The Mass Effect Thread

[King Ellis]

Speeeeeeeaking of which, which Xboners are down for some multiplayer? @Kaney@LarsLars@Maxx?

[Monkey D. Lars]

Yessss

[Maxx]

My Mass Effect experience is about 10 hours on the first one so...probably not.

[King Ellis]

I can't bloody win with you, can I?

[Benji]

Please don't forget spoilers in tags! We don't get it til a week tomorrow

[Kaney]

I'd like to download it soon but I don't know when I'd have time to go multi.

My experience will be terrible!  Oh well I'm gonna have an awesome experience.

The wife is currently playing and I watched for about an hour.

Combat is a LOT faster than before. The melee attacks seem to lack heft. But I am liking the look of it so far. (Also, apparently the controls are super sensitive, she suggests dropping the sensitivity a notch)

[Your Mom]

Fuck I reached the end of the trial already. I have like 5 hours left! Damn your shenanigans EA! Why can't it be Tuesday?  

[Your Mom]

Screw it I'll use my 5 hours to randomly explore stuff on the planet. It's not like I have to stop playing I just can't go past a certain door

Lots of the review in progress and trial players have painted a very very dodgy picture of Mass Effect. Bad animations, bad voice acting, bad looking characters with soulless eyes and weird bloated faces complete with other weirdness. It has put me off quite a bit, certainly not going to day-1 this now.

[Your Mom]

I dispute the voice acting one. I think that has been pretty great. The others I could maybe see a case for. Still don't care though

[TMM]

Honestly I haven't noticed any animation issues but I haven't been looking for anything like that. One thing I will say is I thought the character customisation looks really dodgy, so much so that as soon as I saw my character in game I had to quite and start over again as the default female Ryder.

[Bobfoc]

Bioware has a track record of making characters with poor facial animation. That's not a great concern for me. As long as the story is good and the gameplay is adequate, I'd be OK.

You play mass effect for the story right? Not for the graphics? 

And when I played the first Mass Effect I felt the game sucked bad the first few hours, but you have to get deeper into the game to really see the world for what it is.

So, they limit how far you can go into early access? 

[Dan]

Played about 2 hours of the trial on Origin Access. Game looks really nice on ultra, few jerky animations but Mass Effect has hardly been known for it's animations anyway. Really enjoyed what I played anyway and pretty sure I'll be buying it.

[MDK]

I dunno what people are complaining about the animations for. I'm assuming that she really needs a shit.

Another tragic example of the rise of Zoidberg Culture in the distant future. Shameful.

[Saladin777]

I would blow through a ten hour trial. It would kill me to have to stop playing during the weekend. Just gonna enjoy Mass Effect 1 with a MEUITM facelift (plus ENB and SweetFX) and explore planets 'till Tuesday mercifully rolls around.

[Monkey D. Lars]

What training did everyone select? I might go with Biotic or Operative.
