Mass Effect Series

[Strangelove]

More people need to invest in my investment of an XBox 360

 

[Sheva Alomar]

If I wasn't poor, I'd probably help you out. D;

 

[Strangelove]

If my brother weren't a massive douche and paid me what he owes me, I'd have more than enough money for one.

But he's a douche and never pays me back/owes money to so many that my turn to be repaid never comes around

All the close calls I had on my Insanity run through felt so satisfying, especially at the end. I'm on my third play through now.

It was oddly satisfying running backwards in a circle from armored Husks on Horizon. *warp* *run* *head shot* Oh shit, the Praetor sat on Mordin *run*

@ME3: there's no way it can start off as good as ME2, or end as good as ME1, but I trust Bioware to deliver. I bet the last 1/4 of the game is going be 300 in space. Especially if you spared the arachni queen, reprogrammed the heretic Geth, saved the council, kept the cure for the genophage, etc. It'll be Krogan warlords fighting next to Asari commmandos, Quarians, Geth, the Alliance, the Terminus Systems and all the Council races.

My wish list for ME3:

- I want a Volus on my next team. And an Elcor. And the Hanar assassin that strangled Zaeed.

- Bring back the old style planetary exploration. It works, if done right. Make the side quests better, the mountains smaller, and the rocks and dead bodies not require decryption.The Hammerhead >>>>>>> the Mako.

- Do I really need to cover planet farming? It's dumb and boring. Get rid of it.

- Joker needs to A) put on a mech suit and join my team and/or B) be a love interest for FemShep. This is non-negotiable.

- Open the Presidium back up, and make the Citadel drastically larger. It's the capital of the Galaxy for fuck's sake.

- The assault rifle is shit. Fix it.

- I want the chance for REAL catfight. I mean Ashley, Miranda, Jack, Tali, Kelly, and everyone else I plowed or hit on laying waste in the mess hall. I want hair pulling, scratching, the whole 9 yards. For the boys, have Garrus kick Jacob in the nuts repeatedly.

- A visit to the Salarian and Turian homeworlds is a must.

- I can live with thermal clips even though the backstory is stupid, but for the love of God, stop making me buy gas.

- In fact, I'm a Spectre. I'm supposed to have unlimited resources. Stop making me pay for stuff.

- For spacers: I want to meet Shepard's mom.

- Playing post-ending is pointless if nothing changes. Make the dialogue change, open some new sidequests, or let me take my love interest out on a date.

- Speaking of which, I want more than stress-relief sex from my girlfriend. Make the relationships deeper. I'm not saying I want Tali pregnant and barefoot, but it would be nice if they worked the angle outside the Normandy too. There should be lots of romantic extras (although a Romance DLC pack is supposedly in the works already)

- The

Spoiler

Joker mission

was fun. I'd like to see that idea applied to other characters. Especially Grunt/Wrex/token Krogan.

- Jack and Thane should both step it up.

Spoiler

Assuming they live.

Both were amazing in cutscenes and underwhelming and mediocre as actual teamates. I want to see Jack actually doing all that crazy biotic shit. Kasumi is closer to what I expected from Thane.

- Bring in James Earl Jones to voice the Reaper King. We all know there has to be one.

- Hire a better science team to write the Codex. Running a positive current to make Element Zero heavier and a negative current to make it lighter makes no sense. It's as arbitrary as facing it right or left. See also, connecting ground to ground in the mini-game.

- Do. not. fuck. with. the new combat and skill point system. Especially the combat system - it's the crown jewel of the game. The only ones complaining about it are the same ones who were kicking and screaming because they loved spending hours omni-gelling crap in their inventory.

- Install an airlock ejection button so I can space the annoying teammate of my choice. Liara, I'm looking at you.

- I love the Protheans. Their theme song is epic and they remind me of Dr. Zoidberg. Add more images like the one in the Cipher. I bet EDI was wrong, and

Spoiler

Harbringer was the Reaper created from the Protheans

.

- Make Paragon and Renegade paths divergent. Right now Renegade is just an excuse to be a dick in a video game. There should be real, game-altering consequences to taking a certain path. Your teammates should be also split about 50/50 when warming to you depending on your choices.

- Kasumi looks like a human Tali. Make her available for both Shepard sexes plz.

- Add the Afterlife music to the ME3 soundtrack, even if we can't visit Omega.

