Mass Effect (PC) first impression

I would have totally made this post yesterday, but the yerkpod re-recording tied me up…so here it is now.

I originally watched Axia play this game for several hours and found it really enjoyable to watch.  This is probably one of the only games I can say this about.   So, after I had the ability to borrow games, I decided to try out Mass Effect on the Xbox 360.  Yes, 1080i is pretty and yes, 5.1 surround sound is awesome.  That does not help this game one bit.  The gameplay feels like a plastic $5 airsoft gun compared to an actual $600 gun.  Nasty and gross!

Continuing my story down here… days later, I broke down and bought the PC version on promises of better graphics and a better mid-game ability system.  They delivered on their promise, also nailing the gameplay with the keyboard and mouse.  The game feels so much better and focused on the PC.

I’ll spend more time with it, and give the full assesment after I finish (could be a while).

That’s a picture of my crew and myself hangin out at the citadel.
