yes.</p>

Hes not the only actual actor to do voices for the series.  Freddie Prinze Jr., Martin Sheen, Keith David does Anderson (look him up you will know who he is then).</p>


 </p>


Oh yeah and some broad from the series chuck.  Theres probably more I just cant think of them.</p>

I love Keith David.. I know who he is, he plays a great angry black guy... I didn't realize there were so many big names, I knew it was a big time series...</p>

scratch that you still need "Arrival" for Mass Effect 2.  That basically links 2 and 3 together.  As ME2 actually lets you keep playing after you beat the main quest, so Arrival, is kind of the "real end" to ME 2.</p>

Anything I should know before playing? Is it an RPGFPS? I really am pretty ignorant about it.</p>

Its an RPG as far as the flow of the game, the combat is 3rd person not first person if you are using a power heavy class you may barely do any shooting at all and just be using your powers.  But on every mission you can bring two of your teammates with you, so generally you want to set up a team that complements eachother.</p>

All I can say is skip no dialogue. Explore the shit out of everywhere. Also if you want to bang chicks talk to them a lot, after every mission check for new dialogue</p>

Do you have time to pick the dialog you want or does it only give you enough time to say it within the cut scene?</p>

You typically get 3 choices and what is displayed on the screen is a very short gist of what you are going to say. Your choices are typically paragon, neutral, renegade. The cutscenes pause until you select what you want to say</p>

I saw in the video how it works, I Just couldn't tell if it paused for your selection or not. As long as the choices stay in the same place no matter what is said, that won't be a problem. i.e. good up top neutral in the middle, renegade down below.</p>

Yeah I think that is the way it usually is. Also I would recommend maxing out charm or intimidate (whichever you want to play) as fast as possible in Mass Effect 1. It really doesn't hurt you early in the game</p>

Played sleeping dogs some last night, decent story, decent mechanics, haven't really gotten far but so far everything seems pretty standard. Nothing wrong with the game but I haven't seen how it sets itself apart yet. Anyone here played it?</p>


 </p>


Mass Effect should be here today. I'll probably play that some tonight.</p>

OR the Britons. Who I cant help but laugh at, but thats really what they looked like back then. Their pants make them look like they escaped a 1920's jail.
