Great deals on 2 great games!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

For some reason it's 30 bucks on my Steam, stupid region pricing.

Damn good deals. However, kinda disappointing that they don't come with the DLC.

Good games but a little overrated. I liked em - dont get me wrong - the first one especially but I feel like they could given a little more. As for the sale itself - I also wish it was some other games. lol. Gamesterpheonix

What's the general concensus on Mass Effect 2? I'm definitely going to pick up the first one, but is ME2 worth playing? Thanks.

I think most people agree it's a great game. If you like end up liking ME there's a very good chance you'll enjoy ME2 as well. A few changes, some good (eg. better combat system) some bad (eg. RPG elements scaled back) but the gameplay and overall style are very similar.

Of the two, I personally prefer Mass Effect. But that's not an opinion shared by all, and I still think Mass Effect 2 was great.

EDIT: There is a demo for Mass Effect 2 if you want to try it. I don't know how spoiler-filled it is, though.

Totally forgot to check today. Thanks mate. :) I'm gonna go ahead and grab another copy of Mass Effect 1. Too cheap to pass up. And I'll gift it to a friend of mine. :D Thanks!Elann2008

Done the same thing. Mass Effect 1 irresistible at that price.

Awesome, thanks for the advice! I went ahead and bought both of them. Kudos! :)JN_Fenrir

You might need to perservere with ME 1, the first hour or so is very dry but once you get off the Citadel the game really does open up. I remember when I first played ME 1 I got bored of it during the Citadel and left it on the shelf for several months before revisiting it.

yea I was really bored when I tryed ME1 I only played for an hour or so and stopped. Then when I got ME2 I played it till I beat it and it was pretty fun. I need to go back to ME1 sometime.

Is Mass Effect 1 worth for 5$?murekkep

Nice, thanks for the heads up. I definitely don't mind "dry" at all, unless... Wait, it isn't like the first hour of Deus Ex, is it? :P Nah, I'm excited as hell to play it. :DJN_Fenrir

Nah it's just a lot of walking around and talking, on my first playthrough of ME 1 I absolutely despised the first hour or so on the Citadel. I wanted to get out there explore the galaxy instead I had to faff about with all this intrigue rubbish. On subsequent playthroughs I came to appreciate the way the 1st hour breaks you into the game but for a first timer the 1st hour can be off putting.

I don't mean to diss ME 1 it is my favourite game along with ME 2 which is quite an achievement because like I said when I first got it I chucked it on the shelf and didn't touch it again for several months. I really thought it was that bad but now I love it.

Ah nowt wrong with that the_ChEeSe_mAn2 probably one of the great things about ME 1 is that you have a great deal of freedom in how you can play it. I just wanted to raise the point that any one buying ME 1 shouldn't make the same mistake I did when I first got the game ;) .

Now whenever I play ME 1 I always spend a great deal of time on the Citadel to make sure I have everything right before I scoot off and bring order to the Galaxy. However my first time I was like "oh shut up Udini, god when do I actually get to kill something ?".
