Anyone else been playing it?

I bought it for a friend of mine for Xmas, haven't gotten a chance to pick it up yet. Is it worth getting?

Gairloch · 12-29-2007, 12:36 AM

I'm loving it. I don't even own a 360 and I've got a significant amount of time invested in it.

I have made a personal rule that if I cant play it first then Im not droppping 59.99 on it

how is it

what type of game is it?
it looks cool and game informer gave it good marks

It's an RPG made by the same company that made Knights of The Old Republic for x-box and KOTOR II for the 360. My understanding is that this was supposed to be another installment in that series but there was problems with the licensing so they ended up making an entirely new game.

The character interaction is very nicely done and it has an interesting plot line. The combat system is the best I've seen, almost feels like an FPS.

My only complaint about it is inventory management and buying/selling of gear is a pain in the ass.

rpg ...hmmmm

my wife might dig that

I like action ..nonstop action

There is a LOT of backstory in this game and character interaction is a big part of how it plays. On the up side one of the possible side plots involves some hot alien lovin'

interspecies sex FTW. Isn't that outlawed though? What happens when alien life forms come visit and we wanna bone them? We get arrested?

Pictures or STFU
