BUY IT!!! Buy it now!!!

Already have both of 'em. Debating going through it all again on PC this time... Thanks for the heads-up though!

I have the third pre-ordered for 360 because that's where my saves are, but I am considering also buying the full set for a PC playthrough with a femshep. Everyone seems pretty impressed with Jennifer Hale, and I'd like to retire my jet-engine 360 after ME3.

Note - I have no idea what DRM is used for the Amazon downloads (SecuROM?). I'm waiting until Sunday afternoon to buy this in case Steam shows up with a price-match.

Not worth it, both games are crap.

I counter with:
Why Mass Effect is the Most Important Science Fiction Universe of Our Generation

Yes, but you didn't make it obviously sarcastic like you should have, and so you will be countered! :P

Boycotting until 3 is on steam... EA pisses me off to no end...

Syl · 02-17-2012, 11:46 PM

Now if only this somehow involved the DLC for mass effect 2 i might give a damn.

Anenome · 02-18-2012, 12:01 AM

Finally we have a popular science fiction universe that's worthy of the title. Star Trak and Jedi Idiocy Star Whatever have been bothering me with their inanity for DECADES now v_v
Though I do have a fondness for Next Generation, Picard fo' lyfe.

I just can't understand why no one's made a Ringworld movie yet >_> That's like putting a billion dollars in your pocket.

My only game purchase from Amazon was Deus Ex: Human Revolution, but Amazon utilized Steam for online delivery and copy protection. I'm not sure if it would be the same for EA games, but it's likely Steam will get the job.

Honestly it's probably going to be tied to an origin key these days. =/

sai tyrus · 02-18-2012, 10:42 AM

Yup. I bought Dragon Age and it's tied to Origin.

MrWheeler460 · 02-18-2012, 11:07 AM

Nice. Probably my favorite game series of all time. I don't care if people complain about them "simplifying" the RPG elements or "Gears of Mass Effect,". The games are amazing, the universe brilliant and production values through the roof. I can't wait for 3.

spdiscus · 02-19-2012, 01:53 PM

I just grabbed both games. ME2 has both an Origin code and a Cerberus code. ME1 has a 5x4 code that looks like Origin but doesn't work on Origin. I guess I'll enter it after installation. Joy.
