    This game is make or break for me. If I don't put many hours in then I will probably retire from gaming. Too many games lately I could not give a ****. Fallout New Vegas I put in about 8 hours and that was it. Pissed off with that Bethesda style of ****ty characters, voices, animation and boring missions. The previews of this I've seen look ok but it just seems to be same old crap. When you see the polish, dialogue and characters in Mass Effect you'd wish they could at least come near that level. A massive gameworld doesn't really cut it. I'm probably a 15-20 hour gamer now at best and I just want maximum immersion and quality.

    i would much rather the massive gameworld with stuff to do that the 12 hour snooze fest that was mass effect 2. it may have been polished but it was still boring.

    Bethesda didn't make New Vegas.

    You sir, may now leave the internet.

    Okay, the story wasn't quite up to the first one....and colour coded dialogue wheels will always be moronic....but ME2 was a 9/10 game every day of the week. And most importantly, it had Yvonne Strahovski. Instant win my friend. Instant win..........

    Also, wtf 12 hours? You must have skipped like 2/3's of the game.

    Yeah they did.

    "ehhh., no. they were just the publisher, it was actally"

    **** OFF>

    It wasnt;. Same engine, same publisher, same coders worked on both. A different group did the story and some ****y coding but it was Bethesda's baby.

    just picked 12 hours out of the air, don't remember how long it took :) I did all the quests bar 1 or 2 of the missions for my crew because I'd just stopped caring at that stage and wanted to see if they could pull a great game out of it by the end.

    to this day I don't understand the love that game gets. it wasn't terrible, i don't know that it was even bad.. it was just bland.

    It gets love for the same reason games like batman, elder scrolls, fallout, fable, dragon age, GTA, Final Fantasy etc. gets love. People usually play them solidly through in a couple of sittings because they get drawn into the universe.

    A game can be flawed and still excellent. Story based games excel at this. ME1 was so broken on so many levels. Its still simply brilliant. If people are willing to overlook bad flaws in your game....you know you have made a good one.

    That is it. I just want to believe in the world. I want something with character. Mass Effect had it. The original Fallouts had it in spades and 3 had it a fair bit. Thief is another. GTA Vice City.

    Both types of games have their merits. As a total plot/story whore, I'd generally say that i'd prefer the Mass Effect style (i.e. shorter, with a more condensed story) to the Skyrim style (massive open world), but i love both of them.

    I really do not agree with day 1 DLC, it smacks of money grubbing, they already got 60 bucks now they want another 20, ON DAY ONE? why is it not on the disk with the rest of the game.


    Its not a DLC, its a patch for a few flaws that they found.. its nothing major, just an update to make sure it runs smoother..
    its to be expected with such a vast huge game world!

    Score sounds good but the voice acting is diabolical. It really spoils things when you hear some LA valley accent in a fantasy setting. Could they not just get a load of shakesperian hams which would be bearable.
