I heard Bioware games are short. Is this true? How long do the games usually last?RickyStackz
God no, the shortest one was Jade Empire, and that was probably 20 or 30 hours long. The main thing though is the replay value, I'm pretty sure I played through KOTOR 4 or 5 times in a row.

GOTY confirmed yet? So with the new rating scale, is this going to score a 9.5 or a 10? This game is truely revolutionary. The attention to detail is amazing... and they plan to continue the story between episodes with DL content..

After seeing the video I'm starting to lean towards 10. Before I wouldn't have said so because Bioware games have never been graphical powerhouses but Mass Effect looks incredible. I honestly wouldn't be surprised if we see 3 or 4 10's this year, let alone this gen.

I'm thinking it going to bomb like Jade empire did made by the same peoplezachdragon
Full on fanboy. Why post anything at all? You know nothing about Bioware, you have never played Jade Empire, you haven't looked at the scores for Jade Empire, but you do 'remember' something from G4 and what some fanboys said a few years ago. Brilliant. Kz, Halo, MP3___________(insert game name) all suck....I know cause I heard it from some fanboys...I think. See how that works?
Guys I never seen the GS score for Jade empire I was going by what I've seen on G4 and some people on this board a couple years agozachdragon

I just bought the book for two pounds on an impulse buy. :P I hope its good. I did the same thing with the first Halo book and went on to buy all four because they were so awesome.Ninja-Vox
I read the book and thought it was very good. I do not read sci-fi books really I read more fantasy like Forgotten realms but I thought it was a good book.

Just speaking of length, the game is so large they're having difficulties with testing because even their entire testing team combined hasn't played every single thing there is to be played. To say this game lacks content is to say GTA lacks crime.

When the project lead doesn't even know the numbers, you know its big. That was an awesome quote though. "Well between MS and Bioware QA we're hoping we'll get a full playthrough".

Actually, Mass Effect's being developed more by the KOTOR team (what with key figures like Casey Hudson and Drew Karpyshyn behind it) then the Jade Empire team. FYI, KOTOR's the highest rated RPG on Gamerankings so I think we can assume that Mass Effect will be a fantastic title.

All Bioware titles have a heavy focus on replay value; however, this doesn't mean that they're necessairily short. KOTOR took approximately 40-50 hours for the main quest alone; Jade Empire (being basically 80% action / 20% RPG) was significantly shorter, taking approximately 20-30 hours to complete.

I believe Casey confirmed the main quest to take 30+ hours in Mass Effect, with hours approaching 70+ with sidequests and additional content. Even then, Mass Effect has branching and choices... so to experience the entire game, you may have to invest several hundred hours. If you watch the demo, you'd see how even the project manager has no idea how much content is in the game. Heck, he said they'd be lucky if both the Microsoft testers and Bioware testers could get around to everything.

Ya when I heard that it brought a smile to my face. Seems I will be playing this game for a long time. Which I am glad to many games are getting so short and for $60 I do not want some game that is 10-12 hours

Wait, I wanna sound like a Lem for a second:

It'll have great visuals but what about gameplay? This game isn't that impressive...just KOTR without the jedis and lightsabres. /sarcasm off

Yeah, I'm excited for this game. By the time I move to my next place, this game will be out and my next roommate will have a 360 I'll play it on.

It looks like a great game, I agree. The graphics are amazing, absolutely amazing in some places but a little underwhelming in others.

I hope it comes to PC. If not, I may consider a 360, basically.
