I read something positive about mass effect so I`d figure I`d pirate (love pirating products ms earns money from) mass effect 1 and 2. I started to play #1(on PC) and here`s my first impressions:
1. Fantastic title screen music. Perfect for a space game. 2. Creating character is a tad better than oblivion iv(dunno why I compare to that game), but characters still look crappy. Need a mod perhaps. 3. I puked when I saw and heard joker. Why can`t western developers create life-like computer characters. Even when the graphics are amazing they look like dolls. And why open the game with a filthy clichè character like him? 4. The aiming in combat is unaccurate. The strategy is non-existent. Trying to command troops is hopeless. Equipment system works great. 5. Most important part is the rpg elements and they are just bla bla bla. Let me explain: If you can skip parts or all talking, why add so much talking? Surely no-one is playing this game for the action elements. The story so far seems it`s taken right out of Babylon 5 series. Aliens poor designed. No realism in a far future where aliens co-exist with humans. No depth. I`m only 4 hours into the game, but still I`m bored with the conversation and skip a lot unless it`s the main story. Worst moment: When I became a spectre and the hollywood music roared in the backround. 6. Level design is poor. Example: the first city you`re in is lifeless and hard to navigate in.
These are my first impressions. I might have another go, but the will to continue is low so far. Maybe mass effect 2 is better, but I hate to play a second part of a game when the first is not finished. I wanted to play this game because I expected it to be a a+ game and read so much positive in us reviews. So far I`m massively dissapointed.
Thanks for reading.

I wish you puked on your PC so you won;t be able to play your pirated copies of these two marvelous games.
Anyway, you seem to ignore MASSIVE elements of the games' structure (why so much talking? it is a Bioware RPG for god's sake, Why inaccurate shooting? the PC rolls the dices on the background. R-P-G) so, I don;t think anyone should take this seriously...
Either way, trying to judge such a diverse game (and not only judge, but actually upload these poor thoughts on the internet) by playing 4 hours, (i assume, you hardly explored the Citadel), it is a poor choise by itself.
CYa!
