Done with ME2, a far superior game both plot and character wise. Decisions are also way more impactful, with me having to reload midway though the final dungeon because I realised I made WAY too many mistakes and didn't agree with some of the things happening. Let's see how my decisions go in ME3.

Jumping straight into ME2, with a hell of a premise as to why Shepard seems to have completely reset. Gameplay feels a little different, with the AI intelligent enough to use skills on their own, making it actually feel like an ARPG than a third person shooter with RPG elements.

Character wise, I was not too fond of both of the human characters, but really connected with Liara, though I do like using Garrus and Wrex too. Overall, this has pushed the chance of me playing though the series with a much higher priority, especially since I know the next one is the hot fav 2/2

Done with ME1. I enjoyed it very much, with the world giving a very Star Wars vibe. I do like that choices made in the game really impact the story, despite it being relatively linear. I will say alot of the side worlds are tedious, with the tank having alot of trouble to get though the terrain 1/?

Done with the game, including post game and 118/119 side quests (too lazy to activate the last one). Overall, a fun game, albeit lacking in some places. Roster was a little small, and I do wish that some megas could have been obtained earlier, but still a satisfying playthrough. Also, Emma is waifu

Finished this faster than expected. Was an OK game all the way, though it would have been way more tedious without a guide. Battle was wonky, quests are sometimes near impossible to find (I missed 4 quests for that reason, even with a guide), but the world feels very lived in, and fun to explore.

Done with Fallout 3, and what an experience it was. The world is great, and I had so much fun exploring the world. The plot was eh at best, but the world is just amazing. I may return to play a more evil route next time. This was my first action based CRPG, and I loved it. Can't wait to try another.

I think I'm going to retire SoM for now, I have not been feeling it, and I feel like the ATB/Action combination feels a tad awkward to get used to. I'll come back to it some day when I'm feeling in a better mood for it.

from Yakuza 4 and 5. I did not enjoy the Haruka idol minigames, nor did I enjoy how many random character and plot points got shoehorned into a very convoluted story, the gameplay and subplots are some of the more entertaining in the series yet. Here’s hoping for more when I get into Yakuza 6 2/2

Well even by Yakuza plots, this ending was convoluted, and the final boss was fairly unsatisfying. That said, the final scene was a touching one, and probably my 2nd favourite ending in the series. Overall, the plot of the game wasn’t its strong point but it was certainly a marked improvement 1/?

Done with a very weird arc. Shinada is my least fav Yakuza protagonist yet, and also feels like the most shoehorned into the plot yet. That said, Shinada has the most entertaining side plot with his baseball shtick, and I finish all his side and sub stories, rare for me. Now for the finale arc.

Moving on from the Akiyama/Haruka arc with what was the most convoluted way to shoehorn this side arc into the main plot. Heading to yet another new location in Nagoya (a third in this game), with a new character that seems to be very unlikeable at first glance.

The Haruka portion was a rhythm game and, there is a limit to how many time I can hear the same song before getting a tad bored. The plot has stated to pick up, especially with Akiyama joining the fray, but this feels like incredibly filler compared with the previous 2 arcs.
