I hate the idea that every game needs multiplayer these days. Mass Effect is fantastic as a single player game and I would hate any form of multiplayer. Why can't a 20-30 hour (minimum) quest be enough for your $60 when you pay like $10 for a two hour movie? Some games do benefit from multiplayer but it shouldn't be a requirement. Half-Life 2 was phenomenal and didn't need multiplayer (I never touched HL2:DM). Fallout 3 was great without needing multiplayer. Mass Effect is the same way.

Ok rant is finished.

As far as a new playthrough:

I finished my second playthrough not to long ago. I did a male Earthborn-Ruthless-Soldier (Tim Shephard, a renegade) then a male Spacer-Sole Survivor-Infiltrator (Logan Shephard, paragon overall but I dealt with my crew and Cpt. Anderson in a nice way all the time and dealt with the Council, the ambassador, and almost everyone else as a jerk, my idea for Logan was that he really cared for his crew but didn't give a shit about the government's red tape and bureaucracy and generally liked helping those in real need so he would be nice when the guy needed his wife's body back but a jerk when people needed trivial things) for my second game. Over holiday break I plan on starting a female Colonist-War Hero-Adept as I have never played a biotic class or woman. For my party; in my first play through I used Wrex and Garrus and then on my second I used Ashley and Wrex. Wrex always has the best lines in the game so I find it really hard to leave him on the Normandy.

Another question; did anyone here get Pinnacle Station DLC and if so how was it? I went in a few weeks ago and traded in my Mass Effect for Mass Effect Platinum Hits because it comes with Bring Down the Sky and I liked the way they did that quest, much more robust than the usual side quests.

*Yawns*

I'm towards the end of my first playthrough, but I don't really play through games like that multiple times, instead I just try and do everything I can in one playthrough. So I did all the side missions I could find, long before most of the story missions.

Anyway, my dude is Paul Sheppard, an Infiltrator, full-paragon.

Looking forward to ME2.

Um excuse I have freedom of expression about the game , just like someone has freedom of expression about Britney Spears music.

The game is boring, awful and not worth the money in my opinion. Its a like a rip off in my opinion.
I forgot to mention the graphics suck on the Xbox 360.

Why is there always some bullshit going on.

I wasn't yawning at the thread, I yawned at the game. I personally think is boring, graphics aren't all that on the X-box 360 it is unoriginal and the storyline isn't all that. Its my opinion and I don't see how is that disrespecting your discussion.

Well it is basically like a Star Wars rip-off in my opinion.

Anyway, I'm not going to get deep into to it. This is a discussion not a debate. I just posted what I thought of the game and I have the right to do that. If you felt disrespected that's your problem.

I didn't mean it had to have multiplayer, just saying it would be pretty cool if it did and would add more hours to it which is good, because as many options there are when you play the game it gets boring at parts and it would be nice to have some mindless plot-less shot em up action against real people.

And also about the Star Wars things that's the most crazy thing I've ever heard. How the hell can you possibly compare the two :L Sure, they're set in the future with loadsa aliens. WOWZA. The two have no simularities aside from the fact they're Sci-Fi. Star Wars is basically about one person how he goes from being a beacon of hope for the galaxies to being an evil murdering psychopath (again, BASICALLY.) Whereas Mass Effect's about a hyper-advanced alien/robot thingy that comes to destroy the Galaxy. Basically.

You obviously no nothing about the game.

Okay, would you like to explain what choice you make at the end of the game, and how it affects the council?

I said the Star Trek thing as well a bit earlier. Actually I think you first brought up the point that ME is a hard sci-fi universe. The game makes sure to give an explanation (using the games science) to every piece of tech as well as giving history, culture, political, and military knowledge on all of the races.

During the last battle scene I seem to remember some of the human ships looking a little more worn down or less grandiose (similar to the rebellion ships in Star Wars). The biggest draw to me with Mass Effect eventually became the Codex. I loved having that kind of universe be fully realized. I know how ships propel themselves, why the guns don't need ammo, and so forth.
