| Reasonable said: I like Mass Effect and all, but over the last twenty or more years I've played plenty of games with the same or arguably more 'atmosphere'. But I get your drift... I just don't it's necessary to try and be that exclusive in the short term, particularly when it's hardly accurate. |
My intention was to talk about my own personal experience, I didn't mean to sound so absolute about it. It's possibly a mistake that comes from not being a native english speaker. That or I was expressing myself carelessly.
Personally I cannot think of any game I've played that offers a tighter or better atmosphere than Mass Effect. It's the entire reason I love the games. Just standing still can be an amazing experience. I can remember games that have done basically the same thing, but none that has done it just as well. There are games that are better though. Atmosphere is not everything.
