lets CLEAR this up NOW!!!About this truly spectactular game.LEARN HOW TO PLAY!!!

Yes it has flaws yes it can run like ass sometimes.

Lets go back to Dues Ex man that is an alltime great and it had the same problems when it came out no matter what super computer you threw at it it was glitchy it's all because of CODING for a game so ambitious it will have some glitches.

Mass Effect has these same issues and it all so has the same thing in common it's a SPECTACULAR MASTERPIECE just like Dues Ex was.

Ok listen here guys if you think you can just go in guns blazing then man you need to dtick with Halo becuase this is not it.

But if you want a truly DEEP and EPIC experience with crazy good combat once you learn how to control your team and use them in force with precise thought out tactics. Then man you will be grinning from ear to ear saying this game ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This game can be AMAZING once you LEARN how to use your BRAIN and THINK out your tactics WISELY? I've gotten into some amazing fire fights that have lasted for over 20mins just going back in forth with methodical tactics and precision and smart thinking to take out the enemy who has me heavily out numbered. Plce you squad wisly use there skills wisely and take cover and man you are in for a TREAT.

I've seen so many people complain about performance isseus and such and most of this is caused by trying to go in guns blazing and getting you ass waxed by doing this and yes it can get a little choppy trying this. if you go at a smart tactical pace and use your head and position yourself and your team. The performance issues are almost non existent by doing it this way. AND HELLO this is the way you are supposed to be doing it anyway.

Need i even mention the graphics they are SICK PERIOD.

And the customization is very well done.

The stroy is AMAZING.

So if you can learn how to play this game and stop thinking it's HALO and going guns blazing and getting waxed and crying ahh i can just go guns blazing and it gets choppy and i die. Well your loss for being so impatient and not using your head.

Mass Effect is AMAZING learn how to play it and you will be BLOWN AWAY.

Mass effect is great, thats why I'm putting off playing it until they get a patch out that fixes the shoddy performance, including hitchy framerates and having the game pause and load every time I move 10 yards in the game even when I'm not in a combat situation.

I bet the patch comes pretty quick, maybe as soon as next month or so and to me thats a pretty small price to pay for more enjoyment of this stellar title.

Please folks let's not defend the release of unfinished games no matter how emotionally attached we are to them.

you really shouldnt compare mass effect to something like Dues Ex.cobrax75

No i was saying that Mass Effect has the same types on performance issues that Dues Ex did. it seems that Bioware should be able to patch it up good. I really dont think it's a hardware issue. just like Dues Exx it ran like ass no matter what super computer you had.

Are you trying to say people don't like the gameplay because it is difficult? All I have to do to win a fight is use sabotage, dampening and overkill in each fight and I've won. It's not a hard game.Sparky04

I'm saying the people complaining i think are the ones trying to go guns blazing all the time. And are not patient enough to THINK about your attacks and defenses, If you are patient then then ga,e becomes spectactular.

Were you an Infiltrator or Engineer, or did you use a squad members abilites? Just curious, as I just started my second run of the game, and I picked Soldier after being a Vanguard on my first play through. But I am wishing that I would have picked Infiltrator instead because of the tech abilites.

It's an RPG, you should be able to play it however you choose to play it without the performance dipping.

So how bad IS the framerate hitching and such? This is supposed to be the first game I get with my 360, the play copy running in my store seems solid when I stop and watch it. Is it gamebreaking in any way?

Learn how to play? Sounds like LAIR. Badly worded.

As for the game, unless you LOVE listening to people talk about often inane stuff, the game will drive you insane. I like that kind of interaction but many people do not.

Some people just don't like games with lots of cutscenes, long load times and crappy frames rates ok? Relax. I love Oblivion. It runs like ass but the game is so good I forgive it. I stopped playing some of the Metal Gear and Ace Combat games because they have too many cutscenes. Sure the action was good when it happened but when you watch 10 minutes of cutscenes that is too much.

I love uncharted because the cutscenes are short and they mix in a lot of dialogue AS YOU PLAY so you don't have to sit and watch people yak. Sorry, but a lot of people will probably pass on ME for that very reason.... i've seen the gametrailers video and to me I see too much talk, cutscenes, boring moon buggy rides, stupid enemy AI that charges right into your line of fire and not enough play.

He was comparing the bugs and stuff, not the game itself.

Yep, I totally agree.

When I first played Mass Effect I was annoyed at the combat: it seemed hard to control and I kept dying because I didn't know what I was doing. After getting over it and actually, as you put it - 'using my brain', I discovered a completely fun and addicting combat system that works as well as you will let it. I was actually looking FORWARD to battles which is absolutely unheard of in an RPG.

Now, as I've mentioned in another thread, Mass Effect is my favourite game of all time, and I've been gaming since the NES/Master System. I'm really glad I gave it a go, I can't sing it's praises enough!

So, it seems as if the Mass Effect Defense Squad is making nearly as many threads as the R & C Defense Squad. Next time, maybe the lemmings won't be such big asses... Nah, that won't happen.QuasidodoJr

Mass Effect is an amazing, unique experience.

R&C is just another platformer.

How can you even utter the two in the same sentence ? It's like washing down Caviar with Diet Coke.
