Why stop with just one drink?Misformac wrote...
Well, I turned on ME3 today. I admittedly played it safe and stayed in the shallow end of the pool i.e. played a couple missions leading up to Sur'Kesh. How did I feel? Indifferent. I felt like I was just going through the motions.
What really stuck out for me, this time around, was the amount of auto dialogue. I don't find it to be as engaging in ME3 as it was in the other two games, and I definitely didn't feel in control a good portion of the time. Anyway, turned it off and now signing out.
Might have a drink before going to bed tonight.
Turn it On/Turn it Off for Bioware AFTER ACTION REPORTS: How did it feel to Play again?

'Tis done. Twittered everyone I could think of to Twitter, logging out of Origin/ME3 and not going to BSN for about 31 hours. Good luck all!

I imported a character from ME2 and played all the way through until I got to the galaxy map for the first time and went on the N7: cerberus lab mission, then stopped as soon as it started because I hate that mission. I enjoyed myself and had fun; I kinda forget how much fun vanguards are.

I loaded an earlier save and played through everything on Rannoch. That was my favorite part of the game, so I managed to enjoy some of it... I felt numb after it though, and stopped playing SP. I persevered through a bit, but all the anger, shock, hurt, and disappointment that I experienced came back. I absolutely hate how the shadow of the last 5-10 minutes of this amazing game affect my entire experience as I replay.

Turned on, played, and enjoyed self. Nearing the end of the game. A slow encroaching horror masked by denial approaching. Will proceed carefully to minimize painful regression and PTSD flashbacks. Tomorrow is recovery day.

After action report - I reimported my canon FemShep from ME2 into ME3 (for the third time). I want to say I loved it, and there were parts of it that were fantastic (KAIDAN!
), but there's still that sort of sucking realization that there's no real point because it all ends the same way.
Also noticeable: the insane amount of auto-dialogue. Which makes me a sad panda.

Turned on at midnight PST, Tweeted, went to bed, got up and replayed Priority:Tuchanka. Still very good, but somehow not as amazing as I remember. Autodialogue is starting to grate a bit. Had friends over and had two play my SP on PC while another played the demo on PS3. Watching them play was more fun than playing myself. Finished off with some multiplayer. So, wound up on about 20 hours. Not sure how I feel at this point. Need sleep.
Signing off. Come to holdtheline.com if you need ME goodness Sunday. Otherwise, see you Monday!
Thank you all for your participation! Your willingness to do this is inspiring! Stay strong!

It made me feel bad and I stopped after destroying the Cerberus base. Was even more grueling and depressing the second time through. I'd like to play certain parts again, but not the whole thing, no. Also can't go back to an ME2 playthrough I was working on right now. Just burned out.

Done. Played my 3rd import, Renegade Shepard (who I've nurtured since ME 1) until arriving at the Citadel for the first time in the ME 3. Now, I've shut down ME3 and Origin and won't touch either for the duration of the Turn it On/Turn it Off protest.
Pleased to say, single player is still enjoyable... well... 99% of it.

Replayed the Eden Prime mission from the 'From the Ashes DLC'. I can't help but think that the level is circular enough that, with a few tweaks, it would be a pretty good for multi-player. I maintain though that focus on multi-player was effort that could have been better spent on single player.
I also caught Javik's reference to the 'Metacon War', as foreshadowing for ME3's weak ending I presume. It's pretty sad when a day-one-DLC was needed for this purpose.
On the other hand, it gives me hope that a single DLC mission, dealing with dropped Dark Energy plot for example, can actually significantly improve the ending as I proposed on both BioWare's suggestion thread and again in this blog entry: http://social.biowar...88/blog/212578/
At this point though, I'd be satisfied with only one ending and some cinematics detailing the effects of your decisions and impact of your EMS right after Anderson's death on the citadel.

I replayed Chronos Station and Liara came up to my cabin. We had that little chat about living out there, lost in the confines of the galaxy, for the rest of our lives and then...
"I have to take care of something."
"Alone?"
Poor Liara

I turned on my new game+. Set the difficulty to Narrative because I just wanted to blitz the fighting and get to the narrative.
I've only got five achievements to go: Veteran, Bruiser, Defender, Overload Specialist and Hijacker. I couldn't bring myself to get them, there just didn't seem any point to it.
At least I got the Kasumi mission I missed first time around.
I heard this gem from Garrus: "Just followed your example, Shepard. Yell loud enough, and someone will eventually come over to see what all the fuss is about."
I want to go on, I really do. I enjoyed Tuchanka and Rannoch so much and they are just around the corner.
But I can't.

You jerk! I'm guessing this was done as a joke though, just for the heck of it. Still... meany face. <_<
I've seen the video of doing that on youtube, and its just plain sad the way she reacts. I couldn't imagine anyone realistically turning her down, especially since she is your LI.

Well, everytbody, it's time to log off (in less than 10 minutes)
Been playing this boring game for 22-23 hours now (well, I slept but with game online, same goes for my iPhone).
ME3 is way to repetitve, annoying and all in all, a really really boring game actually (ihmo)
Oh well, I did what I promised andI'll log off and
Remember to log off from your iPhone/iPad, too
Shinobu, this was a great idea <3 I wish you all the very best of luck!!!

I started up a third playthrough of my main shep. Got to Citadel. Too depressed thinking of how NOTHING I DO MATTERS. Shut it off. Sighed. Cried. Contemplated suicide. (these last three rhymed.) "I tried so hard, and got so far...but in the end, it doesn't even matter. I had to fall, to lose it all...but in the end, it doesn't even matter..." Relays go boom. Everyone trapped in Sol system. Fight for food and space. Kill each other. Starve. No way home. WTG SHEP! YOU SAVED THE DAY! Now reapers won't kill us. We'll kill each other or hunger will. NICE. Much more pleasant. None of my choices matter. None. No more space travel in our space travel-centric story. Can't. Play. This. Star Wars without space travel: sucks. Star Trek without space travel: sucks. Mass Effect without space travel: sucks. Does Anakin doom the galaxy? Does Captain Kirk? Nope. Only Shepard. Done rant. Not hear to argue. Was just asked to say how I feel. I feel like I don't want to play this anymore because it's ruined. Just like most young' girls' prom nights. Repressed memory. Move on with life. Maybe move in front of train or off bridge. Maybe become angry drunk and beat my wife and kids. Since nothing matters in the end.

Imported ME2 save.
Just couldn't play for more than a few hours. It all seemed so pointless. Started noticing other flaws in the game though, auto dialogue being one of the more grating.
Oh well

Seeing Legion sacrifice himself again reminded me of the most powerful scenes in ME3.
That was bittersweet, but the ending is just 101% @#%*ing bitter.

Don't worry I reloaded afterwards and put things right with her. I do like Liara, but that "getting laid before every suicide mission" thread kind of got to me.Makrys wrote...

logged in walked around then logged off and disconnected origin or went offline and played Kingdoms of Amalur.
I know Biopware can end a game right they did it in ME2 and DA:O we had our choices reflected in the end and we had variety from yay we're mostly good except for that pesky OGB to wardens dead and the crew she hung with have crushed souls but Ferelden is safe.
Do it right Bioware, its not like you don't know how.
