Why did you play Mass Effect?

[Isaac Dodgson]

I thought it looked good as well...I also thought I would be given some freedom of choice, different paths to take and ultimately a different story each time I played... They lied to me...

That and I forgot how much fun micromanaging a whole bunch of useless equipment on a not so intuitive menu system was in KOTOR II. [/sarcasm]

I've liked pretty much all preceding Bioware games so, I figured it'd be worth a shot.

Two games for forty pounds at Game Station. They just happend to be Rainbow Six and Mass Effect.

And it turned out I enjoyed it much more than I thought I would. I'm generally a fan of RPGs, and Mass Effect seemed kind of good from what I had heard. So basically they're the only reasons I got it.

Because I wanted something different that what I was currently playing. I enjoy western RPG's and really enjoyed both KoToR games. The character and weapon customizations were pretty cool. Didn't enjoy all the pointless side missions. And the Mako is lame. But it was a welcome change of pace.

it looked pretty good, but i didn't know much about it. i god reccommendations from my friend, so i gave it a shot

I bought it the other day, cant play it yet though. My 360 red ring'd, ffs.

 

[OmegaTalon]

I bought it because I assumed it would be like KOTOR.

Im going to be hated for this but I didn't like it and traded it back in two days, I suppose I was just expecting a turn based combat game rather than a FPS, or I was playing it wrong.

(My guess is on the latter)

It's a "dream game" thing.

I always wanted to play a character jetting around in a space ship within a -serious- Sci-Fi Universe (kinda like Battlestar Galactica, or, in a sense, the "Firefly/Serenity" Universe, less like Star Trek or Star Wars). Not that there are no other games before that allow that...Unreal 2 would be a pretty good example.

That +cool cinematic presentation + 3rd Person Action + a bit of freedom to choose your own Story +cool Music +nice Graphics = Sold.


Another one of those "i always wanted to do that" Games was Assasins Creed...for that, i think i like it a bit more than anyone else does.

I would love to play the game, since I've been a fan of BioWare's stuff for years; but unfortunately, myself and a LOT of other people who bought the PC version are unable to because of constant freeze-ups due to an immense amount of bugs present. I'm actually surprised this sort of thing isn't mentioned in the mainstream gaming press at all because, just check the Mass Effect Tech Forums, this problem is extremely widespread.

I'm a serious RPG addict and have been a fan of pretty much every Bioware game I've ever gotten my hands on. Though one of these days I really need to go back and actually finish the Baldur's Gate series.

Yes. Yes you do.

Mass Effect was fun. It looked incredibly intriguing from the trailers, and past experience taught me that Bioware has a tough time actually making a bad game. Choice was easy. When it was all said and done, I was really only disappointed in the rather bland uncharted worlds. Even then, some of them were interesting in their own unique way. Just not exactly what I was hoping for.
