I've started this game quite a few times already but after
an hour on Friday got bored & switched it off. Abbas was adamant that I
was making a mistake & I needed to play it for longer before I made a
decision on the game.
After four to five hours playing yesterday evening I'm hooked
& starting to enjoy the game. The first few hours are full of tutorials
& menu pop-ups, you are struggling to get to grips with the game
mechanics & the game keeps on giving you more tutorials.
J-RPGs have perfected the art of in-game tutorials. Ni No
Kuni did not tell the player about the all squad command till after the first
big boss fight a good fourteen hours into the game. I have now figured out what
the various controller buttons do & how to control your squad. The
inventory management is really crap, I collect loot & there is no easy way
of knowing what I have collected without going through each weapon/armour &
checking for upgrades.
I am currently at the Citadel & have recruited a few
more squad members. Just need to decide on which two I want to include in my
squad, I think I may just stick with the original two of Ashley & Alenko.
With the trilogy to play I think I don’t need to buy anything else for the rest
of the year.
Stick with them. I thought ME2 was the best of the trilogy but enjoyed them all.
ReplyDeleteNow on my 3rd playthrough. My first was a Renegade, my 2nd was a Paragon and this 3rd one is sort of in the middle cos she hates aliens.
Stick with Mass Effect, just remember that it's a few years old now and some of the gameplay and inventory management is a bit dodgy. Forgive it its foibles and you'll discover a superb game in there, just remind yourself they fix all the crappy bits in Mass Effect 2 but you need to get your character and story through the first one!
ReplyDeleteIt took me a few hours but I'm hooked now into the story. I think I will stick with Ashley & Alenko for my squad
