Chris Posted November 8, 2007 Report Share Posted November 8, 2007 Too. Many. Games. Not. Enough. Money.Good to have this level of choice though. Personally I'm going to buy Assassin's Creed and wait on Mass Effect. Maybe pick it up after christmas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acey Trixx Posted November 8, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2007 Too. Many. Games. Not. Enough. Money.QUOTE]Agreed. Like you say though means that after this flurry of games even if theres a couple months in the new year thats slack still got plenty of titles to go back and pick up.

Skull Commander Posted November 8, 2007 Report Share Posted November 8, 2007 I loved Knights Of The Old Republic, but to be honest I havn't really given this game much attention. Like you guys are saying the silly season is upon us once again where every company tries to flog us their AAA wares at the same time, while you are surviving on a tighter than normal budget due to having to buy everyone else presents! I even cancelled my call of duty 4 pre order due to the overwhelming gameage that I have to catch up on and the lack of fundage. I will maybe catch mass effect when I win the lottery and can live a life of lesuire............ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
framheim Posted November 9, 2007 Report Share Posted November 9, 2007 i think mass effect will have to wait till next payday and cod 4 for christmas i reckon. will pick up assasins creed on a special offer after christmas no doubt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Posted November 14, 2007 Report Share Posted November 14, 2007 Assassin's Creed has been getting fairly mediocre reviews. Think I might just pick up Mass Effect on Friday instead, or maybe Lego Star Wars The Complete Saga. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Gold Posted November 14, 2007 Report Share Posted November 14, 2007 I'd say that something scoring around the 6 (or 60%) mark would be mediocre.That's how it should work, I agreeBomberman: Act Zero for Xbox 360 Review - Xbox 360 Bomberman: Act Zero ReviewHowever that game got almost 3/10 on gamespot, yet has no apparent good points and also goes to the trouble of shitting on a much loved series. If that's the 'zero' point, then it suggests that 7/10 is pretty mediocre. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(cross platform)Does that mean if a game scores an average of less than 9/10 it's mediocre these days?IGN and Eurogamer are quite reliable and they gave it 7/7.5 which is mediocre compared to what I was hoping it would be and what I imagine Mass Effect is going to get and what COD4 has been getting (the only thing stopping me from buying this is that I already have 2 shooters to play through and don't want another just now). Eurogamer said it's still a good game but not as good as Crackdown which it has a lot in common with and is let down by repetitive and limited gameplay (I'm paraphrasing).

WoodyRATM Posted November 23, 2007 Report Share Posted November 23, 2007 Anyone played this yet?worth getting it like now? or just wait till its cheaper? or just avoid in all? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brymon Posted November 24, 2007 Report Share Posted November 24, 2007 I've been playin it for the best part of the day. I like it, it's not without it's flaws though. Graphics could be better, the frame rate is a bit shit ie it jerks now and again and once you get into your ship and travel the galaxy, when you assemble you team and go out onto planets you've gotta go all the way back to your ship to change them if you want, which is a bit of a pain in the arse!However its massive, the plot's pretty good and there is heaps to do!! Ill be playing this for a while me thinks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acey Trixx Posted November 24, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2007 the only problem ive really had with it is texture pop up but its not enough to stop me from playing it. loving it so far..gonna be able to give it a proper session when im off tomorrow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brymon Posted November 24, 2007 Report Share Posted November 24, 2007 One of the things i really like about it is being a nastay bastard, my renegade points are climbing right up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acey Trixx Posted November 24, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2007 ive got the paragon points going right up at the moment. will play through the game again and get the renegade points going no doubt. also after playing the start of the game it really is advisable to read the book first. Alot more backstory from reading that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
