Reboarding the Normandy: Playing through ‘Mass Effect’ again (Part 2 of 3)

VGW's Brian Shea: "Welcome back to my play journal (of sorts) for the Mass Effect trilogy. When we last left our hero, Saren had been defeated, the Rachni queen was brutally murdered in a fit of glitch-induced rage, and Shepard was testing out the theory of “once you go blue, you’re stuck like glue.” But with Mass Effect 2 on the horizon, things were going to get serious, and this time I wasn’t planning on leaving any of my team behind in the suicide mission."

Legion, Zaeed, and Jack are my favorites.

RiseNShine192d 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.

anast192d ago

They lost too much talent.

IAMRealHooman192d ago

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

anast192d ago

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

SimpleSlave440d ago (Edited 440d 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.

He was one of my least favorite characters. I wish they would have done the Proths different.
