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.

    I really enjoy the classic Bioware games (KOTOR, Jade Empire¹, Mass Effect, Dragon Age: Origins, and Mass Effect 2) and I wish more studios took the Bioware formula, where you visit a few distinct semi-open locations with a bunch of interesting followers, and made games using it. I guess Spiders (Mars: War Logs, Technomancer, Greedfall) are kinda close, but their games are still missing something.

    ¹I haven’t played it yet.
