If this doesn't come to the PC some day, there will be hell to pay. Seeing as KOTOR and Jade Empire both made it to my platform of choice after a while (with extra goodies attached to Jade Empire), I'm rather hopeful. I can wait as long as it takes, as long as I get it someday...
God I want this game. Nowhere near badly enough to buy a 360, but man. Even factoring in the wooden animations and the weird looking combat, this looks like a real winner. Space operas FTW.
I just steamed the PC version, but if that doesn't work, you might just need to bite the bullet and get the Orange Box.
It's worth it.
Totally worth it.
Aye I was going to Steam it if I was getting the PC version, and reading everything here and having friends praise it, I'm sure I'll cave sooner rather than later
ehhh. CoD4 looks really good and I like the levelling mechanic. But I'm not a shooter fan in the slightest, only played GoW because of the co-op and super shiny.
To get things back on topic, I'm curious as to whether that guy okayed everything through his Microsoft masters. I want my Mass Effect so bad!!!
This is entirely off-topic, but everyone here should play Portal.
It's my GOTY so far.
This is how game threads become chat thread and I will not have it, Sir.
Bah.
Bah I say.
But have you any wool, oh Black Sheep?
And on with the topic, I finally pre-ordered the LE of this today. I don't know why I'd been putting it off, it's not because I'm cautious about the game. Must just be because I have spent a lot on games, and plan to do more, so wanted to delay the inevitable as best as I can. As it is though, just a couple of weeks, and I'm pretty psyched.
So this week I'm working out of town and then on vacation until Monday the 11th. The LE strategy guide is supposed to ship on the 13th.
I'm not sure how I'm going to be able to stop myself from devouring the book before the game arrives. I'm not even a strategy guide kind of person, but I'm wanting to consume every little piece of info I can get about this game until I can play it. But the guide must be full of spoilers.
So... would this plus Rock Band plus Bioshock make a 360 worth it? I ask specifically about this because I haven't really been following it, and I know Rock Band will last me a long time and Bioshock not very long. Is this going to be pretty in-depth/replayable? I like the basic concept from what I've heard.

If you just play the storyline and do nothing on the side you're talking about 30-40 hours gameplay, but if you explore the game universe fully you're talking 80+ hours I think.

Dude yes. And the Orange Box (if you don't have the PC version), and Halo 3, and several other games including some very good stuff on XBLA.
I liked it a lot. It got me really excited for the game.
It's a shame Skarr is dead. I would've liked to kill him in the game. And they do a damn good job of making you hate Saren. If they give you a chance to kill him, I really hope there's an radial menu option labeled "Rape Skull" afterwards. Seriously, I really hate him.
Also, what characters from the book are in the game?

Your Spoiler Question:
David Anderson and Saren are obvious ones, but I haven't seen any mention of any other characters from the book being in-game yet. I wouldn't put it past them to throw in Kahlee, but we shall see.

I figured Saren was a given, but I wasn't too sure about David Anderson. For a while I was thinking it would be cool if you were playing as David, but then it wouldn't allow for the freedom that Mass Effect is giving the player.
I'm really glad I picked up the book. I grabbed it on Saturday afternoon just 'cause I needed something to read and I'm getting pretty hyped for the game. It turned out to be much better than I thought it would be. And it was a damn quick read.

I'm actually in the same boat as alot of people with this. I'm going to be buying a 360 in the next few weeks, and I really think Mass Effect is going to be my first title. Actually getting pretty excited for it

Yes, he is.
Could have sworn that Anderson was the one talking to Shepard in the trailer. Telling him that Saren is the threat.

Keith David is the voice of Anderson.
I know this because when I read the book his was the only voice that fit.
Man, Saren was the only likeable character in that book. And, well, Skarr. All the other characters were written with the subtlety of a tactical nuke; I grew especially foul on the human characters after Goyle made her little speech to the council. I hope humanity gets its ass kicked in the game.
For anyone wondering, it's a decent intro to the universe based on the information you get on the characters and the technology, etc. But it's not very well-written; it's clear that Drew Karpyshyn is better at writing screenplays than an actual narrative, because the dialogue is good. It's just that the internal monologue and the omniscient PoV is pretty corny and groan-inducing sometimes.

For some reason, when reading the book I was picturing Barack Obama as Anderson.
Most likely becaus he was on the TV in the background when I started reading. Keith David is a much better fit. I didn't know Anderson was in the game just 'cause I haven't watched any trailers or anything yet.

You're kidding, right? I mean, I agree with the last part there about humanity, but I'm always astonished by people that see Saren as anything but a poorly-drawn caricature of a crybaby sociopath.
Well, obviously. That doesn't mean he isn't the most interesting character in there, though.
Well I guess if you're into that sort of thing. :P I think the most interesting characters are the ones that only showed up once or twice. Probably because they only showed up once or twice.
