Bioware has released a patch. Everything looks way less shit now.

Much better.

She looks like a normal person. Not a supermodel which the only thing that goes down her throat are two of her fingers.

I think its because the way her face moves when she talks is just weird.

I'm doing this in anticipation of Andromeda. I want to do all the original Mass Effect games and so I'm starting with the original game which I felt was the best of the trilogy.

Feros is my current planet and with the graphics turned up it's beautiful how this game looks despite being from 2007.  I did most of all the citadel stuff before heading to Feros and explored a few of the other star systems. The only mission I didn't complete was the Alliance spy satellite where you have to defuse a nuclear bomb planted by a pirate. I just couldn't do that hacking minigame in quick enough time on all 3 spots to get past that so abandoned the planet.

For all my gripes against the Mako it really is a fun vehicle. Mountains are no problem because well fuck it's the Mako. It just starts to move slower but inches its way up and then hilarious physics when you topple over the other side of a high mountain.

I've played this game through a few times and each time it feels different so there's no boredom to be had. I actually liked Feros a lot but do see why people love other places like Noveria which will be coming up next.  I'm nearly up to the part with the Thorian.

My rankings for the original trilogy.

Mass Effect 8/10
Mass Effect 2 6.5/10 Didn't care much for loyalty missions
Mass Effect 3 8/10 with the Citadel and Omega DLC

I'm also going against the grain and I like the extended cut for the 3 endings, and didn't buy into any of the fan rage because well it's subjective and people adopt a herd mentality with these kind of things.

The original set was one of the best ever game series. Shits all over Halo. Halo what Halo?

That's cool

Same. It wasn't the best built game in the trilogy but at least for me it was the best experience I had with it.

Lots of tasks are still bugged.

OH shit guys........ Bugs yuck.

I am breaking my usual trend of waiting a few months and getting it tomorrow because it's relatively cheap still. Wasn't there a patch only recently that fixes things like animations and stuff?

Love how they fix that stuff and not the actual game breaking stuff.


Over here there is a version of the game for consoles that comes with a rather large die cast vehicle like the MAKO and they are charging nearly $300 for that. The pricing seems way over the top but then gamers lol..

I guess the publishers see them as easy marks.


Oh and regards to my post I liked ME 3 Ashley but hated ME 1 Ashley and every time she said "I can't tell the aliens from the animals" I wanted to hit her head against a wall. ME 1 Ashley I found myself not liking.
