Default Re: Mass Effect 3

I liked Mass Effect 2, but mainly cause it was more Mass Effect, I didnt find the story of it all that great, but with Mass Effect 3 its really involving and making me feel emotions and stuffs. I begin to care about what im doing rather than play just to see what happens. Makes me think of how I could have handled something differently in previous games, but theres no turning back now. The gameplay is a lot more fluid, and you can actually buy weapons and armor mods at shops, instead of just finding them thrown around levels you can only visit once. There is also the weapon mod system which I think is great, it lets me customize my weapons to suit my style of play and makes them feel more unique, rather than "heres this new gun, i guess I should use it.". Its not an extensive system, but enough to give shooting guys more personality. Powers and biotic abilities can be used in combos now, such as using singularity, then using warp to make it destabilize and explode, or freezing a guy then hitting them with concussive shot that makes them shatter and freeze anything nearby. And getting a headshot with a sniper rifle has never felt so rewarding. Honestly, while playing this, im putting a lot of "me" into the actions I make, which leads to a more satisfying result to me personally, or if I made a bad choice ill feel guilty or uneasy about what I just did, but that it was probably the right choice to do.
And most importantly, out of all the cities anywhere on the planet, they chose our home city to be the setting for the start of the game.
Theres my pitch i guess, now go, go and reap what you deserve!
