Still on my massive game backlog. I'm mainly trying to finish up Final Fantasy XIII but it's such a long shitpost of a game. I've also wrapped my nostalgic trip through Fallout 3. Occasionally I'll dip into random games for cheevos like the Dead or Alive 6 demo or some classic namco games that were only three dollars.

Pretty soon I'll try and sit down for either Mass Effect 3 to wrap up my Legendary Edition 100% completion or maybe Dark Souls 2 which I've never played before.

In the future I'm hyped as frick for Armored Core and Naruto Ultimate Ninja Storm.

Mass Effect 3 was much better when I replayed it with the Legendary Edition last year. I usually would have replayed it back when all of the dlcs had finished dropping, but the ending had soured my experience with the game so much I never looked at it again. But, it turns out the dlc actually helped a lot to round out the game. Also I subsequently had years of experience in being disappointed by AAA series so the kinda shit end didn't bother me as much this time

Yeah that was always a pinecone in my anus about ME3, yeah it's actually alright with the DLC but people forget there was a version without the dlc, heck I forget often that Javihk isn't in the base game

I've long since come to terms with the ending lol.

Outside of a few other hiccups like the kid in Shepard's dream or Kai Leng being wherever the plot needs him to be, the game's writing is fine or at least the character writing remains fine. The gunplay is still great and I love how Shepard's level carries over from ME2 so I can start the game running and continue the build from there.

The decisions from the previous games ultimately boiling down to numbers and not having any real effects will always bother me. If you kill the Rachni Queen in ME1, and never let Grunt out of his tank in ME2, the mission where you have to deal with the Reapers having a Rachni Queen still plays out the same, you just have a vague personal connection to it.

Edit: but the game still let's me shoot Udina, so it gets 7/10

I'm not mad anymore. It only took a decade and lots of therapy.

Yeah in hindsight I feel like a jackass for ragging on the game so hard. Also I got neurodivergentally into the combat arena in the shoreleave dlc, unironically probably put 40 hrs into that shit
