Mass Effect 1 had the best plot of the series, and while the stakes were pretty high in the end, it was a slow burn to get there and most of the game was about chasing down one rogue agent. ME1 style storyline could be possible and maybe even likely. The endgame might be about saving civilizations, planets or even a galaxy, but the new storyline gives them some time before they have to make it huge again. | ||

Small scale adventures are under rated. For all its faults, I loved the idea of DA:2 taking places around one city over a decade. I wish they had been given more time. | ||

If you can reproduce such a moment in ME:A, the game might start getting me. We will see what we get. I still expect 1 character DLC, 1 Planet DLC (remember sometimes you hear 7 planets, sometimes you heard 5) and 2 more. Till these ones are out, I try to not get hyped in any way. | ||

Regardless, this will probably be a day 1 purchase for me as long as I can clear out my work schedule. All of the other ME games have been excellent, and I haven't regretted buying them (ME3's ending aside). | ||

If you expect this to be Witcher 3 in space you'll be sorely disappointed, I'd sooner look towards Deus Ex: Human Revolution for a comparison in terms of RPG design, both story-wise and fighting-wise. By that I mean the story will be a little dumbed down and the narrative will hold your hand on missions, but the combat will be fluid and mostly satisfying. Can't compare to Dragon Age: Inquisition since I haven't played it myself, but I also expect ME:A to be better than Fallout 4, if that's saying anything at all. | ||

If you're just looking for a sweet space adventure it really wouldn't hurt to wait a few days or weeks and see what the critic/user response is. | ||

This is especially true if they stick to the same DLC schedule as Mass effect 3 whereby important lore and context for an unfinished ending gets unveiled over a year after the game has released. The world of mass effect doesn't bear close scrutiny well. The presentation is cool, but when it comes down to justifying the existence of cool they often fall short (The Geth are a prime example of this for anyone that has been involved with mass effect 1-3). Or the cool is in direct opposition to some other theme that the writers thing are cool, and when you start comparing the two the entire thing falls apart. The DLC are usually self-contained stories. Much like how a slice of life tv series might show some character growth and then never call back to it save for a single conversation or callback. The villain / antagonist or a story beat involving opposition to the main character often follows a set route, and in some cases it's almost as if the villain has been reading the script (Illusive man). Sometimes a thing might happen that invalidates player agency for the sake of drama (Kai leng temple incident). Sometimes a thing might happen because it's a game mechanic, but it won't make sense from a lore perspective. But if you just want to play Dirty Harry meets star trek then you're good. | ||

1) I'm a ME sucker. I hated the series after ME3 because that final 5% really really really pissed me off. But I do like the atmosphere and generally the stories, scenery & score are great. 2) 20% discount from Amazon Prime to pre-order games, so why not. | ||
