Actually, you could easily tell by looking at extra-galactic objects and quickly notice that you aren't in the Milky Way.

But.... neighboring galaxies are identifiable within that length of time. You'd still be able to figure out, maybe not exactly where/when you are, but *generally* when/where you are.

I'll probably do another run through ME1-ME3 right before; usually take me about a month. Maybe do a male Paragon, haven't done that recently since the game just plays too well when played as an evil bitch .

What if it's a 3/10?

Dragon Age: Origins. Back in 2009.
Sure ME3 had good action gameplay bits... and ME2 had good character storylines. But neither was overall excellent. Mechanically all their recent games have been deficient and the over-arching stories have been lackluster affairs. DA:I was the culmination of everything wrong with where their games have gone. It was a miserable and forgettable experience.

I'll step in front of the bus and say it: I enjoyed DA:I. Even replayed it at least once; hell, I enjoyed DA2, and even replayed it once too.
And that's not ME.
ME, and I don't mean one particular game but the story that comprises all three, beginning to end with DLC, has to be my favorite game series. The story of the first is the most engaging- the second is the best overall game, adding in characters and making the gameplay interesting, and the third gets the gameplay mostly right (least frustrating). But I take altogether.
So even if it's a 3/10 as JBI mentioned, I'm still playing it .
(note that I'm not admonishing anyone else for not preordering- I have no interest in trying to convince you, I'm just stating why I did)

It's a digital edition; You can still buy it on launch day if you want for exactly the same price! Pre-ordering just tells EA that you're so desperate for Mass-Effect related content that you will open your wallet blindly for any old garbage they stick the label on.
