Ya it was the premium said it was 20 but it would only let me store around 13. The extended cut was like 3 gb. All the dlc omega, the citadel, and leviathan was like 6 or 7 total. I could barely clear enough for me2. Sadly I didn't have enough room. And the dlc didn't come out till after I beat the game, and once u beat it it's over, I'd had have to restart the game.

 

  Anyway the prospect of a collection is very appealing. I haven't played me1 in around 3+ years. And it's one of those games that u want to go back to every couple years, much like kotor. I'd like to try for 3000 gamer score in one playthrough of the series. Want to try the dlc so bad. 

 

 It's such a great series the characters are second to none, and same for the universe. Halo and even Star Wars lore fails in comparison if u ask me, and that's saying a lot since I'm a fanboy of those 2. The story is very good as well especially in 1. Gameplay faulters in the first 2 a bit but I don't care every one of those games are atleast a 9.5.

The Xbox with the 20gb hd I mentioned broke when I was playing ME3. I was around half way on 2nd playthrough and noticed the game froze than when I tried switching games the disc reader wouldn't work properly. Than I was Xboxless for about 3-4 months than picked up a 250gb slim.

 

All I remember was seeing some of those dlc's being like 2-3gb's each. I was in shock compared to dlc's from other games being like 500-800mb on everage. But since I got the slim I don't have the mood to play ME3 cause it seems like no matter what you do or what choices you made you get that same ending. ME2 would be my most favorite between the trilogy.

I used to be the biggest ME head I've ever known. ME1 was the definition of next gen to me (in the 7th gen).

A big open world game that you could approach combat from a lot of angles. The environment at the time really looked extra-terrestrial. And on top of that we could explore it for loots, even though they were limited and recycled.

The RPG elements were more robust with deeper customization but somewhat cluttered. I loved it though because I could really customize my weapons to become unique on each run through. I could customize my barrel, stock, rounds, sights, etc... there was even a plethora of body armor customization.
There is no such thing in the rest of the series.

It had remarkable characters in it (Saren is one of my favorite video game villains). The races played a big part in the game as they all had different traits and cultures that we could learn from interacting with them.

And then came along ME2 that was a big corridor TPS. A marvelous game on its own but it wasn't Mass Effect anymore. There was no exploration, most characters had plastic personalities with cliches side missions (AI companions) and the RPG aspect of the game got toned down to superficial.

ME3... finished it in 1 week, closed the steel case ( Collector's edition) and never opened it again. It's been almost 3 years.



I enjoyed ME1 as well. I picked that one as a Xmas present when it came out. Even got the Bring down the sky and Pinnacle Station dlc for it. I especially liked roaming around in the Mako.



I think Dragon AGE:I screwed up a mission for me. I was doing the mission in the hinterlands where you have you kill all the apostates in their base. I proceeded to this area where I wiped them all out IN the base and the ones surrounding it (where the purple search area is on the mini map) however, the quest states I still have to kill them?

i tried reloading the area and its doesnt seem to work, no enemies on my mini map either so now i am pissed lol.  Also this happened 50 hours ago so no turning back now. On a other notes loving the game so far, definately my GOTY

The Killer instinct season thing is pretty good, only disliking the updates. Want to start it up and have to download an 11GB patch


Yeah. Yestarday when the update finally downloaded I got stuck on checking DLC screen every time I tried to start the game. Then I reinstalled it - which took like 5 ****** hours and then it didn't want to let me play my season one characters. I did hard reset like 4 times. Finally I got it working after WHOLE day.

It seems that the Xbox One is underestimated in France.

The boss of Nintendo France said Wii U and Xbox One should be very close in sales by year end. He expects about 550,000 Wii U sold in France by the end of 2014, so Xbox One is probably around 500,000 units sold.
In comparison, Vgchartz says 331k for Xbox One actually..

He is talking about 2014 sales. VGC is actually right on that one.



Won bet with t3mporary_126 - I correctly predicted that the Wii U's LTD at the end of 2014 would be closer to 9 million than 10 million. http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/post.php?id=6673287

Where are my indie games? I need my indie game fix!



Microsoft will recover the money soon enough.
