Ok now before I start getting flames, I want to post the reason for the title... it got your attention. Now that I have it, I shall begin my mini rant. Why do all these types of games have us traveling to New York, just to fight over its remains? I mean, am I the only one who is sick of traveling the ruined, destroyed scenery with layouts that are close to identical, despite how pretty the graphics are? Note that I'm using Mass Effect 3 as the example, because that's what set me off.
Why can't we ever fight somewhere unusual, and perhaps interesting. Lets get some scenery into it, make things a little more iconic. I propose that rather then going to blow up New York AGAIN in mass effect three, we instead switch that portion of the game to Sydney Australia. I mean, can you imagine standing side with your allies, firing round after round into the surf, as waves of Husks and similar come storming up the colorful and beautiful bondi beach?
Or how about charging up the sides of the great coat hanger, only to look down at a tremendous crash, seeing our beloved opera house shattered by the dramatic entrance of a ruined reaper crashing down into it.
Then, with no time to waste, you quickly finish running to the top of the bridge, going after the macguffin or whatever had attracted your attention. Instead, rather then risking a fight, your forced to flee once more, as another reaper comes storming down after you, attempting to blast you out of the sky.
Until fearless Jack (because which other human character is badass enough to be Australian) shows off exactly why shes Humanities strongest biotic, using the bridge itself to capture the reaper, twisting it into a cage made of patriotism and heroism trapping it in our beautiful scenic harbor.
I mean seriously, why return to the same old song and dance, when you can add the classiness of Australian culture and Truly make ME3 the GOTY.
