I cant believe, Im about to say this.
Especially after expressing my hatred for Origin ... the fact it would never be on my PC again, being totally against the day 1 DLC , the Demo feeling odd to me etc. but ......
Installing now.
I can understand that. I kind of feel the same way. I'm certainly not going to buy it, but that doesn't mean I can't play it; the only reason I AM deciding to play it is... well, despite it all, I just want it to END!
To be brutally honest, I'd rather play a bad game with a (used to be) good storyline and just end the "cycle" (like I kept playing the Assassins' Creed franchise after AS2) than to just sit and helplessly wait for years, not playing a (subjectively) good franchise at all... like Half Life! (DO YOU HEAR THAT, VALVE???!!!)
That's the same reason I played Dragon Age 2, and will probably play Dragon Age 3 (if Bioware lives long enough to actually make it). But I stated from the start and will state it again, as many times as I need/want to, the game WILL suck (I am actually referring to both ME3 and DA3).
By ending "the Mass Effect cycle" I will (hopefully) be one step closer to getting the Bioware+EA combo out of my life for good.
... on another note, I just remembered that since my last HDD crash, I have lost all the previous ME saved games. Not that it'll make much difference if I had them, anyway... Still, it makes me wish to go through the ME1 and 2 again...
