Judged in light of this game’s huge potential—Mass Effect was reasonably good, and Mass Effect 2 was The A.V. Club’s top game of 2010—the Mass Effect 3
demo was the most disappointing on the show floor. It was awful. The
low point was a scene shown at the end of the presentation. Attendees
were warned beforehand that this sequence would pack an emotional
wallop. It showed the hero of the series, Commander Shepard, trying to
save a boy from an alien invasion. Put it this way: If the scene were
submitted to the Hallmark Channel as a treatment for a Christmas
special, it would be rejected with the note “Too hokey.”
The old: The sad-little-boy sequence was the worst of the
demo, but the rest was almost as bad, as director Casey Hudson prattled
on about combat features like mêlée assassinations and hand grenades as
if they were exciting innovations, rather than mundane
third-person-shooter staples that gamers have seen countless times
before.
The new-ish: The traditional Mass Effect dialogue wheel remains, but with Mass Effect 3,
if you have a Kinect, you can yell your dialogue choices at the TV
rather than using the controller. Jesus Christ, BioWare. Please do not
screw this game up.
Yikes!
I just replayed ME2, and enjoyed it more this time (with the DLC) than I think I did the first two times I played. Please don't have ME3 be another DA2...
