#Mass effect 1 pinnacle station full
The time after that, I went into the menu screen and the game froze again, necessitating a full hardware restart. During my next try, the game simply froze. The first time, my character inexplicably became unable to move and I was reduced to an immobile gun turret. Out of five separate attempts, I was not once able to complete a single round of combat. Time trials? Really? After all these months of waiting and looking forward to getting back into one of what I consider one of the best games of the last decade, the brightest idea BioWare came up with was time trials? In recycled environments, no less.Īdding insult to injury, the content is choppy, extremely buggy and glitch-prone. No tasks, no jobs, no missions… instead, Pinnacle Station is a bunch of combat-driven time trials that players can enter and attempt to rank on a leaderboard.Īlthough there are a few different types of trials, they all boil down to being something that feels completely out of place and inappropriate for a story-driven RPG like Mass Effect. There are no new alien races that I noticed, no moral choices, nor any quests to undertake. Titled Pinnacle Station, the new content is essentially a tiny base that Shepard can enter. Catching me completely by surprise, I drove home at the first opportunity, breathlessly queued it up for download, and was… absolutely disappointed. I still had (at least) one more to look forward to, and surely, that one would be a home run, right?Īfter months of nearly total silence on the final add-on, it appeared on Xbox Live with not a whisper of fanfare or forewarning. Besides, BioWare had promised at least two pieces of DLC before the launch of Mass Effect 2. It wasn't mindblowing, but it was good enough. A few quick missions, some dialogue and choices to make, and another opportunity to put my own personalized version of Commander Shepard through her paces. The first piece of DLC, Bring Down The Sky, was short and felt a little cobbled together, but it was basically another chunk of what I was looking for. Although it's true all good things come to an end, thanks to the current trend of releasing post-game Downloadble Content, good things can keep going for a little longer. Encapsulating everything I love about video games, action, and sci-fi in one complete package, I devoured every last tasty morsel. One of the games to which I gave top marks was BioWare's Mass Effect. My point? I don't hand out the highest honor lightly. I'm no math whiz, but if you average that out, I'm pretty sure that's one for every five years. So, out of my ten-year career reviewing games professionally, I've only awarded two perfect "10" scores.
