These Shots Show Why Mass Effect is Still the Best Space RPG

BioWare's Mass Effect franchise is still undoubtedly the best space opera after all these years. A blend of masterful storytelling, well-written characters and lots of heart-to-heart dialogs are what make the Mass Effect trilogy so special.

Too bad Anthem ruined Andromeda. Bioware took the team that made every Mass Effect game 1-3 and put them on Anthem. With no team to make the new Mass Effect, Bioware intrusted its most treasured franchise to a fledgling crew of DLC support devs.

ArchangelMike2446d ago

Agreed. I think Bioware are hoping that Anthem will dethrone Mass Effect. At least they hope it'll make us forget about Mass Effect Andromeda - which lets be honest, if it wasn't a Mass Effect title would have been rated a bit higher.

Lon3wolf2445d ago

Indeed it wasn't a bad game (ok bugs but they got fixed), but it was not a good ME title.

CarlDechance2445d ago

I really enjoyed Mass Effect Andromeda. Sucks we don't get anymore.

Tross2445d ago

Agreed. It's an alright game. Mass Effect and alright should never be used in the same sentence though. The original trilogy is deep. Andromeda should have been an improvement and not a step back. Art is never experienced in a vacuum and I for one think it's fair to compare sequels to past titles, especially when past titles do things better.

ME1 and 2 are 2 of my most treasured games last gen. The characters and the character in the world really stood out. The writing was exceptional and the depth of the lore truly made it feel like a living, breathing universe with real history. Playing those games i was invested in the history of the Krogan and the Genophage. I was interested in the first contact war between human and Turian. The origin of the Flotilla, the lfespan of the Salarians and how it impacts their behavior. All these things and more were fascinating to read, but they also built incredible character and world depth. Bioware supported the world beautifully, even establishing Cerberus in the first game. The Illusive Man was masterfully portrayed, the Collectors were extraordinarily intriguing, and the opening to ME2 was spectacular. I devoured every bit of backstory in those games and thought the world long after i'd beaten them.

So many good memories from Mass Effect

FlameWater2445d ago (Edited 2445d ago )

I bought Andromeda with all the DLC and all the patch updates for $20 , if EA had brain cells to sell the complete game at launch they would've made more money.

RavenWolfx2445d ago

There were numerous delays already for the game, and it obviously needed months more of delays. I imagine EA didn't really care about packaging DLC in the main game, but just having a game with less bugs and more polish on launch would have helped tremendously.

Why The Mass Effect Series Is Still The Best Western RPG Trilogy

The Mass Effect trilogy shines as one of the only Western RPGs to give an immersive and unforgettable experience.

Terry_B383d ago

Your Opinion is wrong. (Witcher ftw)

Sonic1881383d ago (Edited 383d ago )

The Witcher trilogy is my favorite but I know everything is subjective.

thorstein383d ago

Balder's Gate trilogy is the best.

shinoff2183382d ago

There's much better wrpg series. Mass effect dumbed down after the first one. Seemed a but different going from the 1st to the second, not in a good way.

Knightofelemia382d ago (Edited 382d ago )

My favorite trilogy will be the Ar Tonelico trilogy, Xenosaga trilogy followed by the ME trilogy.

Nittdarko382d ago

How can it be the best trilogy when the 3rd one is terrible and the only thing it had going for it was the multiplayer?
Considering all 3 witcher games are better
Considering all 3 Dragon age games are better
Considering all 3 Baldur's gate games are better

Weird choice

ChasterMies382d ago

Witcher 1 looks like ass. Until we see a transfer, there is no getting around it.

Are Dragon Age games and Baldur’s Gate games a continuation of the same story or at least the same character? Even still, need some connection to make a trilogy. Lord of the Rings is a trilogy. Star Wars is a trilogy. James Bond 1-3 is not a trilogy. It’s just more movies with James Bond.

banger88382d ago

Origins was good. Really good. DAII was absolute shite, and Inquisition wasn't much better.

I like the Ezio trilogy and the ME trilogy but I also love the Xenosaga trilogy and Ar Tonelico trilogy.

darthv72486d ago

My personal favorites would be the GoW trilogy (both Gears & God), the original halo trilogy, Streets of Rage trilogy, Super Star Wars trilogy, Metroid Prime trilogy

Rebel_Scum485d ago

hmm SoR as a trilogy is not that good. 1 & 2 were great but 3 was the drizzling shits.

jznrpg485d ago (Edited 485d ago )

Xenosaga! I’d say games like Suikoden or Ys but they went beyond three games.

Puty485d ago

Resident Evil og trilogy, Silent Hill ...

Charlieboy333485d ago

How can you make a list like this and not have Uncharted?

AlphaKennyTime485d ago (Edited 485d ago )

I want to say it's because it has more than 3 games by the same dev team, but they included GTA so I don't know. You make a fair point.
