Mass Effect Is THAT Good.
I had to take a quick break to write this, because Mass Effect is just that freaking awesome.
I respect Square-Enix’s decisions to adhere to the old-school philosophies of game design, but Bioware is clearly where it’s at. The lengths they have gone to create an immersing experience are just beyond belief. It’s also cool how quickly you pick things up. I’m currently on Feros, my map signal gets jammed, and just like that, I’m in a firefight. And I’m using the force (ahem, excuse me, dark energy) to hurl geth around…and I can’t get over how real this all feels. Even politics and racism are well-fleshed out. The Krogan don’t like the Turians, the Turians don’t like humans, hell, no one seems to like the humans.
Characters don’t have to say anything for you to know what’s going on, and I’ll be damned if the VO work is believable. No, check that, it’s great. So far, Shephard is a little bland, but he has to be, since that’s who you play as and they want to keep you as connected to the protagonist as they can.
Bottom line, I can’t believe I scored this game new for ten bucks. I love it. I want more. I wanted to take a brief moment to post this, and now I have to report to Fai Dan that the geth have been cleared from the tower.
