…but that won’t stop me from awarding it a perfect “5″. If Amazon allows folks to trash this game sight unseen, well then I can do the opposite.
And you know, Bioshock had a bunch of in-your-face reviewers try and harm the average score by complaining about the copy protection as well. Get over it and buy and play these 2 wonderful games. ( I imagine they are wonderful; remember, I’m reviewing the game without ever playing it.)
The game just came out the other reviewers wrote reviews before the game was even out and all the security stuff has since been removed amazon should remove these reviews
Rating: 5 / 5
Mass effect is amazing in it’s depth and breadth. The Sci-Fi RPG universe created draws you in and grabs hold of not just your mind but your heart as well. Also, the final as-released copy protections are very reasonable, not bad or demonic at all, such as all those stupid 1-star reviews PREVIOUS TO THE RELEASE claim. Ignore those reviews, and realize that this game is fully worthy of 5-stars, as most of us rate it who have actually played it.
Rating: 5 / 5
Bioware has listened to their fans and perhaps the previous bad reviews from people who do not own this awesome game need to be deleted. Plain and simple Mass Effect is being loved by every review site.
Kotaku.com had an interview with Bioware and activation has changed so stop whining!
Q: What is the difference between the old PC disc authentication solution and the new online model?
A: Two things have changed:
* First, authentication of discs has now gone from the physical format to the online format, freeing the need for consumers to have a disc in the drive at all times.
* Second, with online authentication consumers now connect to the Internet the first time the game is launched and are required only to reconnect if they are downloading new game content.
Q: Will EA or BioWare take any personal information from my computer during an authentication?
A: Absolutely not. We do not take any personal information from your computer. The system simply verifies that a valid CD key has been provided and assigns that activation to that PC.
Q: What happens when I’ve reached the maximum # of computers for my game and I need more, say due to theft of computer, computer crashes, etc?
A: EA customer service is on hand to supply any additional authorizations that are warranted. This will be done on a case-by-case basis by contacting customer support.
Q: Why are BioWare and EA implementing this new authentication process?
A: This serves to protect our software from piracy. It has the added benefit of allowing consumers to activate the game on multiple machines without needing the DVD in the drive when playing the game.
Q: Did BioWare and EA change their mind on requiring that the game be re-authorized every 10 days?
A: BioWare has always listened very closely to its fans and we made this decision to ensure we are delivering the best possible experience to them. To all the fans including our many friends in the armed services and internationally who expressed concerns that they would not be able re-authenticate as often as required, EA and BioWare want you to know that your feedback is important to us.
Q: If the game isn’t going to require an authentication every 10 days, will it ever require re-authentication?
A: Only if the player chooses to download new game content.
This game is a worthy port that has seen attention to critical points. The game is very well in its gameplay, graphics, and features. The story is immersing and interesting. Many flaws in the xbox 360 version have been addressed and improved upon in the PC version as stated by the Gamespot Review and many others. The kids need to stop crying about DRM ” we get the point “, and on top of that, rating the game when they don’t even own a copy. Amazon should only allow reviews based on your actual order history, but yeah, Mass Effect for the PC does not disappoint.
