Mass Effect 3 - 3.6.12.

[CowboyMike]

I've never played any of these. I've never had anyone bring these games up to me. What are they about? What's so amazing about them that would make someone who knows absolutely nothing about them go out and buy one?

I've only had my XBox for just under 2 years now and I've honestly never had anyone mention these games to me.

I was told all about Assassians Creed, Fall Out, and Gears of War, and of course Call of Duty but never anything on this one.


So if anyone would be so kind as to give me some reasons as to why you like the game, what makes it a great buy for a person, I'd appreciate it.

The greatest thing about Mass Effect is the story. BioWare specializes and does an excellent job in making an intricate, customizable, chill inducing story. For Mass Effect, they created an all new sci-fi universe that is extremely deep and all encompassing. It truly is the best new from scratch sci-fi universe created, in my opinion, since Star Wars and Star Trek. The way we feel about Klingons and Wookies are the same way you'll feel about Mass Effect's Turians and Krogans.

It is an action RPG. Decisions you make have consequences down the road unlike any other game. It is truly the first franchise where a decision you made in the first game will have an effect on what happens in the third. If you're an *** to some random guy that asks for help, it might come up and bite you in the *** later. If you fail to win the affections of one of your crew, the final mission might not work out so well for them.

I've shown this game to a few of my friends and a couple of them didn't like it because they got a little bored with it at the beginning. It can be a little bit slow at first if all you like is Call of Duty and constant fast paced action. ME has detailed conversations and you spend some time going to places, but it also has tons of action. It's much fast paced than say, Fallout or Skyrim, which I personally did not enjoy playing too much.

Graphics-wise it's probably among the most realistic I've come across. They really do a top notch job quality-wise.

I would suggest strongly that you start out with ME1 and ME2 in order to get the full feel of it and so you can fall in love with your character and your crew. It really makes going into ME3 that much more special.

I'm going to look to pick up the first one at some point soon and check it out. Thank you for the feedback. It's much appreciated.

Answer my question you ME punks!

Answer my question you ME punks!

Sorry man. Haven't played the demo and won't. When I get the full game, I'll let you know.

I only play demos of games if I'm not sure I'm going to buy them. I won't play this one, because it's not in doubt. I've played ME1 and 2 so many times each it's crazy.

I'm a huge Bioware fan in general, and ME is my favorite franchise.

Bioware is the best game developer going right now.

Everything they release is great. DA2 is the weakest release and it wasn't exactly a bad game.

The game is finished so it's kinda frustrating waiting another 2 weeks while they go crazy marketing it. Launching copies into space and stuff like that

Bioware knows what they are doing.

EA and Bioware didn't want to release ME3 in December against their own game SW:tOR. It makes sense, and I'm glad. I'm still going hard on TOR, but at least I already got my main guy to 50. Now I can just ignore everything except ME3 for a while when it comes out. =)

Less then a week for US release exactly a week for Europe

starting to get pretty excited now, the launch trailer just added to that

I bought Mass Effect 2 for PS3 on a whim one day while browsing GameStop with a buddy. He was like oh, wow Mass Effect 2, how'd I miss that (he played the first one on XBox) and I was like, what the hell, I'll try it.

Best. Game. Ever. Easily the best $39.99 I ever spent.

Speaking of games, Mass effect is a great series, but the best IMO is Half-life, hands down. Anyone know when the new HL is coming out?

 

[Baileyneverfailey]

I already pre-downloaded ME3 Digital Deluxe from Origin today. Ready to rock.

And HL2: Episode 3 will come out eventually. It's been an insanely long time since ep 2, and there's still no official word.

Where are you going man? I'm sure you will have more fun out of the country :laugh2:

lol.


Ahhh kids.


There has never been a game, and there never will be one, that I need bad enough to bother with going to a midnight release.

The PC version can be downloaded. There is absolutely nothing that is entertainment that I will wait in line for until midnight to get it. /hellno

Couldn't agree with you more there.

Pre-ordered the Collector's Edition (or is it Reaper's Edition) about six months ago. Currently running through another play through of ME2 in preparation. I'll be at gamestop with my N7 hoodie and t-shirt on to pick up the game.

I've never been a demo guy and I don't plan on downloading this one. I'd rather save all the surprise for when the game comes out.

I've been following all the BioWare people on twitter and it is a blast. Casey Hudson has answered a couple of my questions and retweeted me.

Mass Effect is by far my favorite video game series of all time.
