Gamers finally had their first tease of Mass Effect 2, the long-awaited, highly anitcipated sequel to Mass Effect, 2007's RPG of the Year. (And one of OMGRPG's Best Games of 2008.) Bioware's definitely stirring up some hype with the second part of this massive space trilogy, and they're doing it right. GamePro's editorial office exploded in debate and speculation upon seeing the mysterious trailer, and they've all put their heads together in an attempt to answer the biggest questions about this upcoming science fiction epic. Feel free to join in and tell them what YOU think about the clues in the trailer -- maybe there's more than meets the eye to Shepard's KIA status.
One of the best things about the Mas Effect series is the companions you meet along the way. So here is a tier list of all the companions from Mass Effect!
To think that Bioware at some point was capable of doing games like this, you see those characters and remember them like good old friends, and now check ME Andromeda, Anthem, Veilguard etc and wonder what the hell happened.
some in andromeda are decent, I agree with peebee and Vetra being good companions. Except Liam he's trash tier
it's like bitch but your shirt back on, your not blue or spikey get away from me
RPGs are often huge, sprawling endeavours. With limited playtime, we have to choose wisely, so here's the best western RPGs available today.
"I started playing games yesterday" the List... Meh!
How about a few RPGs that deserve some love instead?
1 - Alpha Protocol - Now on GOG
2 - else Heart.Break()
3 - Shadowrun Trilogy
4 - Wasteland 2
5 - UnderRail
6 - Tyranny
7 - Torment: Tides of Numenera
And for a bonus game that flew under the radar:
8 - Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden
Not only glorious jank, but the idea that the story can completely change depending on what you do, or say, or side with, makes it one of the most forward thinking games ever. The amount of story permutation is the equivalent of a Hitman level but in Story Form. And it wasn't just that the story changed, no, it was that you met completely new characters, or missed them, depending on your choices. Made Mass Effect feel static in comparison.
Alpha Protocol was absolutely glorious, indeed. And it was, and still is, more Next Gen than most anything out there these days. In this regard at least.
Pity.

Great article and I had the same thoughts when looking at the trailer.
The only thing that bugs me is Shepards KIA status which just doesn't add up.
I cannot wait to get my hands on ME2!!!!
Here's to my most anticipated game. Cheers!
I'll actually give it a try.

I can't wait for this game. The first one was so badass.
