CD Action Reviews Mass Effect 2 - 10/10

TMC: Polish gaming magazine CD Action reviewed Mass Effect 2 with a 10/10 score calling it the best Third Person Shooter among RPG's and best Space RPG among other things

[FangBlade]

3 sentences and a score.
lol

[N4PS3G]

That why its under news and not the review section ;)

makes sense?

[Bungie]

Best game evaaa

10/10

well deserved

not alot of games can compete with it IMO

[FreeFalling]

lol Bungie...
you and your PS3 profile pics make me lol.

you be trollin'.

[gamer2010]

It's going to be an amazing experience. I have no doubt that it will be one of the stand out games of the generation for me and lots of other people. The first one is already one of my stand out games this generation. Bioware are true masters of their craft.

[Bungie]

Congratulations Bioware

Great developers...Great game

-Respect

[mikeslemonade]

This will be a great game but won't surpass Mass Effect 1. Mass Effect 1 was so far ahead of its time compared to other games when it came out. There's too much competition right now. It might not even be the best RPG of the year.

[Harry_Manback]

I can finally dust off the ol' 360.

[Cold 2000]

GOTY anyone ?

[aaron5829]

@Bungie...

Shut the hell up

[APOFISBORICUA]

For another overhyped and overrated boring adventure from Bioware...well at least as boring as the first ME!

BTW why not bringing back Jade Empire... Thats a classic I treasured on my original black beast.

I will happily buy the next Jade Empire on my 360!!

PEACE AND GAMING!!

[The Creep]

i know

he be trolling yo

[doomsonyman]

ima getting mass effect 1 and infamous today and i'm so excited! great score cant wait to play mass effect 2. happy gaming people!

[Bungie]

Mass effect 2

Day 1

[Elven6]

If Aliens were to get in range of earth just enough to pick up Wifi signals and accidentally check out N4G, they would decide the future of our existence via fanboyism.

If someone decided to print the comments section of N4G and suddenly civilization was largely destroyed, archaeologists would find said printed sheet thousands of years from now and conclude we lived like this. ^^^

[gamer2010]

Certainly nothing as big as Uncharted 2 was for the PS3 last year. The 360 has the better lineup hands down.

@elven6

It's true, fanboyism is stupid. But it is also human nature that when somebody constantly attacks something you love that you will want to make them feel the same way. It's a stupid, vicious cycle.

BTW, what I wrote at the top may sound fanboyish and in a sense it is, but I really believe what I wrote, it's not just to get somebody's goat.

[Dev8 ing]

Yeah right. PC exclusives blow the 360 out of the water for 2010. Ever heard of a game called Starcraft? Some countries consider it a religion. Maybe you haven't heard of another bioware game called Star Wars: The old republic which actually is exclusive to PC. I mean I can go on but I'm sure you can google 2010 pc exclusives. What are you comparing these PC games to? Another Halo, Another Fable.

[Hakimy]

"best Third Person Shooter among RPG's and best Space RPG"
can someone mention me games like that? cus I don't think I know games like that.oh and I'm talking about ps2 era.if there is none then tell me about games like this in this gen cus I really want to know ;)

Edit: lol wtf? guys I'm actually asking here XD
I could think of Parasite Eve.if that's what they mean then this is interesting ;)

[Heartbroken-Menace]

Well, can't wait to play ME2 on my pc, awesome game.

[gamer2010]

You PS3 fanboys are so funny. You come into these articles and purposely go out of your way to tell people you are getting the game for the PC and then when people laugh at you you act innocent and complain that people are overreacting.

Well, you know what is really stupid about that whole game you guys play? You say that the PC is a platform so the game is multiplatform, but then why are you going out of your way to mention what platform you are getting it for? When a game is multiplatform for the PS3 and 360 you almost never see people go out of their way to mention whether they are getting it for the 360 or the PS3. People just talk about the game.

