Comment on What's a recent game you've tried playing that isn't worth the hype?

The entire Mass Effect series. Many of the missions were dredging through mostly empty buildings that had copy-pasted boxes and random shit in them. The world felt purposeless and generic. The story didn’t really grab me and the play was clunky and awkward.
I do wish they’d done more with the buildings.
The structures being carbon-copy was lore, they’re built in factories and dropped from ships.
But that doesn’t mean they all need the same boxes in a row layout internally, some personality would have been great and pretty easy to implement.
I played through fhe whole series thinking the good part was about to happen since there was hype for the game.
Out of curiosity, who did you romance, and why?
No one. Because it’s incredibly cringy.
So am I to assume there was more to the story that didn’t click with you than the optional narrative sub-branch that you chose not to engage with?

I love the series, but I played the games when they came out. It’s true that the level design of ML2 suffers from it being a cover shooter and ML1 is very dated now.
Which of the three titles did you hate most/represents your dislike best?
