No one knows yet but multiple endings should extend the lifespan of the game somewhat. I would imagine at least 20 hours on first run through but you never know these days tbh.

 

[Starman]

Nice one on finding those cHodAX

Bioware said that the if you only do the main storyline and don't do anything else it should take roughly 20hrs, but seeing as there are tons of planets to explore and tons of side quests you are prolly looking at something upwards of 40hrs

3rd post in a row, cant edit.

The RPG elements are very good appearently, but the action is shit

 

[cHodAX]

Got the game but not playing until I can get a 10 hour run at it, I like to immerse myself into games like this.

 

[Aada]

When will you get 10 hours at it?

Piracy until my pre-ordered copy arrives

 

[cHodAX]

When will you get 10 hours at it?

If all goes according to plan then it will be Wednesday from 10am until 8pm with a couple of 15 min breaks thrown in for food and bathroom breaks

Got the LE version come in yesterday, played for about 6 hours and have to say its bloody fantastic, theres so much to do and I can see the replay value, espically as you can use the avatar you created in your first play through again on your second.

The way the dialogue is handed works really well and keeps everything flowing quite quickly.

Graphics are nice and sleek, there are a few pop ups of textures but its nothing really to niggle about, I actually like the fact theres no tutorial and you get straight into it off the bat, the universe Bioware has created is so immense, the only downside is that im going away for a few days and won't get to play anymore of it till at least next tues and the Mako they could have done this a bit better, I tend to find it easier to drive to the enemies and jump out and fight without the Mako.

 

[cHodAX]

Just played 10 hours straight, totally knackered but very happy. Will post more tomorrow.

Been playing since around 9am this morning with breaks inbetween im 9.25 hours in and i have yet to scratch the surface of the main campaign.

Enjoying everything about it from the fantastic acting, the sweet fight system to driving my buggy up a mountain as far as i could go and looking out at the view with the amazing looking sun glare on me.

So far am going Renegade and feel really guilty when i do something bad, more then a few people that i could have saved have been killed by me ;/


However someone please tell me that i am not the only one who DIDN'T pick the soldier class? everyone on my friends list roughly about 15 people are all soldiers

I'm an Adept really enjoying flinging enemies about with my Biotic powers, nothing better then using Lift killing them while in midair with my acid rounds then watching them melt and just their gun dropping to the floor

 

[cHodAX]

Soldier and wish I had gone for something more diverse.

I went Infiltrator and also going renegade Loving the game lots and dont see how it only scored 9.4 tbh . Havent seened any framerate drops or glitches yet. Turned off grain and motion blur tho if thats why.

Could well be why. I knocked off film grain straight away, pisses me off when they add it to new films tbh and it has no place in a game. I went high definition for clarity, film grain just fucks up a lovely clear image.

I have had a few vsync issue, the framerate is fine but vsync is definately no enabled on this game sadly so you do get the occasional screen tear from time to time. I am going to turn off motion blur next and see if that helps, with other games motion blur helps perfromance by about 10% or so and that may well be enough to get past the vsync issues.

I never ever pick a plain fighter class in an RPG they are so boring and 1 dimensional

Restart and pick something else

 

[Deepfried]

great game playing as an infiltrator and only choosing alien species in my party
in about 8 hrs so far and only complaint is that it is taking all my free time
lots of replay value,i am enjoying the story so far,lets hope it continues
who knows i may even finish this game

I'm playing as vanguard, great fun. This game really draws you in to the storyline.

 

[Ch3tan]

Just done Novaria, bloody hell does this game more auto save points. Combat ramped up massively.

Much fun fighting some proper enemies though, biotic battles are fun -although a well placed grenade quickly negates their abilities.

pah i knew i should never have read this thread, so feel like ordering it
