From the SarcasticGamer.com article: "When a really good sequel comes out, like say, Ghostbusters 2 , Speed 2, or Transformers 2, people often forget the original inspiration that made the series great.
In this case, the ground breaking excellence of Mass Effect is getting lost in this swirl of unrestrained, hysterical gushing over the sequel. These aren't legitimate reviews we're reading of Mass Effect 2; we are reading a tween girl's review of a Jonas Brothers concert on her blog. In short, it's embarrassing."
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.

Aw, NO!!!!

Lol it's called the Xbox 360 effect, no games for three years straight would make PS3 fans delusional too.
The box art is better.
That's about it.
ME2 was an awesome game. I enjoyed a lot. But the story was biiit weak. I put 30 hours into it and 95% of the time i was recruiting my team and doing loyalty missions. I was kinda of disapointed with the story. I wanted to deal with collectors more often. But hey im on my 2nd play of the game, it is an awesome game. My main goal is to get my all team members to survive the final mission. I only lost 1!! I was sooooo mad!
I disagree and I find the accusation that the reviews for ME2 are fake and for some reason this piece of trash is... embarrassing.
ME2 for me was better in every way except it felt a little bit shorter than the first.