[FangBlade]

Because 99% of the 360 owners thinks this game is exclusive and I guess its importent to people like Heartbroken-Menace to mention the PC version. And besides, we both know the PC version will be superior so why not? Im getting this for my PC aswell.

[Tony P]

@Hakimy: A space RPG that is also a shooter? That's really narrow...

System Shock? It's an old (but excellent) PC title. It is the precursor to Bioshock so plays similarly.

Besides that... Deus Ex is legendary among shooter/RPG hybrids and it's sci-fi. But it's PC-only. Deus Ex 2 is not as deep or diverse, but it looks better and was on Xbox and PC.

There are no shooter RPGs I know of on the JRPG side, but plenty of sci-fi with swords like Star Ocean and Rogue Galaxy.

Edit: scratch that, PE is probably the closest you can get.

[table]

I think the people complaining about pc gamers need to chill. You can't catch a break round here if you game on pc. I don't like seeing people use this game for their own fanboy agenda which 360 fanboys are doing by pretending it's exclusive and ps3 fanboys by pretending they will get it on pc. There is nothing wrong mentioning that you'll get it for pc, it makes a nice change from all the console nutters at each others throats.

[Cold 2000]

Looks like 2.1 is kind of butthurt lol.

[4Sh0w]

I don't get your point, I think 360 fanboys are just rightfully calling out the trolling BS on the part of ps3 fanboys. If these so called pc gamers are getting the game on pc then great but theres really not much point to telling everybody which one your getting, if you like the game why not just tell us why? Just my opinion.

On topic, this game looks like its going to be one of the special games of all time.

[JasonPC360PS3Wii]

Windows PC = Microsoft
Xbox 360 = Microsoft
Mass Effect 2 = Microsoft exclusive

If you want to play Mass Effect 1 or 2 you "have" to own a Xbox 360 or a Windows PC (fact)

PS3 fanboys scream "PC" because they wont ever be getting this game on a PS3.

Everyone knows PC is MS's domain, that's why every PC ad is funded by MS and every MAC ad attacks Microsoft.

The same PS3 fanboys saying they will get it on PC are the same hypocrites that say "PC gaming is dying" because the 360 and PC both are in direct competition with Sony's PS3.

Mass Effect 2: not on a PS3, MAC, Wii or Linux only on Windows PC and Xbox 360 :) sorry about all this truth PS3 fans you can go back to your delusional fantasy world now and live in denial.

[JeffGUNZ]

Jason 360 beat me to the punch. Most 360 fans are saying this game is CONSOLE exclusive. Meaning, for the majority of gamers out there, who have a console, you can only play it on the 360. Also, it's by Microsoft, why wouldn't they release it on their PC platform, aka, windows. No matter if you have a SONY Viao or whatever Sony laptop/PC out there, you're playing it because it is running off the Windows Platform, which is owned by Microsoft. That is like having God of War 3 come out for the PS3 this year and then it come out for the PSP and people saying it's no longer an Exclusive. Use your brains people.

[Greywulf]

Its an operating system. Imagine the luxuries and rights you have to pay to make web pages, and applications, or even, games. Its not a gaming platform, no. No, that would be a device that only plays games.

PC owners saying they are getting the PC version of a PC exclusive, is absolutely no different than 360 owners announcing that they are getting the superior version is it not? And now since you guys are pretending the PC is like a PSP/PS2/Xbox1 for example, its clearly a viable platform which runs superior software. But then, you flop all PC related things saying PC gaming isn't important anymore, and is on the decline and dying, so who cares if they can use MODS or dedicated servers.

At one moment its embraced as Microsofts Trojan Horse in the gaming world, then its totally thrown under the bus as an insignificant number of gamers. Which is it? The console versions insignificant differences compared to a PC running the game at ludicrous speed are gigantic. But you don't see anyone praising the PC for running a better version, because games having better visuals is often met with the "it doesn't affect the gameplay" attitude.

