So I have Mass Effect (thread title updated)

[Octo]

Also, I sort of cheated and looked at a guide and I'm glad I did because I was planning on being a jerk to that Sha'ira woman, and tell her to stick her fortune telling up her arse but it turns out that if I had done that she would have had sex with me?! DO NOT WANT.

Other than that I haven't had that much oppurtunity - as far as I am aware - to boff anyone, I mean I was nice to both Kaidan and Ashley when I had the chance, and I'm not aware that either of them like me in that way. Anyway I guess we'll see. Not that I particularly care. I mean if I had to choose who out of everyone I've met so far it'll probably be Garrus, as Mae West once said: 'Between two evils I always pick the big weird lizard-fish-cat man'

I find the whole menu system a baffling ordeal.

My god I had forgotten about the menu system. Inventory and menu game in Mass Effect was such a wreck. Bless Mass Effect 2's overhaul.

Can't wait til you get the fridge on wheels

Mako master race

I can't wait until you get best girl Liara.

 

[Cthulhu]

I found Liara kinda boring TBF, her VA makes her sound like some floaty weirdo hippie.




*runs*

So I guess you found Lightning boring too, eh?

Welp, I got control of the Normandy now. It took me about 23487643 minutes to find my way to the fucking dock. Why is that not signposted anywhere?

I mean, maybe I'm just a simple earthling, but you'd think that would be an important location on a fucking space station.

Also getting increasingly unhappy about my choice of haircut. It looks like Alan Partridge. Am I stuck like this forever? Even through the other games?

 

[Ami]

No, you can always alter your appearance in the second and third game.

Really enjoying the commentary, it's so refreshing to hear a newbie go on about the first game. It feels like a decade ago since I played it for the first time.

Went to Edolus and killed that sandworm....eventually... these camera angles want to fuck me in the arse.

Now I'm stuck on er...Ter..Telan.. Terman? Some planet beginning with T and I can't escape until I've done the bloody mission. That Geth spider thing is practically invulnerable.

Hardcore.

For bonus XP and lewts, get out of the car at the last moment and kill it with regular guns, since the Mako limits the amount of XP you earn while killing stuff with it

 

[Octo]

Now you tell me

 

[Kuja9001]

Now you tell me

Don't worry, you'll encounter more.

What were your thoughts on Jenkins(The first death in the game).

 

[Octo]

Jenkins....let me tell you about Jenkins...

Well, I guess he was a redshirt wasn't he? I didn't bury him, but I wasn't horrible about it. I'm playing the game as if I was some sort of high ranking by the books sort, whereas if it was me I'd have probably buried him, and then made a little cross out of twigs like we did for all our dead pets.

Jenkins....I will never forget you....even though I can't even remember your face or anything about you.

 

[Clement Rage]

You can bury him?

 

[Octo]

I dunno, i think it might have been a dialogue option anyway. Or it might have been the meanie option eg 'we dont have time to bury him' can't remember... even though it was only 2 days ago :/

 

[Hisako]

lol the dude was called fuckin Jenkins, his very name sounds like a redshirt

 

[Lex]

Therum?

 

[Octo]

Yeah Therum. I was all geared up. I actually sorted out my equipment and point thingys. I was all ready to make another -4th I think- attempt. And then en route I was trying to mow down some geth troopers with the Mako. And then i get game over because apparently I went in the lava. I never did! Ok it was like if the lava was the sea we were on damp sand. but i wasnt IN the lava.

So then i ragequit because bullshit. and bedtime also.

 

[Joe]

The game gets immeasurably better after Therum

[/biased]

 

[Hisako]

Feros has probably my favorite level design in the entire Mass Effect series because it feels big enough to be a wicked sick sky tower installation and it has that classic BioWare plot development structure

Also, ME1 has some of the most incredible skyboxes

 

[Lex]

listen to satsusoft explorer

he's expressing an opinion that isn't weighed down by sony's involvement

 

[Joker]

Now I'm stuck on er...Ter..Telran.. Terman?

INDEED

also tali is best <333

also gj on getting THE BEST GAME SERIES EVER

 

[Cthulhu]

I disagree, I've struggled to finish each instance. And come to think of it, still haven't finished 3 despite giving it a good go twice,

The percentage of conversations vs gameplay and probably the shit frame rate is annoying me.

What I hope will happen in the future (but tbf it's not likely else it would've happened already) is that the console makers require all games to play at a constant 60 fps at HD resolutions before they're allowed on their platform. It's possible already now, no reason at all for the next generation to not have that. Plus 4K televisions and rendering capabilities are still far away.

 

[Joker]

I disagree, you are lazy

 

[Cthulhu]

True,
