Mass Effect PC Review (Bit-Tech)

Bit-Tech writes: "Mass Effect was already an awesome game, that much we knew. It was so good in fact that it managed to sneak its way in to our Top 10 Games of 2007. The question is though, has it got any better since then?

The answer to that isn't easy, but mainly that's because there aren't that many differences between the two versions. There are some positive enhancements to consider like the new hotkey features and a smoother interface, but on the other hand these are balanced out by an awful minigame and the fact that all these changes feel insubstantial and tacked on – where are the new quests and weapons?

The deciding factor then, due to a lack of extra content, should be whether or not the game can win through on the merit of being on the PC – does the actual input of mouse and keyboard make the game better on PC? The answer is yes, but not enough for it to make a big difference.

Mass Effect is an utterly absorbing, massive and enthralling game. As soon as this review is done we're going to go play it some more and if you're a PC RPG fan who hasn't got the Xbox 360 version then this is definitely a game you'll want to pick up, but the PC version doesn't do enough to push ahead of the Xbox 360 original and in the end the two will have to settle for being equals."

I expected nothing and I'm still disappointed

Like with Fallout, it's starting to feel studios are using TV / Film adaptations when they have no game info to talk about.

toxic-inferno167d ago

I feel the same way.

I mean, how difficult would it be for them to release SOMETHING of substance? Another short trailer? A couple of proper hints? A short story set during the original trilogy, but focused on fringe characters?

Hopefully they're working so hard on the game that they don't have time. But still, with every passing year and so little to show, the franchise will be slipping further and further from people's minds.

Yeah agree it's almost a cop out since Dev times are 5 to 10 years just throw out a few seasons instead you get them done in a year

I still haven’t beat Andromeda. I am waiting for a lull of good games in my backlog

P_Bomb167d ago

So the TV show will take place after the OG trilogy. I wonder which ending they’ll use?

Should’ve just posted a picture of an Elcor saying “regretfully, we have nothing to share.”

Good games but no Phantasy Star?

merlox1062d ago

Why do people forget Phantasy Star? That is one of my favorite RPG series. Another ther good but overlooked series is ,Y's.

ES3 set things off, it's a shame they got greedy and decided to cut corners so the executives could get huge pay days.
