Master Archivist  Posts: 8802 Joined: 22 Aug 2008    | Third Person Shooter Role Playing Game is the best way to describe it. Setting is 'Space Opera'. It's more Bioware. It's good, I thoroughly enjoyed it. The 'Karma' meter isn't so much a Good Vs. Evil as 'Good Cop' Vs. 'Ruthless Cop'. You're still doing good even if you are a bit of a dick along the way. |

Gone Gonzo  Posts: 3905 Joined: 4 May 2008    | If you want a very brief summary; Somewhat clunky gunplay, but this is improved with the powers wheel for biotic/tech using characters. Quite a bit of talking, and also quite a bit of action. While it can be frustrating to explore a new planet, this is entirely optional. The conversation wheels are good, as are the Paragon/Renegade choices and the effect they have on what type of person your character is. I, personally, loved this game despite its few flaws. |
Press Junketeer  Posts: 396 Joined: 6 Feb 2008   | you know, wikipedia is a good resource for these things. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mass_effect and hey, theres even a section titled "Plot". wow, thats convenient. |

You forgot: Aliens with American accents good. |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 1939 Joined: 15 Feb 2009    | When I played it--I thought it was going to be a shooter--but there was a lot of tedious dialog--too much dialog. I got bored and stopped playing. And the vehicle section--the unending frustration. |

American Accent? You know, I'm in the US...we have so many what would be the norm? But I digress. Now New yorkers...they got accents but you try and pretend to pull one off they notice and they will beat you down. English speaking Aliens good? |

Hey, not all the aliens are bad. Just the ones that don't agree to sign up to Commander Shepard's Galactic Genocide Campaign as soon as they meet him. |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 3932 Joined: 18 Dec 2007   | If you like Dragon Age: Origins than you will like this game. The combat is more gun focused, obviously, but it still plays pretty well and the story is the same on all difficulties so if you do have trouble than you can just take it down to easy. |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 2321 Joined: 16 Mar 2009    | It's basically a crappy version of the gears of war with a deep story and RPG elements. |
Infamous Scribbler Posts: 561 Joined: 8 Apr 2008 | Play it... I swear thought the way those info terminals would spew out talking.... I swear to god after like 5 minutes of text of leading up to the secret of the universe, right before it told me the anwser it was gonna Rick Roll me. |

Indeed... English speaking aliens is a better description. Though any 'neutral' accent sounds foreign to a foreign national. For example... I don't have a strong colloquial accent from my area but you would know I'm Irish from listening to me. Just not which part of the country. So although many Americans have a neutral accent relative to the folks in the south or New Yowak, they would probably sound distinctly American to my ears! |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 1484 Joined: 1 Sep 2008   | He combat is like a slowed down version of Gears of War. With a combat wheel, sort of. The story is epic and characters are well written. Commander Shepard is a badass. The voice acting is excellent, even though some voices sound like they're used more than once. There's a few bugs, but nothing serious or gamebreaking. I want you to buy this game. Do it, Bioware deserves your money. Mass Effect 2 isn't out yet, but buy it when it comes out too. You know why. |

If it doesn't want to make sweet love with Commander Shepard it must be destroyed! |
Beat Writer  Posts: 136 Joined: 13 Mar 2009  | I liked the original Mass Effect and plan on buying the second (when the price goes down). The story is far better than the gameplay (in my opinion), but it's still a good game combat-wise. Oh, and... |

Not a plot summary. I mean like gameplay and all that jazz.
I liked Dragon Age: Origins, will I like this game? Do you talk more then you kill things? What's the setting like?
Thanks for the info you may/may not give me. :D
