Padding Mass Effect

The POW Block said: "Playing through the Mass Effect series is like eating an entire cake in one sitting. It’s incredibly awesome while you’re doing it, but once you finish you’re not going to be feeling too pleasant. If presented with the opportunity again, of course you would do it because cake is awesome. When I finished Mass Effect 3 I decided that I wanted to replay the series back to back because I remembered how much fun I had playing through the games, regardless of the quality of the ending."

Whoops

Hitster4841d ago

Well it could be worse, you could have to scan for minerals on the planet using the mako...

Andrew Wiggin4841d ago

That's the worst thing I can ever think of

strange19864840d ago

Eh, I don't really mind the planet scanning too much. I find it almost zen-like at times, especially with that kickass tune playing in the background. That being said, I am really glad you start out with 50,000 of each element once you start up another playthrough. I definitely wouldn't want to start from scratch every damn time.

Bro missing companions: Legion, Grunt, Samara/Morinth, Javik, EDI

anast204d ago

Legion, Zaeed, and Jack are my favorites.

RiseNShine204d ago

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.

anast204d ago

They lost too much talent.

IAMRealHooman204d ago

some in andromeda are decent, I agree with peebee and Vetra being good companions. Except Liam he's trash tier

anast203d ago

Liam lol I can't stand that dude.

IAMRealHooman203d ago

Loved Alpha Protocol in all it's glorious jank. Great game.

SimpleSlave451d ago (Edited 451d ago )

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.
