Mass Effect 3 was released 14 years ago today. What I remember most is an intense, desperate war for the survival of the galaxy. With my first baby son in my arms πŸ˜…

Because all advertising & hype up was for the ending, the head of the studio saying there would not be defined by a final choice. People still go on about it because these days that factor is rarely acknowledge & folk act like it was because no happy ending. Regardless had great emotional scenes

I was fine with the ending. Because I chose CORRECTLY. :D Seriously, I don't get people. It was fine. People get far too precious about these things.

So here i' am. ME 3's ending is better then the first two's because narrative driven. You dont shoot a reaper larva with your pistol and why did Sovereign keel over after you broke his favourite doll?! No, your descisions make the ending.

While I will defend the extended Cut (if it would have been the initial release nobody would have complained, I'm sure) I must say I completely get while Sovereign keeled over and what they made out of it for the ME2. πŸ˜‰ But in general I'm very grateful that S8 of GoT took over the "Worst Ending".

Didn't think it was that bad when I played it. But it already had the extended cut. That said, the AI organic thing felt a bid odd after managing to broke peace between Quarians and Geth. But, in general, I think it's an OK ending. At leats we didn't get Galactica's nonsensical ending.

It was one of the first games I played as a dad, but in reality, it was the last game I played like in my twenties, as if I was still free with no responsibilities. With this game, I understood that I had to make choices and prioritize for... the next fifteen years. πŸ˜‚

While the world was arguing about the ending of Mass Effect 3, I had to accept cutting back on one of my all-time favorite activities. 🫑 But it was worth it, considering all the co-op games I've played with my kids since then. I should show them Mass Effect (remastered)πŸ’‘

Jordan really wants me to play the game again. I have no time, Jordan. Besides, I already have an unobtonium number of games to finish.😎

When I first became a dad (kids are 1yo and 3yo now), people joked that I’d get my life back β€œin 15 years”, and I was like, there is nooo way it’s that long I love it, love every day, love my kids, love my wife, but yeah, that 15 years number is probably spot on lol

That’s what I hear. Even our 3 year old is pretty independent already! It goes too fast doesn’t it? Breaks your heart and makes you so proud of them at the same time.

Playing right now (Citadel DLC) for the X time. Imho the genophage plot is the only part that works properly (Geth vs Quarians too, but less). Decreasing the Reapers mystery (something out of our comprehension) in the Terminator/Geth problem was lazy has hell. The Trilogy deserves an intense remake!

It's kinda bittersweet - I learned in the following days how much my friends were there for me- as Shepard did. One day I'll finish the game, and finally move past those days. And I'll keep the connections that got me through those hard days.
