I recently picked up Mass Effect 3. I never intended to buy it as I had heard bad things about it, particularly the ending, but I've enjoyed what I've played so far. Perhaps keeping my expectations so low has helped!
I don't think it'll top the experience of the original Mass Effect however. ME gave me such a strange feeling of isolation and insignificance as a human being in the vast universe. Perhaps this was due to it being an unknown and new franchise, or simply the grainy-filter effect that the game had, but something about this game gave me a very strange feeling, which actually enhanced my enjoyment of the game. I feel that ME2 and ME3, whilst being fun to play, don't have that same atmosphere or mood that the first one offered.

Mass Effect 1 really felt like a space exploration RPG that happened to have fighting along the way. The whole atmosphere felt more "happy" than the later installments, especially ME3 which is really grimdark and completely combat-focused. Basically, it was originally like Star Trek and morphed into Call of Duty in space. I'm thinking the first thing EA asks with a new game is "how can we make this more like CoD?" The funny thing is, the combat in Mass Effect 2 is arguably better than 3. There are way too many bullet sponges in 3, and no more heavy weapons. |

That's why I still have a fondness for The Precursors -- it captured that feeling of actually exploring new worlds, even if most of them had humans on, that I think the later combat-heavy Mass Effects lacked. Even though it was buggy and sometimes broken, and much like Mass Effect most of the planets you could travel to didn't have anything on them, I think it worked well enough...

I find it hard to go back to plain shooter after mass effect, I always expect a bit of talking and choice and a bit of lame character stuff for whatever reason that isn't necessarily good. It has done more to change shooter than rpg. I want to get rid of the stat in me2 so much.

Borderlands 2. Does anyone else find it nigh impossible to tell who's killing what in CO-OP? Overall I don't think I like it very much, sending it back to Gamefly soon.

I played Borderlands 2 a ridiculous amount, Co-op is certainly the only way you should be playing the game. I don't think it's hard to tell who's killing stuff, but it doesn't really matter considering you're focusing on one enemy yourself. If you don't like the plot/setting though, the gameplay won't do much for you, but I certainly liked it a heck of a lot. |

I just cleared Touhou 6 without continues on Normal.  Had previously 1cc'd 7,8,10,12. I bet I could try some on Hard now, maybe give the extra stages a proper shot... |

@Sundownkid: I totally see the appeal, I'm probably just having a bad time because my co-op pal is playing it begrudgingly and we're on the ps3 (which from I hear, is the inferior version).

I have no fun playing FPS with a controller, I always buy my FPS or TPS on the PC, so I can't comment on that. I always played co-op with online buddies and/or strangers, and never had any problems with it. |
