Point Man Posted February 13, 2008 Posted February 13, 2008 Well, it looks like the tax refund is going toward a new graphics card and monitor to optimize the eye candy
Meowster Posted February 13, 2008 Posted February 13, 2008 Ooh, wonderful! This game looks marvelous, however, I had no 360 so I felt all hope was lost. And then this happends! I'm probably going to need to upgrade my computer three years. So out of date...
Serpentine Cougar Posted February 13, 2008 Posted February 13, 2008 Looks like this will be THE version of the game to get then, 'cuz of mod possiblities and everything. Can't wait!
Ghost Down Posted February 13, 2008 Posted February 13, 2008 Any idea what the system requirements will be?
Prime Posted February 13, 2008 Posted February 13, 2008 Wow, that was a lot faster than I thought it would take. I guess I need to start looking at new machines. I wonder how moddable it will be??
adamqd Posted February 13, 2008 Posted February 13, 2008 I hope We can mod it to be Star Wars!! Mass Effect was a massive disappointment to me (IMO), but the basis for a good game was there, graphics were awesome etc. Maybe I can make it a game I enjoy
dewayne26 Posted February 13, 2008 Posted February 13, 2008 lol i'm was mainly getting a xbox360 in june was for Mass effect and maybe Force Unleashed now i'm not so sure i will lol
swphreak Posted February 13, 2008 Posted February 13, 2008 Now to see if the texture pop ins and loading times are fixed/faster.
Negative Sun Posted February 14, 2008 Posted February 14, 2008 Let's hope it's not like Crysis or has at least a 8800GTX bundles with it Kicka$$ stuff, can't wait...
Pho3nix Posted February 14, 2008 Posted February 14, 2008 This is great news, and as others have stated above ^ I hope the system requirements aren't bat**** crazy.

Rogue Nine Posted February 14, 2008 Posted February 14, 2008 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130325 I'd recommend this one, as it's a whole bunch cheaper than the PNY version.
Aash Li Posted February 14, 2008 Posted February 14, 2008 O.O SO glad I didnt buy a 360... this was the only game that made me want to buy one. Cant wait to buy it!

Probably not, Lucasarts seems to have a certain fondness for putting a stop to Starwars mods for games not released by them. Great news that a PC version is in the works, seems like it's time to start caring about this game and see what it is about. I just hope the system requirements aren't too draconian.

I just hope the system requirements aren't too draconian. Just don't believe everything you read, good or bad. People claim to have completed the game in like 7 hours, but the shortest play through I’ve ever had was like 24 hours the first time I played. My guess with your knowledge of other games, you take your time and really explore. My last time through, I believe my seventh, took 56 hours. There are many Easter Eggs hidden throughout the game, many I had no clue what they were about, but with your knowledge of games you might. Still have to play the game as a renegade, I’ve tried, but was not able to get to 75% in order to get the Xbox achievement. I am trying to figure out with all the help you’ve given me in the past would I recommend this game to you. After all, you made Oblivion complete enjoyment for me. Best I can say, Mass Effect is a beautiful, well written and has a great ending, but it also has flaws and some plot holes. Yes, I would recommend it, especially since you did not follow all the hype. Just know that combat is not turn based. One request, if you do indeed get Mass Effect, I would really like to see the PC you create with the Character Creation system Bioware came up with for Mass Effect. If you can do what you did with Oblivion’s Character Creation system, I can’t wait to see your Mass Effect PC.
Ctrl Alt Del Posted February 15, 2008 Posted February 15, 2008 That's cool. Eh, well I'm probably getting it (Not that much of a necessity), but the if the mods are dying for, I might as well hurry it.
correllian_thug Posted February 15, 2008 Posted February 15, 2008 im just to happy there isn't a word for it...... best news since KOTOR was released IMO
Da_Man_2423 Posted February 15, 2008 Posted February 15, 2008 Sweet. Was hoping this one would come to the PC.
Aash Li Posted February 15, 2008 Posted February 15, 2008 Didnt they say once that ME would never come to the PC though? O.o

O.o They probably used the wonderfully PR-diplomatic phrase "We have no plans at this time to..." which is a No which could change into a Yes at any time. mimartin said: Just don't believe everything you read, good or bad.

If you can do what you did with Oblivion’s Character Creation system, I can’t wait to see your Mass Effect PC. Sounds like a typical Bioware RPG in many respects, from what I've heard so far, so chances are I will probably like it when I get it. Since I've been unable to play it so far (due to its console-only nature) I haven't bothered looking much at the game before though. I'll post screenshots of my character when I get the game.
Web Rider Posted February 15, 2008 Posted February 15, 2008 Much as I look forward to being able to get this for the PC, I'll probly be cheaper to buy an X360 than to upgrade my PC to be able to play this.

(Still need to get The Witcher, and VTM Bloodlines) I am trapped in Stormreach... send platnium pieces! Indeed, I still haven't gotten around to playing Jade Empire, and Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion got put on the backburner because I'm going back through K1 to play Brotherhood of Shadow. Still, nice knowing another good (I hope) game will be on the PC. Now if we only knew if The Force Unleashed is getting a PC release or not (same for GTA4). At least Mercenaries 2 is coming soon.
Aash Li Posted February 15, 2008 Posted February 15, 2008 Stoffe you keep coming up with new and prettier versions of that avatar... <3

I agree. It also has a lifetime warranty (as do BFG and XFX cards), which the PNY card lacks. @Jimbo: Your monitor dollars would also be better spent on an 8-bit (PVA; MVA; IPS) panel instead of a 6-bit one. TN panels should never be that expensive, IMO. OT: Yeah, I knew that a PC version of ME would be released eventually; I just didn't expect that it would happen so soon.
