Mass Effect
Scruffy:
I hate to resurrect this especially positive discussion with this, but that PC DRM is aweful.
You only get 3 installs... I mean, I just read 6 pages of awesomeness and I still can't force myself to throw away money, when I only get 3 freaking installs! Gah! This is the type of game I'd come back and play 5 years from now. The chances of having those installs then are slim at best.
I've installed games that fail during installation. (my computer laughs) thats 1.
Play through it, eventually format 3 months later. Thats 2.
If I want to play it again I'd have to be damned sure I want to. IE, it sits in a box forever with 1 freaking register. Woopie.
I know they are trying to prevent this, but meh; I also tend to play games and resell them getting 50-75% back on half.com or something. Thats completely out now. I ignored it for Bioshock thanks to the revoke tool and had 5 activations. 5 activations would be fine imo. Plenty for errors and reformats, but geeze, 3?
/Sorry, whiney McWhinerson here. But man, I feel screwed. I was going to pay $50 out the gate, but now I feel compelled to wait until someone officially cracks the DRM. Then I'll burn it to a dvd and tape it to the Mass Effect disc, which I eventually either copy or get on half.com for $5, since after a couple months people will be wanting to get rid of it.

If you've got problems (and it seems like a lot of people do, my copy's serial # allows me to play the game but not to register online, for some strange reason) and have run out of installs, tech support should give you more. Just, uh, be willing to wait a few days.

That sir is awesome, but I can't risk one of your installs if it goes wrong. Thanks anyway.

After tiring a bit of GTAIV, I started up my Mass Effect campaign again last week and finished it last night.
The game is awesome. So much more detailed and involving that KOTOR ever was, and KOTOR was pretty detailed and involving.
I managed to play "Bring Down the Sky" right before the point of no return, which kind of broke the whole "Race against time" flow of the game, but whatevs.
I almost want to buy another copy for PC just for the streamlined UI, but really, I like getting Xbox Achievements.
My initial playthrough was with a female Shephard Infiltrator, so I guess I'll go male Soldier or Adept this time.
Storm Rider:
See, I did a Paragon Soldier the first time, so after getting the Assault Rifle achievement I could immediately give the Renegade Adept I started next weapons he shouldn't be able to master and created a completely broken character that can use powerful guns and all the oh so amusing Force biotic powers at the same time.
