When i first got my 360 Mass Effect came with it, i attempted to play it a few times and got bored of it,i was in the whole "COD 4" phase, but then one day i sat my ass down got past the first level, saw the utterly EPIC world of the Citadel, the story, the visuals, the absolute perfectionism of the voice acting and everything else got me attatched to the game. When i got a hold of the Normandy and i had finnaly created my perfect Shepard that didn´t look like an Ass then i was so happy, i think the last time i checked my save game on ME1 it was on about 32 hours.
Then Came The Grandaddy of...Mass effect 2. I´ll never forget the sheer epicness of getting this game the night before it came out, i was just back from a 3D screening of Avatar and i came home and watched some South Park and my brother said he was away out to go get some milk from the shop and he came back and told me to go get a beer from the fridge, i opened it up and saw my Mass Effect 2 copy sitting there, the feeling was great, unrapping that selophane cover was amaizing.
I Played through Mass Effect 2 about rougly 6 or 7 times to date, ive got every single achievement for the game (DLC included) I loved the Dark side of Mass Effect 2, the normandy getting blamod at the start was amaizing. Seeing Garrus back as a badass was truly BadAss!
The ending for me was just truly "Edge of your seat" for me, i spent ages getting every possible upgrade, every loyalty for my ship and crew, and when i saw Miranda and Garrus laying on the ground after defeating the Human Reaper and they weren´t moving i was litterly like "COME ON!!" "GET UP""!!. and when i told the Illusive man to go f**k himself and blew up the collector base and barely escaping that HUGE explosion, i was littelrly in awe´
The sheer amount of detail and passion in this series makes me marvel at the true quality that gaming has come from since the days of "Monkey Island" or "DOOM".
Never Before have i felt so emotionally attatched to my character or characters found in any video game EVER!
Im trying not to sound like a complete gaming geek or fanboy, i have a girlfriend, a job, and im still doing my Highers in school, but those games were really really amaizing.
