It is old, but then again, he makes great points, especially when comparing to Oblivion, which is just a vast enviroment.

Even if you hate G4, you have to like Sessler. He's the only real gamer left at the network and he's pretty entertaining to watch. I agree with him. Mass Effect is fantastic!

In before the "OMG G4 is for teh cazual nubs!"

Bad comedy aside, of course.

I hate voice acting -___-AntiType

Why? The only voice acting I would hate is if they gave Link or mario a voice....

EDIT: I mean actual lines of dialogue for the characters-I realize they do (especially mario) make noises.

Voices always disappointed me... FF games before X were o much better (in my opinion) and having to deal with horrible voices had a little to do with it. Even if the voice work is well done.. it pales in comparison to the imagination. I certainly prefer reading.

Ah, I see. I have a terrible imagination, so I would read all the voices the same.

But then he implies that Mass Effect was the first game to be presented entirely by voice acting. First game I can remember that did that was Half Life back in '98.

maybe he means the main character as well, and being able to influence the way a conversation goes instead of a predetermined one that will always be the same in every playthrough. but i don't know, that part seemed a little vague when he mentioned it. also, it's nice that they hired more than 5 voiceactors for the game (oblivion :P)

Thank you bioware for not releasing the PC version and making me suffer with dips below 30 frames per a second and half an hours wait times before all textures pop in. Other than that....cool.

If it's good VA keep it. Also for 2D games it's fine but it doesn't make sense for these high quality games to not have VA. It would look stupid.

When Sessler talks, I listen, he has an interesting and down to earth view on games, he understands them, researches them and isnt biased. X-play is okay, generally they do a good review of games, but the jokes are oh so corny.

I think his views on Mass Effect are spot on.

Why do you want a PC version? You made an entire thread about how you dislike the core mechanics of the game and feel cheated for having bought it.
