Gameolosophy: Soon, PS3 owners will get the chance to experience the Mass Effect series, though they will miss out on the first part which is a bit odd really (but understandable due to the exclusivity agreement with Microsoft). It’s odd because part of the series’ draw is the fact that it’s a trilogy where your decisions from each game are carried over, thus having at least miniscule effects on the next game.
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.

People are STILL harping on how you can't import a ME1 save into the game? Do people realize that ME2 on the PS3 will incorporate an ALL NEW intro to allow the player to make these choices? Let's not kid ourselves: Mass Effect 1 has only a handful of meaningful choices that carry over to ME2, and these mainly relate to how you deal with the Council, the lover you take (if any), and how you deal with the rachni.
As for me, I'm going to be too busy with Dead Space 2, Dead Space Extraction, and LBP2 to play this game right away. I'll wait for the summer lull.
Have it Pre-Ordered on Amazon, cannot wait to finally play it and see what all the Fuzz Is/Was about.
Can't wait for the ps3 version, using the Mass Effect 3 engine, 360 has nothing on this!
I am sorry but Me2 just feels old. the animation, stiff character models, VO, facial animation are horrendous, the gunsplay feels week,and you can't control your character when choosing dialogue.
this is my fault for UC2 and seeing great animation and now if a game animation look bad it really stands out to me. and heavy rain non static dialogue system that has the options moving and you can move your character.
sorry but i just feel ME2 is old and i can't go back
don't kill me guys just saying
This game is definitely on my long list of "must play" games for 2011 :D
