[360] Mass Effect

I just picked this up again used $13! and man it runs so much better off the HDD... I am really enjoying this and forgot that this deserves to be right up there with "best of" graphics IMO

really enjoying it so far as I never quite got 1/2way through the first time
 
Darn it.

I've had the game since the week before its release and it is still shrink wrapped.

I had some time to start a new game this last weekend, but started with Fable II instead.

Even if I wanted to, I don't have any room on my HDD. This is my next game to at least start. I also need to finally finish MGS4.
 
Ha! I'm level 35 and just realized last night that you can use more than one ability at the same time.

I finally figured it out because I thought adrenaline boost was used before using your skills to lengthen them and reduce their cool-down time.... then, I was re-reading it and realized it was supposed to be used to RESET your cool-down time so the skills could be used again immediately.

Putting-two and two together, I figured it out. I always thought I had to choose between using overkill and killing people or shield burst / immunity and being defensive...

Last night I realized I can use assassination, rush in, turn on shield burst and immunity and overkill blow the hell out of everybody and then use adrenaline boost to rest all the other abilities.

Wow, just about made me unstoppable.... what a complete slaughter. Fun as hell though.
 
I played really few since my last comment but in the mean time I installed the game load time have been improved. I can't say more about the gameplay but there is already something that I hope will get most bioware attention for the rendition is the framerate, it's on the verge of not being good enough for me.
I really hope that they will iron out this side of the game if at the cost of lesser graphics improvements.
 
That suit'll look funny with your warthog, Nav.

Let me know how the DLC is, somebody was complaining on another board that it's really not any sort of mission and instead its very shallow and a waste of time?
 
So, it seems the movie is officially in the works at Legendary Pictures... It could be a good one, although I'm worried as we still haven't seen anything well done that's based on a game.

But at least there's already something to laugh about :)

(and why to they have to spoil one of the best twists in the press release?)
 
D/L the overlord DLC yesterday. Surprisingly... it took me about 2.5 hours on casual (lvl 30, char roaming the galaxy after end of game).

Guess I spent a fair amount of time looking around for one of the achievements, but it was a nice environment. :)

A bit of a frogger with the hover vehicle in a couple spots.

Is it worth the $ in your opinion?
 
560 points? Whatever that is in Microsian speak... hum... I enjoyed it. But then I've been indoctrinated to Bioware Edmonton. *cough*.

Won't spoil anything, but it does help if you have the AI/tech related ppl, if you're on the harder difficulties. Nice environment when you're using the hover vehicle. Nothing too special, but just nice. Just another... somewhat lengthy... assignment. I suppose you could rush through it, but... eh.
 
speaking of ME2, a demo is now available for those who have yet to see what this is about. you play the starting mission and then I *think* the Jack mission.

To get a better frame of reference, what did you think of the Kasumi mission? While I don't regret buying it, I did feel that it was a bit lacking. I'm hoping this will provide notably more substance.
