I was born in the computer age – before windows was here to
make things simpler. Our first computer was running DOS. I was very young when
I first played computer games and these games were running on DOS so it was
very simplistic fun games of which the games I cannot remember. I played more
“television games” with a console box and the time spent there was not allot.
See, I was still in an age where we actually “went outside to go and play”. Our
play time was almost always outside – whereas now kids spend most of their time
inside with TV and Computer games.
Unfortunately nowadays it is simply not safe anymore for a
bunch of kids to play on the streets – and with technology and smartphones
physical social interaction is becoming a thing of the past.
Back to my topic – the Integrity of Gaming. I was not a
heavy gamer in terms of computers and consoles. In school I basically played 2
games all the time which was Heroes of Might and Magic 4 and Red Alert 2. The
only reason why I only played these games was because it was the only games on
my computer and I liked playing them. I did not have the need to find other
games to play – that did not even occur to me and the fact that there might
even be a Heroes of Might and Magic 5 did not occur to me at all. I was not a
heavy or even a casual gamer. What I liked about these games was that I create
a Massive map and it would take weeks to finish. I was introduced to the gaming
scene only after I finished school and a new world of fun and games awaited me.
Now seriously, Back to my topic: The Integrity of
gaming. The Best game I have ever played
in my life is…The one and only…totally amazing… The Mass Effect Series. Bioware
really did a great job with this game. It is a total of 3 games. Mass Effect 1,
Mass Effect 2 and Mass effect 3. All of
them are great games and if you do want to try it out you have to start with
Mass effect 1. This game is Good for many reasons and one of them are that your
choices has an effect throughout the series. The choices you make in number 1
will affect the game in number 3. And seemingly small choices and decisions you
make can have great consequences throughout your adventure.
Another reason the
game is the best is the amount of work that went into it. You can really see it
– the dialogue and voice actors is excellent. The Storyline and the way the
game progress and tells the story is done very well. I played the Mass Effect
series a few times over, because it is
that good and there aren’t many other games that are this good. Another good game they made was Dragon age,
not as good as Mass Effect, but good. They unfortunately messed up with Dragon
2 which is not as good as Dragon age 1.
I played other games that were good as well like The Witcher
2, Command and Conquer 3, Anno 1404, Anno 2070, Skyrim, Warcraft 3, Rage, The
settlers, Dawn of War(not number2), Assassins creed 1,2 and 3, Portal 1 and 2.
Just to name a few. They are all great games to play, But the way Mass effect
plays and how it was made is excellent. They did the best they could and then
did even better.
The game has integrity – some games that come out now are
not very well done. You play it and tell yourself that they could have done
such a better job with it. You have those game developers that make one good
game – and then the second game of that series is crap. Almost like they are
cashing in on the name of the first game.
Not Cool. Some strive to do even better and get it right.
I have read that Bioware is busy developing a new Mass
Effect series and I will patiently await its arrival.
For those who would like
to know – The Witcher 3 and Dragon Age 3 are also in development and is
estimated to be out early 2014. I will be playing those game So that is it – A very
well done game deserves to be written about.
s if my computer
can handle it.
I also like to play games sometimes. I like the Metro games, Fallout, assassins creed, skyrim.
ReplyDeleteI never played mass effect but I will try it now.
There is a game your gonna like a lot as well, its called: dishonored
Mass effect 1 Could take a little while to get used to, but it is cool. I did play Dishonored and yes it is awesome. There is an expansion out for Dishonored called "knife of dunwall". gonna get it and play it.
