I am intrigued as to what you think about Valkyria Revolution - I have never played it but I keep wanting to try it out despite the reviews.

I've played a few of hours of it so far and it's not the worst. The gameplay is kind of bad yeah, but I love the over-the-top story. The 5 main character's plot for revenge is pretty cool. I actually didn't expect much out of the story, but it looks like that's the strong suit of the game. It really does feel like playing five minutes of Dynasty Warriors between episodes of a low budget anime, yet I don't hate it 😂

Oh, I've been wanting to play Baldur's Gate as well! I started it and had an extremely lame moment where I couldn't get past the tutorial. XD To this day I'm convinced something glitched. Alternatively, I was really bad at designing my character because I couldn't pick a lock.... *ahem*

I can totally relate to having too many games, though. XD My own backlog (i.e. things I'm currently in the middle of) include Pillars of Eternity, Planescape: Torment, and Grim Dawn. All of these are fantastic (although I'm failing miserably at Pillars of Eternity), so I'm looking forward to getting back to them since I finished up ME3. ^^

Excellent, it sounds like the best kind of trashy yet enjoyable game.

Baldur's Gate tutorial is chock full of information and kept trying to move on without me. The tutorial guy said "I'll give you a little time to play around with this feature yourself. Ok let's move on." *immediately sends me to the basement to fight hobgoblins or whatever* I had to take a break in the middle because of information overload. And frankly I'm still struggling with the menus, but I feel like I'll get used to them eventually. It's really fun once you start the story. The writing is hilarious and I love that you can practically do whatever you want.

I didn't even realize I had so many games to play! (I just keep playing Dragon Age games over and over lmao.) Some of them like Spyro, Bravely Default, and Revelations are at the finish line, I just have to cross it. Others I completely forgot I had.... I want to play Pillars of Eternity too! It sounds fun. I need to play the Mass Effect games too, I'm currently in the beginning of the first one & just got the ability to travel to other planets, but I stopped on one and a giant sand worm killed me too many times so I stopped playing 😂

Sounds like the tutorial is a little tricky. XD I'm glad it wasn't just me it was giving trouble to! I don't blame you for having to take a bit of a break. I'm definitely looking forward to the story; it sounds like the kind of old-school game I will just love.

Oh, if you just got to new planets, the enemies and sand worms will definitely be tough in Mass Effect. I know I skipped one base in favor of a different mission when I was low-level, which turned out to be a good idea. Eventually, things get much easier as you level up, of course.
