Mass Effect

Lol none taken, well i doubt porting would take THAT long so who knows, anyways i dont know if my graphics card would handle it even if it came out for PC, using geforce 6600 GT

No info has been released that Mass Effect will be an PC port, but some PC mags have been seeing rumors that it will.

If we went by how long it took for Bioware to do the same with KoTOR then we will see an PC port by next June. Probably not going to happen though.

Your GeForce 6600 GT probably wont cut it even it was released right now.

Kotor was always promoted as going to PC after the xbox, so I would say it will take much longer.

How long did Halo take before it turned to the PC? I guess we might have a similar time span for ME.

Shit, that was a year or two I think. Thats just off top of my head, could of been a month for all I know. 🙄 😛

Wikipedia to the rescue: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halo_Combat_Evolved
X-Box release: November 15th 2001/March 14th 2002 (US/EU)
PC release: September 30th 2003/October 10th 2003 (US/EU)

Year and half(ish), right in the middle of what I said. 😛

Wow.........so many side missions on the Citadel. Kind of overwhelming at first. I won't be leaving any time soon. Phew!

Also, in my group ahora mismo, I have

Spoiler:
Ashley Williams and Tali

I plan on keeping it that way as well.

So, how big is the Citadel?

About 100 pages out in the ME novel now, and the Citadel is obviously very big, however, most RPGs limit so darned much of every big city (Telos in KOtOR for example) making them seem not so big, does Citadel feel big?

Not really, you are limited to basically two sections. Its very much like Kotor, where they give you a planet(or station in the case of the Citadel) but you only get a very small portion to explore.

Id say its smaller than the first planet of Kotor.

But they let you look off a balcony and have your crew talk about how awesome it is. 😂

Awwww, I wan't free roaming cities in RPGs....

Yeah, thats probably the biggest disappointment to me. They said you had a huge galaxy to explore, but you can only land on a few of the planets, and the ones you can are very restricted and linear.

After Oblivion I wanted huge open areas to do what I want, but its got basically the same design as Kotor which bothered me back then. But I still think this is better than Oblivion. 😛

Very hard to do in video games, as they take up a lot of room.

Yeah I know, if they did try to make free roaming like GTA/AC/something then it would seriously impact on the RPG elements/story etc.

However I can still wish for things can't I?

And it's still a nice size......it has different levels......so it's not all one flat surface.

I'm glad for the restrictions of the level size.

Mass Effect is more of an cinematic RPG than Oblivion is. Heck, you can make the case that Mass Effect is not an RPG but an hybrid Dues Ex kinda of game.

If it was big as it could be, I would never of finished it. One problem I had with Mass Effect was the amount of driving and walking that I had to do. Very small problem though, but if it was any bigger the game would of taken years to build. The other problem that I found was that the planets didnt really look different. Once you get past the green, red, grey planets with its mine, complex, basement complex and freighter levels everything starts to look the same.

Give me a world that's unique (like Twilight Princess) than an world that is massive.

The story missions on the otherhand are amazing. Last level is a sight to behold in my opinion and whoever complained the graphics sucked ass should play to the last level.

When you say "Story Missions" are you referring to the the "Side Missions" or the Main Story itself?

Anata wa wakarimasu ka.....

The missions that involve the story.

Then the ones that you have to do........which would be the story itself...........okay then.
