mass effect

So, I hear it's out for PC.

But when I hear reminders of the limited installations, the long serial codes, the online validations, the technical requirements...

... and I compare to buying a game for my DS and being able to just stick it in and make it work...

... I find myself feeling not terribly desirous of buying a mainstream retail PC game.

(I haven't bought a new DS game in a while. I keep looking at interesting ones and then losing interest when I read the reviews. Doesn't help that the last couple of games I've bought were big letdowns. I hear the upcoming Sonic RPG is going to be using Elite Beat Agent style combat systems, though. Cool.)
