The recent switch of Mass Effect 2's cover art has baffled many, especially this close to the games launch. GamerZines investigates the reasons behind the redesign and asks whether box art still matters in modern gaming.
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.
Wealth of Geeks explores some of the best gaming romances that have stolen our hearts over the years.
It uses the same color scheme as the first and has the feel of immediate danger and action. It conveys the message that the universe can be a cold harsh place, that your team is all that stands between destruction and devastation.
The new one feels like a 1970s Buck Rodgers tribute. It's as if someone in the marketing department said "Hey! That cover needs more focus on Guns-n-Chicks. Lets get up closer to those Space Boobies... but not so close it's obvious."
But to be perfectly honest, both of these suck compared to the ME1 cover. It was a 5x8 inch Epic Adventure for your eyes. The way that it focused on individuals, space ships, whole worlds, and the eyes Beaming down on you all at once... Priceless.
..but the game's gonna be great regardless of it's lame cover.
Yeah, it is a small point about the game overall.
But I prefer the 1st. Think the darker colour works much better than the bright colouring.
But still, neither can touch the collectors edition cover.
Something about that one just makes it looks so awesome to me, haha
