Are you saying you only enjoy mass effect in your teens, or only if you are a teenager then you would remember playing mass effect? Cause both of those are wrong.
Let me put it this way, when the games came out I would read every codex entry and mission description and do multiple playthroughs to see every possible scene, I have like 3k hours combined between the three games on record.
These days I just blast trough games and struggle to stop and listen to some audiolog
I understand what you are saying, I’m just saying I disagree. I think that’s a personal issue. I mean if you’ve played the games before and read it all sure, it’s gonna be harder to want to stop and smell the roses, and that’s fine, you enjoy it in a different way. But you can still make time to fall into a game the way you did before, just gotta try a little bit and you’ll be surprised at how easy it is to get drawn in the same way.
I’m in my 30s and when I play a new game I do that, I read all the little books in BG3, I visit all the extra hidden spots I can find in things like breath of the wild, and yeah I’ve played mass effect before, have a good chunk of it memorized, so I don’t play it the same way, but if I had never played it before I would play it the same way. Just got to take your time when you have it.
Maybe Im just tired of games in general, bg3 was the kind of game I wanted to inmerse myself in but I couldn’t be bothered to read about random lore, I just kept going through the motions doing multiple playthroughs with different classes, alignments and love interests but that’s as far as I was able to get into it.
Which to be fair is still very deep but it’s not the same process of discovery it was when I was a kid anymore
That’s fair, maybe you need a break, or even just playing another kind of game for a little while, give your mind a reset. I go through stages where I’ll play one kinda game for a while, and then switch to another, sometimes you just gotta switch it up a bit. Don’t force yourself when you aren’t in the mood.

Nah it just has a different impact when you’re still filled with wonder and not just jaded and conditioned to just fill checklists
I disagree, but I appreciate your opinion.
