I adore how ME3 turns gilbert and sullivan throwaway joke into an integral heartfelt part in Mordin's final moments.
The only thing that kinda sucks is the voice actor change. The new guy does his best but lacks the manic energy of the original performance

I had forgotten (or maybe I never realised) how many missions are against interminable waves of enemies spawning in random positions. Kind of tedious and annoying; those fights have no sense of progress or strategy. Changing position is irrelevant because more dudes will appear behind you, and there's no other objective but to wait until the game decides to stop …

Tinted my armour in honor of the day
I never noticed how lame this Palaven mission is. You go and defend a tower, then you literally waste time defending an airfield and then in a turret section, FFS.

What a fun conclusion to a great series. It was neat seeing how every decision I made in the first and second games affected the story here and the multiple endings were neat as well. My biggest complaint is that the new characters are rather lacking. My overall tier ranking of the series is 2 > 3 > 1, but …

My biggest complaint is that the new characters are rather lacking. My overall tier ranking of the series is 2 > 3 > 1, but I think they are all equally great, which is not usually the case in a trilogy.

And once again I find myself at the end of the trilogy. ME3 is a fitting end to chapter one of one of my favourites series, a chance for a heartfelt and emotional send off for the crew of the Normandy.

God I love the Citadel DLC to death. The one thing I wish is that
Special mention to the Omega DLC, which also holds a special place in my heart. I do wish they didn’t

Getting there. I did forget that despite hitting 100%, the galactic status progress slowly and continually counts back down to 50% unless you continue to send fleets out on missions. I guess that’s why the game wasn’t already at 100% when I logged in, given everything is linked to my EA account. I really wish EA wouldn’t force external superfluous …

So the N7 HQ website is still up and I can access the galactic readiness screen, so I’m doing it, I’m going for 100%. I can’t stand seeing my readiness at 50%. I know it no longer matters but, damn it, I have to do this!

Just started playing Mass Effect 3 for the first time. It took about 6 attempts to get to the Citadel, as I kept trying new builds, before settling on my transferred character. I just love the little Easter eggs I got in ME2 when I transferred from 1, so looking forward to seeing them in 3.

My parents in law brought home an old keyboard that belonged to my girlfriend as she was a child. I'm now happily re-learning some of the piano skills I've lost by playing a ton of videogame music. SkyRoads, Transistor, and, of course, Mass Effect.

Mass Effect is my favourite game series. I love the universe, I love the characters, I love what it tries to represent.

Mass Effect is my favourite game series. I love the universe, I love the characters, I love what it tries to represent. As I mentioned in my review for Mass Effect 1, the detailed universe of multiple sapient species working together, forming friendships and even loving relationship feels made for me. I also played it at a perfect time for me, emotionally.
But what I'm thinking now is... will there be a better game for me? I know that a game with better gameplay, better story, a more fleshed out world, can and does exist. But at this point I've played through the trilogy about 4 times and I've got memories upon memories associated with it, which only heightens my emotional response to the stories and characters. I have a hard time thinking of any possible game that could stir up more intense feelings than Mass Effect.
Is this it? Have I reached my summit of videogames? I mean, I'm not complaining --Mass Effect is wonderful-- but still, it feels weird thinking that, almost surely, no other game will engage with me as strongly.

The consensus seems to be that Jennifer Hale's voice acting is much better than Mark Meer's. Most of the comments I've read focus on how Hale nails the bad-ass (renegade) Shepard. Maybe.
I always play paragon so I can't judge much. But what I did notice is that Hale's performance really shines in moments of vulnerability. Towards the end, her …

I always play paragon so I can't judge much. But what I did notice is that Hale's performance really shines in moments of vulnerability. Towards the end, her voice almost cracks at times. It embodies Shepard with much more humanity.
