Mass Effect - 13 hours in

Guardian UnLtd writes:

"This is hardcore. Mass Effect is out this Friday and 13 hours in I feel like I've barely scratched the surface. In the time it took me to finish Call of Duty 4 all I'd done is finish the tutorial, and pottered round the hub area chatting to the excellently depicted inhabitants. Thrill seekers will find the early stages slow going but then this probably isn't for them. The combat is more tactical than reflex, but Mass Effect is as much about the story as shooting. Anyway, the embargo lifts today but I haven't seen enough to do a review yet - so consider this first impressions."

"Mass Effect is an adult game and not because of the sex scene. It demands more of you than just sharp reflexes and if you let it suck you in then you may just be glimpsing one strand of the future of gaming."

Is opening at 11:00 tonight to start selling it at Midnight. They're giving an extra 20% on trade-ins towards the game as well. I guess I won't be getting much sleep tonight. ;-)
The only problem is my inlaws are coming Wednesday for Thanksgiving and that will dramatically cut into my gaming time.

I expected nothing and I'm still disappointed

Like with Fallout, it's starting to feel studios are using TV / Film adaptations when they have no game info to talk about.

toxic-inferno110d ago

I feel the same way.

I mean, how difficult would it be for them to release SOMETHING of substance? Another short trailer? A couple of proper hints? A short story set during the original trilogy, but focused on fringe characters?

Hopefully they're working so hard on the game that they don't have time. But still, with every passing year and so little to show, the franchise will be slipping further and further from people's minds.

Profchaos110d ago

Yeah agree it's almost a cop out since Dev times are 5 to 10 years just throw out a few seasons instead you get them done in a year

jznrpg110d ago

I still haven’t beat Andromeda. I am waiting for a lull of good games in my backlog

P_Bomb110d ago

So the TV show will take place after the OG trilogy. I wonder which ending they’ll use?

Rebel_Scum110d ago

Should’ve just posted a picture of an Elcor saying “regretfully, we have nothing to share.”

Good games but no Phantasy Star?

merlox1005d ago

Why do people forget Phantasy Star? That is one of my favorite RPG series. Another ther good but overlooked series is ,Y's.

anast1005d ago

ES3 set things off, it's a shame they got greedy and decided to cut corners so the executives could get huge pay days.
