This is only a recent pickup for me as I was playing the entire trilogy on Xbox 360 back in the day.
The Mass Effect series has always appealed to me because it allows you to make friends with people that don't exist, who will love you unconditionally and will die for you if you ask them to. I mean, if that's not the highest quality escapism, then I don't know what is. You can even have sex with a bisexual blue alien lady. I'm still looking for someone out there to enact that fantasy with me in real life.
This one is the final entry in the trilogy of ME games. But the rest of the series cannot be played on WiiU. So the experience as a whole is greatly diminished. But if you take the game for it's own merits, it's still pretty fun.
I love playing multiplayer in this game. It's a repetitive ass horde mode that nobody plays anymore. I'm serious, I've played with the same four people that still play this game on this console. The WiiU is a dead console but seriously. There are only five of us out here still trying to win the war. But it's still fun.
The shooting sounds and feels great on every gun. The powers are awesome and figuring out how to build your character in order to do the most damage possible is a great time. The main story has amazing music and plenty of great missions. The reapers feel unstoppable, like an unknowable force from deep space that rains down terror on the masses. That's because they are that, but just saying it is not enough. These are enemies that we waited to duke it out with for 2 other long ass games. They are awesome and always a pleasure to kill.
Some of you have heard about the crappy ending. I don't really care about the ending, because I loved the games for what they were on their own. I only play games to have fun. This is a fun game with a disappointing ending. But if you didn't take the time to get to know all of the characters and love them with all your heart, then the ending will not matter. You'll just have enjoyed a really good game. So take my word for what it's worth and give this classic a revisit. If you want to play with me on WiiU then my tag is legendoeddiebob. It's a really stupid name but it always makes me laugh when I say it out loud.
