Rick_Hunter posted:Since Mr. Shootist isn't going to be asking any questions about ME for a while, I just wanted to ask the thread why there is so much overwhelming love for the vanguard. I also want to preface this by saying that I have played the single player campaign with either a soldier or a sentinel, so I have no experience in ANY of the games with playing a vanguard in single player. The single hardest thing(with any class) about single player after playing multiplayer is the medigel. Vanguard turns sp into a joke.

monster on a stick posted:So my low-effort playthrough - which consists of skipping nearly all sidemissions except for Grissom Academy, all sidequests except for a few that fell into my lap (Miranda and a few Citadel fetchquests) - and role playing a Knight Templar Shepard throwing the Krogan and Geth under the bus because they can't be trusted - has just completed Horizon and has an EMS of... 1500, which combined with my "destroy the base" decision in ME2 means that I'll have one choice, Destroy, which will be pretty catastrophic. You should play multiplayer, it owns real hard.

bobjr posted:One thing I think that would have made the original ending better is have the person who you sacrificed on Virmire be the Catalyst representative, just so they could have a bit about how there would have to be sacrifices would have to be made for what you want, since Virmire was the first moment where you had to choose something that wasn't ideal to win in the end. If they wanted me to hate the Catalyst they chose the perfect representative.

Striking Yak posted:Who are these new players, anyway? Who's jumping into this make-decisions space story in the third game of the trilogy? Why? Are they here for the multiplayer? It's sure as hell not for the story! Me, not everyone is going to go back and slog through inferior gameplay of the first two games just so I can see slightly different dialogue. Is it really that baffling to you?

monster on a stick posted:Except at that point it's not really a role-playing game because you aren't playing as your own Shepard, you are playing other characters - multiple ones at that. From a gameplay perspective, it means that your abilities keep changing ("singularity... wait, I'm Garrus now, oops I'm dead.") That sounds a lot like multiplayer which was way more fun than the lovely role-playing the single player had.

Still not as bad as the Citadel cutscene. The most powerful biotic in the galaxy is suddenly restricted to a pistol that has permanently occupied a storage locker on the Normandy.

Waltzing Along posted:I don't think your experience is the norm. The first time I fought him I did struggle a bit. I didn't come close to dying, but it wasn't easy. Now that I know the game he is a pushover. But that first time, he was a challenge. I might be thinking of the final fight, though. In any case, if Bioware tuned him to be hard for someone like you, then your average player would never beat him. I find it hard to believe that anyone had a hard time with any of the Kai Leng encounters. Do you not use powers?

BigPaddy posted:Movement and combat were refined some more in a positive way and the fact everyone wasn't walking around with 5 guns strapped to their body made sense but playing a Vanguard there were a few points that I wished I still had a sniper rifle, but it did mean I had to lean on my squad more. You are doing it wrong.

exquisite tea posted:The war table from Dragon Age: Inquisition is really what I think the Galaxy at War feature from ME3 wanted to be. You build power and influence all over the map by dispatching your specialists to perform tasks for you, gather resources, research upgrades, and unlock new areas. Unless you play 100+ hours you don't really have the time to do every little side mission so you have to pick and choose which ones you do. It's so much cooler than spamming spacebar while flying your toy ship around a star system until the Reapers arrive. I kinda wish ME3 had the feature first because it would have gone a long way toward making the gameplay feel like you were amassing this huge galactic coalition, even if in practice not much would be changed. It would also be nice if any of those things did gently caress all.

exquisite tea posted:Well like I said they get you items, increase influence, unlock new areas, give resources, and sometimes lead to funny things like sidequests, mount prizes and judgment dialogues. It's not the main game but it's enough to be interesting and way better than "fly around solar system spamming the scan button." Yeah I was referring to ME3 where none of those resources do anything to effect the game in any meaningful way.

I refused to make those idiot choices after amassing the biggest, baddest army the galaxy had ever seen(I play too much multiplayer) and I didn't trust the reaper telling me to kill myself. Then I watched a hologram of Liara and a game over screen. gently caress your ending Bioware.

sassassin posted:Even though everyone hates Kai Leng, well over half his audience seem to think they have arrived at that feeling the wrong way, and that - even if that were true - that matters. Yes, it matters that the game has terrible, grade school level writing for a reoccurring boss. You're excusing the awful execution just because of some weird schadenfreude.

sassassin posted:"Kai Leng should have seemed smarter, he should have been stronger, Shepard should have a bigger excuse for not winning..." Kai Leng is tedious. The characters in the game tell us he is dangerous but during gameplay he is an absolute joke. Show don't tell and all. They have to construct elaborate cutscenes wherein everyone becomes feeble so Kai Leng can be successful (this is a problem throughout the game not just with Kai Leng). The interrupt isn't satisfying at all because by that point I don't hate the character I just hate the people involved with creating him.

By that point in the game you've taken out multiple flying Reaper monsters that have destroyed tons of those gunships but because you're fighting Kai Leng you cannot attack the plane. You can't even shoot out its light. Why are weapons and powers useless only during that fight?

sassassin posted:
The failure is in telling us he is dangerous, showing that he isn't then telling us again that he is dangerous. I know he isn't threatening because during gameplay, the most important part of games, he is entirely trivial. Showing is always more important than telling. That is a basic rule of visual storytelling. As for your spoiler: I already said it happens throughout the game. Just because it happens a lot doesn't mean it isn't stupid.
