Making Your Move in a Popular Franchise That Backfired
The games in Assassin's Creed 3 affected the series negatively for me.
I developed a strong interest in Mass Effect as a series, but initially hesitated because the first installment resembled Gears of War too closely, which didn’t appeal to me. After completing the entire trilogy, the subsequent games exhibit a Morrowind-like complexity that feels overly intricate. Despite its impressive gameplay and RPG features, it seemed to offer too many abilities. Personally, I think Mass Effect 2 achieved a solid balance, though with less polished mechanics. It felt like Oblivion captured the right mix of complexity and playability, while Skyrim was more accessible for newcomers.