The reason people troll multiplatform 360/PC games is because they aren't exclusive as Nintendo & Sony franchises are. There is no way around that. Microsoft doesn't own the developers making the titles, nor do they publish the games. Sure, you pay to license things, but thats hardly the same relationship that Nintendo has with the DS, or that Sony has with the PSP. Not hardly at all, they don't manufacture the equipment, and the equipment isn't a game console. Thats like pretending a web browser or Google is a division of Microsoft. Games For Windows is just technical requirements.

[Dev8 ing]

Not all people even buy the windows operating system. Sure if you buy a PC from a computer company, Sony, Dell or Gateway it comes with windows but if you build your own computer (which you probably do if you game on PC) then you have to obtain a copy of windows (legally or less legally).

Here's an idea for everybody to be less ignorant. Go into your control panel and see what your computer's specs are. Then compare them to the requirements for PC games e.g. Mass Effect 2 1.8 Ghz Core 2 Duo, 1 Gb RAM and 256Mb graphics card. Most PC's can play PC games and if they cant it's usually the graphics card. A graphics card can be obtained for as cheap as $35. So gaming on a PC doesn't have to be expensive. Of course if you want graphics that will wow your console only playing buddies you will want more than a $35 card.

[JokesOnYou]

"The reason people troll multiplatform 360/PC games is because they aren't exclusive as Nintendo & Sony franchises are."

-So you even admit, you're only trolling.= Not here to discuss great games, but only to spread your fanboy agenda. OK, its not like anybody surprised by your motives. lol

-Nothing you said changes the facts that these 360/PC games are made for Window's & XBOX360= owned by Microsoft, which means micro either benefits in their bread 'n butter market for PC OS dominance or micro benefits in the console market because its exclusive to their 360 platform. Micro wins either way= 360 gamers support the 360 with usual huge sales of 360/PC games, hardcore PC gamers and a few ps3 extremists help micro keep its dominance in the PC Gaming/Windows platform. Just look at all the 360/PC games, specifically most recently L4D2, its definitely one of the better selling PC games(Valve= Steam), yet NPD confirms the 360 version of L4D2 alone has outsold all the ps3 exclusives in 2009 for the US, and UK charts, vg charts etc show L4D2 outselling competing 2009 ps3 exclsuives, which as you say:

"aren't exclusive as Nintendo & Sony franchises",

but yet L4D2 which is not even one of micro's heavy hitters, still outsells competing 2009 ps3 exclusives, including sony's ultra, mega blockbuster, hyped to be game changer= KZ2 which hasn't even sold 2.5mil worldwide yet since Feb 2009, so much for long legs, huh?= Apparently 360 games can still easily outsell "true" ps3 exclusives, so why shouldn't micro continue their current strategy of offering them on dual platforms? Its working.

JOY

edit: vvvvvv Well said heroprotagonist, well said, that is absolutely true.

[heroprotagonist]

Come on, let's set this straight.

Fact 1: A whole lot of PS3 fanboys likely just lie about getting it for the PC.

Fact 2: There are real PC owners that really do plan to get it for their PCs.

Fact 3: When there is an article about a multiplatform game like, say, Assassin's Creed 2 I almost never hear someone mention that they are "getting it for the PC".

It seems that only when it is a PC/360 game do so many fanboys pull out the whole "I'm getting it for my PC" thing.

So, if you have a history of being a PS3 fanboy and you claim you are getting it for your "PC" most people are naturally going to consider it trolling.

[chrisulloa]

Def. buying 360 version since 360 version was ported to PC. Glad to see another AAA for 2010.

[Charmers]

Yet who wants to bet the PC version will have higher resolution textures, sharper graphics, a massively better frame rate and a better control system. I will play Mass Effect 2 on the platform it is meant to be played on, which is naturally the PC.

[chrisulloa]

I guess that's true, but I'll pass on spending over 800 dollars on a high-end gaming rig that can run it on max settings at 60 fps.

[Charmers]

That's odd I already have a computer that plays the game at 1680 x 1050 maxxed out running at 60fps. I don't need to spend $800 on a new PC to do it. I can use my two year old quad to max this game out. You see some of us actually love our gaming and we want our games to look and play as best they can.

