Before I started writing this, I really had to stop for a second and ask myself, "Is it Tuesday or Wednesday?" Sometimes I still get a bit confused on the day of the week due to my work schedule but, thanks to the little time and date thingy in the bottom right corner of my computer screen, I can confirm that today is, in fact, Tuesday.
So, Mass Effect 2 comes out today. I have a Gamestop gift card I got for Christmas that I've been holding onto for this game, so I'm looking forward to it. The first Mass Efffect game definitely had it's share of technical problems. One in particular is the now infamous elevator sequences which were really just long loading screens. And I do mean long loading screens. I also encountered a little bug (or is it a glitch?) while I was playing Mass Effect 1. I agreed to get some information for a news reporter and I went to the location where I was supposed to meet her but, for some reason, she was nowhere to be found ever again. That really irritated me.
Aside from the reasons I've given, I'm sure there are more people that had worse issues. But these issues did not hurt the quality of the game, in my opinion, for one reason: the story. The story in Mass Effect was very good and the voice acting was top notch.
I liked the story so much that I have to make a real nerd admission: I read the first Mass Effect novel and I'm currently reading the second one on my Kindle (which probaby makes me even more of a nerd!).
So, yes, I am looking forward to playing Mass Effect 2. I've seen a couple of reviews that I refused to read to avoid spoilers. But the reviews I've glanced at are very positive.
Well, maybe I'll do some sort of mini-review for posterity. Eventually.
