Comes out on my birthday. From the article in Game Informer, it definitely exceeded my expectations and most likely won't disappoint!

Two words....

Freaking awesome.

Yeah, I don't know a whole lot about how the combat is going to work out, but this is a Bioware game, so I already know I'm getting it day one.

Gah! Two BioWare games in the space of four months now! How will my wallet cope?! XD

I'll certainly be trying to get ahold of this. Dunno what platform I wanna get it on yet though, although it comes with a development kit (I'm guessing PC only here). That's certainly tempting me to go PC.

The Character Creation demo released 23 minutes ago! The Bioware forums were absolutely crazy, it looked like 4chan!

Pre-ordered on Steam now, although probably won't get it until Saturday. I need to take my computer back home to download it since I have a horrible download limit at uni. 1 gig a day!

I preordered it, and have already gotten about seven hours into it.

A great game, with so far a very good story, and I love how much of an impact your actions can have. I almost accidentally let a town get destroyed by zombies, which would have robbed my of a ton of quests, xD.

My only gribes are with the graphics, which seem a little bit blurry to me. That could just be my tiny dorm room TV, though. I'll need to paly it in HD before I criticize that at all.

Oh yeah, and this game is far too easy on the easy setting, while I was on that, I never even came close to dying.

GOD DAMN IT DOWNLOAD LIMITS ARE ANNOYING

Why, in a day and age where internet is pretty much part of daily life, do companies STILL place limits on a person's downloading? I mean, my university is it's own ISP! Considering it only provides internet (incredibly fast internet, 1.1 MB/s on a good day at the accomodation, and I've hit 6.5MB/s on campus) to about a thousand, maybe two thousand people, I can't see why they limit it.

I worked out it takes a mere 15 minutes to use up the entire limit if you download part of a large file when it's running at 1.1MB/s. Why such fast speeds if download is limited so badly? I know 1GB a day is hardly much of a limit, works out to roughly 30 a month which is better than most, but still... Such fast internet should not warrant a limit, at least not one that small. It's what's hindering the progress of digital distribution.

Oh also, Vulkar, I'm certain Valhalla will provide us with a graphics run down soon enough. Assuming he got it for PC so he can test on his awesome setup... And make it seem like the 360 graphics are simply terrible.

So I played it on a better TV today, and am glad to say that yes, the graphics are pretty good. Far from the level of Mass Effect, but still pretty good.

I seem to keep hearing the console versions suck for some reason, but I doubt my laptop could handle it.

Yeah, the console version sort of is like KOTOR, only with more control over character movement and it's a little bit less obviously turn based.

Personally then I think that if you can get it on PC, do it, if only for the toolset/mods/downloads. If not, and you're like me, go with a console version.

Oh yeah, and about that, the Xbox has a smoother framerate, but the PS3 looks better. Choose between them.

Can't. Only own a 360.

I put it on my Gamefly list nonetheless, I'm interested since it's Bioware and if it plays anything like the KOTOR games I'd say that's a plus.
