Since the release I've been playing the game non stop, and after 40 hours of playing it I beat it last night.
Now I'm like... lost. I feel so pointless, lol, like there's no more life outisde of Mass Effect o.O

Seriously I don't know what to do. Even replaying it seems pointless (though I probably will for the other alternate endings and stuff). But like, it's just a game, but it moved me so much that I can't stop thinking about it. At this moment I have pretty much absolutely no interest in anything else, yet going back and playing it over again is also scary to me since the ME2 story is over, and well, that's it.

The thought of ME3 cheers me up a bit, that it's not really over yet, but at this point I'm a little stunned. Not sure what to do. Anyone has this too? I guess it'll be over in a day or two? I think I've had this after I beat Assassin's Creed 2, but I don't think it was to this extent.

Hell, I don't know what will happen when Mass Effect 3 is over (same with Assassin's Creed 3, I'm a big fan of that too).

Same here, the story drew me in so far I'm going to have a hard time clawing my way back to reality.

That's pretty much why i've been hanging around on the forums so much. Beat ME2 2 times and in middle of 3rd playthrough but decided to take a break from the game. Though I can't just stop thinking about the story and characters at the moment.

I hope they release DLC that adds more story to the post-game. ME3 seems too far away right now.

I cant wait to finish it an play it again and do the opposite choices next time around. Im already looking forward to re-creating Shepard and going through the tutorial with Miranda again...good times.

[packardbell]

Right, back to thinking I'm Shepard in my dreams.



lol

Happens with all very good games.

I'm going to take a small break and then ensure that my new playthrough experience is completely different by importing my femShep.

you have to wait for the me3, when you finish playing me3, felling will just fade away. knowing that it ended, you will return back to normal life, until then you are stuck in the universo of mass effect.

Yeah, that's a simple way of saying it.

I don't know, DLC won't really add to the story or anything else. It'll be just something like Bring Down the Sky...

I know a lot of people are complaining about all the RPG stuff. Yeah they need to put the character development and the feel of being part of the universe back in. But ME2 is still enough to stun me like this, literary taking me out of reality.

Replaying a game feels wrong too, as I said earlier. Doesn't really solve it for me... I think. I mean I already know everything, but like... I don't know, it just doesn't feel as natural anymore. I only want to replay to see the renegade path and make opposite of each choice I've done earlier, and I want to get the bad everyone dies ending. But that isn't going to help my mind back where it belongs...

I know what you're thinking about replaying - been through that with a lot of games myself, and you describe that feeling very accurately. But it's actually more interesting than you think. Even replaying as a different gender, for example. I suggest a good night's sleep, and starting anew in the morning - it'll feel much better (that's what worked for me on several occasions).

I have no idea how anyone can actually play this game so quickly. It just came out! I can't even figure out how the circuit puzzles work yet.

Well last night was actually this morning. I beat it at about 2 AM, then went to sleep and now here I am.
Maybe it'll take another day. This is the reason why I don't dare closing the forums right now, the presence of ME energy on these forums keeps me going basically. But I have to try to get my school homework done though... even if it's not much.

Any powerfully immersive experience has this effect. I've had it happen with good books from time to time. Best thing to do is take a break, do some easy chores around the house until your head clears, and visit the forums or talk with friends about it so the good bits of the experience carry on through interaction.

[Litos456]

Yeah. As I said, I've noticed this with Assassin's Creed 2, and I even think a book (Ender's Game) got me going like that too.

I don't remember earlier stuff, but games like the old PoP trilogy might have too. Don't remember.

Sigh, it's a terrible feeling right now. I wish games could use virtual reality technology... except then there's no purpose of getting out of it at all, really. Lol.
