Nick Arvites of VGG recently reviewed Mass Effect. Here is part of what he had to say,
"Mass Effect has managed to take everything great about the prior RPG games BioWare has created and set the bar even higher. I haven't felt this compelled to play an RPG in years. This is primarily due to the fresh feel of the universe and BioWare's stellar job of writing the dialog, and getting the voice actors to properly convey it. I've already finished the game once, and I'm getting ready to go through it again in order to take a different route here and there. While there are minor nitpicks on the technical side, my score doesn't detract for them because they weren't critical failures and they are overshadowed by the simply amazing game BioWare has created."
Pros:
* Incredibly engrossing RPG
* Deep universe
* Excellent Dialog
* Solid plotline
Cons:
Minor nitpicks (loading skips, texture issues)
Bioware writes: "Like you, we’ve heard the rumors lately. You’ve made it clear you care deeply about what’s next. So let’s start by setting the record straight: the next Mass Effect game is in development, and EA and BioWare remain committed to telling more stories in this universe."
I expected nothing and I'm still disappointed
Like with Fallout, it's starting to feel studios are using TV / Film adaptations when they have no game info to talk about.
I feel the same way.
I mean, how difficult would it be for them to release SOMETHING of substance? Another short trailer? A couple of proper hints? A short story set during the original trilogy, but focused on fringe characters?
Hopefully they're working so hard on the game that they don't have time. But still, with every passing year and so little to show, the franchise will be slipping further and further from people's minds.
Yeah agree it's almost a cop out since Dev times are 5 to 10 years just throw out a few seasons instead you get them done in a year
So the TV show will take place after the OG trilogy. I wonder which ending they’ll use?
Should’ve just posted a picture of an Elcor saying “regretfully, we have nothing to share.”
Thanks to their innovative approach to gaming, RPGs like Dark Souls, Final Fantasy VII, and Dragon Quest left a significant impact on the genre.
GF365: "A friend makes the adventure all the more fun. Here are the best video game companions that will keep you company."
Nick Arvites of Video Game Generation:
"The way I look at it is simply this: to me a 10 score on any title I review means that it’s so good that there will only be a few others that even come close to it in a generation. Because BioWare obliterated the bar it had helped set for RPGs and has created in my opinion the Game of the Year for 2007, Mass Effect is a solid 10 with no regrets."
Mass Effect is a great game, no amount of hate is going to change that, more salt in the wounds of the haters=
JOY
