5 Amazing Games That I Enjoyed More Than Mass Effect 3

Jake of GamingUnwrapped Writes - "Twenty-Twelve has been interesting. For the first time in a while, I can say that I’ve spent more time playing downloadable titles than the big ticket games of the year. Looking back just before the Fall rush, I can say with confidence that some of the best time I’ve spent gaming this year have cost me less than $20. Both my beloved XBLA and PSN brought their A-game to fight each other out by offering some top notch entertainment that won’t break your wallet."

5 games that are completely different and can't really be compared to Mass Effect, or each other.

It makes as much sense as comparing Super Mario Bros to Sim City.

Great job, guy.

Apparently games can't be compared to other games in terms of how much a person enjoyed them. Might as well throw reviewing games out the window too because all games are incomparable to Mass Effect.

Also, Super Mario Bros is MORE FUN than Sim City. There. You're invalid.

I like cheese more than broccoli even though they are completely different. Am I now invalid? So much for that career as a food critic.

[doogiebear]

Yeah but cheese tastes better than broccoli. If anything, people put cheese on brocoli just to stomach the taste.

Cheese!

He's not comparing. How don't you understand that.

It's games HE ENJOYED MORE !

He enjoyed those games listed more than Mass Effect 3...He isn't comparing them, just listing and giving reasons why the game is good.

How don't you get that? did you even read it ? ^ -JJ-

Dude chill

The author is not literally comparing but why mention Mass Effect 3 then?

The author could say '5 games I enjoyed playing'

but by saying 5 games I enjoyed more than Mass Effect 3 means a lot of things and changes the way this will be read. By keeping Mass Effect as a constant and those 5 games as better counterparts or alternatives or whatever else way its looked at this changes everything.

If you understood the distinction then you'll understand what I'm talking about.

The title was chosen to make the article more interesting. It seems to be working too.

An article titled "5 games I enjoyed more than Mass Effect 3" is more likely to be read than an article named "5 Downloadable titles I enjoyed".

He could have replaced ME3 with various other titles. It was only used to make the title more appealing.The mention of Mass Effect 3 was no more than an attention grabber. Journalism 101 gents.

By providing a link Mass Effect 3, a very popular game, you are given a barometer of exactly how much the author enjoyed these games. Since I'm a food critic, it would be like writing an article entitled "5 Foods I Enjoy More than Bacon" in which i described 5 foods completely unrelated to pork. Bringing in the subject of Bacon, easily the world's greatest food, gives you a point of reference that describes exactly how much I enjoyed these foods. This is far more effective than just saying "5 Foods I Enjoy" because maybe I only enjoyed them a little bit, or in passing. The author is merely giving you context which is so important when words like "enjoy" and "amazing" are so loosely tossed around on the internet.

[3-4-5]

He could have listed any popular game.

If he is comparing anything it is that he enjoys 5 good quality games that cost far less to develop than Mass Effect 3, which obviously cost a ton more to make.

He's pointing out, without saying it, that good quality games can be better than AAA titles if they are done right.
