Those idiots from 1up are a bunch of liars,they said that Mass Effect is only 12hrs and everyone here on system wars believes it,even though different people ands sites says its way longer but you stupid fanboys here are only going off of 1ups 12hrs long Mass Effect theory.Becuz Mass Effect isnt 12hrs long,i've been playing the game for 20hrs now and i only did about 5 main quest missions and about 10 side missions and im not even close to done with the game.Pretty sure those guys at 1up just rushed through the game.

But i dont reallycare,just wanted to clear that up with you fanboys here that thinks its suck becuz 1up says its short.

Off to play some more Mass Effect now.

Reviewers play games to get from start to finish so that they can write about it. Their play-through time is not universal, as it will depend on how you play, how much you do side-quests, etc.

FYI, the main game can be finished in 3 hours according the Bioware reps. That is a SPEED RUN, with combat on easy -- and running past all baddies that don't have to be killed :)

Tycho over at Penny Arcade finished the game in around 17 hours with minimal sidequests. Twelve hours sounds like a straight run through with no searching of any kind. It is quite believeable.

With cheats on which aren't in the retail version. You can't finish it that fast.

:lol: LMAO. Even though I was prepared, I didn't expect it to be that hard. I also did it first but that was after I did all the sidequests in the Citidel and did a bit of exploration. I played many RPGs and I know how to level up characters, so I upgraded my characters accordingly, increasing only the stats they're focusing on...So, in general, my characters are powerful...BUT OMG!!!! That last part in Noveria, LOL...Dman Asari's :P

You stop being fanboyish

MrPostman4Chi

Nobody said it was going to suck because of the length. They DID make fun of the length, but you are jumping to pretty ridiculous conclusions to justify your own fanboy outrage.

The reason reviewers only talk about main story length is because not everyone who plays the game is going to have the same length of time. Some people may play the game for 100 hours and still not beat it. Since it is impossible to take that into account, all anyone can reasonably do is talk about how long the main "meat" of the game takes.

Crying about this is just a waste of time.

no kidding :P it doesn't just take powerful characters, it definitely requires a bit of luck. my tactics didn't change every time i tried, but on the 5th of 6th attempt things just clicked. probably didn't help that i took Tali on that mission, she's ok taking down the Geth, but she just gets annihilated by the Asari Commandos :P

What im saying is when they said that the main quest is only 12hrs long they gave alot of people the impression that they would only be playing this game for 12hrs,and im just here to let you guys here on system wars know that is not short.I dont know whats outrageous by me letting everyone know its not gonna take them 12hrs to finish the game.

And like i said before i dont really care.
