Alright so after seeing some of ya'll spooge over ME and reading about ME3 in this months Game Informer mag I decided to give it a legitimate look. Going to start from the beggining. Any advice?

Loved ME. Bought ME2 and played about 1/4 of it and it was ok.

Meh...it is probably the most overhyped 360 game out there. It is good, but not anywhere near as good as people make it out to be, and it has a TON of flaws that people just gloss over.

Anti, give it time. ME1 starts slow, but gets epic. In no way "overhyped." ME2 is really good too, but I think they over simplified the inventory system to make it more accessible. You should have an awesome time once you get up and running on ME1.

I will. Im very impatient though.Im a quick satisfaction type of guy. Its why I enjoy COD as much. But im going to give it a honest look. Sheppard looks to be a good lead.
BTW LOVE THE MEATLOAF QUOTE.

Agree 100%. Biotics suck in ME 1

Or any biotic class. THe biotics in ME2 are the most fun.

Man, you know how it is. Military Intelligence School, then Oil Spill Duty, then new job at NASA, so move to Houston, buy a house, and wife and kid duties, I've been busy. lol

I'll be in DC for two weeks at the end of April, and then San Fran for a week in May, and then AT for the guard for two weeks in July and a new baby in that month too.

That being said, I don't find BLOPS all that fun, and have been playing a lot of quick pick up XBLA games like Torchlight, Super Meat Boy, and Castle Crashers, among others.

Better believe I'll be back for BF3 though.

Theres a lot of blah blah talk scenes but are skippable. the shootouts are fun. up the difficulty for a real challenge. shite can get intense... no joke. a good story too. it isnt too rpgish.... more elements of a 3rd person shooter really... but diff classes can all do different special abilities... so that keeps it fresh. after a while... you will be completely immsersed in the vast universe.... or hate the game completely

And when you have the chance, choose Ashley, not Kaiden. You'll know what I mean when you get to that point. Don't do what I did and get stuck with that butt plug of a douche for two whole games.

It was accidental. Wife was talking to me during the scene, and I had no idea what the true implications were.
