This series is one of the best things ever posted on Gamespot. At times my side hurt from laughing so hard, at other moments I mourned. Thank you so much for putting it all together. It's a great reminder of why the Mass Effect trilogy is a classic.
Did I miss the part where Kevin discussed how this plays on different hardware? I'm especially curious how it plays on last-gen consoles. I don't care too much about graphics and want to put off upgrading as long as possible.
Finally, another X-Box game that I can play with my 5-year-old sons! Fantasia is a great setting, too. There is such a dearth of quality kid games on this console. Hopefully there are more on the horizon.
@Kevin-V Did I miss the part in the review where it discussed how the game plays on different systems? I'm especially curious to read how the game is different on the consoles from the last generation (i.e., X-Box 360 and Playstation 3). I remember reading sometime past that there were specific features that were going to be left out in those versions. I'd like to know how the final product measures up. Plus, I haven't seen a compelling reason to buy a new generation console, and am wondering if I could find it in this game.
I used to love playing table-top games. The closest video games ever got to mirroring the fun and camaraderie was when a bunch of us played Mario Cart and 007 on the split screen. Some of my fondest memories. With the focus on online play, I feel like this generation seems somewhat soulless.
You guys remember when there were cars; before the auto industry was destroyed by used car sales? Remember when there were clothes; before thrift stores put garment makers and Sears out of business? Remember when you could buy anything new; before Craig's List put every company in the world out of business with their cheap, used goods? Used games sales aren't sinking the industry. If anything does, it will be the industry itself. A company can only bleed its consumers of every little penny they own for so long. After a while they'll either walk away or run out of pennies.
