FINALLY got my copy of the game!
But now that I have the game and have played about 3 hours (up to
getting the Normandy and arriving at Omega) I feel like posting a bit.
Just
a few of stream of consciousness thoughts.
Opening intro to the
game - JAW DROPPING. And painful to watch.
I had JUST gotten my
Vanguard Shepard (Lora) up to her penultimate 2nd run through and
achieved level 60 not 2 hours before porting her over.
It was punch to the gut to watch the rape of the Normandy. I'm literally
just muttering "oh my god" over and over - partially because of the
action, partially because of the visuals. Gut-wrenching to watch Lora
fall away from the remains of the Normandy. And there was definitely an
"ick" factor to her rebirth. Glad they focused on the micro scale stuff
with just a schematic of her overall body structure.
That recent
play-through might've worked against me somewhat. My reflexes were all
wrong at first. Even with re-assigning keys to my style. The game plays
-very- different.
I like having a heavy weapon though.
Miranda's
SUCH a bitch... But I might like her anyway.
Jacob - seems like
a stand-up guy. I would've played things a bit more renegade without
him being honest with me right at the start.
JOKER!!! HA!! Same
old wise-guy. The snark between him and EDI has already been
priceless. I'm already starting to think it's love at first sight
between the two of them.
Damn I'm a softy. I got misty-eyed as the
Normandy 2 was introduced. (and that's some DAMN FINE music there.)
Oh
dear - EDI and Joker - we have a new comedy duo, folks! ^_^
Hey! Dr.
Chakwas! Didn't expect to see her again. (And is it me, or does she
look DAMN GOOD for her age?)
The cook... HA. I like this guy.
And
the Engineers. Love the Celtic brogue that guy's sporting.
Ok.
Finished the tour of the ship.
Am
I weird for missing the Mako? I mean - I liked booming about in that
thing. I got pretty damn good at it, too. And frankly, I liked being
able to hole up in the tank in some circumstances. And it looked cooler
than that new shuttle. Oh well.
Am running the stuff on Omega Station now. Found Archangel - GARRUS!!! Cool!
But - OUCH... owie owie... ow... Dude. Well, you're right. Some females do dig battle scars. But still - ouch...
Ok. Donnelly just became my new favorite "extra"
Normandy Crew member.
"Oh I don' noo, Commander Lawson's
uniform is verra official. Always makes ME stand a' attenshun!"
Damn
near made me spew my drink over the monitor, he did! ROTFL!
