I've played this game like 20+ times. I'm to the point where I cant play anymore. I tried to start a new game the other day and turned it off right after the first mission.

I'm taking March 5 - 7 off of work to do a ultimate ME marathon.

ME 1 & 2 on Monday. Go to Midnight release that night.
ME 3 all day Tuesday. Then recovery day the next.

You play like I do. haha. When I'm in the mood for Mass effect it's hours and hours of gameplay. I'm currently playing ME1 for at LEAST my 10th play-through. ME1 is by far my favorite. Yes, even over 3. Just because the ending of 3 almost made me cry and I'm a guy that is not cool. lol.

I played ME1 4 times and ME2 5 times (imported 4 Sheps and gibbed the 5th one). I'm planning of playing ME3 at least 2 times before I start university and maybe another 3 times later, depends of the free time.

Ner'vod that sounds like a really good plan, are you sure you've given nyourself enough time? Mass Effect has a lot of running around the Citadel missions like scanning the keepers and whatnot.

Judging from my imports I have completed ME six times. But I know it's more than that because I beat it twice on my first 360 under another profile.

I need a cooling off period now. After finishing ME3. As of right now. I have zero urge to play any of the games again.

Addendum: I'm going to go play Skyrim for a while. I'm not playing again till something is addressed about the endings. At least a explanation.

Even a Contributor at Forbes thinks the company is going down hill.

I've played the first one a handful of time but the second one a lot more. I really like the story in ME1 I just really dont like the gameplay all that much.

Twice, planning a 3rd though as part of my summer trilogy playthrough.

Interesting article, and it does feel like Bioware are a different company since they joined with EA. I remember thinking the same about Mass Effect 2 when I played it. Love the game, don't get me wrong, but compared to Mass Effect I can't help but feel the quality of stroyline writing dropped of to a huge degree. But character writing increased dramatically to compensate so it was a fair trade.

As for your cooling off period, I'm having the opposite urge. I want to go back to a better place and time and replay Mass Effect until the whole Mass 3 mess is settled. What's your opinion Ner'vod, will bioware admit they dropped a bollock and repair the damage with a free DLC? Or was this part of a EA fatcat master plan, like the whole indoctrination theory implies?

next week I have a short vacation time, might do another run, vanguard or adept this time from me1 to me3 :P

I've actually about to complete another ME3 playthough (NG+) and going to start another maybe (Vanguard or Infiltrator). I'm waiting for patch 1.5 for Skyrim before I start playing that again. Comes out next month.

I'm at the acceptance point of the Ending scale for now. I'm tired of bitching about the ending since it just cause arguments everywhere. I still don't like it. I don't play enough MP to get my readiness up enough to get the rubble to move at the end, so I'm bringing my LI Liara with me on the final push on the London Conduit, so when she dies I feel less saddened when I do the destroy ending and we can be together. LOL

I might start another ME1 run, but not do any of the extra exploring with the Mako. I suffer from Mako Narcolepsy, so I just try to bee line it to the objective.

I wish BW would go with the Indoc Theory and if it did happen it would be the biggest gabble and publicity stunt BW and the rEApers have ever done.
