The "what are you playing" thread

I guess you can beat Mass Effect in 20 hours if you focus ONLY on the main quest and do absolutely nothing else. But there are tons of side missions to do and character backgrounds to explore.
Like STICK said, it focuses much more on the story so don't expect to explore places like you can in Fallout. But the story is really good so that's not a problem. Do the side missions, do the unique character missions, talk to everyone to hear all the dialogue and you'll spend a good amount of time with the series.
And I know you're on PS3 so get the Mass Effect Trilogy which has all 3 games. I think that's the only way to get ME1 on PS3. I never played the first game and feel like I missed out on a lot so make sure to play it.
EDIT: Actually, I think you can download ME1 from PSN so it may be cheaper to get it there and the other 2 games used.

Ita not like kotor and the grinding comes in the forum of doing sidequest and other things. It helps you level up. I play all my games on the hardest difficulty and the series was way harder than the uncharted series. The only complaints I had about the first were mako controls and the elevators and load times. The second was perfect.
The third was like the second but added a few new things. There are a ton of cutscenes but you have control of them and what actually happens.

The Mako has fans of the first Mass Effect game split. I loved the Mako. It was a little wonky at times, but if you handled it right, you could drive up a hill at an 85 degree angle lmao.
Also, the elevators in Mass Effect >>>>>>> generic loading screens in ME2. BioWare creatively masked the loading times in ME , and people didn't like it, so we got those boring 'ship diagnostic' loading screens in ME2.

LMAO@85 degree angle. You really can but like you said you need the handles. The elevator rides were long but they also shed light on some of the back story or gave a different spin on what you did, but the length is what turned most of us off. The ship diagnostic screen in ME2 served no purpose. But still, a great series overall.

The hearthfire house building addon is fuckin dope. I spent my first 10 hours or so just building a sprawling mansion. Havent even touched the dawnguard or dragonborn dlc yet.

Really enjoying the skyrim dragonborn DLC. The enemies were kicking my ass at level 21 on expert, i had to drop it to regular difficulty till i get higher enchanting and smithing. The hearthfire dlc is pretty dope house wise but the adopted children thing is weird. I adopted some street rat begger girl who guilt tripped me now i feel obligated to find treats and dresses for her as gifts. When i come back to the mansion after being gone for several in game days the kid stares at me and makes me feel like a terrible parent lol. A fuckin giant spawned outside my house and almost killed my damn housecarl and kid too lmao. I got to enchant them some overpowered gear when my skills catch up.
All in all skyrim legendary edition is worth the buy and you could spend years trying to build up 6 homes and fill them with gear and shit, which is one of my fave things to do
