Post 17
Any opinions on it? Still deciding if I should buy it.
Post 18
very good, but has some issues.
read any review and you will get the gist.
The dialog is top notch, the story is great, the action is above average.
A few minor niggles in the graphics, texture pop in and what not. Annoying loading times, hidden by sloooooooooooooooooooooooow elevators (the one in your ship being the worst offender) and a few story arcs that just "end" and don't feel finished.
if you can over look all of those, it's a fantastic game.
Post 19
a little TOO much talking imo. i spend more time waiting for dialogue than i do running around DOING shit.
Post 20
Think I'm more inclined to rent this one, and buy Assassin's Creed (more my thing).
Post 21
too much goddamn talking in that game too. at least you can move around in the cutscenes.
Post 22
You could probably finish AC in one rental session.
Mass Effect on the other hand, you would have trouble with, especially if you want to get the whole story.
Post 23
PA nitpicking mass effect, posted cos I can.

Assassins Creed is excellent. I might in the near future get a 360 and get a few games.

I sold my PS3 for now, as the only thing I was using it for is media streaming. All the games that are exclusive to the PS3 become boring as batshit very quickly, and all the good titles are available cross-platform.
I re-purchased a 360 for the better games available right now (Mass Effect, Halo 3, Forza 2, Project Gotham Racing 4, their XBL poker game). Plus a range of little things I liked more... being able to recieve/send messages in game, listen to my own music while in game, and the controllers are more comfortable + have rumble.
That said, I'm already missing my PS3 esp. now that the GPU has been unlocked in Linux, but will re-purchase a 40GB model when the XBMC Linux port is ready, Gran Turismo 5 is out, Home is out and the controllers have rumble. Sometime next year I assume.
Post 28
when XBMC linux is up and running, i too will be buying a PS3
best app ever.