- More trivia. More planets. I love learning about the history and culture of the galaxy, and the little stories they tell when you visit a planet that have nothing to do with your quest. I-M-M-E-R-S-I-V-E

This, Mainly the Jack part.

Which reminds me,

- We barely got a chance with Legion. He's like Tali, except he has a sniper rifle instead of a shotgun, so he doesn't rush in thinking he's Grunt and get himself killed instantly. Please bring him in early next time.

It would be nice if

Spoiler

that HUGE decision we made in Mass Effect 1 between Ashley and Kaiden, would actually amount to a 1 minute appearance by said character ending in them not being seen again.

Spoiler

And as for the one selected for death, They're barely mentioned by Shepard in the story, apart from to confirm his memories.

Yeah, it was like "So you just got back from being dead, *hug* WHY DIDN'T YOU CALL ME YOU ASSHOLE TRAITOR, I LOVE YOU" *leaves*

Then she sent me an email with poetry and got all Christian on me. What a flake.

 

[Joe]

I think its just a default Vbulletin setting to be honest.

It really did crack me up how Shepard spends most of the game up till that point asking about said character, and then this happens xD

 

[Max Payne]

Jack needs to die. That is all. Terrible bitch of a character.

Newbies can't edit posts because of trolls.

I could take or leave her. She'll have rough, nasty Renegade sex on a dime, but she'd rather have nice Paragon missionary on the bed while crying.

The thing about Jack is, she would have made more sense as a male character. She's the stereotypical "bad boy", tattooed and brooding, but desperate to be saved underneath it all. Females in general tend to gravitate toward that archetype more so than males.

 

[lychanking]

Lol I love that vid. I'm going through my probably final playthrough on Insanity. Of course before I do so I need to beat Dragon Age Awakenings again, Final Fantasy XIII, Disgea III, and probably Heavy Rain.

I had the most epic kill for the final boss. Tried to keep spoilers out of my description but just in case.

Spoiler

Stupidly used up all my medigel so I only had two left. Eventually got my party members in good positions to take out the small stuff while I focused my heavy weapon.

They fell near the end and I brought them back, only for them to fall right away again. Ran out of heavy weapon ammo. Was hiding on the right side and pressed buttons too quickly jumping over the edge. Turned out I had some heavy weapon ammo sitting right there.

Used that up quickly and the boss had very little health left, but I was being surrounded. I played as an Infiltrator so I went invisible, ran forward, and fired 5 shots of my sniper rifle. Enemies all around. As I came out of my cloak... the screen flickered and I didn't know whether I had just died or got that last shot in time...

I got it.

Best video game moment of my life. XP

Jack needs to die. That is all. Terrible bitch of a character.

She was the only character who

Spoiler

died at the end of my first play through. Which just made me hate her more cause that was an achievement.

As the gameplay works as a Squad-based shooter (or in some cases does not work), Mass Effect 3 may benefit from a co-operative play feature.

 

[Sheva Alomar]

I await the prospect of Mass Effect 3 having co-op and multiplayer options.

I've already had a few conversations about how I wish ME2 had drop in co-op

Yeah...no. Jack doesn't want to be saved. She just wants to be a fucking bitch. Even after you open up to her and appeal to everything she wants, she's still a fucking asshole. Fuck Jack.

 

[Joe]

Jack is an awesome team member. If only her abilities in combat actually reflected how powerful she should be.

Drop in Co-Op would definitly work to some level.

- In fact, I'm a Spectre. I'm supposed to have unlimited resources. Stop making me pay for stuff.

Being a Spectre is optional in ME2. Either way, getting shit for free would only apply to Citadel space anyway (if at all), which a lot of ME2 takes place outside of it.

I was been a little facetious. The council only agrees to reinstate you if you restrict your activities to the Terminus systems, where they have no jurisdiction. It's an empty gesture.

@Teammates: Grunt is the closest to what I expected (a tank, nearly unkillable, is always 2 rooms ahead annihilating shit, and screams I AM KROGAAAAAN over Harbringer's taunts). Miranda also lives up to the hype and is probably the most balanced in the game.

Tali sucks the most tbh. She went from being the most useful teammate in ME1 to the least.

 

[Joe]

Combat drone alone can keep the most annoying enemies to take out busy for a little while, Tali is good for that atleast, But then I guess I used Legion for that against Harbinger and Scions.

Whether this is in reference to ME2 or ME3, I think most people will atleast in part agree that this will be a welcome addition.
