The Mass Hype Effect
As an avid gamer myself I have a love for almost every genre and believe games to be the next driving force in story telling and art but among all games I have a special fondness of Bioware's sci-fi epic Mass Effect. The Mass effect series has spanned two games and a collection of novels, but now the third and perhaps final Mass Effect game is to be released in Europe tomorrow and in the calm before the storm I myself have fallen prey to the immense hype surrounding the title.
Hype by its very nature makes our expectations ridiculously high and almost impossible to meet Games like Duke Nukem Forever and Dragon Age 2 are textbook examples from last year of games that failed to meet the ridiculous hype from fans, to this end I ask now that the first reviews of Mass Effect 3 come in is it possible that our expectations have not been met? After all Dragon Age was another Bioware game and had a very successful predecessor, as is the case of the Mass Effect series.
