         For christmas of 2007, 13 yrs old, I got an xbox with no games but the arcade game bundled with it. I had enough money to buy one game, my first ever next gen game, and since KotOR 1 was my favorite XBOX game, it was a no brainer I would buy Mass Effect 1. As i popped it in, I was welcomed buy immensely engrossing music, which I now know as Vigil's Theme (And IMO Mass Effect theme). The game went beyond expectations. It had flaws, texture popins, bland side mission worlds, but not once did I care about them. The characters were amazing, atmosphere was flawless, and the story and antagonist was haunting. I loved the whole design and style.  The game to this day remains my favorite game this generation. I remember I bought a 120gb drive for my arcade Xbox just to get the BDtS dlc.

    Mass Effect 2 came out and I obviously got it day one, played it whenever I could Tues-Thurs, and that Friday I stood up the whole day to beat it, I finally finished around 8am Saturday, and then passed out. Loved it, not as much as ME1, didn't have the same atmosphere and I just didn't like that Missions Complete screen (Mainly because ME1 was so seemless) but I loved it. Bought every dlc.

    I remember I was so excited for ME3, I signed up for Faceboook just to get the singleplayer/multiplayer two days early. A bit cheesy but I loved it. Wal Mart didn't send my game til a week later so I was on the brink of insanity.  When I finally got it, it was just amazing to me. Just like ME1 I easily ignored all its faults, except for the obvious one.

    Now I'll quickly reference the ending cuz it's not the point of this thread and what I'll say has already been said. I was severely disappointed with the ending, not the concept itself (Two things I knew would happen, Reapers would be revealed, and it'll suck cuz it's almost impossible to deliver a satisfying reveal to a previoudly incomprehensible being) but just the lack of an epilogue. All the reviews said ending was FRIGGIN AMAZING and while I heard there was backlash to the ending, I was led to believe it was just depressing if you didn'y play multi, which I did, and went in for an amazing conclusion, and it was just so short I went into a mini depression that night.

    Now I've bought all the dlc to this game and now that I've beaten Citadel and said my final goodbyes to all the characters, I'm a bit depressed. Definitely bittersweet.

    I'll provide some exposition. I graduated in Dec. (Weird circumstances) but I've never stayed in a school since 2nd grade for more than 2 yrs. and it was normally only at one for a little over a yr, with me even only staying at a certain school for only 3 months. I've lost a lot of friends, I try to keep in contact via calls or txts but eventually they've all grown apart from me. I don't do Facebook. After moving again in October away from the school I was at since 11th grade I was angry and just tested out of my classes and graduated, leaving me in an area out in the country without a car and not knowing a single person here. As extremely lame as this sounds, the ME characters kind of felt like friends to me, only "stable" friends throughout these close to 6 yrs. (GOD I feel unbelievably pathetic writing that), and with this final dlc, we had that party and the scene at the ship with Shep saying "...the best" I was tearing up. Knowing now that these characters I've grown to love these six yrs. will now be officially be gone and never utter a new line ever just breaks me up inside.

Thanks Bioware, each of these games had some problems, and while I might not say ME1/2/3 is my fave game of all time, I can easily say Mass Effect is my favorite series of all time. (Don't expect anyone to read this but just feels goood writing it, and if you did read it, go get yourself a cookie, you earned it)
