Pretty interesting article from the aussies regarding mass effect.

Mass Effect is probably my favorite rpg, and one of my favorite games. I cannot wait until the second one releases.

Haha thats freakin awesome! I love this game soooo much. I still play it to this day and I have had it since Christmas 07! Looking forward to "more juicy" sex scenes too! I wonder what Liara's boobs look like? Wow I sound like such a nerd, lol.

That's a big boost for X360...

Mass Effect really nice game,
Got a lot of enjoyment out of it.
Would be nice to see this if I could get my hands on it!

i loved mass effect and could have played it forever if it wasn't for my renting it. but beat the story and put about 20 hours in about 5 days so i was pretty obsessed. i've always loved really great space type rpg's.

Hehe, i thought you were trying to write a poem.

One of my all time favorite games for the 360. i put about 50 some hours in my first time through, and about 40 on my second. i started a third time on insane, but i haven't finished it yet. and i also haven't played it for a long time. it's pretty tough...almost...insane?

I can't wait for 2 to come out! it will be supa sweet.

notice how the beginning of too human is pretty similar to the beginning of mass effect? hmmm....

good, i hate exclusives. this is a great game and as many people should be able to play it as possible.

it just re-enforces my thought's on 3rd party 'exclusive' titles. they are going the way of the dodo. and i think it's a good thing. it forces 1st party developers to actually create new, unique ip's to sell their consoles and keep their core fanbase happy. kudos to bioware. but it's doesn't make crappy ports okay! crappy ports are a no-no.

crappy ports make me sad. spot on rotten.

I beat the game twice and was planning on a third run through but then picked up MGS4 so Mass Effect will have to wait. As long as the game's quality doesn't suffer, then multi platform doesn't bother me. The only negatives I see are possible worse quality and a longer waiting time if the two launch simultaneously. This doesn't really tell us anything as it's the usual rumor and reading into something too much, nowhere does it say that the game will be multiplatform or not. I will take everything with a grain of salt until I hear a definite exclusive or not announcement from EA or Bioware.

i could have written your post. that is me spot on. i think we're soulmates. have you tried playing it as a really ugly chick yet?

what's wrong with exclusives? i think they are great for the game industry. as long as 360 gets the best exclusives, then what's the problem? if every game was ported for every system, then what would be the point of owning multiple systems?

Actually, for my insane play through, i did make a kind of ugly chick. she is kind of goth and christina ricci looking with a giant forehead and pasty white. of course, she is my 'magic' chick, or psionic, whatever they call it.

it must be what happens when you live in the largest states in the union. you tend to think the same.
