Lift – Mass Effect
It’s ironic that Mass Effect is named after the newly discovered scientific phenomenon that allows faster-than-light travel, because it’s got the slowest and most annoying lift you’re ever going to have the displeasure of using! I mean, really guys, couldn’t you have used some of that badass technology to make a lift that would take less than a friggin' year to get you just one storey higher?
What makes it even more ironic is that the damn lift is aboard the most advanced prototype spaceship of the human fleet – the SSV Normandy. When I say the lift is slow as hell, I’m not exaggerating. If you add up the time you spend traveling in that godforsaken lift, it would easily account for a quarter of the time you took to finish the game. It befuddles me when I try to figure out what induced the developers to make the lift so goddamn slow... were they using that time to load something in the background? Did they think gamers love the view inside an industrial metal cargo lift? WHAT THE F#!@ WERE YOU THINKING, GUYS?!
