Mass Effect is amazing, I hope it continues on in some way. I guess I'll know more when I get to the end. (25 hours in here)

I have it right now but can't play it because of the stupid import bug. AAARRARRAGHH!
by magiccoffeepot Friday, March 09, 2012 at 02:26 PM

I'm loving it and I haven't even started my legit playthrough yet, I'm just messing with all of the non-good endings for my several ME2 characters to see how the game continues the story.

Bought it on day one. Loving every moment of it.
by Mr. Derp Friday, March 09, 2012 at 02:28 PM

Anyone who loves games needs to buy this. If you haven't played the first two...what the hell is wrong with you? Buy all three immediately.

Great game so far.
by SolaireSunbro Friday, March 09, 2012 at 02:33 PM

I'm renting it for the multiplayer but I'll be buying it soon.
by TecHead Friday, March 09, 2012 at 02:39 PM

About 23 hours in, and I know the endings gonna be amazing.

by Grant Cleaveland Friday, March 09, 2012 at 02:48 PM

Still have to pick up this game. I haven't finished ME2 yet (finished the first one), so I don't want to start anything new just yet. :)
by cornerstorefacade Friday, March 09, 2012 at 02:52 PM

Here's a response from a fan, Bioware: Bite me. You can't even get importing my character's face right. Unbelievable.
by Bluecoat09 Friday, March 09, 2012 at 02:52 PM

it's a fantastic title and deserves to will double sell triple that number!
by Zero Friday, March 09, 2012 at 02:58 PM

Mass Effect being linked to pop culture scares me more than anything.
by papajon555 Friday, March 09, 2012 at 03:06 PM

by The Murph Friday, March 09, 2012 at 03:09 PM
