Hey guys today I wanted to talk about Mass Effect 3! Yeah scary
right? This game has been a very polarizing subject recently, and has
come under scrutiny from players around the world. It's the cool new
thing to hate Bioware, but the game is not the complete abomination
that some may have you believe. While the game has a lot of serious
flaws, it's still enjoyable for fans of the series. You can compare
Mass Effect 3 to the third Godfather film, it's certainly not the
best in the series, but it's by no means the worst game of the
decade. If you have any attachment to the Mass Effect series then you
probably don't even need to read the rest of my review, just go out
and play it. However, if you are on the fence as to whether or not
this “game” is worth your time, then you may want to stick
around.
Let me just preface this review by saying I am not going to be
addressing the ways in which Bioware is pandering to newcomers. If
you are not importing a character from Mass Effect 2, then there is
little entertainment value for you here. The biggest selling point of
the game is seeing how your individual choices play out over the
course of three titles. This is the third game in a trilogy, if you
have not played either of the first two games then you really have no
business playing Mass Effect 3. There are options to skip gameplay or
conversations if you are simply treating Mass Effect 3 as a self
contained title, but these inclusions are simply a way for Electronic
Arts to sucker in the unwashed masses.
