After the whole failure that was Mass Effect 3, I am extremely skeptical about this.
ME3 was not a failure. The ending sucked. The game was incredible.No it was not.
Explain please?
- role-playing is vastly limited. It doesn't really feel as if you are playing your Shepard, but a pre-defined one: you rarely get to choose what to say, but only how you say it. You don't give a damn about that kid on Earth, actually agree with Cerberus' ideals, or think Jokers' joke about Thessia was actually pretty funny? Too bad.
- Only 2/100 decisions have an significant impact. While these 2 decisions carry the survival of a species, 95 just add some dialogue or add up to a worthless EMS number.
- they featured the worst antagonist in modern storytelling, called Kai Leng. More laughable than intimidating.
- plot-holes. Lots of them. Biggest one being that the Reapers surprisingly never attack the Citadel or try to shut down the Relays.
- Cerberus are damn space--blam!-s. Attacking every place in the galaxy only for the lulz. They simply jump into your way everywhere, serving as random cannon fodder.
- "side-quests" are a joke. All you do is to fly on the spacemap to scan a planet for some book, flag or some other worthless -blam!- and walk back, hours on the Citadel trying to find that one bastard who gave you the task. Annoying.
- and yeah well, the last mission. All of the galaxy comes together so that you can walk around with 2 people of your squad in a dark and quiet place. Worst last mission ever.
There is a lot more, but I don't feel like writing an essay now.
