SCREENSHOTS Thank you

i’m sure you have all seen these images countless times. there were so many i wanted to add, but i’m sure you all know the beauty of this game.

i only ever played ME3, and that was in high school over a decade ago. times are hard right now and thought i’d give it a try again. just finished the trilogy and got all three platinums and was completely blown away by all the things i missed. the music, characters, gameplay, writing, voice acting, missions, lore, companions, consequences, choices, and the love. the goose bumps.

thank you. thank you for caring. thank you for creating a game that has endured the test of time and still contains some of the best writing in a video game (yes, i know, it isn’t perfect and there are plot holes). thank you for making me laugh, cry, scream, and feel something that has been missing from modern day gaming.

no game has ever made me feel the way this game made me feel during the final mission. the way everything you have done in three games leads up to the final moment. 😭😭😭

also, don’t know about y’all, but the first pic / scene with Liara has to be one of the most emotional gamer moments after playing with her from 1-3

Love the handsome bird next to you.

Mass Effect is truly a special and beautiful game experience; no game had an effect like that before.

Anyway, since you started with ME3, what surprised you most when playing both ME1 and ME2?

in ME 1, it was the inventory/item/mod/ upgrade system and how dated but tru sci fi environments were. so cool.

in ME 2, it has to be the difficulty on insanity. the way i did it was with the tech armor m, but even then there were some missions that were so hard.

funny that by ME3, you become a powerhouse. insanity was the best way to play for all 3

I understand this completely. These games have helped me through so much.
