Was There A Game That Did Enemies Better Than Mass Effect 3? (www.dualshockers.com)

Mass Effect games are often praised for their cinematic storytelling and exceptional companions, but the series' unique approach to enemies is often overlooked.

Am I alone in not remembering literally any enemy in Mass Effect 3?

Even the Banshees? That’s the one enemy that usually still makes people start cussing.

There are a lot of reasons to love the Mass Effect games, but even after reading the article, my answer to the question it poses is, "Yeah, tons." The things this article cites as novel are pretty much universal to video game enemy design, and I can't think of anything that any Mass Effect game invented here.

That was the most milquetoast take I've ever skimmed. Utter drivel. Ugh.
