    120hrs of game play needed to finish the game from one reviewer i read. that's insane.

    I just played the first one a long time ago when it came out. Didn't have time to play the others but I would like to get back into it as both the story and gameplay were awesome. Do you know if I can go from 1 to 4 while skipping the 2 other titles (without any spoilers please )?

    Yes you could if you wanted. Mass Effect 2 is still up there with Skyrim for the most enjoyable game Ive ever played though

    Amazon's been pretty slow with shipping my pre-ordered games lately. Looks like i won't get mine for a while yet, as they're still preparing for shipment. Disappointing about the reviews, but I'm sure I'll still have a blast with it. I've had a hankering for Mass Effect lately. I've got to choose which to play first between this and Horizon, but I'll probably start with ME.

    Nice, thanks HR! I'll probably get the 2nd one previously played before since it's usually in the bargain bins at my local EB games. If it's a good game, I don't care if it's old or new. I mean, I still love games like FF7, Secret of Mana, Mario 64 and the original Castlevania

    That's my thinking with the reviews. I picked it up yesterday. Probably won't have time until tonight or tomorrow though

    On a PS4 side note....WTF is up with the system needing like 40 GB of space just in case??

    At least you can finally use an external drive to store and run games on the PS4. I ordered a 1TB drive a couple days ago, for that purpose. Wondering if 2TBs would have been wiser, but it should be fine. It was a decent deal, so I jumped on it. Looking forward to not having to figure out what I'm going to delete every time I start a new game.

    Is there a certain kind of drive you need for this?? I tried a 1TB drive I have but it wouldn't work.

    To my knowledge it's just got to be a USB 3.0 drive. Maybe yours was an older, 2.0? Or maybe you tried it before the 4.5 update?

    In my opinion this game is not the best one, unfortunately...

    Finally played it this past weekend.

    I can see where the complaints come from as animations do seem a bit choppy.....but.....some of the visuals are absolutely amazing and just getting into it again made me very excited to get back into the Mass Effect universe. It's a totally unique game and I love the world.

    I just got into it, too. I went out on that first mission, and got back to the main ship, so I'm not very far into it, but I'm enjoying it. Great to be back into an ME game. What class do you use? I like Biotic, and I absolutely love using Shockwave.

    Pretty much just as far as me! That was a long opening mission....but love the combat.
