Yes the production values were sleek and the combat was good, but it just wasn't the RPG experience I was hoping for. I just missed that ME1 feel.

(P.S. - I fucked the shit out of Ash in ME1. I had a black shepard too and he was white -- OF course!!!)


I see what you said.

It's easy to spend 100 hours a week playing video games when you don't have a job.
