ME1 is one of the most ambitious game of 7th gen. It is open world, the story is well written , space/planets exploration and deep weapon and abilities customization (however, not refined).

With ME2 they took the corridor shooter route and turned it into another cover shooter TPS. They tightened the horrible combat mechanics but they took everything that made ME1 a distinguished game.

The footages I saw from ME4 with Mako, gives me hope that on foot planet exploration is available instead of lazy mini-game that had on ME2.

ME3 was the perfect confluence of all of it.

I agree some things were dumbed down in ME2. But they didnt rip out the best bits, which were story and choices!

Story on ME2 is on a smaller scale. There is no sense of eminent threat or grandeur in 2.

You run bunch of errands and most of them are petty

Choice? ME3 feels like a new game, it seemed to me that none of the choices and team I put together in ME2 mattered.

The MCC ad is ok. Maybe they should have explained the game a bit more.

you know, I still have never played a mass effect game besides the me 2 demo on the x360.

Same. And I wasn't that impressed with the demo honestly. I might give it another try if they rerelease the trilogy on Xbox One or something, but honestly I'm not too concerned about it.


I got to say the gameplay is the weakest part of the game. I can see how playing a demo would put u off from the game. But the story is second to none. If u like scifi u will love this. I'm a Star Wars and halo fanboy but mass effect easily blows both those ip's out of the water story wise. It's universe is so vast it's really crazy.

 

 When I first picked up mass effect I couldn't get through the first 1/2 hour cause I didn't like the gameplay. A second time I tried it but put it down again. Finally when the second one was about to come out after hearing all the praise I decided to play a game that I had given up on 2 times, and had been collecting dust for 2 years. I wasn't digging it yet again but I stayed with it. I had heard such amazing things about it and I love scfi. About 20 minutes into the citadel I was in love. I was learning about all these different species, there history. I was so hooked. Everytime I got a new entry for the codex I read or listened to it all.

exploration is awesome too. It's not a open world game like skyrim, but in the Minimap u can explore dozens and dozens of planets, u can explore a lot of them on foot too. Collect minerals from them. Side quests

Then there's the decision making. I still haven't played a game outside the series that let's u make choices this huge. U decide the fate of some crucial characters and species. Mass effect 3 gets some flak for the lack of choices at the end though. Ya the gameplay is only ok in me 1 and 2. But it grows on you. Mass effect 3 has good gameplay. 

I went from forcing myself to playing the first game to beating it 4 times, me2 4 times, me3 2 times(would be more but I'm waiting for a collection)



Halo MCC will sell 5+ million copies(including digital)

halo 5 will sell 10 million copies(including digital)

x1 will pass ps4 in USA, and UK.

Explain Halo?? Lol come on dude wtf. What else do you need besides 4 games in 1?

I'd prefer there be no sprint but if they end up having it in there it won't be to big of a deal. Like someone else said as long as AA are gone I'm fine. After Halo 3 I never played the MP in a Halo game again (AA was a big reason for that).

I did try the MP and tried it for several hours just couldn't get into :(. So here's hoping Halo 5 is like Halo 2/3

That ended with ME1. Minimap "exploration" is ME2, such a big downgrade from ME1.

If Halo stayed the same people would complain about it like they do with COD. As long as Halo 5 stays true to Arena play and objective gametypes while having awesome vehicle play in BTB i'll be happy. But it cant be the same walking around like Halo 2. That's boring these days.

Maybe talk about how they are all in 1080p or that all 4 games together only cost $60.
