I don’t think I have ever gotten so emotional with a game as I have with the games in the Mass Effect trilogy. I have never played an RPG that connected me so well with the character as I did with my Commander Shepard. My morals became his morals, my wishes became his. I have basically been playing Mass Effect 3 non-stop since the day it came out. Needless to say, I loved every bit of it. However, after playing countless hours of the game, I dawned on the fact that it wasn’t the game that I loved, it was the stories and characters. In my own opinion, despite all of the controversy, I very much enjoyed where the 3rd installment of the series took the story and how it finished the series. However, travelling that path to the end was possibly one of the most painful experiences I have ever endured while playing a game. It is a broken game; a fantastic and emotional story buried beneath everything else that makes a game. The voice acting particularly was never very good in the Mass Effect games, but Mass Effect 3 took it to a whole new level of ear-bleeding blandness. I sat through and listened to countless hours of forced, unemotional dialogue that made me cringe, but I continued along the path. To add to the abominable excuse of voice acting, the animations brought me to a new level of disappointment. Oh how I absolutely loved when my Shepard kissed Liara passionately on the eye or how he stared deeply into the wall when he told her how much he loved her. It was the little things that got to me. The weapons clipping into the armor or Shepard’s “I’m a badass” poses which normally would lead to everyone dying of laughter if they saw someone stand like that. That said, once you get past the cheesy remarks, stuttering animations, and other bumps and bruises, it really is a fantastic game. I just wonder why they couldn’t make the whole game like the Mass Effect 2 DLC “Lair of the Shadow Broker”, which by itself was in a completely different league of awesome than the rest of the games are combined. I want humor, I want mind blowing emotional content, I want sceneries that I could stare at for hours just to soak up the beauty. But as it stands, the game still stole my mind for many days after finishing. It was hauntingly good.