Besides the fact that all PC games are at least $10 cheaper than the console versions means I have probably made $800 worth of savings by sticking with the PC. Not to mention the fact most consoles barely last a year before they break and the $50 a year fee to play on line you xbox users have to put up with.

[chrisulloa]

So 600 dollars for a PC that can run Crysis at max settings at about 40 fps and a 200 dollars 20" monitor and probably more money for the operating system. Don't know what you're talking about.

[meatnormous]

What he is saying is that he already owns a pc that will run this game. People have gaming pcs and consoles. Game shouldn't be that hard to run and a new pc isn't required. Mass effect isn't crysis.

[taylork37]

I actually think he just saying it because he is a ps3 fanboy and he is trying to make a point that he can play it on something else besides the 360. While, at the same time not realizing that he is actually still giving MS money.

[Dev8 ing]

^^^ Really? Does MS get royalties for PC games?

[taylork37]

Games with the "Games for Windows" logo they sure do. And those are usually games that are on 360 and PC.

[heroprotagonist]

One way or another you are benefiting Microsoft if you play on the PC.

[Charmers]

Oh look another 360 cry baby accusing me of being a PS3 fanboy. I am not a PS3 fanboy I think both consoles are utter crap and people should be sent to a mental asylum for even thinking of buying those toys.

Oh and taylork37 you want to check your facts, Microsoft DOES NOT receive any money for games sold on the PC. The same goes for games on the Games For Windows label there is NO royalty fee :-

"We have a quality checklist and a set of technical guidelines games must meet before they can carry the Games for Windows brand. We work closely with the world’s leading game publishers to ensure these games meet the bar. Also, we don’t charge publishers a fee or royalty to carry the brand. For us, it’s about constantly improving the overall gaming experience.

source : http://www.microsoft.com/pr...

Microsoft could never get away with a royalty fee on the PC because it does not OWN the PC. Microsoft is just one part of the PC mix, the PC is an open platform and if Microsoft started charging royalty fees for Games For Windows titles you can bet your arse developers would say "bye bye" pretty quickly to the GFW branding.

So next time get your facts straight, I am not a PS3 fanboy and MS does not get any money from PC gaming, why the hell do you think they went into the console market in the first place.

heroprotagonist the only thing that benefits Microsoft from the PC is the purchase of an operating system, that is it. Now since 99% of software on the planet is windows based it is inevitable that you would need an MS operating system anyway. But you keep thinking that some how "magically" Microsoft gets "mysterious" revenue from PC games if you want.

[taylork37]

Facts are facts, good point. Either way, you will not see those games for MAC or PS3, which is indirectly benefiting MS.

[heroprotagonist]

Ok, charmers, but use your head here a little bit.

Why would Microsoft even bother with creating and sustaining the Games for Windows label if it does not benefit them in any way? Clearly it does.

Whether directly or indirectly Microsoft benefits from the health of the PC as a platform.

So, if a person thinks they are sticking it to Microsoft by getting themselves a gaming rig and buying PC games, they are seriously mistaken.

[Charmers]

heroprotagonist I take it you aren't a PC gamer, if you were a PC gamer you would know that pretty much everything MS has done with regards to gaming on the PC has been to introduce us to a "console like environment". The Games For Windows scheme has absolutely NOTHING to do with promoting or helping PC gaming. The scheme exists to get PC gamers comfortable with a console like experience. So that we are more likely to switch to their xbox.

You see MS wants you gaming on their xbox and doing your internet browsing on a PC with their operating system. Microsoft receives NO money from PC gaming either directly or indirectly. The only money Microsoft receives from the PC is the initial purchase of the operating system.

Now you can assume I am a PC gamer because I want to "stick it to the man" if you want. However I have been a PC gamer for 20 years, I am a PC gamer because I love the tech, I love the experience and to me consoles are just a way for idiots to get into gaming. I personally wouldn't give a crap if MS directly benefited from PC gaming. I would welcome it because if they actually benefited financially from PC gaming they might actually stop screwing PC gamers over and purposely stealing PC games.

