Thanks Redglyph!A Review of the Mass Effect Trilogy in 2021
3 hours of 'personal journey' summed up into this: He doesn't like hero stories.
Fair enough. But 3 hours?
I usually enjoy his videos, and the beginning was fine. But I admit I almost fell asleep trying to watch further Sorry for the bad one.
On the positive side, he convinced me I didn't really want to buy the Legendary Edition. I didn't like the idea of installing Origin anyway.
I remain unconvinced that there's a point to buying this legendary edition since I have all the individual games and DLC but I check my pulse reguarly to see if I have a jones to play through the games again. I've played through all three, but none of the DLC for games 2 or 3.
Those are very long reviews, he should definitely try harder to make them alive. There are little jokes but as you say, it's the same tone all along. It's also very synthetic, high-level. In a sense, it's his strong suit, but I wish there were a few breaks with down-to-Earth elements for the sake of variety.I don't think he's a bad reviewer, it's just boring in the way he drones on in that monotone voice. He needs to work on his delivery.
Haven't you had Origin in the past though? It was needed for ME 3.
It's really just a minor annoyance tbh, though I really dislike that the Steam versions of EA's games still require it.
I find it interesting when people play through games again. I understand why… great game and you want to experience it again. However, I've almost never done this in the last 8 or 10 years primarily because I've always got a queue of new games I want to try - and I'd rather try something new than play something I've already tried. Clearly though, lots of people are willing to pay for this remaster in order to play (what looks like to me) essentially the same games.
I'm the same way. I do tend to replay my favorite shooters sometimes since they're so much shorter, but it's rare for me to replay an RPG. Even favorites like Elex and TW3 I've only played once. I have too many other games I want to play. I always exhaust the content in a completionist style, so that's probably a factor as well.
I find it especially interesting when people talk about spending 1000+ hours in one game. While I think it's great that they're getting that much enjoyment from it, I always wonder how they can spend that much time in one setting. Plus they're obviously not experiencing a lot of other games.
