HEXUS.gaming has launched their Mass Effect review. They've expressed a mixed reaction praising the game for its story-telling, character design and voice acting, but expressing dissapointment in the combat, AI, frame-rates and repetitive level design.
"So much effort has been put into the story telling in Mass Effect that the game suffers in other areas. While a lot of effort has gone into excellent character design and the portraying of character emotion, the environments in-game, despite looking superb, can be boring to explore. Many of the Citadel corridors, ship layouts and planets look remarkably similar, yet this repetitive level design could have been avoided by the addition of a few features or by moving things around to disguise the issue."
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.