[Solidus187-SCMilk]

cant wait to play it.

[Two-Face]

Lol. The PS3 fanboys saying that they will play it on PC. Well, fine. I can understand that you have nothing other to play on your PS3 :D

[deshon09]

thats funny because the 360 had so many big exclusives games last year to play lol

i don't see what you mean i am still plying though half the game i got last month yet alone last year

plus army of 2 / that just came out lol it not like much has come out for the 360 yet ether but hay that is just what you think good luck with that

[chrisulloa]

Really so the 2 years before 2009 don't count?

[Two-Face]

Haha. You are the dumb one. Callin me Xbox 360 fanboy, but I don't even own Xbox 360.

I'm only fair. I actually got a PS3.

[Saaking]

So you can say you'll play on 360 but it's wrong to say you'll play it on PC? How is stating a fact wrong? You 360 fans are hilarious. Denying the existence of the PC won't make it disappear.

[chase167]

they was nothing to play on that system for a year

[Ausbo]

it certainly is fine to play the game on pc, however everyone can tell when a ps3 fanboy says it just to put down the xbox gamers.

Mass effect is not an exclusive but it is a game that xbox gamers can play but not ps3 only owners.

[deshon09]

just got my rig in the mail yesterday so i will be getting this game

[heroprotagonist]

Sorry, but after you revealed yourself to be a big fat PS3 fanboy in your comment above I don't believe you.

You guys think you are hurting the 360 by saying that crap, but you really aren't.

Many of these console exclusive games sell better on the 360 than most PS3 exclusives do. They are clearly having the desired impact on the 360.

[Sir Ken_Kutaragi]

;) ;) ;)

[chrisulloa]

How cute, he still loves playing games on a Microsoft product but he hates Microsoft.

[Charmers]

The PC is NOT a Microsoft product, I have an Nvidia graphics card does that make my PC an Nvidia product ? Microsoft is only responsible for 1 part of the PC which is the operating system. That most certainly does NOT make the PC a Microsoft Product.

[chrisulloa]

He is running the game on a Microsoft product, which is the operating system. Herp derp.

[mcnablejr]

i dont think there will be a single reason why i would want to play mass effect 2 on a pc. please name a few noticeable reasons which would beat a 32" bravia , surround sound.?

[Charmers]

Why don't you wait till the comparisons come out mcnablejr ? The difference will be like night and day in the PC's favour. The graphics and textures will be a lot better on the PC version, the resolution will not be limited to 720p like the console version. Oh and no matter how good your Bravia television is it won't be able to make Mass Effect run faster than 30fps.

I on the other hand will be playing the game with crisp clear visuals on my 42" 1080p TV with frame rates well above 60fps oh didn't you know PC gamers can choose between gaming on a monitor or gaming on a HD TV. As for your surround sound, well guess what the PC version will have it too.

[JasonPC360PS3Wii]

Tell me something why is it that every "I'm a MAC and I'm a PC" ad MAC directly attacks Windows? Why is it that every PC ad is funded by MS?

That's because PC is Microsoft and Windows PC gaming is Microsoft. I know you PS3 droids try desperately to discredit MS's PC gaming platform. Most of the world is smart enough to know that PC is Microsoft's domain and has been since DOS. Most of the world also knows that "PC gaming is dying" articles are written by Playstation blogs. Why? because with every PC and Xbox sold a PS3 isn't. Now go back to you fairy dust pixie la la land the candy mountains miss you.

[Charmers]

ROFL you think I am a PS3 droid, have a look through my history and see if you can find ONE single good thing I have said about the PS3. I think the 360 and PS3 are equally crap there is no better console they are all rubbish and the sooner you guys open your eyes the better.

