Man im so glad. Ive been pumped for this game for so long, and i finally pre-ordered it today. That a game this huge can be put on a single DVD9 says a lot about what good compression can do. When your talking about good developers (and obviously games without too much FMV and CGI), I dont see why most games are going to need more than two DVD's towards the end of this generation, or more than a single-sided Blu-Ray on PS3.

I agree with the compression aspect. The only way I'd accept multiple disks would be for other galaxies or planets that you don't access often.

But ... gameplay is solid. I was so-so on KOTR, but this game has made me change my mind. The scenes where you are talking have sweet graphics. I have seen screens online that compare it to Crysis - and trust me, those things are dead on. Mind you, that's not typical gameplay - those scenes are from shots where characters are talking.

There are some really interesting situations in the game - I am wondering if they will lead to some kind of problem later. At the Citadel, you get hounded by a reporter, Ebony Wong. You are also asked for your autograph from this guy - and I went ahead and signed it. I know the reporter is sniffing for a story but I am being tight lipped to her.

I tell you - I love games with relationships and I haven't seen lesbian alien sex, but I could see easily how it could happen. I know in the Sims, I had like 5-6 women at the same time (one saw me kissing another Sim - in front of her - and they had a catfight). I want to see if I can have 4-5 across the galaxy. Definitely wanna holla at the space marine Willams.

I am going to load up GOW for a few minutes just to make sure my mind's not playing tricks on me. I like the graphics in Mass Effect. The graphics, the sounds, the gameplay and the story will really suck you in ...
