Mass Effect vs Max Payne 3
Mass Effect
Mass Effect is a science-fiction-themed where you play as the charismatic leader of an elite squad of three, Commander Shepard, as you set off on an epic adventure across the galaxy to save your civilization and to put an end to the traitorous Saren and his army, or if you're playing the free DLC, the Batarians. Ranging from the character customization to its incredibly-intriguing, open-ended storyline, Mass Effect offers a depth that hasn't been seen before at the time of its release in 2008. You can actually build or destroy relationships with your team members in the game by choosing a dialogue option during conversations as well. Being a space-themed game, you'll even get to explore the vast galaxy and search for crucial minerals on potentially mineral-rich planets.The gameplay in Mass Effect may not be as great as other games of its generation but it's good enough to help carry the game's amazing narrative forward. If you enjoy a good sci-fi story and RPG, Mass Effect is a game you simply mustn't miss out!
Max Payne 3
Max Payne 3 is the latest sequel to the Max Payne franchise. The story in this game continue to follow Max's struggles with the tragedies and losses he experienced but this time around, he is no longer a cop but a bodyguard who is in charged of protecting the family of a billionaire real estate mogul. However, things went terribly wrong and Max finds himself in a foreign city hunting down the kidnappers and also the truth to his past. With the storyline in mind, the developers have added plenty of nice cinematic scenes to further increase the immersion of its compelling narrative.Not to mention, the game also greatly improved its slow-motion-based gameplay with the addition of the Rockstar Games' proprietary Advanced Bullet Time® and Shootdodge™ and Final Kill-cam mechanics that guarantees some epicly stylish shooting action. Every bit of the gameplay is brilliant rendered to incredible detail as well, giving the slow-motion aspect of its gameplay the kind of high quality that many have praised the game for.
Max Payne 3 is an astoundingly well-made sequel when it comes to gameplay, but many fans have noted that this game oddly lacks the noir feel that had made the franchise unique in the first place. Perhaps it is just part of the franchise's evolution to being a mainstream game, or maybe the developers just want to try something new. Regardless, if you're a fan of the Max Payne story, you might have a bit of a mixed feeling about this game. But if you're just in for the slow-motion-infused shooting action, then you won't be disappointed!
