Again, my character here. You can make some really great faces. All I have to say is to really be sure you like your character's face/hair/background before you start the game proper because you'll be staring at this face for 40 hours or more and the character history plays a big role in not only how people treat and talk about you but also in some pretty major plot points (and presumably twists).

This picture was taken pretty early on. I'm about 30 hours in now and this was like, at hour 5 or 6. She has different armor now and has evolved into another "class" beyond soldier.

It's not actually trolling if you don't admit it

Not sure, but I've been told the game is around 40 hours if you do sidequests like crazy, and shorter if you don't.

As far as the story is concerned, I feel like I just got through a section with a lot of reveals, explanations, and minor surprises so I think I must be at least halfway through if not more.

Only thing to do is to play more. Cuz I really can't play VF5 or COD4 seriously before I finish Mass. And then there's SMG and Uncharted... sigh.

I find this name hilarious because it's what my mom calls my fiancee because for some reason she can never remember her name is Makiko.

That was a good commercial, but only in the sense that I know what kind of game MAss Effect is. If I didn't know, that commercial wouldn't have helped me one bit. So, in that sense, it's not all that great (talking of the one posted on the last page. if there's another one I didn't see, I'll check it out).

It would be impossible to explain the details of Mass Effect in 30 seconds and not have it be a "list commercial."

This commercial is a great way of getting the name and overarching style of game across to intrigue people so when they walk into EB they go "So, about this mass effect..."

So I was out looking for Mario Galaxy today, I went into a local K-mart, looked at the wii section, no Mario. I glace at the 360 section for no reason, I dont have one yet, and what do I see MASS EFFECT. I could not believe my eyes, in fact I stilll think I maybe crazy or something. All games were behind a glass so I could not hold it, but I examined it as best I could, unless its the most elaborate pre-order box in hisrtory wrapped up and all, that was the game. I never find game early and the one time I find a game I want really badlly its the time I dont have the console to play it on.

So Miami gaf, K-Mart at Kendalll and 137 ave, they had about 5 copies behind the glass. I am going again tomorrow to make sure I am not totally insane, but as far as I can tell its there for sale.

I'll do it for one, but I dont want to buy five copies, I would have to put this on my credit card and crap. So PM me, you were first, I'll see what I can do.

Nah, they could have had something dealing with the shooting/action scenes in there. Maybe in a different commercial I guess.

99% certain they are just promotional boxes. They did this for Halo 3 as well (anyone remember those french game store workers posing with empty LE boxes?) just to prep the market for what the box art looks like.

Probably, but why behind a glass case with every other game. Anyway I will ask to see it tomorrow, see whats up, I dont see how they could have the game two weeks early.

Damn, watching that escaping ship video was a tiny bit of a spoiler since I don't think I've gotten there yet. :lol

But yeah, this game fucking rocks.

If you're going to look at someone's face and arse for 20 + hours it just makes sense.
