Re: Mass Effect - Impressions

This game is so good. I am worried about killing my 360, I have never played it this much.

Same here. It's gotten a workout this week that it isn't used to.

I'm using a cycle of three hours playing, and then two hours off. I won't lie, those two hours are a bitch though.

Re: Mass Effect - Impressions

at this point, should it even be a question in anyones mind that this is the game of the year?

addicting as **** this game is!

Re: Mass Effect - Impressions

Game of the year. I thought I was going to give that title to Bioshock, but I don't even think it is close.

Yeah, I was in the same boat, but the interaction with the story has me hooked. I want to play through again with a totally different type of attitude and see how it's different!

Re: Mass Effect - Impressions

Level-13, about 15 hours into my career (mostly exploring) and living the life of a Sentinel hasn't been as rewarding as I thought it would be.

The most satisfying part of my job is my ability to keep my party alive when things get ugly, it's also good to know that I have an offensive power for just about any entity we come across.

But when I signed up to be a Sentinel I was hoping that my role would be the backbone of the group, yet most of the time my advanced healing abilities aren't necessary because my squad-mates have ways of restoring their own life (passive abilities and armor upgrades), and when my powers are re-charging I'm basically just another fighter (but with gimped weaponry). I'm hoping I gain more support abilities as my career progresses because the time I spend firing my pistol could be better spent on weaking the opposition and enhancing my squad-mates.

Can't wait for my Medic training to begin, because as a Sentinel I don't feel like I'm contributing much to the squad that another class couldn't do just as well, so I'm looking forward to becoming a class with stronger, more unique support abilities so I seperate myself from the rest of the Spectres in the galaxy.

Exactly, I thought about playing my same character again. However, I kinda have the urge to create a new career. Tough calls.. lol

Prestige classes don't get additional abilities. They just enhance existing abilities. As a medic, your first aid and neural shock will be better somehow.

Yeah...it'd be cool to use the same guy again, but I want to go with a different attack style (along with going with different mindset, completely evil!)

The best thing about the game though is that whichever one you choose, you know you're gonna play through again. Lot of replay value in this game.

Re: Mass Effect - Impressions

OK, I'm having an issue and need some help. I have the strategy guide, I'm searching for all the keepers, I have 20 out of 21 of them, the one I'm missing is saying it's in the Volus and Elcor office, but when I go there, the machine they are on is there, but the Keeper isn't. Any suggestions on where to find it?

Edit: Nevermind, I re-loaded my game and it's there now. Just a little glitch.

Yeah, it falls through the floor sometimes. From other accounts it's been stated that there is sometimes just enough of it sticking out from the floor that you can scan it if you can spot it.

Lmao, just went to FLux and danced on the dance floor...pretty funny.

Re: Mass Effect - Impressions

Wait, how do you dance?

Got the game yesterday and I'm very satisfied. I'm about 10 hours, gotten my appointment as a Spectre, gotten all my party members, and have since failed to do a single main story quest line. I'm getting ready to do the sidequest you get from Garus.
