"stunned silence across the room" at Mass Effect demo + new pics

And without giving away the details here, these sequences painted a picture of how a relationship with a pivotal character can unfold, as well as its shocking conclusion. After each demo, there was a stunned silence across the room as the group absorbed what they had just seen.

A number of people quietly asked me afterwards if it was possible to resolve the situation differently, assuring me that they would have found a more peaceful solution...they'll be able to do exactly that. In fact, the entire subplot that we showed will not even exist for players who make different choices early in the story!

So cows what now? This is proof people are loving the game and it's just after a demo!

To be honest... Im not a "Cow" but I love my PS3.. and Im going to jsut assume that "cows" dont really give a crap about mass effect. I dont know what your trying to prove here?

bu...bu...but teh graphics sux and teh action is lame! :cry:darklord888

They don't care, because they don't get it.

Anyways, this may just beat BioShock for GOTY. That is something to be proud of.

Then Cows are idiots... Seriously, I dont understand why people rip on each others games. Mass Effect looks great, Heavenly Sword looks great (yea you cant jump, but you cant jump in RE4 or Gears of War), Halo 3 looks great (not my cup of tea though), Mario looks great... I just dont get it...

Maybe the room was silent because the people fell asleep during the demo :)

But Seriously this game is gonna be awesome, will get a friend's 360 to play it when it releases :)

I am so hyped about this game. I could care less if it owns cows, it just needs to be in my living room....NOW!whoisryanmack

Too bad the game is filth compared to baldur's Gate 2. Like KOTOR was. gingerdivid

I can't wait for Bioshock, but IMO I still feel that is either Mass Effect or Halo 3 (My fav franchise,I still feel it is going to be quite amazing)that will get GOTY.

This game is going to be incredible on a lot of different levels. For one its an entirely new universe to sink your brain into, for two its from Bioware, for three its their precious baby they have been kicking around for years now. This latest demonstration makes it sound like they have taken the impact of your choices up to a new level. Should make replaying it much more interesting.

It's this game and Bioshock that make me glad I have a 360. Seriously, when will the PS3 get games like these? The games with "smart", truly immersive, and innovative interactive story-telling I mean. I could care less about graphics.

sorry cows, no mass effect for you :(. its ok to crygamergeekgeek

Not as if they can't own 360s amirite?

I keep going hot and cold to this game, the gameplay seems really dull and the framerate looks pretty bad. On the other hand I really enjoyed KoToR. Or what I got to play of it so I'm unsure really.

Hope the gameplay isn't as bad as KOTOR's or JE's. Finale-

KOTOR is one of the best games of last gen. :|

Beating the entire game by spamming flurry. Sounds like fun.

Seriously, I hope this game and Bioshock do really well sales wise, not because I want the X360 to do well. If these two gamessell well, hopefully moredevelopers will start developing "smart" games that push the story-telling envelope.

9.5 MINIMUM, people.

Will the 360 have 3 9.5/10 games this Fall? Lawd have mercy.

[QUOTE="gamergeekgeek"]sorry cows, no mass effect for you :(. its ok to crygingerdivid

That is all opinion. A lot of gamers don't feel like playing as a sock puppet or some other Ninty-looking love child.

Mass Effect is epic, and you can travel the galaxy in your spaceship, The Normandy. If someone doesn't want to play this game, there's something wrong.
