One really annoying thing in this game so far - and its happened twice - is you have to go through a cutscene and/or a conversation to get to the boss/battle.

The cut-scenes can be annoying if you have to repeatedly view them, but the conversations aren't too bad - you can hit X just to skip through sentences.

Finally got past the bit I was stuck on - only took about 25 attempts!

Must have spent an hour or two today also on that stupid commando battle. In the end I had to adjust the difficulty downwards. Pis*ed off that I had to lower the difficulty but another few reloads would have seen me put my boot through the TV!

Great game though

Were you able to do this without starting from scratch again?

Still don't know for absolute certain yet but there's an ebay seller selling the Asian version and he claims it's region free so I'm pretty confident. My copy should arrive from Play-asia tomorrow hopefully so I'll let everyone know.

Finished it last night after playing it through nonstop for two days. It has been a long time since a game has been good enough to make me do that.


I really feel this is the pinnacle of biowares achievements and easily game of the
Year. I think the dialog system was great and offered fantastic options at times.
I also liked that you could play as a grey character and did not have to go fully paragon or renegade.

One of my favourite things about the game was the galactic codex it offered so much information about the mass effect universe and I read every bit of it but
At the same time was completely optional so people who just wanted to push on with the story did not need to look at it with it

The only real problems I had with it were the mako which I felt was abit overpowered and boring to drive around in the occasional glitch that kept me stuck in one place but that happened rarely.

anyone who completed novaria did you let the raknai queen live I usually go evil in these game but the writers did such good job with that scene I decided to let it live.


I also think the writers are bastards for the planet vermire I did everything I could to help out my character that was committing the frontal assault and in the end in made no difference I still had to choose ; ;

I can’t wait till they start releasing downloadable content for this game and only hope they put as much effort into it as they did the main story planets and not the side story missions

Out of curiosity, whats the final amount of play time you racked up? I'v just completed Novaria. It was the first plot mission I went on after finding Benezia's daughter, and even before I started it, I'd already accumulated nearly 20 hours of play time just doing optional stuff. Really a brilliantly immersive game.

And regarding your spoiler:

Yeah I let the queen live though, though I was soley tempted to burn her after fighting all her evil insect offspring. Couldn't bring myself to wipe out an entire race though.

finished in about 26 hours and still left a good few side quests uncompleted

I got the standard in the end as I'm sure all the extras can be seen online for free.

Any word on the regional status of the Asian version yet?

According to that guy (and the pages he links to) it should be region free.

Run, don't walk, to the checkout.

I had already been to that link (and the links therein) but I'd be more trusting of regulars on boards.ie over those on forums I don't frequent. The Ebay guy looks genuine from the feedback but I just a little surprise the regional status hasn't been confirmed by a more credible source.

Had hope someone here might have received their Asian play-asia copy by now.

Sad Professor

My asian version still hasn't arrived yet but it's been confirmed as region-free by a poster over at avforums (where I often post) whom I'm inclined to trust.

Fnz

Thanks Sad Professor.

Picked up the limited edition for €59.99 in Smyths today, must have been a misprice as they had identical boxes out marked €69.99. Thats my Xmas pressie to myself sorted so (well, one of them ).

This game is just getting better and better the more you get into the story. I love the little side quests, really makes things interesting.

The only downside is that I would have to agree with many of the reviews that said the targetting system durning combat could have been better.

Anyone come across any strange wildlife yet?

I came across a herd of strange looking animals but I'm not sure what the purpose is.

There's a planet in the Feros galaxy somewhere that has a monkey related quest.

My copy arrived in the post just now... slapped it in and it booted to the title screen just fine.
Looking forward to getting stuck into it later on:)

Sad Professor

Argh! I'm still waiting on my Play-asia order to arrive. It was sent two weeks ago today.

tman

Mine took about 2 for delivery, so it should hopefully be with you tomorrow...
Pretty cool game so far anyway:)
