Mass Effect is one of those iconic series that many of us don't think about when we think about the series that have had profound impacts in the gaming industry. Mass Effect is by far one of those series. And from that perspective it really ushered in a sci fi era when it came to the generation of the Xbox 360. And what that really meant what was sci fi going to be in the next generation. And a lot of times we don't think about that, whenever we think about Mass Effect we don't understand the importance of this game, and how it ushered in that generation. From the perspective of Mass Effect. We are seeing a sci fi series here, that takes on a cataclysm in the universe and Commander Shepard goes on a mission to figure out exactly what is going on in the world that is causing all the problems, mysterious disappearances, and much more. And we find out that Commander Shepard has this personality. He comes from a tough background now at the beginning of the game you can choose who you want Commander Shepard to be. But overall, he's a hard nosed soldier. When it comes right down to it, and there's numerous options in the game, such as biotics which is kind of like the magic of Mass Effect, you have the soldier. And there are many others that allow this game to bring in a lot of different ways to play the game. Now the combat and Mass effect was never the greatest I don't think the goal was honestly to create a game or superb combat. I think they wanted to get this game out there. As an RPG and during that time, it was accepted not to have great combat for RPG, now that has kind of changed over the years, as we go into the new generation that we're currently in right now of gaming yet. Back then, it didn't really matter when it came to RPGs, and what those entailed with combat so Mass Effect did a lot of different things. It also allows you to explore the universe. Now let's, this is no all out exploration, this was just the idea of exploring the universe and seeing what's out there, and it did a good job overall at that the planets would have details about them and different minerals that you can mine. And that was an innovative concept. They mainly the dialogue options in the story of Mass Effect are what carry it the most. If you go into this game expecting a good story, you are going to get a good story. Mass Effect did hit the high points when it comes to story as Commander Shepard travels to different worlds meets new companions, and even has a love which was under heard of in video games at that time if we remember a love story in video games, was kind of tougher to do at that time, and Mass Effect really set off the love story in video games. And what that could be that kind of brought a new dynamic to video games that you don't always see in that aspect. So Mass Effect did a lot of great things when it comes to gaming, and what it was trying to do. And overall, it is top notch title and that's why I want to explore more regarding Mass Effect. In the coming days, as we try to put together a lot of episodes. These will be quick spurt episodes that I feel like that's more beneficial in the long run and allows you guys to really connect with this podcast has week explore all about Mass Effect. And what this series has to offer.
