This is a bit of an aside, though I imagine the main point will be addressed in full so no biggie?

But he is 100% spot on about Mass Effect. 1 was great, but 2 was the best IMO, even though people shit on it a lot. It was just so slick and well put together. The classes were different and fleshed out, and the inventory and upgrade systems were much better. Then 3 was farted out and finished out the series with a whimper instead of a bang.

And honestly? I think he's right. Are there any gamers here that remember the feminist whining about EVERYTHING related to the game? BAWWW, we don't have a real model for femshep! Followed by BAAAWWW, she can't be blonde! That's sexualization!

I mean, fucking really? In a game where the point is to create and write your own character anyway, you bitch about hair color on a preset model?

Followed by, is the game feminist enough? As if any regular Jezebel reader is going to play an RPG. Oh, but don't worry ladies! We took out all that messy growth and upgrade stuff! Its just like those Cawadoody games you take pictures with on facebook!

And the same gaming press who filated the feminist ego turned around and acted surprised when the game was shit. SHOCK. AND. AWE!
