The other day I finished ME2 for the first time. I'm late, I know, I
know. However I couldn't help but to notice that after the three days
this game consumed my life, and the credits rolled, I felt really lost
and empty all of a sudden. i just assumed, you know, that it was an
amazing game and the feeling would pass in a few minutes.

...Three days later
I still feel like this. I just feel so sad because this game made me
realize how ****ty the world is. I mean, the friends I made in ME2 are a
million times more awesome than the friends I have in real life. It's not any of the sad moments in the game that stuck with me, it's the fact that there's no people out there like Garrus, Tali, Miranda, etc. I can't say I have ever fallen in love with a ficticious world before.

Has this ever happened to anyone else? WHAT DO

It's happened to me, it takes up so much of your time then you're lost, I suggest immediantly going out to rent/buy another game, it helps or you can revert to your routines before you started Playing ME2 Before I bought ME2, I was playing Mafia 2 but never beat it because of ME2. So I went back and beat and I feel better, go do something outside or do anything I've suggested. or Don't your choice.

[CultofSkaro]

Clearly ME2 was an image of a life you'd want to lead, with plenty of friends and such like. So no, don't go buying other games, because they won't fill the void. Get outside and meet people, so that your real life is as you want it to be, and you don't have to compensate by immersing yourself in a fictituous world.

[robboelrobbo]

I really appreciate the advice guys, thank you. Sadly because I live in a small town, there is seriously a slim variety of friends to choose from. Those who I consider friends don't do anything, either, and I'm rarely ever invited to anything. Only time I see friends is at school.

There's also not a single girl around here who I'd be interested in dating. They all ****** me off for the most part.

I think everyone that plays ME from the begging played at least 40 hours on each game... and that's without replaying it! I've played and replayed both games with a male and a female char.
I don't get the sadness... It's a time conssuming process and that's why it's so gratifying!
Every RolePlayingGame fan plays as an escape to reality (I think the name is self explanatory) but it doesn't mean RPG players aren't socially active.
I confess the sun hurt my eyes when I finished replaying the second game for the second time and that's what felt so good, returning to reality! When you play something you know it's gonna end sonner or later!

PS: An RPG isn't really an RPG if you don't miss it when it's over. It's supose to be the perfect world, the perfect escape. Though I think ME encourages you to be renegade and that might spoil the perfectness for some ppl.

PSS: Who want's to be the sissy paragon? Smack around a guy to much and It'll turn into the "vanguard of your destruction". There was a point in my second ME playthrough that I actually wanted to be sovereign.

I wish I could think of it like that. Lucky fellow, you.

I know pretty much everyone around here, seeing as the population is about 500. You have no idea how excited I am to get out of here, lol.

Oh and the relevance of your age is that many more doors of socialization open up as you get older.

And a little extra warning: usually, you'll have to have more than five brief conversational exchanges with a girl before she's ready to come sneaking into your bedroom.  If it ever seems that easy in real life, be prepared to negotiate a price.

@robboelrobbo

I can understand you being bummed that the game is over, it is an awesome game! But that's what the social network is for. This way you can discuss the game, your favorite characters, etc. Don't be depressed man, just post! enjoy!

[csfteeeer]

if it makes you feel any better, that has happened to me with...
pretty much every BioWare game (except NWN and Da2)

People often mistaken ME2 for adult directed RPG.

In fact, it is much positive than real worlds out here, not just in aspects of friendship, but the society and people overal.

I can even say ME2 characters(including villains.) are much more naive compared to real world people.

If the Arrival DLC took place in the real world, I can garentee that the doctor would have chopped off Shepard's arms and legs, and put his severed head in some kind of bio chemical to keep him alive till Reapers arrival. Instead, those dear minions of Reaprs decided to use sedative to restraint a prisoner who could decide the whole fate of their masters.

Light up, man. Reality is usually ****tier than any fictions.

Reality sucks, my friend. If you are realizing this, then you are starting to grow up. Don't get depressed though. While reality does suck, not everyone in it does. You will find friends if you search for them, although that may require living in a bigger town. Keep in mind that bigger cities don't necessarily mean better people, just more variety and a bigger chance of finding the elusive few people who won't make you miserable. And I'm not just talking about a girlfriend/boyfriend, but normal would-be buddies as well.

