated story.
 
A truly great game can hold the attention of non genre fans as well the people it's aimed at. Oblivion did this for me, Mass Effect did not.

The story is what it is. It's a grand space opera and a consumately well written one. In truth I think you either know from the title screen whether this game is for you or it's one to miss and you should stick to hollyoaks ;)

Re pacing, the final hour or so is one of most well paced game experiences I've ever played. There's a real sense everything quickening; that an explosive climax, with you at the center is rushing you towards it. Even on my third play I still had goosebumps as the finale drew near.

To the OP, watch the trailers and teasers and if they don't get you excited it might not be worth picking up.
 
I thought the game was crap, well not really, but not as good as people make it out to be. Yet I've still managed to grind my way through it fours times now and even finished it on hardcore and insanity levels. I'm strugggling to go through it again to pick up pointless achievements.
 
A good game but not a patch on Baldurs Gate and even KOTOR. Too much history and not enough traditional locations such as towns/cities etc.
