Convince me to buy Mass Effect...

Probaly because it is the best made game so far this gen.

Convincing you would be pointless as you are the person who decides if ye' wants it or not.

True, and Im looking to finding out more about the game. Getting the views and ideas of other posters can give me more insight to the game then reading previews or anything in my opinion.

Instead of posting pointless topics in the wrong forum, why don't you just rent it and decide for yourself? Oh, that's right, you just want to see how many replies this thread gets...

yeah because I start SO MANY threads. Honestly, in the few years I have been here I can say I have started less than 20 topics. This game has just started to spark my interest and I want to know more about it from the people here. The 360 forums would only give me the good stuff, and here gives me more balance. Of course I may have to wade through some fanboyish posts on both sides, but Ill get a better idea for the game.

Pros:

Great Graphics.

Fantastic Voice Acting.

Many ways to develop your character.

Supposedly one of the best stories in a video game ever.

Cons:

Animations look pretty bad.

Lip syncing matches the words but there is little expression on people's faces.

Gameplay may be too boring to be real time.

If you like RPGs, Sci-Fi, and are in the mood for playing a movie, buy it.

If not, don't. It'll sell 2 million+ with or without your purchase.

Not looking for flaming, this is a serious question. I just havent really gotten any vibes from this game. Dilrod

It's a piece of crap, don't buy it.

No it really can't. If you consider System Wars a better source than critics you're weird. Go to a forum that's not a cesspool if you want insight from common folks.

You'll gain more achievement points if you buy it. ;)c_smithii

He should just buy the Avatar game instead.

You can unlock all the achievements in less time than it takes the game to load.

Let me formulate again then:

hummmm, no, I don't accept orders from you, buy the game if you want to, I don't care

see where you should have put your eyes on?

8.5gamenux

sooo?

Get Warhawk. It has multiplayer, cheap, fun, and it doesn't have framerate problems. :lol:

Nah, just joking. :P Get Mass Effect and ignore the cows shoving the 8.5 in your face. ;)
