Mass Effect (360, PC) - PC System Requirements Released

[Fallenblackrose]

From what ive heard you would be ok if you've played a lot of KOTOR

[Zippy]

Aye, I guess so - I haven't though so it's a bit of a shock going from COD4 to this. It's a nice change though, just takes loads of getting used to - even simple things like crouching and poking around a corner seems a bit difficult.

w00t i'll be fine ive clocked up a sad amount of hours on KOTOR 1/2

[Hammer]

Well, I'm reasonably impressed so far.

However, there are a good few bugs that are pretty standard for BioWare games - a good few bugs, poor NPC pathing at times, glitchy NPCS (I found one who was floating about 4 feet above the ground...). The lack of capitalisation in species names also niggles me.

On the flip side, I do like the combat system and the circle conversation selector.

Am loving this, just got my ship.

Aye, very impressed so far, i had just re-installed KotOR the other day too before getting this. The only thing that pisses me off is the way that all the textures and data is streamed off the DVD, making my 360 sound like its about to take off, which spoils the rather beautiful music score the game has. surely they could give Xbox HDD owners the option of caching some of the data to the disk?

Turn the volume on your TV up?

Sweet, my baby should be quite capable of cutting this game up into little shiny chunks for me to chew upon
I'm so up for this game, it's been such a long time since we had a decent sci fi RPG.

[Anhedoniac]

this any good on the PC?
