Well I beat Dragon Age twice, and enjoyed the story line ALOT. I havent really played Bioware games, but the graphics, gameplay and everything was amazing. I always heard about Mass Effect but never had a chance to look at it. According to "Can I play this game" my computer blows away what I need to have to play it. Now the real question is, is it worth to buy? Amazon has it at $15 or I can get it on steam at $20. I missed the sale on steam, but I am looking for a game with good graphics and a great story line and think this could be it. I like the interaction thing but Im just wondering what other people think. If I enjoyed Dragon Age alot, could this game be woth the buy also?

Thanks

Mass Effect was okay.

I didn't really enjoy it as much as I am enjoying Dragon Age at the moment. (I'm at the end, fighting the big battle now)

I do plan on doing something that I was unable to do in Mass Effect, and that is replaying it.

Don't get me wrong, Mass Effect is great. A good time-waster. But I just don't like the Sci-Fi setting. Good game though, if you can get it cheap, do so.

I think it's well worth the buy, it's probably my favourite Bioware game (though I havn't played DA yet) the story is great, the graphics espically the faces are damn good and the combat is entertaining RPG/TPS mix.

It may play better on the console though as it just fits the controller perfectly.

well you already played dragon age twice.. i think you wont like mass effect that much now .. because dragon age is much much better :>

but if you really like to play RPG's then go for it.. its cheap nowadays

Yep well I decided to buy it. Graphically it isnt as good, BUT story wise I like it alot. Its more cut scened and interactions, which lately I enjoy more then the actual fighting. Its alittle choppy compared to DAO but Ive played almost 4 hours and am addicted. Pretty good for $20.

I don't like Mass Effect as much as KOTOR or DA, but its still fun.

I liked the combat of Mass Effect, as well as the fact that your character actually has dialogue and a name that people call you by (saves the awkward dialogue where NPCs can't call you by your name haha)

Side quests in Mass Effect are the lamest shit ever.

Bioware games are made of epic.

ME is worth the buy.

Knived · 11-16-2009, 05:08 PM

the gameplay in ME is meh but the story is pretty good but i don't think its worth the buy at all for some reason
ps. i bought it

The side quests suck, but the main storyline is one of the most well-crafted experiences in RPG history.

If you liked DA:O you'll like Mass Effect, just keep in mind the combat is real time and controlled, not auto attack like DA:O. Also, the setting is Sci-Fi not high fantasy, but I don't know if that's influence in your decision or not.
