Honestly hope some devs still read the forums to see threads like this.

Most people can't move on, and they refuse to see that Bioware does care and work hard for us. I hope they see it too, they deserve a 'thank you' once and a while...

[-TC1989-]

Agreed, thank you Bioware. I can't honestly think of another game that had me so emotionally invested in it. Just keep in mind, endings are a pretty big deal...

Whoever said the adventure has to stop here?!

In 1998 I received a Nintendo 64 and a copy of The Legend of Zelda: the Ocarina of Time for Christmas. It was the first three-dimensional game I had ever played. I was eleven years old.

I remember one day my friend mentioning that he was stuck in Goron City, not knowing how to open the door to Darunia's chambers. Thankfully I had also received the strategy guide for the game, so I was able to help. More kids were having trouble with similar issues (it was a really big game at the time) and had to seek help from other kids in between classes (and let's not kid ourselves, sometimes during classes). It felt like every kid at my school was plying Ocarina of Time that winter.

For close to to fifteen years I would always list Ocarina of Time as my favorite game. I played World of Warcraft for seven years, and met some good friends that I still talk to today while doing so. I embarrassingly got a 1.68 GPA for my first year at my university because I let WoW take precedence over school work (don't worry, I turned that around). But if you asked me what my favorite game of all time was, I would definitely respond with "Ocarina of Time." It seemed like a foregone conclusion. It was the obvious answer. Eleven out of every ten gamers will list Ocarina of Time as their favorite game. That's just math.

I was a bad WoW fan, though. I would constantly complain about pretty much everything while playing. I would hold it up next to the first MMO I ever played, Shadowbane, and just trash it. I loved Shadowbane. I would log into Shadowbane and just sit in my city and chat with my guild, because it was my city and my guild. I remember my heart pumping during sieges, trying to sneak around the battlefield and kill an enemy healer before I died (to be fair, I was an Assassin). I remember when my guild lost our city and I remember when we took it back. Whenever I discuss MMO design, I always reference Shadowbane. But even at the height of my Shadowbane reign, what was my favorite game of all time? The Ocarina of Time.

I bring all this up because just a couple of days ago, some time in the middle of playing the Citadel DLC, I happened to decide that Ocarina of Time was no longer my favorite game. I don't remember when and I didn't really acknowledge it when it happened, but it definitely happened. I almost don't want to believe it, because I've been saying "Ocarina of Time" for so long, but I know that it's true because I can't really explain in words why.

It was the same way for Ocarina of Time. Sure, I could mention something about the story, the atmosphere, the characters, or the gameplay, but that doesn't really cut it. It won't actually be the real reason, it will just be words.  The truth is that there's just this big amalgamation of memories and emotions that come together and make you feel a certain way about something. Ocarina of Time is obviously still an amazing game, but Mass Effect has affected me as an adult the way Ocarina of Time did as a child, which is a thousand times more difficult.

For me, "Vigil" is the new "Zelda's Lullaby."

I remember when I first started playing these games. I had gone into Gamestop just looking for something to play. I didn't know what I wanted at the time just something new. That's when I stumbled across the first Mass Effect. I didn't really give it much more thought at the time other than it looked interesting and new. I had never even heard of Bioware at the time, didn't know anything about their previous games. I know, crazy right?

So I went home and started playing it and got immediately hooked. The story and characters drew me in like nothing before. It was maybe a year after that when ME2 came out. When I heard about it I couldn't wait. Bought it the day it came out. The feeling when you see the new Normandy, seeing Tali for the first time, rescuing Archangel and finding out he was Garrus, helping Tali defeat a treason charge and finding out she likes your character. It was all incredible. I couldn't wait till the third game came out.

When I finally got to play the third game, everything came full circle. So many incredible moments throughout the game from the Thresher Maw, fighting a reaper on foot, continuing romances with someone you have comes to care for despite the fact they are fictional and continuing friendships with others you've come to like. I'll admit, upon finishing the game I felt somewhat distraught. The EC helped immensely though, filling in plot holes. I enjoyed the other DLCs as well and Citadel was in my opinion the best of them all. It centered on possibly my favorite aspect of the game, the characters.

In closing I would like to say this. Bioware had to put a lot of care and incredible talent into this game in order to elicit the type of care that people can feel towards their characters. I think part of what made me distraught with the end was the fact that it was done. The characters would not be coming back for another game and it felt like they did not get the endings they deserved. If it was any other game though, it wouldn't have really mattered but in this game the love for the characters is so strong that it just felt bad. I eventually got over it and the Citadel has given them at least in part the ending they deserved. I think this is a testament to their talent in all parts, the acting, writing and development is responsible for making these characters as loveable as they are. So thank you Bioware. Thankyou for giving us an amazing journey over the past several years. I look forward to whatever it is that you have planned next.

My story is actually very similar to yours. I was in Gamestop, and i wanted a game, but didn't know which. I have always loved the idea of humans and aliens being friendly with eachother (unlike the newer movies today were aliens are always the bad guys) so i picked ME1 up, and here i am today. I am thankful for this experiance bioware gave me.

 Thank, you, Bioware, for this incredible series. You guys have truly set the bar for great story telling and gameplay in video games. I look forward to whatever you guys have in mind for the Mass Effect universe.

 I was thinking, before i read this thread, about making a complaint thread. After i saw this, i realized that its over, i realised that more than half of my hate for the ending was because it was a ending, Mass effect and Shepard have affected my life so much, i dont want to see it go away. Damnit why did it have to end?
I will now have to replay, several times. i will do everything i ever wanted to, i will now have to say goodbye to shepard and garrus and everybody.
Thank you bioware for a life changing experience.

I may have arrived quite late to the party but this trilogy quickly stole my heart.

[tobynator89]

I've loved every bioware game I've ever played. This is by far my favorite of the lot though.

Know that you've given me more joy than any other game company out there.

I am glad man. If more people were like you and focused on the many positives that the game brings, we would all be much happier right now, instead of focusing on the negatives, that was fixed by bioware. (Even though most people aren't happy with the EC, the fact that they took the effort to do it makes me feel better at least....)

[PrinceLionheart]

Eh, thank you for most of Mass Effect.
