Pile of Shame Sunday - 6th June 2021

Did I mention how much I love the new Photo Mode?

The following post is part of a series of posts that are published every Sunday to update readers on what Mark G has been up to with respect to finishing off games on his "Pile of Shame". The games to target are picked by Choicest Games contributors Choona, Luke and myself. As I'll be talking about my progress through these games, there may be spoilers ahead, especially for games containing a narrative. Consider yourself warned.


Mass Effect Legendary Edition

  • Picked by Me
  • Percentage Complete = 19%

I spent much of this week completing side quests including a quest that unlocks a specialisation for your character after you defeat a rogue VI on the Moon. I love it how you get to visit the Solar System in Mass Effect and this way you learn a bit more about Humanity's first steps with respect to space exploration and FTL research. One thing I don't love though is that despite there being improvements made to the combat in the first Mass Effect, it's still pretty shonky when it comes to your follower AI and inventory management is still a bit of a pain too, mainly because there are so many damn things you can pick up (I much preferred the streamlined system they had in the sequels).

I've ended this week by starting one of the main storyline missions on the planet of Feros. I've brought along both Liara and Tali since Liara is apparently an expert on Prothean ruins (which is basically the entire planet of Feros) and Tali being Quarian knows a thing or two about the Geth.
