Twinfinite Writes: Mass Effect has quickly become one of the defining video game franchises around. We take a look at how each game in the series stacks up.
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.
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.
Mass effect 1 was the best of the lot....It set the whole universe up and the sense of mystery surrounding the protheans and reapers made it a lot better. I will never forget the moment when Sovereign started talking to the player and the decision of who to save in the game.
I like all three of the main games, but they all had issues.
ME1 had terrible elevators, boring planets and loads of useless items, plus I was not that partial to the combat as it was a mix between FPS and RPG.
ME2 had the stupid resource mining mini-game that I totally hated.
ME3 just had the ending story that I was upset with at the time, but over the years has grown on me.
So for me, ME3, ME2 and ME1 in order, but I love three of them.
It was my favorite franchise to be released in the last 10 years or so.
Looking forward to MEAndromeda.
ME2 is the best, followed by 1 then 3. I don't even count infiltrator lol
Everyone has their favourite. But even your least favourite Mass Effect is still better than most games out there
I felt 3 was the weakest, due to some of the story decisions, quest log, limited dialogue options, and of course that god damn ending. But the game still managed to feel like a more real, heavy war story than any other game I've played. It's still fantastic, overall.
