I found it funny that the two of the endings were just "No Shepard, you are the Reapers. And then Shepard was the Reapers."

This is somewhat supported by http://mod.gib.me/masseffect3/testdump.txt where it says that the stargazer scene is about 10,000 years in the future and the people in it look "a little bit asari, a little bit human" ie. a new species.

This is strange since the children of Asari and any other race is always Asari. There isn't a whatever/asari hybrid thing.

How could I forget the thing even more annoying than the loving flying rocket droids? COMBAT ENGINEERS, hope you like your weapon overheating for the whole next week. I'm pretty sure this came out ages after WoW had demostrated on massive scale that long duration disables on player are REALLY loving ANNOYING. So why the gently caress does single player game have this poo poo.

And the level up system, million things to put your points in, most of them do gently caress at all. 0.5s more to duration of Warp, that I can use once per minute. Hold me down, I can't handle this excitement.

I'm starting to wonder if I got my memories of ME1 mixed with some other, far better game.

Set the difficulty to easy. The combat is easily the worst part of ME1 and it's entirely worth it to just avoid the lovely combat and focus on the story and what not. Insanity isn't the fun mode in ME1, it's the "oh cool this Krogan is immune to damage for 50 out of every 60 seconds, guess I'll just hang out here" mode.

Well maybe, but even then. Why not Ashley/Kaidan? I mean, I always thought that really they were supposed to be the canon romance considering they are even an alliance soldier like Shep and are humans and even become a spectre like him.

I think it mostly has to do with her being the only LI you cannot kill at any point in the games. Since everyone definitely will see her during ME3 and will have her alive at the end of the game she got the most work done for her animations and model.

Plus Liara rules

Not surprisingly it's hard to find video of any of these because what kind of monster would do any of this.

Someone said yesterday (otherwise known as 500 pages ago) that renegade Shepard goes from get-things-done rear end in a top hat/space racist to history's greatest monster. I mean holy poo poo some of the renegade things in ME3 are just absolutely brutal.

I don't know, I still think the most absolutely evil thing Shepard can do is to execute Shiala in ME1. Mostly just because the method is a slow, deliberate execution to the back of her head after making her get on her knees.

edit -


This makes sense. And of course I'm not arguing with your point.

It comes down to arguing whether drowning or suffocating a bag of kittens is the most evil. They are both very mean

I think they deserve cupcakes. They made 3 games I love. Shame about the ending, but to me that didn't invalidate everything else. Different opinions!

And if someone were going to give me hate-cupcakes I wouldn't want them anyway.

But what if they gave you cupcakes and you enjoyed them and then they were like "ps: I hate you"???

Speculation!

Step up does seem to succeed as spectacle, no argument there. And GI Joe is basically going to be just spectacle, so that works.

Wow... just wow. Truth remains stranger than fiction. A Mass Effect fan film... starring Mark Meer.

This is possibly the strangest thing yet.

Mark Meer is a really skinny dude, it's weird hearing his voice and not seeing Shepard.

So is it just me, or do I feel like I got tricked into killing myself?

Because, literally, every single choice at the end sounded like I was going to die. Even with red, with the "partly synthetic" part.

I just got tricked into killing myself by a gay spacebaby. gently caress my life.

Yes, that gay spacebaby tricked you and there was nothing you could do about it.

This seems like sarcasm. Are you somehow insinuating Shepard doesn't get tricked into suicide by a giant gay spacebaby?

I think the worst part is Shepard himself actually tricks two other guys into offing themselves in the most hypocritical way possible. Saren basically wanted synthesis, but you're like "nah, that's loving stupid dude; kill yourself". So he does.

Then TIM just wanted to control the Reapers but you're all like "nah, that's really loving stupid, man; you should probably kill yourself. Do it". So he does.

Yet in the end Shepard has to save the galaxy using the ideologies 2/3 end game bosses lived by.

I was being serious. It only looked like sarcasm because the situation is so loving stupid.
