Gaming Memories: Mass Effect 3

Hi guys,
 This post will be attempting something, which I hope you really enjoy, you will have noticed by now that there is a You Tube video above, well what I want you to do is prepare the video to play, then come back and continue reading. Done that? Good, now we will begin. Just a quick note, the video is not mine and I don't claim it to be, all rights belong to their respective owners. Unleash the beats..... (play the song)
     As you leave Earth to the devastation that will inevitably consume it, you are left to ponder, what will you do to make all this death worth leaving behind. You jump aboard the Normandy, and fly away. Away from the murder, away from bodies, away from your friends. Away from your duty? You quickly fly to Mars to try and out run you conscience, will you succeed? We will see. During your stay on the red moon, you encounter some old friends, some of whom you may have fallen in love with previously, and some who you have be trained to hate during previous encounters. This encounter with him is no different. You are now not only trying to out run your conscience, but also a highly trained assassin.
       Although you meet some old friends, you also lose some. Although some people may not have known this person for long, you feel a tug at your heart strings, as she is taken away to be taken to hospital. As you leave the red moon, you see more reaper ships landing on the planet, to reap the same destruction as they have planned on earth. You have now left two planets to burn behind you whilst you flee in a ship.
     Your travels then take you to a country sized space station where you are tasked to be given you new orders. As you progress through this station, you are left to wonder, all these millions of people are safe; but for how long. Can I leave yet another assortment of races to die? Why should I flee, whilst the can not?

We will find out together soon.

Where could it go next? Mass Effect

Hi guys
Before I get into this I would just like to say that I will be talking about the ending of Mass Effect 3 but I won't be naming any specifics.
   Ok, as you will know if you have played ME3 the graphics look amazing, as do the faces. One of the things I would like to see in ME4 is better lip syncning, I'm not saying it was bad in ME3 but it did pull you out of the experience on a few occasions. The mission list is also a quite confusing thing for me, I get what the missions are and all that, but if I went of and did some side missions I forgot what the main story line mission was. As you may be able to imagine this was quite a pain, but only a small thing. Although nothing forced you  to just to the missions the environments weren't big enough, or interesting enough to warrent a really good look around inbetween missions.
   As you will know if you have read my Mass Effect 3 review you will know my biggest problem with the game was the fact that time was a big factor in the game. If you went of and did a few side quests inbetween missions you were penilised for not dealing with a situation quick enough. You are given a chance to do any side quests you want near the end but it is not made clear enough.
    Another thing I would like to see implimented in ME4 is the lack of need to play the multiplayer to get a better ending in the single player. I personally really enjoyed the multiplayer but since finishing the campaign, I haven't been back to the multiplayer. Also so many people didn't like the need to play the multiplayer. The only saving grace is that it was a very good, glich free multiplayer.
     The last thing I would like to see included in ME4 is a better ending. I won't name specifics but there are certain events that are set in stone. After all the decisions you make certain things will still happen. I don't know if this is possible but I would like the introduction of a random ending engine included. So it takes bits of pre-recorded speech and pegs them together to make a unique ending. Like I say I don't know if that is possible but it would be quite nice. One thing I will say on the engine is that ME4 has been confirmed as being made with the Frostbite 3 engine, which is what BF4 is being made on. Does this mean that we will get the introduction of destructible environments is ME4 how would you feel about that? When I post this post I will put a poll on the blog asking whether you think it would be a good introduction into the series.
I hope you have enjoyed reading, see you soon
