Is Mass Effect a RPG? I try the first one it was boring and hard to play.

Just bought UFC 3 Undisputed. Haven't gotten a chance to play yet but I'm gonna really open it up tonight.

Also waiting for MLB 12: The Show.

Also waiting on I am Alive, that comes out at the end of March. That trailer though has me excited for what the game is gonna be all about.

I don't mean to offend but do you like girls? I remember you saying that.

You are like my version of the "gay guy" chicks fall in love with but can't have becasue they are gay.

You like beer, play video games, etc... I am crying just thinking of the life we could have had together. =)

I just hope they fix the frame rate drops on the PS3 version. Haven't been this excited about a game in a while. Very few games can strike the type of balance you see in Mass Effect. It's linear enough that it provides a great story but not so linear that you can't explore and do your own thing.

Was two better then 3? Do you have to play them in order? Are they RPG?

I personally started out with 2 after it came out and PS3 and then went back to 1 when I got a chance to borrow a 360 for a couple of weeks. ME3 doesn't come out until 3/6/12.

If you get the chance I would recommend playing them in order but in all honesty the first one can get pretty boring at times, plus the graphics make it look a little dated but if you stick with it it's a very satisfying game and even despite it's drops in action at certain points not to hard to get through unlike a game like Fallout.

Second one is easier to get into as it's much more streamlined then the first and it has a very good story.

The game gives you the option to import your character from the previous version or select the choices you made in previous games via a comic that activates before you customize your character.

Another thing I like about it is the difficulty allows people like me who care more about the story to breeze through the combat while giving hardcore players the option to make it challenging.

And the best selling point for Mass Effect......side boob.

I played the first one and felt like it was really hard to target and shoot people; like almost painful to do so

Dirtbag, it's amazing how many dumbasses are allowed to debate things they know nothing about.

Yeah, like a lot of early 360 games the gameplay was unpolished. The second is a lot more streamlined and action oriented.
