Mass Effect 3

I bought Mass Effect 3 the day it came out back at the beginning of March but when I played it I couldn’t get into it. I think I have this weird thing where when I buy a game (rather than rent it) I feel I shouldn’t complete it to quickly because it will somehow have been a waste of money. Don’t ask why my brain processes purchases of games this way but it does. I’ll blast through a rental in a couple days no bother but I feel like if I spent $60 on a game I should get a few months out of it? What’s just stupid is that it’s not that I’ll play it slowly, I’ll just wait a couple weeks/months and then blast through it. It makes no sense at all.

Anyway I’m thoroughly enjoying ME3 and I think I’m heading towards a conclusion now. What I find fun is seeing how my game variates from Tim’s. We both chose to save the Geth (cos we’re nice people) but in my game the Geth went on to destroy the Quarians while in Tim’s they did not. That’s obviously based on some earlier decision we both made differently but I think it’s brilliant that there is such variation in the game. I can go back and make different choices and have different things happen. You certainly can’t do that with a book.

I forgot how epic the opening of Mass Effect 2 is, I hope Mass Effect 3’s opening can live up to it. From what I played in the demo released yesterday it looks like it will. One question tho: where is Joker? Did he die in ME2? I’m playing through it again to find out.

Yes please.
