Let's not get carried away here...

If you like unbelievably cliched, dorky and overblown Sci Fi bollox set in a 'let's rip off Syd Mead-and-hope-no-one-notices' universe with badly animated characters delivering endlessly tedious lines of dialogue (that there surely won't be enough of IMO)... Mass Effect will be your game.

But yes, uncanny valley symptoms aside, they did a great job with the 'digital actors' - one day they'll be as convincing as Chuck Norris.

You can go back to your limp wrist big haired pansy boy games that you call innovative and refreshing just because it's from Japan now.

You're entitled to your ass-****ed-sideways opinion, of course. I just think you need to get your ass beat with the ban-stick.

Don't like cliched and dorky? Well, you certainly picked the right hobby! The rest of us who can get over themselves and enjoy a hot Bioware RPG will be having fun while you sit in a corner and bitch.

Why would you be banned for stating your opinion?

Just because they have a different veiwpoint its time for a ban?

You guys are acting like conservatives.

Because of the arrogant, and self-righteous tone he uses to basically come in and try and shit on everyone's opinion maybe without showing one bit of knowledge on what exactly he is talking about?


I mean...there is that.

Of course not. He's not approved to post in this thread. Neither are you. It's time for a ban!

[emomoonbase]

Looks pretty damn nice.

 

[MattKeil]

As someone who actually saw the demo at GDC, I can honestly say that Bioware has made every game I own look boring. Mass Effect is #1 on my Most Wanted list with a bullet.

I wish I were you.

 

[FrankT]

Six classes confirmed;

Since it has been mentioned a few times at GDC and around the boards, I think it is now safe to confirm that we are going to have 6 character classes for you to customize your Commander Shepard to be as you play Mass Effect.

They are:
Soldier – Soldiers are Combat specific characters.
Engineer – Engineers are Technology centered characters.
Adept – Adepts are characters especially skilled with Biotic abilities.
Infiltrator – Characters who blend their Combat and Technical abilities.
Sentinel – Characters who balance using Biotic abilities and Technology.
Vanguard – Characters who mix their skills at Combat with their Biotic abilities.

We will have more on the different classes in upcoming updates. So stay tuned.

Thanks for the link - Vanguard sounds right up my alley...

Me Infiltrator! I kinda dislike force powers and all that magical mumbojumbo in games.

Anyways, can't wait!

Just ran across this, Mass Effect Limited Collector's Edition Box Cover, we're getting close now amigos;

http://news.teamxbox.com/xbox/12993/Mass-Effect-Limited-Collectors-Edition-Box-Cover/

Now, I really want to know what's going to be in the box.

 

[temp]

**** yeah! LE boxart is a ton better! Six classes = awesome! Come to me, my baby.



P.S. Every time I click "Gaming" I'm hoping to see a Mass Effect topic.

Gah! Collector's Editions! The bane of my wallet!

Time to preorder.

 

[Vyse The Legend]

I will buy this LE, and I will love it. Bioware owns my soul.

 

[Muppet345]

Gonna move my pre-order to that ASAP. Someone confirm when you can.

It's not listed in EB/GS website yet, but I'm sure it wil be soon. When it is, preorder get.

 

[bogg]

Oh jebus....
But I don't wanna buy a 360 this year damn you Bioware!!!!!1

 

[Big-E]

The day this releases is the day I buy a 360.

 

[rage1973]

I hope they announce the release date to ME and Forza 2 soon.

 

[Muppet345]

Same. Been looking for a deal since then, since it's inevitable, but hopefully they'll release that new SKU before the game.

 

[GhaleonEB]

I hope they announce the release date to ME and Forza 2 soon.

I'm hoping for a PR with the dates for the next round of titles from MS. The guys at the Shadowrun forums said that date would be announced very soon by press release. I want to see that, Forza 2, Mass Effect and Blue Dragon get dated. Stat.

 

[Ark-AMN]

Whichever comes first, this or Too Human will force me to buy a 360.

Hahaha, where did this come from???

god damnit...if I had a 360 this would be in my top 5 most wanted games...damn looks so great

peace

 

[MirageDwarf]

I wish that they give it cooler look. Something with light blue color or space background or something else.

I buying this.

 

[abacab driver]

Mass Effect makes me go

 

[Big-E]

Same. Been looking for a deal since then, since it's inevitable, but hopefully they'll release that new SKU before the game.

I was going to buy it at the PS3 launch cause Future Shop in Canada had an insane deal where you got like 6 games for the regular price but I couldn't bring myself to spending $1500 on video games in a single day. Also, do we know what is in the Limited Edition Box Set?

 

[SnakeXs]

The cover could be made in MS Paint and say LOL ME SUX 360 BOMBA and I'd still buy it gladly.

Says it all.

I still think it's an ugly cover, but I'm such a ****ing sucker for LEs, and I never regret it. =]

 

[bogg]

Is the NA boxart the same?

 

[Vyse The Legend]

Going to need a new wall mount, my friend. :lol

 

[FrankT]

Not sure, hasn't been revealed yet. I would assume, yes, but who knows.

 

[nelkon and parker]

Am I the only one who thinks that box cover looks meh? Also a little concerned that they have the same 3 characters we have seen hanging around in the videos. I was hoping we could choose our party from a range of characters. Is that still the way it is?, or was it even ever like this?
