Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it, follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!
I wonder if [chat] remembers me

It's got a compelling narrative but the combat isn't great, the side missions are very samey and exploring planets in the Mako, while it gives you a sense of exploration and space adventure, is really fucking boring. The writing also improved a fair bit in ME2 and ME3.
Still a good game, but you may have missed the window where it was awesome fun to play.
Also whenever the thread is closed a gigantic malformed notification appears on the left side of the page.
I just started Dragon Age Origins and I'm thinking about trying Assassin's Creed
so yeah kinda with you there
Testify!
Combat is so incredibly much better in ME2 though.
Goodness. I'm about to move on to Dragon Age II, and and Ass Creed II (once Mass Effect 2 is done, of course).
I am you, in the future.
Burn it. Burn it all.
Or, read a nice, relaxing book.
The main story, sure.
ME2's story substance is in the loyalty missions.
If you play ME2 and you don't do the loyalty missions, you're really missing out.
I agree in some aspects, but the story is quite disjointed in some parts. I remember Virmire (I think) being especially messy. Or maybe it was Feros. The one with Deanna Troi.
ME2 really tightened up the story flow.
Burn a bowl and read a nice, relaxing book?
And after that burn the book.
WOOOOOOOOOOOO
WOOOOOOOO

Other species never take us seriously and they're always slapping our asses and winking in space stations because they just see us as hot but dumb space sex.
I did but I just missed the grand scope of things from 1. Individually they were great, and the locations for some of the missions were even greater.
Surprisingly good - and hard at times too. I likey.
Feros was utterly forgettable and the Deanna Troi part was Noveria which was also somewhat forgettable except for the bit with
Really, if I were King of Hollywood and I were making a Mass Effect 1 movie, I would:
This can't be a coincidence!
Asari are really privileged in ME1. They are the token hot species, oldest civ, extreeeeeme lifespan, most technically advanced etc.
It can't be hard being an upper class blue female asari on the citadel is what I am saying.
2 continues this and manages to both improve and fuck up the fighting.
It strikes me thus far that the strategic 'meat' of the game is creating effective strategies for your NPC teammates, which makes it kind of a Core Wars style, AI-oriented game.
At the very least, trying to train my people to not go all Leeroy Jenkins into hordes of darkspawn has been a bit challenging...
Season 3 Archer Spoiler:
these are my everyday shoes
"No I don't dislike humans, some of my best friends are human. But..."
I would really detest the asari if I were some Batarian schlub working a dead-end job on the citadel.
I didn't get what you meant in your reply about my getting a Macbook Air. What does tax code have to do with the company providing means for computer purchases?
No those are Samba's everyday shoes.
Give em back thief!
Also it contains Alistar. <3 Alistar.
