I really like pic related, anybody want to talk about it?

I dont remember desu but I mostly start on hard. It felt sluggish kinda

the classes kinda play differently in 1 at least. Soldier is basically just generic third person shooter with some tank skills, adept lets you fling enemies around constantly, even out of the map if you want, engineer lets you stun enemies or hack robots. It probably sounds pretty shit from how I'm explaining it, but the different skills and stuff can be pretty fun.

I liked the first one, disliked the second, never player the third and got bored with Andromeda pretty fast. I'll probably get Legendary from humble choice, cause the current one is decent. Kinda interested in giving it another chance.

One of the planets has an unmarked location where you can find a log of a team that was observing early mankind.
I think it’s linked to the consort, but I can’t recall the details off the top of my head

>Examining the strange Prothean artifact reveals a small, irregular slot on the underside of the surface. Remembering the strange trinket you received from the asari Consort on the Citadel, you pull it out and place it into the slot. The ball explodes in a brilliant flash of white light, momentarily blinding and disorienting you.

***
Slowly your senses return as you wake from a deep sleep. You are alone in the forest, though you are not far from the caves you share with the others of your tribe. There is a pain and a small lump in the back of your skull, as if a chip of flint has been forced under the surface of the skin.

Leaning on your bone-tipped spear for support, you rise to your feet. A sound draws your attention upwards, where a strange creature hovers high above you. It is unlike the birds you hunt by the lake's edge - it has no head and no wings yet somehow it flies. It is a beast of shining silver; hanging motionless in the sky like a cloud. You sense it is watching you, studying you.

Raising a hairy fist, you shake your spear at it in anger and the creature rises up quickly until it disappears from view. With a satisfied grunt you make your way back to your caves and the rest of the tribe.

You fall into the familiar patterns of life - the hunt for food, the struggle to claim and keep a mate, the battles against other tribes that would claim your territory. Days roll into nights and back into days. Each time you rise from sleep there is the sensation that you are not alone; that some "other" is with you sharing all you see, hear and feel. At these times your hand goes to the strange lump at the back of your skull and you remember the silver creature in the sky.

the second on it's own is a nice game but it really crippled the trilogy by doing it's own thing. which is why i hate it too.
you can play 1 and skip to 3 and you won't miss anything other than squad members' cameos.

The air grows colder, winter falls. You must range farther for food, clutching the furs tight against you to ward off the chill. It is on one of these long hunts that the strange bird returns. You hear it before you see it, its call a deafening roar as it descends from above, swooping down on you. A single great eye opens on the underbelly, a glowing red orb. You try to run, but a finger of red light extends from the eye and engulfs you, and all goes black again.

You wake an instant later to find yourself on Eletania lying on your back, the Prothean artifact looming above you undamaged and your companions standing over you. They help you to your feet, puzzled. "There was a flash of light and you just sort of toppled over," one explains. "Are you okay, Shepard?" the other asks.

You don't answer right away, wondering at the implications of what you have seen: the memories of a Cro-Magnon hunter, captured by an implanted Prothean data recorder. How long did they study the primitive humans, observing them and analyzing the results at their base on Mars? And what, if anything, did they learn from us?

"I'm fine," you finally reply, realizing this is a mystery you will probably never solve. "Forget about it."

I still haven't played Mass Effect 3 despite beating 1 and 2 a decade ago. Should I?

I hate the second one, but I'm currently trying to play through it to get to 3 for the first time.

The characters are good but the plot fuckin sucks.

Thanks. I remember now. Shame there wasn't more to make exploration a fun experience

I think it's worth it. For all the shit ME3 (deservingly) got back in the day, it's really aged into a decent wrap up to a very flawed, very immersive trilogy.

>the second on it's own is a nice game but it really crippled the trilogy by doing it's own thing. which is why i hate it too.
My biggest complain is the forced collaboration with Cerberus. My Survivor Shep would just murder Miranda and Jacob on the spot.

I have wondered about you
Where will you be
When this is through?

If all, if all goes as planned
Will you redeem
My life again?
My life again

yeah, recently did a 100% playthrough of 1 and about 60 hours of that was just driving around boring ass planets in the mako.
Unrelated, but does anyone know how to disable pic related? Only just started happening in the past few hours.

Its actually pretty good for todays standarts. Also dlc fixes many of its flaws

that's the thing, they force the player into this weird suicide mission plot and the major time skip that doesn't seem to affect the bigger picture since the reapers will arrive anyways

if you got a car, try to drive late at night with this song blasted at full volume.

I was playing the remaster and was disappointed when I got to noveria, they totally killed the atmosphere at least for when you first get there