Personally, I've gotten to the point where I just don't give a **** anymore. I know good people are out there, but I'm tired of watching old friends change with the crowd and society. Sometimes it feels like I'm the only person in the world that still values things like integrity and kindness and respect. Oh well.

PS: I am 24 years old, and I'm content with my life. But I guess I am a bit of a cynic, and more than a bit sour sometimes.

[robboelrobbo]

Bowser, you sound a lot like me in that second paragraph. That's probably the reason while I feel like this. I used to have lots of friends and such, but they've all changed.

You do sound depressed to me though when you admit that you're cynical like that.

[Sashimi_taco]

Have you played mass effect 1? I'm really sorry you feel that way.

I had a similar feeling but to me it was not so much the game and more the energy and extreme focus i put into beating both games in a row during a short time span while working/going to college full time.

It's important to relax and play badass bioware games in a way that fits free time in your social life and schedule, not vice versa. When thats the case the feeling you'll have when the credits roll will be much more positive my man

[Aspiriini]

When i've been gone a long time and not seen my friends, i get this "Daamn, i really want to see them.." its like missing them, but not. Cant explain.

Played trough ME1 and ME2 in like one sitting, after the supermaraton i quitted the game and started doing the usual stuff again. I was kinda amazed that i felt the "I want to hang out with them" feeling about your squad members! Damn, Bioware, you've made a damn good game.
Luckily it passed in a day or two.
Kinda makes you understand what "Roleplaying game" means ^^

[Arxduke]

Yep. It sucks so bad. I hate looking at the night sky and believing it's all real but being forced by reality to know it's not. I wish I could met my default male Shepard, Kaidan, Miranda...Tali... It sucks knowing I will never actually walk on the Normandy.
I have great friends, but none of them really get me. You know? It feels like everyone in the game understands you and where you come and why. They don't mind coming to you with their problems and you going to them with yours. Everyone watches each others back.

Not in our world.

Heh, I had this with the first Mass Effect. Mainly, it was the environments and worlds that eroded my appreciation for this Canadian, non-exotic, suburban, 'green' tourist town. It also has a laughably small population for a metropolitan area.

I got over it as I played more Fallout.
Now I just appreciate that there aren't over-sized Japanese Hornets everywhere.

You're extremely young.. don't sweat it... things change... a lot.. as you get older.

By the time you're in your 30's you'll be so jaded and numb to the world like 99% of the rest of people that little things like this won't bother you much... if at all. If anything you'll probably be like most people, wishing that you had even an hour or two a day to yourself where people left you the hell alone to rest / relax in peace without wanting to incessisantly hang out or do stupid things together.

The responsibilities of adult life weighs most of us down quite a lot.... not into depression (though certainly some do)... having a lot of really close friends becomes far less important or significant to be honest... sure, they're great to have... but the reality is you'll grow very distant with many / most of them anyway due to life in general (marriage, kids, mortgage, bills to pay... tedious job... etc).... you'll be if you (or your friends) have much free time at all to even socialize... and even when you do get free time, you may end up like many of us who in the back of our minds find ourselves saying:

"Can the whole fracking world just leave me the frack alone for an hour or two so I can veg out and play a damn video game in peace and quiet?" ... even friends I've known since childhood, we seldom see each other.. maybe once a month at best... sure we talk on the phone or MSN messenger, etc... but that's about it... nobody has time to do anyting.. no time to hang out, to do the fun stuff... and the rare times we do, we just want time to rest & relax in peace.

Hard for me to explain properly the.. but I guarantee by your 30's you'll totally understand... stuff just... changes... and the little stuff that's depressing you today will seem and feel very trivial in comparison 

So kick back, relax.. enjoy the fact you're young and can do stupid things and waste time... don't sweat the fact you aren't best buds with a real world equivalent of Garrus or Tali or Liara etc. Very few people in the world actually have true friends... the vast majority of people have buddies... associates... 'that guy I know' .... just people we sort of hang out with.. but not people who risk their own life to save yours... donate a kidney to you... endure real hardships to help you out of a jam... those are true friends and they're exceptionally rare.
