Globe and Mail: Mass Effect 3 sets new benchmark in interactive storytelling

The most important part of a role-playing experience is the story being told, the characters with whom we interact, the emotions we experience, and whether we feel as though we’re a part of the game world and that our decisions truly matter. With Mass Effect 3 – and throughout the entire series – BioWare has captured these elements in a way that should inspire envy and admiration in every other studio working in the genre. Put simply, it sets a new benchmark for the telling of video game stories.

Yeah they set the benchmark in worst ending ever told and thats about it. I'm trying to figure out how ME3 is getting so many free passes. I aint going to lie the game was 9/10 until the last 20 minutes i gave it a 5/10.

ATi_Elite5193d ago

from what Gamers are saying it seems ME3 was rushed at the end.

"I'm trying to figure out how ME3 is getting so many free passes"

Really? Asking that in this day and age? Anyhow, ME3 did not do anything ME2 hasn't done already in terms of interactive storytelling.

Also, Heavy rain is just an interactive story so...

It's an old way of securing high scores in the industry. Publishers demand specific score or higher. If not provided by reviewer, they no longer receive the review copies in the future. So in order to provide early reviews, they agree to lie to readers, that's why they are irrelevant.
It's like that for some years.

I'm finishing me2, and its awesome. I wish it was a 300h game.

If they took everything from me2, which is great, how the Hell can me3 be a bad game? If people want to whine, go to metacritics but here, nobody will believe you, because we've been following all the reviews, and most are 10/10. How can it be that bad ?

VileAndVicious5193d ago

well when you play me3 you'll find that the ending is....unsatisfying. Im at peace with it because Im sure there will be some sort of DLC that will serve as an epilogue of sorts. Im fairly positive that whats included in the box isnt the "end" per se.

Now if they charge us for the rest or not remains to be unseen.

portugamer5193d ago

Ok, maybe the end is really bad, as people say.its not impossible.

For example, arkham city, I had so much fun upgrading weapons, starting side quests,etc, and suddenly, the game finishes. I couldn't believe my eyes when ending credits appeared. It was so stupid, I can't even remember how it finished.
I was so disappointed, I didn't even started the catwoman missions. Stop game.eject disc.never touch it again.

Right now, I'm more worried about me2, tali is the last partner I need to get. I think, after that, the final missions will start, and the game will soon end. After the ending: eject mass effect 2 disc - insert me3 collector's edition- play:)

Bro missing companions: Legion, Grunt, Samara/Morinth, Javik, EDI

anast540d ago

Legion, Zaeed, and Jack are my favorites.

RiseNShine540d ago

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.

anast539d ago

They lost too much talent.

IAMRealHooman539d ago

some in andromeda are decent, I agree with peebee and Vetra being good companions. Except Liam he's trash tier

anast539d ago

Liam lol I can't stand that dude.

IAMRealHooman539d ago

Based on one narratively fitting ending in Mass Effect 3, Prothean squadmate Javik is highly unlikely to return in the next Mass Effect game.

He was one of my least favorite characters. I wish they would have done the Proths different.
