I was on Feros and I acquired a bunch of new weapons that are insanely powerful. They look rugged and military like. I forgot the name but it was damn powerful.

By the way, I recently finished an assignment from the Alliance Military. I didn't get anything out of it. Not even a transmission to congratulate me. Surely they would do or say something to make me want to complete assignments for them in the future.

I've been playing ME for the last few days and the storyline and atmosphere are excellent. It feels quite 'cinematic'. My biggest complaints with the game are the lack of first person view, and the lousy combat system (clunky, and no way to disable aim assist), but both are not deal-breakers. I hope to spend more time with the game this weekend :)

I am not even a fan of RPGs, played only a few before, with Oblivion being my favorite*.

* also my favorite game of all time, ironically.

Yeah, It's the Knights of the Old Republic (both the first and second)

I already ended up the game and felt like replaying it as a bad-azz dude :D (you can choose the dialogues and a bit of story-side tracks)

"Completed the game in 5-6 hours" <--- ??? did you listen to the whole story/dialogue? or you were clicking like crazy lol

Make sure you have the latest WHQL drivers for your card and then await a patch for the game :)

I get those same glitches with my 9600GT but most of the time besides the glitches it's smooth. Just beat it today, the story is simply amazing.

I've done it twice, once renegade and once paragon, both times I did all the side quests i could find then did the main story stuff (yeah i know its sad) and I'm still not bored of the game.

Oh yeah and I have the 3870 and my fps seems to be locked at 60 it only ever goes down to 59 for way less than a second. Everything is on high (or above that if possible, i think a few options let you go higher) and 8x AA 8x AF @ 1440x900. I haven't tried 16x AF and i haven't really felt the need.

One really annoying bug I got was that my guns got stuck in overcharge, so on the last boss (first time i did it) i had to use a pistol since all my over guns had overcharged and I didn't have any training in it so it took me half an hour or some stupidly long time like that :p

Best singleplayer game since I played CoD4.

that happens on the cracked versions....

i'm having a hard time deciding if it's worth buying it for the PC (i played and got all the achievements on the 360 version already) for the expansion pack or just wait a couple years for ME:2

I don't think there is that much difference for you to get it again, if you want to, just download it.

Thanks guys, going to try those now.

And yea, 5-6 hours, wow you really wanted to get through it lol

Lol ya that is fast.

Mass effect is kind of short though, compared to KOTOR. It took me around 30 hours to finish KOTOR 1 and around 10 (or a little more) to finish mass effect.

I finished Mass Effect in about 12 hours total, but I was only focusing on the main missions. I barely did any of the side quests but a friend of mine told me it would extend the game to about 20 hours total. It seems a bit much for simple side quests but I guess it all boils down to how you play the game. Some people can clear it in a matter of hours whereas for others, it may take a while longer.
