Mass Effect 3
Mass Effect 3 is the third installment of the Mass Effect series. Additionally, it’s your final chance to play as Commander Shepard, the legendary human soldier. This time, you’ll lead Shepard and his elite team into battle against the paramiltary group known as Cerberus and a dangerous race of machines: The Reapers. The Reapers are a synthetic-organic race of machines that culls the galaxy of all advanced life every 50,000 years. Once again, it’s time for the Reapers to rise.
Similar to Mass Effect 2, the you can carry over your previous save files from the first two Mass Effect games. The decisions you made in each playthrough combine to give each player a unique experience in the world of Mass Effect 3. To be more specific, over 1000 variables combine together to shape your individual story. For players new to the Mass Effect universe, don’t worry – you can choose an origin story that pulls together the major choices you would have made in the first two games.
Mass Effect 3 ushers in several new changes to the combat system. A brand new cover system allows for more precise offense and defense, while the ability to score instant melee kills gives you additional flexibility on the battlefield. Most importantly, the artificial intelligence has been greatly improved and is more responsive than ever before. You’ll also enjoy an expanded leveling system that allows you to distribute points among varying skill trees, further individualizing the gameplay experience.
Additionally, Mass Effect 3 allows you to choose from one of three pre-set campaign modes: RPG mode, story mode, and action mode. RPG mode represents the typical Mass Effect experience with a normal combat difficulty and player decisions. Story mode also allows for manual replies and decisions, but decreases combat difficulty. Finally, action mode minimizes the story aspects with automatic conversation replies.
