Mass Effect. Don't you see where the 360 lacks in this title?

The characters of Mass Effect are blasphemously amazing. However... Don't you feel like the games presentation deserves much more for the enviornments? You can post pictures if you want, showing how amazing the backgrounds are. This is a great example of a title or system that would benefit from larger size disc capacity. The textures on the enviornment are not in the same universe as the characters. There will be no destructable enviornments, or even dynamic lighting. They are very low resolution compared to the rest of the game.

Great example of evolution here from earlier 360 tiles to later.

It is safe to say that Mass-Effect has great character models, as far as visuals. Thats it. Should still be a fun game. I'm sure GS will give it 8/10. No idea how it can get a better score than halo3.

Actually, what's quite boring are PS3 sales. Nevermind how boring it would be to own a PS3 and have no good games to play.

Compare GT5 car models to the environment. Now discuss this in relation to PS3 with a HDD and BD. Care to revise your original title/post now?

Once again, games with amazing graphics like Lair and HS flop. I'll stick with an epic RPG like Mass Effect, kthxbai!BioShockOwnz

79% on metacritic does not equal flop. It is one of the most graphically intense games. BOTH characters & environments. The game is 10 hours worth of it as well. Is it fair to call all games with 79's flops? Take a look at metacritic, you'd be surprised at which titles are average.

Lair is the worst game that I have ever played. Controls are fine though, Read IGN's review of the game before it was released, to where they praised the sixaxis controls. The problem with Lair, was that it should have been one of those old Sega CD games to where you just do stupid pointless things in between timed Cinematics.

I don't even think you read the thread.

Mass-Effect would have benefited from more space on the DVD, The entire package of characters + Amazing Environments would only be a plus, not a bad thing.

One second there is praise the graphics.. the next 'graphics aren't important.'

The only thing wrong with mass effect is the lack of emotion in the characters faces during the conversations. Otherwise, it's pretty rock solid from what i've seen.

We go by Gamespot in System Wars. Metacritic is useless here. Both Lair and HS are flops.

Mass Effect is fine as it is and looks outstanding in videos. I have no doubts about it.

Mass Effect Looks AMAzing, too say otherwise means you have read little to none on it, or you just don't like RPG's. This looks to be one of the most epic RPG's made. Once again, if you disagree, read up on the game, go ahead, give it a shot. And then prove me wrong with a game that looks better than this. I mean I can understand someone just not being able to get into the game, but to say it will not be epic, or will be boring or suck, would mean you're nothing more than a blind fanboy

WTF!!!!! No destructible environments and they don't look as good as GeoW or other FPS!!!! Good thing that this game is an RPG and not a FPS, huh? Next time you decide to talk smack about a game you could at least learn what genre it is first. Bioware makes WRPGs and damn good ones at that. Take this nonsense thread elsewhere. P.S. Low res textures are more indicative of lack of memory, not disk capacity, but that's a completely different topic.

Heavenly Sword isn't a flop - it just didn't meet expectations. It fell a bit short of them, but it's not a flop. It's a fun game to play, just too short. Graphics are good though. Sounds is good. Music is good.

Lair, however, is an utter and complete flop. Make no mistake about it. It could have the best graphics ever, and it would still be a crappy game because of the horrible gameplay.

I enjoyed it to, played in a friends house one day. and sadly beat it in the same day, IT WAS TOO SHORT.. So I have a question... does anyone know HOW long is MASS EFFECT?? And not what developers say because they always make is sound like it longer than it actually is.

Yup the textures suck, something a lot of other games get put down for.

Although to me the game doesn't have many other redeeming qualities unfortunately, the character models are nice if a bit lifeless.

Nope, we're talking about graphics. Graphics don't make a game better and I mentioned Mass Effect. You didn't mention the topic at hand, therefore you are the one who's off topic. Good day! :)

The thing that bores me to tears in Mass effect is those cut scenes where they talk for flippin ages, it's like watching a bad episode of Star trek. It had better have very good gameplay or I'm gonna pass on it, I don't care how realistic the characters look, the game itself looks dull as hell to me so far, to many menus, to many cut scenes, to little action.

I've heard anywhere from 20-40 hours for the main quest. With all the side quests it will probably go up to 40-50 hours. I expect most people who actually finish it will do some side quests in probably clock in around 30-40 hours.

No denying, every Bioware RPG I got was so much fun, Kotor, Jade Empire, I don't know of any other series they have, but based off what I know there's no denying this game will get AAA, I wish they'd give us PS3 owners one though...

With so many poly's used on the characters, its expected that the environments won't look as good. They still look good.

They kinda move like robots in-between sentences but while they're acting its extremely lifelike in my opinion. Maybe its still being polished? Some of the scenes in the latest character profile video animate smoother.
