Sweet looking weapons!! (Mass Effect) [UPDATED WITH PICS]

Okay! You have seen the screen shots, watched the videos....Time for a verdict....... HOW ABOUT THOSE MASS EFFECT WEAPONS?!?!!?!? Sweetness! The giant lasers, missle launchers, and that Science based magic thing, looks great! This game will be SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Good! Even if it is a 1 player, I will be picking this up!!! :D **** Updated with pics!

Question: Do you feel the same way about Shadowrun? killercuts3

I obviously dont think shadowrun is on Mass Effect's level, but I'm excited for it.  I'll pick it up.

If Mass Effect is really only single-player and under 25 hours long, it will flop. Every next-gen shooter must have online functionality. People complain about Shadowrun's connectivity with PC gamers and complain about how it is essentially online-only; but seriously, a game without multiplayer is not worth the full price because it will only last you the time it takes you to beat the single player and to get all the achievements. You can't reap much out of a single-player-only game. killercuts3

No. SP > MP imo. Relying solely on MP to save a game is wearing thin on my nerves. 15+ hours and it's worth the price of admission, since 360 games of late are less than 10 hours long with varyingly well/not-so-well implemented MP.

Multiplayer lasts, single player doesn't. Face it, it's a blatant fact.

Not really. Unless it's amazingly awesome. Amazing SP > Meh MP. You're neglecting the art of story telling in games. I don't just buy games to play with people online, I want an experience.

this game is an RPG first, with a shooting game mechanic. so it shouldn't be viewed as a shooter like GRAW and Gears. having that said... Square-Enix has been doing well when it comes to SP only games. like a book, just going through a game once is well worth the price if the story and gameplay flows smoothly.

Yeah, Oblivion doesn't really last does it?  And by the way, Mass Effect's main story takes about 40 hours to beat and about 75-80 hours total of gameplay.  And may I also mention its a trilogy?

It may be 40 hours long, but you can damn right assure yourself that people will be playing a multiplayer for a whole lot longer than 40 hours. By the way, Oblivion took 6 years to make, and until the "trilogy" is complete, then maybe you can compare it to Oblivion.

Oblivion took 4 years to make, it was started in 2002 after they finished Morrowind and came out in 06. Look Im a BIG Elder Scrolls fan but I believe Mass Effect will be a better game than Oblivion.  I've read into Mass Effect a lot and I haven't found one thing I didn't like about the game.  This game is not going to flop, I honestly think its the best game coming out this year even with Halo 3, GTA IV and many others.  Single player does last, its lasted since videogames started and it continues to last today.  Multiplayer is just an added bonus.

Wow! Looks neat! I think Mass effect will be better though. It's star wars, meets, GRAW 2, meets, starfox. It's gonna be great! That vaporising Shotgun? That is the first weapon I am going to try and make! Watching that on the trailer had me drooling!Robbie8912

Haven't you read about this game? It is an RPG! It's huge! You hunt for weapons, you exploe dozens of planets. It will be VERY longRobbie8912

I think you are setting yourself up for disappointment there.  This game will be like 40 hours MAX.  I am guessing the length will be similar to that of KOTOR (one of my favorite games of all time).  Regardless of length, Mass Effect still looks amazing and I really can't wait for it.

Alright! Updated with pics! The science based magic, is just..... Wow!Robbie8912

 haha This guy most own stock in Mass Effect or something.  But I agree with everyone else I really do think it will be a great game.  I would rather it just stick to and focus on a very solid single player than through in a slppy last minute mulitplayer.

If Mass Effect is really only single-player and under 25 hours long, it will flop. Every next-gen shooter must have online functionality.

hey man. its well worth the money for the single player only! think about the entertainment value of a movie. about 2 hours for roughly $20. with this game (if you're right about the 25 hours thing) you get 25 hours of entertainment for $60. now if you were to spend enough money on movies to get 25 hours of entertainment you would have to spend $260!! now you tell me this game is a waste of money!

No, it all started when the one poster said that Shadowrun is a rip-off because it costs full price for online-only and only 9 maps. Ignorance like that can't go unchallenged. And by the way, I download my movies, since I hate much of what Hollywood has to offer and often I have to search for a good film (instead of paying to watch a bunch of movies that don't appeal to me) which is hard to find in NA since if it was allowed into America Hollywood would look like a sell-out. This is off-topic, I know.

So you are a movie pirate? God help you if you get caught

You're forgetting that there's going to be episodic DLC inbetweent games, which Bi0ware stated will be quite sizable in content. If you just want to play the main mssion this game will last you 30-40 hours, however the side quests and just gawking at the scenery could stretch this out to 100 hours imo.

Plus replay value, you could choose a whole nother class & customise your character to look completely different, With a different voice, go through the game with a different bunch of NPCs, your choice of dialogue, will have different repercussions that affect the game intirely, also you've got multiple endings that stem from your different playing styles.

Worth $100 Australian dollars?  You bet!

Worth watching, even if you've seen it.

You obviously don't know how P2P systems or torrents work, or how crackdowns on these sites work. On a side note, have you ever downloaded music before? If not, bullsh1t.
