The worst part is the actual waiting itself and finding something to do while waiting.Good thing I'll already have my DA when ME2 is around the corner

The worst thing about waiting is the waiting. Just read the Oghren thread to witness the havoc that wait can bring.

What bothers me is that there are a few folks out there already playing the game.



Typically some dude from a gaming magazine who is going to crib about the fact that the player is not fully voiced, while the more appreciative of the two- that would be me- is sitting here venting.

For me, the hardest part about the wait is my tryin to plan my characters, while worrying about what parts of my plans might fall apart in actual game practice because of the incomplete info.

The hardest part of waiting, is definitely the waiting. I am as obsessed as anyone so its hard finding something else to do to pass the time.

The worst part about waiting? What are you talking about? The waiting is the best part! I'll never have as much fun after the game is released, laughing at people, posting fun speculations, suggestions and maybe make jokes.

After release hits, it's all business and friendliness goes to Hell and there's nothing left but facts and numbers.

The game of the wait is over and all that remains is the game.



I enjoy the wait more.

Ain't that the truth. A fantastic point, i_b.

Don't you think we could write better reviews?

Running out of things to talk about regarding DA and thus becoming completely OT in every conversation.

The worst thing about waiting...

I won't be able to get the game until about a week after everyone else...I work on a US Base in Japan:(

Unless my impatience wins out and I cancel my physical CE and get someone to gift it to me over Steam...since they don't offer it here. :ph34r:

The worst thing is that I'll be waiting for maybe 6-12 months.

At least I have plenty to occupy myself with.

The worst part about waiting is that I keep forgetting to eat. It will only get worse when DA:O comes out...

The worst thing about waiting? I suppose it is learning more about the game and getting more hyped about it. That stuff seems to make waiting harder.

To be honest, it is pretty jarring that the player isn't voiced from the beginnings video I watched. Made worse by the fact that they didn't use the Mass Effect "pre select" dialog style. So you hear dialog. Stop. Choose. Hear dialog responding to nothing you heard.

At least if the ME style dialog was there, we might at least hear it more naturally.

"Do you want to go to the kitchen or the den, Playername?"
-select kitchen-
" "
"Ok, lets go to the kitchen."


vs

"Do you want to go to the kitchen or the den, -select kitchen- Playername? ... Ok, lets go to the kitchen."


I understand what you're saying, but the reviewer is talking about a pretty obvious immersion breaker. :)

the worst part about waiting is the fact that none of my other games remotely interest me anymore.



and the part where i've scoured every single thread on the site, and am thus forced into this one. :)

the worst part is not having any gameplay demos to see what the gameplay will be like. if i had that i would play the demo over and over again until the game came out

I understand what you're saying, but that's how traditional RPGs were before ME, not to mention it's simply not fair to expect them to hire at the very least six extra voice actors for the PC, we'd lose so much content, it would be depressing.

That is my problem as well.

It's after the game is out I'm more concerned. How many will forget to ya know, eat, sleep etc. Image IPB

the worst part is the math.



look at it this way, in england there are 3 weeks minus 2 days and 1 hour and 30 minutes till it is released. take 3 weeks - thats not too bad.. 3 is a fairly samll number



thats 21 days - ouch.. still now we're talking days i guess 21 isnt TOO bad



thats 21x24=504 hours - ah crap now its getting rediculous



thats 504x60= 30240 minutes - bollox.. and each minute feels like an hour when theres bollox all to do but wait for it do come out >.<



thats 30240x60= 181,440 seconds - any1 gotten that far in their countdown??

I think the worst is behind me. It's just been hard waiting during this development period. I remember when the game was first hinted at about 5 years ago and then it dropped off the radar. I didn't even know if it had been dropped by Bioware. And when it resurface, it was all the delays in the release date. First the Spring of 2009, then September, October and now November. As long as the game is as polished as they promise, all will be forgiven.

Yes. I am sure not having the player voiced is jarring to some. But I found the voiced PC in ME to be an immersion breaker because she sounded nothing like the character I envisioned her to be. Everytime she spoke I cringed. And eventually I muted it during all dialogue options.

Some things have both positive and negative implications. As a reviewer, I would hope they'd be a tad more objective about these features. Or he could have said it was a negative for him and not the game.
