Wasn't Mass Effect sort of a soft reboot of SC2? I played SC and SCII to death when I was a young 'un, many afternoons wasted blowing away friends with weird alien technology. I had one buddy who had mutant reflexes who would just bap the hell out of EVERYONE with his Arilou skiff.
- chowells 3y agoI don't think Mass Effect was exactly made as a SC2 reboot, but it definitely captured the same feeling. That's the only thing that was able to get me through the wasteland of a modern-style narrative "AAA" game. Never managed it before or since.
- djur 3y agoBoth games have a mutual influence in Starflight.
- hnthrowaway0315 3y agoI haven't played SC but ME feels a bit shallow. I played the trilogy and yes there is a ton of material but each material seems as if can be expanded into a DLC.
- jadbox 3y agoAt a GDC session, ME team acknowledged that they were heavily inspired for this title by SC2.
- MilStdJunkie 3y agoDid not know that. Huh!!
- rasz 3y agoYes, Mass Effect did much better job with that story, so does StarSector. I tried playing SC and SC2, but every time jerky, low resolution and unfun arcade space battle gameplay part turned me off. StarSector is Star Control done right.
