PSXExtreme: There were several surprises at Microsoft's E3 press conference yesterday, but amidst all the hubbub, we may be overlooking something crucial that might relate to Sony's conference today.
As OXCGN points out, Bioware's Mass Effect 2 was nowhere to be found yesterday. We have always found it strange that, considering EA's involvement in the new series, it would remain exclusive to the Xbox 360. After all, not only are just about all third-party exclusives disappearing - just look at Metal Gear Solid: Rising - but since when does freakin' EA go in for exclusivity?
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.

Hmm I don't know.
but imma get this game no matter what!
PC or 360 here i come
It could be timed exclusive for 360 so they could only announce ME 1 which would be a dead give away that 2 is on the way.
It was at EA's conference for PC and 360. Don't get too excited.
They'd really have to release the 1st with it to make it on par seeing as how your choices in the 1st affect the 2nd.
