I dunno. I also played only 1 hour of Mass Effect, got bored and left it. But everyone talks about it so much so I mite give it a second chance.

Is there a high learning curve for this game? And the combats, are they turn based combined with real time, like in Dragon Age?

No, it's all real time combat. 

yeah, its real time...like laser tag. Pew Pew pew!

And the learning curve? Did u get a good feel of the game in your hour of gameplay?

No...I was confused as fuck. All these menus that enable stuff. Story was badass, but shooting was confusing.

I was a newb to rpg shooters back then thought...bordernalds, fallout 3 later...Im ready to tackle this again.