Oh and I stand by what I said, the PC is an OPEN platform no one company OWNS the PC. My PC has parts from Samsung, Gigabyte, Microsoft, Intel, Nvidia, Corsair and OCZ. As I said should I call my PC an Nvidia PC then ? or how about an Intel PC ? All Microsoft does is supply ONE part of the PC mix that does not = a Microsoft platform.

The PC is not a Microsoft platform, the only people that think that are stupid PS3 owners trying to go "ha ha that game isn't Xbox exclusive" and moronic 360 owners that seem to think that all PC gamers are PS3 owners.

[Dev8 ing]

Not to mention that most graphics cards output surround using HDMI 1.3a not some crappy console HDMI 1.2. The only way the 360 ever beats the PC is when a developer is really lazy and does a sh1tty PC version. I also like the precision the mouse affords: everybody is more comfortable with a mouse than a controller, I mean who doesn't use a mouse everyday?

[PirateThom]

You don't need reviews to tell you this will be awesome.

1. It's sequel to the best RPG this gen
2. It's BioWare

That should be the only reasons you need to buy it.

[militant07]

thats great, its gona be good as i expect or mabye even better,

the sad news it will be released in middle of exams :(, so ill have to wait week to play it.

Collecter's Edition for me

[asyouburn]

in an eroge ds game, i'd marry her

[Counter Strike]

Only on Microsoft !!

[TROLL EATER]

cnt wait to pik this up on the 360

[table]

sshhh... you're not aloud to mention which platform you will be getting the game on...

[Noob]

That only counts when PS3 fans say they're playing it on PC. The reaction is quite predictable.

[Dev8 ing]

Pfft. I will be playing the superior PC version. Steam FTW.

[heroprotagonist]

He was obviously making fun of the people who say they are getting it on the PC.

[Rockox]

Man, what's with all this BS about 360 and PC? If you can play it on a console or on the PC, then you should be happy and be celebrating that fact. Congrats to Bioware for making another fantastic game for us to enjoy.

[Heartbroken-Menace]

people always mention what platform they are geting a game on, even if it's exclusive, you'll see comments like"can't wait to get halo 3 in my xbox360" or can't wait to get GOW3 on my ps3". I see nothing wrong with saying that I can't wait to play ME2 on my pc. FF14 will be on the pc aswell, so I'm sure many people that don't have PS3s will be able to buy it on the pc, which is good for them.

[Dev8 ing]

Yeah totally agree with you. The PC version is usually $10 cheaper and will look/play better with some exceptions of lazy developers. Why the PC hate? Most PC's are used more than consoles.

[sugatmahanti]

Please go ahead Bioware..and release the damn game already ..

[polow got sol]

man im so hyped for this game if my ps3 felt neglected b4 its gonna call social services on me when this relases

[chrisulloa]

lol social services

[ps360wll]

This will be GOTY on my book... i'm sure it will win goty awards from multiple sites.

Bioware is my favorite devlop since jade empire days... there great :)

[gamer7804]

Mass Effect and Bayonetta are probably my 2 favorite games this generation, I preordered and i can't wait to play Mass Effect 2, i'm sure it deserves a 10/10 if its anything like the first.

[Dev8 ing]

Bayonetta? Really scraping the bottom there, huh.

[horndog]

Not on ps3. Ps3 gets rejected as usual. Gonna have to wait for the gimped port if ever.

[Cyrax_87]

"Not on ps3. Ps3 gets rejected as usual."

*facedesk*

[rjgbyrne]

They are basically carbon copies bar one or two (at most) exclusives, so all in all its just plain silly to spout off fanboy jargon, I'm sure in the future there will be fanboy-syndromes as well as text-jargon-syndromes (ROFL, LOL, ect.) that will require medication and a lengthy dose of cop-on sessions to try to fix those stupid people, its out of control now. It has been around since Amiga and Atari ST but what it has evolved into is another beast, a beast with a hairy back! It god to laugh ot some of the drivel, whatever machine you own, I hope you enjoy it more than trolling fanboys, as for Mass Effect 2, I hope it sells just as well as Halo or God of War. I deserves to do well as does any game lavishly design for gamers to enjoy.

