I remember when I first played Mass Effect. About...... I'd say 9 years ago from today, I believe, back when I was a sophomore in high school. It was the first game to genuinely give me a headache due to its shear vastness and plethora of information. There was so much to learn from the codec, and the Presidium was so large that I often got lost exploring. Today though, I can navigate it with relative ease, and I understand the political views of most races. Still, listening to this really adds to the Citadel's Grandeur.

Is it weird that I'm genuinely sad that I can't live here?
@joelhewitt53388 жыл бұрын
This reply is a year late, but NO. It's not sad at all.I wish I could live there, as well! The Mass Effect Galaxy is perhaps my favorite Sci-Fi Universe to virtually inhabitant. Perhaps that's why it wins out over all the others I love - Star Wars, Trek, Stargate, ect. Not to mention all the space sims I've played. But those are just composed of books and movies and episodes. BioWare did something incredible when they gave us a universe where we felt as, if only for the span of a few hours, that we truly did live IN that universe. We were part of it. We affected it. It was not just in our minds, it was before our eyes. If only virtually. But it was sublime. Also, they've always done cities in their games REALLY well. Here's to you, BioWare, for three amazing games that gave us deeply loved characters and a deeply thought provoking and complex story. And here's to 2017 and the Final Frontier in Mass Effect Andromeda! #Toboldlygo

I had a fight with my best friend last night about how games aren't fun anymore. I'm 28 and he's 29. He said I don't have fun with new games because I don't let myself have fun, but I say new games aren't fun because they're empty, commercial, and dead. Mass Effect was a great game. The music, the story, the scale: it was so easy to be immersed. They just don't make games like this anymore. Graphics don't mean anything if there's no feeling, and that's what games have lost.

I've always thought 99% of all games, TV series, novels and movies sucked. Not just now, but also in the past. I loved Mass Effect for its story, though. Out of newer titles, I personally love almost every installment in the Trails series (esp. Sen no Kiseki). The story is epic at a scale comparable to Mass Effect, and the music is just as good, if not better. The story isn't quite as scientific, which is unfortunate, since I'm a science-nerd, but I like how the setting mixes fantasy elements with early modern era technology. That said, other than those aspects the series share almost nothing in common. Trails is filled with anime / JRPG tropes, Mass Effect is filled with Hollywood tropes. Trails games tend to have a slow-ish beginning and overly fast-paced ending, while Mass Effect games have highs and lows spread out more evenly. Both have some of the best-written stories I've seen in any video game to date, though, so I recommend giving e.g. Trails of Cold Steel a go if you're more story-oriented like I am. Gameplay-wise, I personally love Dark Souls and Bloodborne, and Sekiro is pretty good, too. I expect Elden Ring to be just as good. I also like sneaking games like MGS / Deus Ex, and debate games like Danganronpa / Ace Attorney. Sandbox games like Skyrim are also nice. In terms of gameplay, I think games have only become better over the decades, though I have to admit I haven't encountered any new supremely fun games after Bloodborne. But even that might just be my age showing, since apparently, people's brains become desensitized to "exciting" stimuli as they age, a process that, according to one hypothesis, seems to be attributable to dopamine neurotoxicity. As a final note, I don't think anything can beat VNs in terms of story. Fate/Stay Night: Realta Nua has overwhelmingly the best story I've seen in any "video game" to date. That said it's basically a novel, so I suppose it doesn't really count.
