Although I haven't played the game, my feelings are that a lot of people don't realize how big of a change it is to have everything there, instead of things seperated into different loaded areas. To me this just seems like it will make the game much more enjoyable. Also I'm not sure why people are mad that they stripped away content.. everyone knows.. or should've known that they were going to do this so that they could release expansions.

I'm not quite sure why anyone would buy one of these things..

A 17-inch macbook pro starts at $2799 while an Alienware M17x starts at $1799.. in fact the 15-inch macbook pro starts at $1999..

Already this is completely ridiculous.. but it gets even worse.

Here are the specs.

Processor- 2.93 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo
Memory- 8GB 1066 Mhz
Harddrive- 256GB solid state drive
Display- hi-res antiglare widescreen
Graphics card- nvidia 9600m GT

This all comes to $4,899.. although this is already a ridiculous price let's compare this to the M17x

The specs for one of these maxed out are

Processor- Intelcore 2 exteme quad qx9300 2.53 Ghz
OS- home premium 64-bit
Graphics card- dual nvidia geforce GTX 280M 2GB
LCD panel- 17-inch (1200p)
memory- 8GB 1333 Mhz
hard drive- 1TB
internal optical drive- duel layer blue-ray combo

All of this comes to.. ready for it? $4699
Quite amazingly the M17x comes out cheaper than a Macbook even with vastly superior specs.

Hmm.. something just does not seem right here, especially when you consider that the macbook would be even more expensive if you choose to have things like finalcut installed on to it. Now really.. I can understand why people might like apple's OS better than windows, but I cannot understand why anyone would shell out that much money for a laptop that's not worth it. Let's face it people, when you buy from Apple, you're paying for a brandname

Mass Effect

Play the demo. I was enjoying it until I got to the combat.. Something about the combat was just kinda off and I haven't returned to it since I died. Maybe after I beat Mass Effect for the 3rd time I'll try it out again.. that or the Witcher. Overall it seems like a pretty good old style RPG, I think a lot of people just have problems because it's not dungeons and dragons based, so it requires people used to that to learn a new system.

I just viewed the latest interview video on ME2, and they said you can play ME2 straight from the beginning - the game will go in one direction - or you can load any of your ME1 saves, and the game goes based on the decisions you made in ME1. Sweet way to program a sequel.

I agree, as far as I remember this has never been done before.

Mass Effect

KOTOR or Mass Effect

It could be argued that quality sells, so sales are a good representation of quality.

Mass Effect

It would make sense for TOR to use a system similar to KOTORs. Go play Mass Effect if you want a real time rpg.
