Zavvi.com: "So much has been written about Mass Effect 2 over the course of the past twelve months that there really isn’t a whole lot left to say. Yes, it’s the best thing that Bioware have ever done, by quite a substantial margin. Yes, it has set some kind of quality benchmark for videogame scriptwriting. And yes, it’s a space opera for people who normally..."
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.

"Yes, it’s the best thing that Bioware have ever done, by quite a substantial margin"
~WRONG!!!!
it is hardly anywhere near the best bioware has done, that would be Baldurs Gate 2 and the expansion, over 200 hours of epic, deep, complicated gameplay, the plot and creative though behind BG2 absolutely insult and defile mass effect.
mass effect 1 was a 8.5, mass effect 2 was a 7 at best.
It is "rpg for add's"
basically a mediocre 3rd person shooter with 10% rpg elements, bad story and okay graphics on pc, on consolle the low res aliased textures are actually quite bad.
I played the 1hr demo last night and I thought it was OK at best. I understand that I didn't play the first one and that I am not into the story already, but the gameplay and graphics didn't blow me away at all. It looks good, but not amazing. Personally, I think God of War3 and Dante's Inferno were far better looking. Heavy Rain had better acting too.
I did like the choices that you can make and the heat cartridges for the guns is cool. No amunition because they all use laser weapons. That was cool. Overall though, it seems this game is a tad overrated to me.
