Totally agree with Gufberg! You really become connected with your Sheperd as you play through until you cant really envision anyone else, ive been on a lot of other RPGs where you can customize your character and not felt the same way!
ME is one of the greatest RPGs ever, and from what we have seen ME2 will just take it to the next level!
I really love the way one can customize his Shepard.
It means whenever i see someone else playing Mass Effect with their own character i cant help but think "Thats not the real shepard.." cause im so used to looking at my own, thus really painting an individual image of a hero :).
Im guessing that im not the only one feeling this way.
It's a shame that Bioware's MMO isn't one of their original creations like Mass Effect or Jade Empire, a good MMO based around those sort's of universes is seriously needed on the market IMO, plus those universes are uniquely awesome. But seeing as IT is Bioware afterall SWTOR, knowing Bioware won't have the ZOMG heaps of bugs which most MMOs suffer from on a constant basis (I hope anyway), and unlike SWG have a nice set of balanced classes and have good gameplay.
It's alright really. Star Wars is the best IP for BioWare to be making a MMO with. The Star Wars IP is already highly established, with 30-40 years worth of works and a really big fanbase. A MMO needs players to make it worth playing. Big IPs are easy to sell.
MMOs are bad not because of the game, but because of the people who play it, if kids would be less retarded and elitest players less like jerks and more tollerant and just treated it like a game rather then trying to take advantage of the latest OP class or the latest exploit it will be better, look at EVE online for example there is a MMO with a half decent community and it's great.
Check how the flaps open down to make the cobra trick, while in actual versions of Mass Effect the Normandy only makes it's more aerodinamyc shape. Weird uh??
lol dam, im on my 4th... and i thought i was bad.... the ending of this game is epic... and when the song comes on... argh u just have to play it again...
One of the best games avor in my opinion, right up there with half life, ive completed it twice, once just to play it then 2nd one on doing it the paragon way, next renegade, should be a laugh lol
The game is kick ass and I can't wait for the sequel. But the one thing I must point that are some similarities with the game and an old TV show that I used to watch called Babylon 5 and that makes me like the game even more.
In teh beginning of the game, you want him dead cuz he orderd to attack Eden Prime. As you countinue in the Story, you get his motivation. Man that guy tryed to safe the galaxy, in his way. When he shot himself in the end, i had to acknowledge him with applause.
Agreed. I'm glad I played more Hero, and led myself to that conclusion. It was a lot more rewarding especially the first time around. I played again as Renegade, but it just didn't feel as great. =] Saren was seen as a coward, but he redeemed himself in the end with that beautiful cinematic moment.
Loved the song and the game. I did notice a lot of scenes in this video that I did not see in the game. I must play again and choose another direction.
I don't think all of it is in the game. i believe some scenes like the one with ash stopping garrus from talking to shepard at the beginning and the subsqeuent scene in the mako are from promotional materials.
this is *EXACTLY* what we should see when the credits roll. I wanted to see something like this so bad when I heard the song the first time.
Just imagine beating the game for the first time and seeing the credits roll with this video in the background? I'd probably shed a few tears at all my squad and I have been through!
That would make this game go from really incredible to absolutely timeless.
saren wasnt bad at all it was just soverign and i told my friend i got saren to kill himself he got so pissed because he had to kill him 2 times and i only did it once and u can not kill wrex to
Every time I watch a mass effect video I always see a comment about how someone hates Saren. Honestly I don't even see how he is the bad guy. If you actually listen to the dialouge and watch the cutscenes you will see that he believes that he is saving the people from extinction. Also toward the end of the game you can make him commit suicide through guilt for what he has done. Anyway all I'm trying to say is that I don't get how anyone can percieve him as the bad guy.
Very nice video, well edited. I loved this game, its rare that the story and characters of a game alone make the gamer feel compelled to keep playing, but that's just what this game does. On top of that, its a very solid 3rd person shooter too, I can't recommend it enough.
What I liked about Mass Effect was getting to choose the path of your charactor. (Descision wise and such ...) The graphics are pretty good too and I love all the charactor personalitys and just the general work put into the charactors.
The storyline was great in my opinion and overall it was a fairly entertaining game.
The ending is absoloutely awesome, its like watching a movie, but you controll the main character, if you haven't already got it, I recommend it to anybody.
well It's a pretty linear game but it's the descisions you make that make this game so interesting. Also the great storyline and characters that you get to know and that you have on your team.
This is the best game i ve eer played for the xbox I love it so much I'm so excited for the next instalment does anyone know when that will be ??? I herd it will be a trilogy !!! ???
just finished the game, omfg it was sweet. and the music completes it. thank you for the info, i just need to get this song. without you i didn't know it was from 'faunt' or anything ;)
Who said those were Protheans? How do we know the 'Protheans' weren't just another conglomeration of species like the Citadel Races? ;D
Most facts point to those statues being a good representation of what the Protheans might have looked liked, but so far, very little about Prothean history or culture has been revealed in Mass Effect, so pretty much all guesses are valid at this point. Guess we'll have to wait for ME 2 in order to find out more. :D
That's an interesting theory. Now I wonder what the statue's relation to the research and cryo-bunker facility nearby was. From the layout of the courtyards and open spaces in the begining of Ilos, I would assume the area was a park or other public meeting location.
Proberly left to ruin when the protheans went into hibernation so it might have been like a huge testing facility judging from the stuff you see on the ground.
Frankly, I couldn't give a shit. I'm having plenty of fun with Halo, as I always have, and obviously, if I'm having fun with it I'm not going to be playing anything else.
You just can't do that, that's like comparing an apple to a carrot, people ether like them or hate them, and they are unique in their own special and tasty way.
I Know CoD4 is great but its in a tie with bioshock and Super Mario Galaxy for the true game of the year 07 cuz they're game of the year and im gettin CoD4 phfor my birthday XD
... I never felt this way while playing a game. I absolutely did not want it to end. It was almost like being a kid again for me. Sorry about the dramatic pause :D
5 out of 5 no qwestion game is a little slow in begginign but the fun makes up for it once your high lvl specter game is awsome i loved halo 3 and i have to say this is way better, gameplay and ending (for thoughs who seen the real ending of h3)
Wow, this game is completely new to me, I heard about it a long time ago and never really took interest, but you made it look so encapsulating and epic. I wantz
Beautiful video dude. I finished the game yesterday and was blown away. Started watching the videos on the DVD... then started my next game. Thanks for this great retrospective (BioWare, hire this guy!)
Love this song. When I beat the game for the first time, it was so F*cken amazing. This game should have won Game of the Year. BioWare did an amazing job with this 360 exclusive
