Kotaku: I talked to a guy named Ray a couple of weeks ago. He was with his buddy Greg. Ray said he had played BioWare's Mass Effect 3 end to end already.
I believe him.
He told me what it was like to play through the whole thing. Ray is, I should note, really into BioWare games.
Ray played through the game as a male version of the series' protagonist, Commander Shepard.
He played the previous Mass Effect through a couple of times, as a male Shepard and as a female Shepard.
The first Mass Effect, he said, felt like it leaned toward being a role-playing game. "The second one was aimed more at the action or shooter side. This one is both. Both sides have been amped up really well."
damn, i wish i didn't read that a couple of spoilers in it
:(
This "guy" is Ray Muzyka. His "friend" is Greg Zeschuk. Know who they are? They're the FOUNDERS of BIOWARE. So, yeah: just about the LEAST objective opinion you could possibly find.
Great job, Kotaku: the usual F- work I see.
I have my doubts for ME3. Honestly the single player demo was pretty bad in my opinion. WHY DO WE NEED SCRIPTED JUMPS?
ug. My biggest pet peeve this gen. "Press button to jump and narrowly escape doom"
Surprisingly the MP was way better. Not a good sign...
Developers are not unbiased, this article is as worthless as any Preview. Lots and lots of games preview well and end up stinking.
Don't get me wrong, I hope ME3 is great as ME1 and ME2 are among my favorite games of all time. But lets just call the article what it was....marketing.
The other day I kept saying "Mass Effect" silently to myself... That name is so weird and lame. Say it out loud a few times.
