I missed Steam's sale on this game, so this is great! Thanks Ego

DirectorC · Jan 17, 2010

Nice, too bad I just sold my video card. Well maybe I'll get it and save it for when I buy a next gen card

I see SPY! · Jan 17, 2010

I got Mass Effect on the Steam sale and it is a great game, as I thought. Only 3.75€ :twitch:

I already logged 30 hours and probably still have some more until it's over. Certainly gonna get Mass Effect 2 now :cool:

JC316 · Jan 17, 2010

Awesome game, I picked it up on the steam sale and I am impressed with it so far.

burtram · Jan 17, 2010

Thanks, I have been meaning to pick this up, but missed previous sales.

MKmods · Jan 17, 2010

thanks, I got one too

wiak · Jan 17, 2010

i gladly paid a little more for the non-drm infected version like the one on steam i got on sale

TheMailMan78 · Jan 17, 2010

I thought this was an MMO. Or is it a regular RPG?

Regular RPG with FPS style action.

I think it's better then Fallout 3, but everyone has their own opinion. Lots of playing time for this game that's for sure it will keep you occupied for quite a bit and the graphics are top notch much better looking then Fallout.

I agree with you here Js!! great graphics, good game play, and interesting story. Just had to get the game at this price :rockout:

Of course only 4.5 hours left for the download LOLOLOLOL.

can someone see my spec and see should I get any lagging on ultrahigh settings for this game?

i do got playable framerates but game would free for 1-2s every 20s interval or so. the game is installed in 60gb os partition which have like 13gb free now (i know it's below recommended :eek:

)

also, can i move the game to the other partition without reinstalling ?

DirectorC · Jan 18, 2010

Yeah I went ahead and bought it. I mean $5 for an epic game, why not? I get to play it on all high for a couple days before I ship out my 9800GTX+

No, you should not be getting the lag. And you will probably have to reinstall as just moving the game will not work. It may be better anyhow, due to your lag issue. Maybe a reinstall will fix that issue.

I see SPY! · Jan 18, 2010

Yeah, the game should be very playable with those settings. Have you tried defragmenting the disc?

Like everyone says you should be fine. You're system might be lagging due to pagefile issues and and overloaded HDD. I would disable System restore to clear old restore points and then enable it again. If your OS is old it should free up some more space. Also, HDDs are pretty inexpensive these days so I would recommend picking up a drive for data.

Arghhh....works only for North America........well as always the European are left in the dust... ;-}

dark2099 · Jan 18, 2010

I hate to be a bear, but the actual total after the coupon code is $4.95, I spent .04 cents less than I thought I was. YAY!

JanJan · Jan 19, 2010

i reinstall EA and download game data in the other partition and install the game in OS partition. no more lagging on ultra high YAY!
I bet saving 7gb on the OS partition helps out a lot. Time for a 1tb hdd i guess

SnoopKatt · Jan 19, 2010

Sweet deal, thanks

D/Ling it right now.

DirectorC · Jan 19, 2010

Yeah I did end up getting it. It's pretty good. Not amazing by today's standards but it's good.
