i need to get back into gaming; after all, i have a bit more free time now than i've been used to for the past 4 years. i'd like to hear what games you're really excited about!
personally, i'm really excited about Mass Effect 3. i'm definitely going to end up getting it for the PC. now, if you're a fan, what were the strong points of 1 and 2? i enjoyed the gameplay mechanics of 2 better since i do enjoy FPS and action games, but i really liked the RPG elements of 1 and the story of 1 better (although they really needed to make a better inventory system without 5 items that do the same thing and a relative inability to sort since that weighed it down tremendously). something about the first was really magical, and the second was great but lacked the spark, although the gameplay was more refined and fun. thankfully that means they were both great, and that 3 should be decent enough. i have a feeling it will follow more closely along the lines of 2.
hopefully in the near future i will be able to play skyrim again. it's the last truly nice thing my ex did for me, so it's been tough to start it up again.
just a brief note about that: i think i'm getting better, but there are a lot of tearful evenings still. i loved him, and i miss him, even though he treated me like crud. i am realizing now how really badly he treated me, previously i was accepting of some of the treatment because i thought it was temporary and that his attitude was a work in progress, but he decided he didn't want to progress and work on anything anymore, and that's when it was time to say good-bye. all that hard work was only towards a goal that was never going to be acheived, and i was the only one who didn't know it.
luckily, some of my friends have moved back into town! i get to go to a wedding next weekend, so that means getting all dressed up and fancy for once in a long while. the couple is extremely sweet, and they have both had their share of bad relationships and have really taken me under their wing. i like being around them because it restores my faith in love and happiness. AND they are both really nice people who invite me to their place to game :D (see how i brought it full circle har har)...
anyway, i can't think of any other games or things i'm excited about, so... your turn!
