Mass Effect 3


Fight to save Earth from total destruction? Yes please. Today I would love to talk a bit about Mass Effect 3; for those who do not know about this series at all, it is a fight to save the galactic community from the threat of sentient machines known as the Reapers. For 2 games you basically have everyone, except your crew, laugh in your face about the Reapers; they tell you it is all just a myth and that everyone else is really the threat. Now? THE BIGGEST I TOLD YOU SO MOMENT EVER.

This game is amazing........ except for the ending. I am not going to tell you how or why the ending was upsetting only that I understand why they did it, but I do not happent to agree. That being said, I still think anyone should go out and buy these games. They are really full of HOURS of enjoyment- it is also highly recommended you play the first 2 before you play this game. Why? This is so because the choices you made in the first two games literally do have an effect on the storyline.

That is one thing I love about this game- uniqueness. I am tired of playing games that are the same all the way through- they have no variation whatsoever. Mass Effect 3, to me, is different in the way that it can provide a unique game that is not the same when you play through it. Without giving away too many spoilers, there literally are many side-quests you can do in the first 2 that an effect on the gameplay in the 3rd, let alone the actual plot points. I really loved playing this game with my Infiltrator character and am currently replaying the first two picking all the choices opposite choices.

This game is truly the best of the series and I cannot wait for more downloadable content to come out. What I really loved about this game as well was the fact that it did not change the style we saw in the second Mass Effect game. To me, I dislike replaying this first- not only because of the gameplay itself but the way in which the weaponry and armor was delt with was very odd to me. The second one is easily superior to the first- but that is one reason I love the 3rd so much. The designers did not change the gameplay or anything from the second, just took what they had there and made it better.

Go out and buy the Mass Effect series- they are a great series and you will not be sorry you bought them.

Happy Blogging!
