How is there no threads on this yet?!

Hows everyone finding it? There were a few issues some people had with disc unreadable or just random crashes but been good for me.

Im enjoying it at the moment, 12hours in and havent dont much of the story line but just been enjoying the side quests and general amount of detail in the game. I can see what some people are getting at with the lack of combat and too much reading but I love it, its like one giant very long interactive story :)

Only played about an hour and a half of it last night, but it seems alright. Need to get used to the controls properly and how everything works, and obviously get past the starting portion of the game so I can give a better opinion of it.

Ive only just reached the citadel, not had much time to play, but already its even more incredible than I was expecting. Game of the Year, alongside Orange Box. :D

Playing as a Paragon Infiltrator, will go evil next playthrough. :)

What other games are there that have you contemplating the ethics of gene-splicing? So many good little side-quests.

Too much reading?...those people must have the attention spans of a dead hummingbird. :P

Started my 3rd run through a coulpe nights ago. Its taking be about 21hours a run starting a new character each time and doing every sidequest.

Did Hardcore mode last run, now have to do insane :(

Oh and my achivements are bugged, I still havent got the search & rescue one (even tho Ive got liera twice now!), did full renegade and never gave me 75% renegade, did the whole game with a pistol and never got that one, still havent got 250 geth kills (impossible not to get!), I went through the game using overload and straight after sabotage but only got the overload one.... Ah well Ill get them all eventually :P

This game is simply superb, definitely switch off the motion blur and grain in graphics options though :x

I have also spent ages in the game and have done very little of the main storyline :mrgreen:

OMG I cant believe I didnt notice you can do that, the f**king gain thing is annoying. I played through the game twice thinking "why the f**k did they do that?!"

Turned it off last night and looks much better :)

I completed it on Normal on Wednesday.  I think this is a fantastic game with a few flaws.  My first playthrough was with standard Shephard.  My current play through is on hard,
I am annoyed I didnt get the Soldier achievement, but there was one mission where it recommended you take the daughter to cause her mother  pause.  I think that cost me the achievement with Ashley.  :(  I cant wait to do a play through with Wrex :)

Did not play this becuase of my move till recently - loved it, It seems I got more unlocks then most first time through in terms of achievements which is cool
Started it on hard with a female and go for some lesbo action this time around :)

Graphics popping is a little annoying have to say but a fantastic game though

Question about when you done and the 50-60 levels unlocking?

When you done the game and the main plot line can you not go into the game and just finish up all the sub plots and quests and visit planets etc and get more levels?
How will the new content work in terms of with a finished character?

confused on that part
