Er, again. I don&#8217;t think I have anything more to say about the game at this point. I&#8217;ve played it several times, written about it, watched the Spoiler Warning play-through twice,  and referenced it time and again during our review and LP&#8217;s of the subsequent games. This might be the most analyzed game on the site by this point, which is strange to me. <\/p>\n<p>Mass Effect is not really that central to my gaming identity. I&#8217;ve spent more time in Minecraft than in all of my repeated play-throughs of all of the Mass Effect games combined. In fact, it&#8217;s possible I&#8217;ve spent more time with just the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.technicpack.net\/\" title=\"Technic Pack Minecraft mod\">Technic pack<\/a> than with Mass Effect. I spent far more time with Borderlands, Morrowind, Oblivion, Fallout 3, and Skyrim, than with any Mass Effect game. I&#8217;ve spent more hours with the Half-Life franchise than with the Mass Effect franchise. <\/p>\n<p>I think the controversy surrounding the games and the developer had the effect of magnifying the perceived importance of this title, at least on my site. I would like to take this time to say that whatever we think of the game, good or ill, I would officially like to move on. <\/p>\n<p>Except I just remembered that I took some more potshots at the game in this week&#8217;s upcoming Walking Dead Episodes. <\/p>\n<p>Okay, I hope to move on <em>eventually<\/em>.
