I guess being on the Fediverse it’s more inviting to share random thoughts.

I started playing NES around the early 90s, then through PC gaming and PS1 before stopping for university. I had a brief stint with Xbox and PSP but never really gamed for the last fifteen years. Anyways, now as a father and with a purchase of a Steamdeck I tried out ME Legendary.

Just finished ME2.

I really enjoyed my time so far. I had played Knights of the Old Republic but ME2 seemed like the evolution of that game—better characters, cinematic plot, really interesting gameplay.

Anyways this is just a note that I enjoyed learning about the magic of this game and why it was such a fuss some 10+ years ago. I never experienced it the first time but there is a tinge of nostalgia with being re-exposed to games that might have formed my childhood.

I’ve heard the criticism of ME3 but I guess there is a better experience now with the DLC ending.

    The citidel DLC does not replace the ending. Well, not officially there is a mod that will do that.

    I would advise not starting the Citidel DLC until after Priority:Thesia. That way you will have the most fun.

    The ending DLC does expand the ME3 ending a bit. I played the original ending and can understand its criticisms, but the expanded ending is a bit better.

    Either way, don’t let other people’s cries about the last 10 minutes of the game put you off from the incredible experience that is Mass Effect 3.

    I wish I could play the trilogy for the first time again. ME2 is something special, and ME3 with all DLC is a beautiful cinematic capstone to the entire experience.