[rjgbyrne]

Fact is Sony, Nintendo and Microsoft are all in bed together on a number of other projects, Windows 7 and Vaio, Nintendo's operating system uses MS tech, Sony rent movies on MS consoles... even Apple are in the orgy, ha ha! 1 bubble, I don't post a lot so maybe that's why! I reckon the wasted hot-air spent on slagging each others consoles would be better used expressing exactly what they did and didn't like about each game to help developers 'get it right'! Anyhow, have a great day mate, your comment made mine.

[hellboy1880]

I could buy this game for 360 or PC. Obviously I'm going to get the PC version.

So nuts to you fanboys.

[likedamaster]

3rd person action RPG? Console for me, but I'll eventually get it for PC just to see how it looks with settings maxed out.

[Letros]

Picking this up on the PC because its better played with a mouse I feel.

[hellboy1880]

Yup

Played ME on PC and it looked, played and sounded great. Really looking forward to ME2.

I have a 360 too, but ya just can't beat a nice GPU and the precision of a mouse and keyboard.

PS For the Emperor!

[R6ex]

:)

[ironmonkey]

why buy the game on 360 when u can get it free on pc? why buy any windows operating systems when u could download it free? soo uhh how is that supporting them? lol plus why is it a bad thing if people say they will get it on pc lol? dont be mad theres no need to write a book about it get it on pc or get it on 360 dont cry

[Letros]

360 is piracy free?

[Acidicpack]

Its great to hear that ME2 is getting such great reviews. ME1 was one of my all time favorite games of this GEN and I would gladly put it in my top 10 favorite games off all time. I'm playing again now so I can see how the story from ME1 will incorporate with ME2. I preordered ME2 today on Amazon and got an extra 10 bucks off the game. Not a bad deal if your looking to save some cash. This deal is for both the PC and 360. Cheers!

[xx SgtP3pp3r xx]

I was a bit put off Bioware games after Dragon Age. It wasn't terrible but it could have been so much better. I think I will wait before buying it until it drops in price.

[OpiZA]

Great stuff, Looking forward to it

[jalen247]

Fantastic score! PC gamers and 360 gamers enjoy!

[ThaGeNeCySt]

This is going to be my GOTY for this year. No questions asked.

Sidenote: Who cares if people claim they're going to get it on PC or not? It's easy to tell who really will and won't. The same ones claiming they will because it will be "far superior" are the same ones picking multiplatform games on the PS3 over the PC. lol dont let it bother you, at the end of the day, who cares? We're all gamers anyway

[hoops]

@Dev8 ing

The game is great and I for one enjoyed it greatly...
NOW if you are the type of person that lives and dies by review scores BEFORE buying a game and not playing it for yourself as many on this site seem to be, then 91% overall is definatley not scrapping the barrel.

[kneon]

I picked up the PC verstion of Mass Effect in the bargain bin last week, I saw it and figured I might as well try it, then I can see if I should bother with the new one. But so far it's pretty dull. I just got to the point where I've been made a spectre, does it get any better after this?

[Coolrah]

That we have people trying to say that it somehow benefits microsoft that I buy this game for my gaming rig? Who said that everyone buys their OS legally? I can name a good number of people who haven't payed a cent on anything microsoft to get their gaming rig. Plus the only reason there are only 2 different major OS makers is because Microsoft and its corrupt ways. I mean they did some messed up stuff to get to where they basically have a monopoly on the market. But then again all major companies did some shady things to become famous. Secondly whats wrong with stating that your getting the game for the PC? When its clearly gonna be the better version in all ways. Seriously should I have to name them. ME1 had what better graphics,gameplay, "FREE DLC" seriously fanboys your honestly trying to argue against the fact that the game is already cheaper and the fact we get free dlc for the PC version. Your honestly delusional and sad.

Anyway can't wait to get this game. Really looking forward to how their gonna expand the ME universe.
