I started to play ME in late 2009, after a long waiting to install it, i dont know what i waited for. First, i was confused with start of ME, but then it just pulled me into the game, and i couldnt resist. My first ME playthru was horrible, so i did it again and again. I fell in love with ME. I started to read books, played both DLC and saw comics. Then ME2 came out. First, i was again confused, because it was not too much about the reapers or geth, but mainly about mercs and finding team for collectors takedown. Again, first ending was horrible, almost entire team died. So i did it again, and again and again. Till it satisfied me with No one left behind, and a LI that i wanted. I was waiting for ME3 like a little girl for a pony
When i got it, i was satisfied at first - 32H of ME standard epicness, although, there were some mistakes etc. I wont talk about last 30 minutes of ME3, i just say that i am into conspiration theories, i am also a big fan of IT. Last 30 minutes are not in my canon of ME3. When i finished the game...this one represents my feelings:http://1.bp.blogspot...omic-ending.png
I was frustrated, sad, angry, i dont know how to describe the feeling. I was thinking about it for a week and couldnt stop. But not that i wanted to say.
I wanted to point out, that ME was always a huge emotional journey for me. I invested part of myself in every walthrough, every shepard of mine. Especially, in hyper - moving scenes like endings of ME1 (...take that monster down, no matter what the cost...), Last scene of Overlord DLC, Endings of ME2 (Jack Wall is god of space music, together with Sam...Mansell was a level down in ME3 compared to them), And finally ME3 - Grunts (almost) death, Mordins death, Thane´s death, Samara with her daugher, Garrus reunion. Well written characters, like TIM, Aria (hell of a woman), Samara, Anderson. Also shady ones like Kai Leng, Harbinger or reapers at all...it was hell of a stuff. Sometimes it made me cry tears, like a god damn epic movie (Green Mile for example).
The entire ME universe was pure epicness from the scratch...not because i love scifi, not because shooting or what ever in it, but because STORY and ATMOSPHERE of EVERY.SINGLE.ME.THING. Mass Effect is a Masterpiece to me, and it always was. Why? Answer is simple - Its MY story. I put myself in it.
Like i said, i am still sad of ME3 endings, i always thought of something better for my Shepard. And i am very curious person, so i wanted to hear everything about the reapers and old races. The ending was like someone pull your brain and throw it against the wall. The wounds from the endings are just still bleeding , as of myself...
In the end, i played 14x ME, 8x ME2. When i count it out, with books and comics, i spent about a month of pure time dedicated to Mass Effect series. (counting also ME3). I never regret this times, even with that i had some very sad moments within it.
ME worked its way to be part of my life. When i state it like in this thread IRL, i just get responses like: Get real, do not read bull****, u are weird etc... They dont understand, because they dont know the story...With this post, i just wanted to express my feelings and thoughts for ME series. I would be grateful for any response :innocent:
