Mass Effect to me looks like the crappy graphics of Halo crossed over with a Star Wars sort of story. Don't get me wrong, I loved Halo 1, hated Halo 2's online mode, but "smoewhat liked the story"...Hate Star Wars, and this game just seems like its shaping up to be Knights of the Old Republic minus the Jedi's....

anyone else feel this way? I want a real good RPG, like Chrono Cross ish, or FFish to friggin come out. I find all these space cowboy RPG's lame, they don't feel like they have the deep stories with a close feel to the characters like FF7,8,10 did. :(

I'm hopinh Lost Odyssey, or The Last Remnant will at least bring that feel back.

Did you just use the words "crappy graphics" and "Mass Effect" in the same post :?

I think the game looks amazing, and if you want to play a JRPG go pick up Blue Dragon.

If you want a character-based story, go play JRPGs. If you want a 'hard' science fiction story, play Mass Effect. I personally like it when my characters are fighting for more than some internal motive.

This game is an RPG but made non traditional.  It has real time combat so its not you take a turn, enemy takes a turn.  I think you might not like it, especially since it is all scifi story wise like Star Wars.  Me, I can't wait for this game!

I'd give this game a second look if I were you. The graphics look amazing and the game looks nothing like KOTOR. The game-play and combat looks entirely different and I get no Star Wars vibe from it at all.

seriously dude if i were you i'd look into this game more, i don't think you could have got your assumption more wrong. Especially the "star wars" and "crappy graphics" comment.
