I get it now.

The game is called Lost Odyssey because the narrative is fucking lost in the woods. I am trying to batter my way through the 4th disc which is strangely harder than the rest of the game – and I am completely mystified as to what is going on in this game. I think the developers are assuming I am reading all the of the Power Point pop-ups in the game.

But yeah, nothing makes any sense in this game and why does the last boss have 56K hp?

Whatever, GTA IV comes out tomorrow… I will use that game to shoot this one in the head.

Minor Effect

So it turns out that if you did what you were supposed to do and played Mass Effect all the way to the end there is no way to play with their new downloadable content unless you have an old save or you play the game over again. I did not have an old save and playing the game over again takes more than an hour just to get use of your ship again. So what’s my opinion of the new content? I don’t fucking know because I can’t play it.

Why Bioware doesn’t let you just noodle around in the Normandy after you complete the game is beyond me. There were still lots of quests I didn’t do and even if I had finished them all I would enjoy just roaming the galaxy looking at the planets. This is one of those times you wish you could just sit the designer down and go “really? It’s supposed to be like that?”
