No I have not. As I said before, my internet was messed up and only worked with my Xbox once in a blue moon, and because of that I only got a month subscription when it actually connected. And I tried modifying my membership on the Xbox.com website but it wouldn't load! Any more pieces of help?

P.S: Also, do you have to pay monthly? I thought it was pay when you want, i.e you can have a month of Xbox Live, wai t amonth after that, then buy another month.

Cujo, I am observant, I use the Save feature a LOT. But whenever it does autosave, I notice it does it far too few times. Maybe about 20 in my runthrough. And I only rushed through it because I had two days to enjoy it, and now I plan on buying the game because of how amazing it was.

Also Roland, not necessarily, for example, Oblivion. I own that game, and on a speedrun, it took me about 13-14 hours for the main quest, almost double that of Mass Effect.

Edit: Shmiity, I have to disagree with you there. I only save when I believe I will come up to a hard fight, and because of that, it didn't break it up at all and I had a blast. :)

And if it's honestly too difficult, play on Casual, MUCH easier.

I agree with you there, not nearly enough autosaves. Also, what difficulty are you playing on? Playing on Normal for me was quite easy, only about 3 confrontations I had to switch the difficulty to Casual.

Edit: Cujo, I mean NOTHING. I just followed what I was supposed to do for the main story, that was it. But I didn't skip every conversation either, I did speak with quite a lot of people, and it is an amazing game world. I can't wait for the sequal.

I just wanted to let the community know about my opinion on Mass Effect. To be honest, it was a little bit of a dissapointment. Why? Well, it's a extremely short game if you do nothing but the main quest. I rented it for 2 nights from Blockbuster...And it only took me about 7 hours to complete the main quest. 7 HOURS.

But....Those 7 hours will be talked about for years to come, as Gamespot say (or soemthing along those lines). Also,it is important to mention that I did nothing but the main quest.It is an amazing experiance, just filled with a great story, likeable characters, and a unique dialogue system. The combat was quite enjoyable to me, as well. Also, to begin with, I did the romance side plot just for the Gamerscore, but in the end, I really started to care for Ashley. The bugs can easily be overlooked as well.

Well, that's my opinion, I'd probably give it something between 8.4 and 9.3 in the review I will write. But then again, I'm only 13, so I'm interested to see what you think.
