Bioware has revealed that Mass Effect 3 will be shaped by over 1,000 story variations from the first two games in the series.
RPGs are often huge, sprawling endeavours. With limited playtime, we have to choose wisely, so here's the best western RPGs available today.
"I started playing games yesterday" the List... Meh!
How about a few RPGs that deserve some love instead?
1 - Alpha Protocol - Now on GOG
2 - else Heart.Break()
3 - Shadowrun Trilogy
4 - Wasteland 2
5 - UnderRail
6 - Tyranny
7 - Torment: Tides of Numenera
And for a bonus game that flew under the radar:
8 - Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden
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.
Wealth of Geeks explores some of the best gaming romances that have stolen our hearts over the years.
Nice... this is the game i always find myself falling back on when im bored or in need of a good story.
at the moment im on my 4th run through of ME2, and trying to keep my entire team alive this time.
Mass Effect 3 is gunna be EPIC
It's one of those rare games you can just play over and over and never get bored of it. When the trilogy is complete it will be the best game series to have if you're ever trapped on a desert island with only one series lol. You could play it a million ways.
I'm a bit disappointed that the inventory system of ME1 isn't returning though. I hope they make it a bit more complex than in ME2.
My friend recently started playing her second play through of ME2, without having ever played the first one. I, too, have started my first rolling over my old Shepard after completing my second run of the first game.
The amount of threads that run into ME2 are staggering, to the point where I feel playing ME2 first makes you miss out on all the little things that were put into place.
One of the main things I am excited for is this theme continuing in the third game, 1,000 almost seems too low but then again it's mostly main story/select side mission things that carry over.
Hopefully Wrex becomes space president.
I want to see Tali's booty.
I love this series so sad to see the end of this trilogy but will be interesting to see where the go with the next, no doubt the next one will be multi-plat
