I remember when Shepard was running towards the beam and everyone was getting blown up around her. When the beam hit her and she went down I had this very visceral fight or flight response where I wasn't sure if I wanted to exit the game and load up the last save. I thought I had done something wrong and this sense of horror took over as Shepard struggled to stand. The next ten minutes I can easily remember this onslaught of adrenaline and to be honest as it ended I didn't watch it. Do you know what I did? I hopped on the forums to see if what happened was real, if I had made a mistake and I searched for a good hour hoping I had done something wrong and that it wasn't real. It was real but I remember that moment vividly and then the immediate let down when I realized that was it. 40hrs, not a lot of sleep, powering through work as fast as possible to get home, ignoring family and friends for that. But my question did anyone else have that moment where you thought you had made a mistake like maybe zigged when you should have zagged and that's why you got that ending?
First thought: Oh crap I'm dead
Second thought: Oh another dream sequence
Third thought: This is the slowest anyone has ever walked
Fourth though: Anderson? This is real? What's happening?
Star child shows up: Wait what? What are you blabbing about?
Didn't really pay attention to annoying ghost thing so wandered to left and apparenlty chose the colour blue: What is this?
Normandy streaks through space landing on the tropical planet Joker and Kaidan (who should be dead) pop out all happy and unharmed: ...what
Credits roll: What, what did I do wrong! Escape escape.!
Do you want to exit credits?: Yes, Yes! undo it!
Congratulations you are now a legend!: But I don't wanna be a legend!
Old man and kid blabbing about how Shepard is a legend: ...
Shepard pops up alive on the Normandy, continue building your legend by buying more things: WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON?!
Replay last mission find out there is no way out: Turn off PS3 without saving.
