'If you're going to tell a story that's as fleshed out as Mass Effect, TV is the way to do it. You'd think with all the tech they carry around they could have recorded evidence of what was going on instead of everyone having to rely on Shepards words every time he meets or talked to a bad guy. BioWare's Mac Walters said in June this year that TV is a better fit for Mass Effect.

About one-sixth of this five-part series was published in EGM. If they hasn't decided to go the stupid Super weapon it of nowhere AI route, I like to imagine we would have gone with a far more sensible story that involved preparing for the reapers. A while back, Mass Effect genius Mac Walters and I had a talk about the art of writing in the science fiction videogame series, the latest iteration of which tops many year end lists this year. It would be nice if for once people would believe the guy that saves everyone's asses over and over and not until its too late to do anything.

Give him some form of respect and stop butting all of the blame on him.

They never made the Reapers less powerful, but they did seem more silly as we knew more about them, we also developed weapons that were specifically supposed to combat them but I don't think we saw one past Normandy using it on the collector ship at the end of ME2. Also, Mac Walters wrote fan loved characters such as WREX, GARRUS, and the fucking ILLUSIVE MAN. You also take one down on earth with whatever missle that was, it only took one iirc and they had three at time, but again it had to open its eye to blow it up. He said ME3, so I think he was talking about the Destroyer subtype that you fight on Rannoch, though that went down due to the starship canons rather than Shepard.
