I actually never played it, but my brother just got it three days ago and he already beat it. He didn't even play it that much. So don't believe any hype about how vast the game's galaxies are. Personally I'd like a game that's a little longer. I'll remain neutral until I play it.
umm this game is long. He probally just did the main missions. I did that my first time through because I wanted to make sure that I could beat it before I returned it. (It took me 11 hours). Now I'm going through it again with the same char (level 34 at beg of game :D) on harder difficulty (for achievements of course!), and I plan on doing ALL the side quests. Including side quests (which are just as much fun as the main missions) I expect to beat everything in 40-60 hours, easyI actually never played it, but my brother just got it three days ago and he already beat it.

While it's not quite the same, you can "beat" Oblivion in less than 10 hours.
Mass Effect has about 15 hours of side quests, lots of star systems to go to. As well, Bioware games involve a lot of talking, so if he was trying to rush through the conversations that might be part of it too (you can't skip dialog, but you can avoid asking about some things)
Thumps up for sure, 19 houres and its very addicting. deffinatly taking a second run through. Many of the side quests are very good and have interresting story lines. While i dont know how much of the main story is left, i would think i can finish it in 4 houres. I havent takeing that many side quests though, well i have but still i have plenty left to be completed, and then the main storyline ofcourse.
Why do u say that??Do you want attention or something??Thumbs down for sure.
That game sucks.

Yes you can, you press X button ??? I just beat the game last night... 17hrs, played a lot of the side quests, but I DONT think they're nearly on par with thequalityof the main quest, thats crazy talk. Got bored with them, so I went to Virmire and went on the game's final run. Really good game, but too much repitition for liking... 8.5 is a reasonable score, definitely gets a thumbs up (if thumbs up represents a game that must be played).
On a side note, did anybody else think driving around was cool for the first 5 minutes, and then cra.p after that?
Both thumbs up.
It's a really fun game, it's addicting, it's revolutionary. It's a lot different from the standard fare of RPG's.

I agree. It's an amazing game. Frame rate is a bit annoying, but the game is something special. I was floored with how good it looks too. It's almost like I'm not playing a videogame.

Mass Effect is not GOTY. In fact its not even 9.0 (AAA) material.
1. Paragon is fun, Renegade is just a jerk thats no fun to play as. Oh wait everyone will have the same dialogue reactions whether your paragon or renegade oh YAY!!!! At leeast your character will say something different, 1 out of 10 times. WTF is that!
2. Story is short, story is told in three plot worlds. Its just thrown at you on those worlds, other than that there is no main story. They should have spread it out, made it longer, and made it a much longer RPG stroy and mystery.
3. Side quests are lame, gonna go drive across a barren planet that looks the same on every planet, then drive up to the same building i drive up to on every planet, to kill the same kind of enemies i kill on every planet. rinse and repeat
4. Inventory management, omni gel, money, is all a joke
5. did i mention that the dialogue options are a joke and cover up piss poor writing?
6. Graphics SUX!!!! Yup, make a different model than the defualt model and youll see polygon displacements, look anywhere other than teh faces and you'll see low polygon models. Texture pop in, clipping issues, audio issues.
The thigns I love about Mass Effect is the combat. Its tactical, intense, and skill advacement and leveling is fun and well balanced. very RPG **** yet very real time. Best RPG combat system ever imo.
Bioware should have released it in a year, and made it 40 hours longer (i beat it in 15 hours on hardest difficulty 100% side quests) with no glitches and more varied ROLE playing elements like tehy advertised.
Mass Effect is nothing compared to KOTOR. Kotor has personality everywhere you went, the choices you made affected characters greatly, even no name NPCs. The quests were original and entertaining acroos beautiufl landscapes and colonies (not barren planets like Mass Effect with generic buildings everywhere)acidBURN1942
hahaha, that post made me laugh alot.
Mass effect is a fantastic game.
you made me laugh a lot at your counter point to my arguement. Which was none. Seriously people I want to discuss these issues I have with the game in an intelligent way, I know sometimes the internet is not the place to go for intelligence but amuse me someone eh? Someone willing to debate the GREATNESS of Mass Effect.

Dont get so defensive and angry, damn its just the internet. Like you i say my opinion.
Mass Effect >>>>
and i found your post hilarious. end of story.
A few shortcoming dont take away from this amazing game in my opinion.
This is the best game ive played in the last 5 years
One Thumb Up, Two Thumbs Down (im an alien)1. I agree, there is really no depth or anything to the good or evil thing. After KOTOR, I expected better. 2. I have't finished the game yet, so I don't know. 3. More or less... I like exploring to some extent though. 4. Inventory is a ain in the ass. 5. I disagree, I think the dialogue is great. 6. I haven't experienced any problems like this... I think you're over exaggerating how great KOTOR is at the end there....

Yet you thought Lair was 10 game. I think I can easily disregard anything you say as nonsense.
Up.
Despite the twitchiness of the visuals I love the game. Especially the combat. The acting is also great.

Thanks. That makes my point even stronger :)
One Thumb Up, Two Thumbs Down (im an alien)FInished it in 15 hours 100%, yeah right. No wonder you found the dialogue poor, you didn't even read it if you finished it that quickly. I agree on some points though, the planets should be a bit more varied rather than going to the same mine/base. The planets don't all look the same, the geometry is similar, they're all barren but...yeah ok they're pretty much the same. Graphics suck? What Godly lookng game are you playing for this to be so low by your standards? I do agree with renegade though, when I was a sith it was pure awesomeness, but getting to punch Emily Wong is priceless. It's still the best game on 360, a flawed masterpiece that can only get better in the sequel.
