Whats so good about Mass Effect

Everyone i talked to keeps saying how great mass effect is. Well i played the demo and thought it was so so. I mean what makes so great? At one time i was thinking about buying it but not to sure on it. Can anyone give some good reasons why its worth buy? Thanks

great story! Fleshed out world. its great to be able to explore planets, have squad control, upgrade weapons, play fast paced shooting style, and upgrade your weapons and characters in tons of different ways.This is a game that is greater than the sum of its parts. its 15 buck used. go to gamestop you can keep a used game for two weeks. If you don't like it you can return it and get another game with the 15 bucks or pre-order something else.

It has very immersive gameplay for one thing. It has one of the best between-character dialogue systems ever created in a video game. It also has a really awesome story line, cool powers, and a lot of different environments to explore. I liked Mass Effect because it made me actually care about the characters I was playing with. You will sometimes be forced to choose which one of your team members lives, and which one dies.

takes about an hour to get into the good stuff, but its worth it.

OK thanks, well if i liked fallout 3 would i like this game since its a action rpg?

liking fallout 3 doesnt mean you'll like this, quite different, but i recommend trying it, it is a great game even if it takes about an hour to kick off properly

I just started playing it and I was really enjoying it until I got into the driving part. For me that ruined the game.

Mass Effect was Excellent,shame i got rid of it a while back.

My friend got bored of it after about and hour of playing and gave his limited edition copy to me :D

I enjoyed it but you have to spend a while getting into the game

Its a great game.

But its hard to play it more then one time, because then you really start to see the horrible framerates and texture popins.

Cant believe they actually released the game in that state.

Takes a while to get into, but once your in... your hooked. I've completed it three times now.

A better question would be "What's not to like about Mass Effect?" Seriously, you should go buy this game.

• Incredibly immersive story
• Detailed and fleshed out characters
• Moral choices that will progressively get harder to make
• Excellent combat(at least in my opinion)
• Long storyline
• Hours upon hours of side quests
• Squad combat/tactics
• Numerous ways to go through the story
• Upgrade your weapons and armor along with the weapons and armor of your squad
• Numerous worlds to explore
• DLC
• And lastly, it's made by BioWare. Honestly, it being made by BioWare is all you should need to know about a game before you buy it.

And liking Fallout 3, won't necessarily mean that you'll like Mass Effect. They're pretty different games.

its great because it has a good story and you can make your own decisions and very in depth character customization

the history and the way you make conversations

You can't possibly understand how awsome Mass Effect if from a DEMO. It's take a while for you to learn the combat and get into the story. Just buy it and play it. You will not be dissapointed.

Yeah i heard tho the driving in the game really sucks is that right?

You do know that vehicle has boosters on it, and you can jump over any incoming missles or bullets or what ever is being shot at you. It is really hard to get blown up in the Mako. and you can use your omni-gel to repair it duing battle.

• Moral choices that will progressively get harder to make
• Excellent combat(at least in my opinion) This one is known to be subjective but for the most part it's enjoyable although a bit.....off at times
• Long storyline
• Hours upon hours of side quests Bear in mind they do get repetitive
• Squad combat/tactics
• Numerous ways to go through the story
• Upgrade your weapons and armor along with the weapons and armor of your squad Inventory is annoying
• Numerous worlds to explore Most are same old, same old
• DLC
• And lastly, it's made by BioWare. Honestly, it being made by BioWare is all you should need to know about a game before you buy it.

Don't get me wrong, Mass Effect is my fav RPG this gen but I'm just going by general complaints and to not expect this game to be near-flawless like I first felt playing it.

I think the atmosphere is really good and overall it's exciting and fun at the same time. You'll get loads of firearms to use and heaps of places to visit and the game takes a while to complete and has great replay value.

Well im going to go try to find me a copy of it today and see how it is. Since there is a lot of good feed back on it. i should like it. Thanks to everyone that has posted a message about it. :)

Well i finally bought the game today and played it for a few hours and its not bad better then i thought. The only thing is its just to much walking around tryin to find this person and that person. I was kinda hoping for more action right way but i guess its going to take a bit to get really into it. One more thing way to many elevators lol.

the combat

It has very immersive gameplay for one thing. It has one of the best between-character dialogue systems ever created in a video game. It also has a really awesome story line, cool powers, and a lot of different environments to explore. I liked Mass Effect because it made me actually care about the characters I was playing with. You will sometimes be forced to choose which one of your team members lives, and which one dies.

the story the characters the depth

The splendor I see in Mass Effect is in the way everything is presented. Graphics look great, and it feels almost like a movie, only one where you play the action and choose how the plot goes. It's lengthy and expansive, as well as witty and cutting edge. Yes, there are some technical problems, and the combat isn't completely ideal, but it is worth a play, especially if you are tired of the same old- same old

yeah man i dont get all the hype around the sequel its just a rpg with gears elements and its too damn long or maybe im just more of a first person shooter guy

OK thanks, well if i liked fallout 3 would i like this game since its a action rpg?

SgtNumNum

It's an RPG that has action style combat, but it's not an action game. If you jump into it expecting Gears 2 with lesbian sex, you'll be disappointed. If you go in expecting a RPG you'll be pretty impressed at the RPG elements and will probably be surprised that the combat is actually pretty good.

the best wrpg 9.4/10

better than oblivionboring8and fallout3 ok 8.5

sorry hurt oblivion fan

This

At first I thought the gameplay was choppy and put it away....gave it another shot and once I figured out how to level up my team well the game starts to kick serious a$$...I played it as a soldier and just let my squad school enemies (they're like jedi except no lightsabers, but a shotgun works well in its stead)

Playing as a rogue is very cool...especially when you don't take any crap from the council....lets just say hanging up on the most powerful council in the universe several times leads to some great one-liners.
