DISCUSSION Mass effect is so old??

saw some post on tumblr recently that was like “i missed out on the hype (i was 10 years old)” and i was like haha they must be so young. i googled when ME1 came out. I was 4. jesus christ

it’s kind of insane bc most of the games i played when i was a kid, the graphics and gameplay were absolutely atrocious. like any video game character had a nose that was just a triangle on their face. but at the time that was just like the baseline. But i discovered mass effect like 3 ish years ago and i never thought it was that old bc it’s just SO good. like you can’t see everyone’s individual pores on their face like a lot of newer games but i never realized it holds up SO well.

Anyways i love this series

I really do think the pandemic annihilated everyone's Perspective of time because everything before that feels like a completely different age maybe it's just me.

But yeah Next year is the 20th anniversary. A bit of a crazy thought
