Anyone getting Mass Effect?

Finished first playthru, ended up being lvl 33. Well worth buying.

Got it, starts out slow, but I\'m really engaged in all the missions now.  I\'m going to really get into it over winter break.

PC version. I heard there was a shit-ton of problems with the 360 version, slowdowns, texture pop-in, glitchy etc.

Yes, because there is a PC version, right? Oh wait.......THERE ISN\'T.
Dumbass.

As for problems, "shit-ton" is abit extreme. Yes, there was some slowdown, but that is about it. I played the whole game, TWICE without a single freeze up or big glitch.  There is most certainly a lot more big titles out there with more serious glitches than Mass Effect.


As for the slowdown, that isn\'t a glitch, it\'s just the engine. It\'s a problem Bioware has had with every single game they\'ve made and I doubt it\'ll be fixed anytime soon.

While I wouldn\'t count on it, a PC version isn\'t out of the realm of possibilities. It certainly wouldn\'t be coming out for quite some time though and who is to say the PC version would fix any of the issues that the 360 version suffers from?

KoTOR was just as buggy on the PC as the xbox, at least from my experience.

I Plan on picking this game up along with a 360 over christmas break.

I would say, eventually a PC version may happen, but to say and wait for the PC version is absurd. There is no guarantee there will be one and if so, it will be at least two years down the road.

KOTOR and Jade Empire both suffered the same exact problems. Bioware makes great RPGS, but on the technical side they are usually lacking.

Got ME from my brother. pretty fun game, but i kind of get impatient with figuring out how to do stuff so i use trial and error a little too much with new games..mainly with this cover system. but ill get the hang of it

i\'ve only gotten to the train station and the story\'s already interested me/suprised me. and i\'ve been liking the dialogue stuff a lot..combat does seem kind of the weaker point..i like the gun battles but it just seems like it\'s missing something

The combat is beyond weak. You can go through the whole game without knowing anything about upgrading your weapons or the biotics. I know, I did. My first playthru, I went in each mission, shot stuff and advanced. Ended up beating the game that way also.

i dont even think im doing biotics..think i just did soldier this time around. next time ill do vanguard er something.

Usually ill play the game the first time exactly how i\'d play it, with no achievements or anything like that in mind. then ill play responding like a dick and what-not.

and i think im going to have a hard time keeping my teamates alive,lol. i\'ve already lost one..going to suck when i have people i want to keep..probably end up not using them till the end

im not really getting the combat system..maybe i shouldve done something with biotics, but 1) my teamates just stand there and take it/never do what i want them to do (whenever i say \'go here\' they go there, and then start following me around) and 2) I keep getting overwhelmed with people running at me and eventually i die. the biotics guys just keep knocking me down since theres like 10 at a time running at me

22 hours, level 45 guy on my first playthrough.

kick ass game

not sure if im going to do all the side missions again though..i\'d want to but i cant imagine spending 22 hours for every playthrough to get all the achievements. just not sure how to get different endings, and i guess side missions differ in who you pick as a character

i played for two hours, sent right back to gamefly same day.
