Mass Effect 2, Bioware's sequel to the 2007 sci-fi role-playing blockbuster, evolves beyond its predecessor's quirks to deliver one of the richest RPG experiences ever.
The Pros
* Exquisite storytelling
* Exciting combat
* More game than you expect
The Cons
* Mining tests patience and fingers
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.

metacritic and me will me happy this game will rape metacritic hahah

The good reviews are on a roll.
I've already beaten it, and the last few "Missions" where you had to help out each of your squad mates to raise there moral was annoying. But that didn't stop me from fully enjoying the game. I didn't like that they took out all the different armor it's now just one upgradable suit. And you have to PICK UP the weapons scattered thoughout the game world now instead of buying them.
An excellent score for an excellent game.
I feel somewhat sorry for the Ps3 users though, I wish for everyone to experience the greatness that is this game.
