Mass Effect: Very Immersive RPG Sci-Fi game

Dyre Straits · September 11th, 2009, 11:30 AM

I just picked this game up last night for $20 US at Micro Center and am having a hard time getting away from the game.

Anyone else as impressed with the game and story as I'm am so far?

It's a dell, alright XD

I have to find Mass Effect somewhere. We don't get many games here.

EDIT:
They have it on game.co.uk. 15 quid or 2 for 25.

In their multybuy offer the have also

Galactic Civilisations 2: Ultimate Edition
Dead Space
Mirror's Edge
A Vampyre Story (heard a lot good stuff about this one)
Battlefield 2142 (this is online only, no?)
Medal of Honor: Airborne (never got around this one)
Final Fantasy XI 2008 Edition (like the series on PS)
Assassins Creed (... only kidding XD)

I'm open for suggestions.

There is also a free DLC called, "Bring Down the Sky" for Mass Effect. There's also another one that sets the stage for Mass Effect 2. But, I'm just very near the beginning of the game. I've gained Spectre status and have just now left the main station, The Citadel, for other areas. I won't get to the add-ons for quite sometime it appears.

nCaine, what happened to your 'puter? ???

Well afted the flooding with beer by my girl 1,5 month back , i clened it , and it worked.

For 4 hours , then it die completly , i dunno mobo , rams , dunno.

I lost interest in puter moslty becos the only game i realy liked and played was Americas Army.
Have it now in Reality , I created ASG unit with my closest friends .

I got ARES G36K whit is amazing rifle out of the box with gearbox v3 , and many parts from top models.
Also is eazy upgrade wepon . It comes with integrated optical x3 scope.
It also comes with high torque engine , so the sund is great , you dont hear the engine staring and stoping like in cheaper guns.

And this is what i love now .

I finished the main quest of Mass Effect and then also just now completed the DLC: Bring Down the Sky.

This is a very cool sci-fi RPG and I'm likely to play through it again. I avoided way too many of the side quests as I focused on the main one.

I bought it not too long ago and I have to say it's an amazing game. I really like the whole space exploration setting. Going looking for minerals on planets, all the small side quests just make this game super immersive. I also just received my new monitor from Canadian eTailer NCIX. I got the LG W2343T 23" 1080P Widescreen LCD. Only paid $199 CAD with free shipping, so it was an amazing deal. Playing Mass Effect in 1080P (combined with it's ultra-immersive gameplay) is litterally jaw-dropping.

Currently, I have the Normandy as my Windows Desktop background.

I'm presently on my second run through this game. This time, I chose to be an Infiltrator.

I didn't realize [until after I had finished the main quest the first time] just how much of the whole game experience I had missed!!! I had barely touched on maybe 25% of the entire experience. So, this time, I'm taking the time to check out anyone who offers to talk to me AND to visit any and all of the planets and objects I see while within a particular area of space.

I also have not lost any of my comrades this time around. Somehow, I lost Ashley Williams in the first go through and discovered how that may have happened. On my 2nd run, she was knocked out during combat and I had tossed a grenade in her general direction to take care of an enemy. Just as she was getting up...after the battle was done...the grenade went off and killed her. This time, she couldn't be resurrected. I really didn't want to lose her so I started again from the last saved game and used my grenades more selectively.
