You mean like the reapers? And wasn't there a Human-Batarian war before the series? Or was it Turians? I forget.

It would have been more if the humans accidentally started a war with the Asari.

A very sexy war

If it's like ME3 then definitely.

Just play a human engineer since those are unlocked from the start with the lightest pistol available. You're only there to spam powers anyway so the loot box gear grind is a non factor

But the little doohickeys and widgets on some guns make you spam harder and/or faster so you can top the scoreboards in this cooperative game.

They couldn't be bothered with competitive MP, could they? Volus Vanguards vs Volus Vanguards would look like the Sonic game we never got.

So it was like ME3's combat with L4D's game modes?

Maybe I was too jaded because I saw the addition of MP as a waste of production resources combined with the fact that they forced you to play at least 15 hours of it to get the best ending in single player. Did everyone play it because it was fun enough and happened to be there, because it didn't seem to offer anything that games dedicated to multiplayer didn't already do much better.

I don't know, I feel about Bioware now like I felt about Blink 182 in college: they just didn't grow up with me and kept cranking out material for younger people.

Well, they made updates to where you no longer needed to play to get the 3 options.

But yes, it still fun and pugs are still really easy to come by 4 years after the game came out.

"Less hunkering" Are people still trying to do the old FBW farming? Or are they that concerned about people having an "easy" mode?

They've already said that you can romance/gently caress multiple people, and that on a per-character-basis they may or may not be fine with it.

Right, so it's like ME2's suicide mission, but instead of how many you can keep alive, it's how many you can gently caress. I'm going to go the FailRyder route of trying to get with the claustrophobic in the vents.

Oh no a child died on this planet, which is different from the rest of the loving devastated planet

I would have to be human though. If Shepard saw poo poo like that on Surkesh or Palaven, the dream sequences wouldn't have been as compelling if you were chasing after an egg.

Cythereal posted:

I'll probably go tech-focused if it plays like it did in ME3. It may not be the most efficient thing in the world, but my favorite way to play ME3 is as an engineer specced to max out drones with combat drone, auto turret, and defense drone, with overload, incinerate, and one point in sabotage for turrets.

So you want a sub-squad to your already existing squad? I can get behind fielding a small army.

Also, if it plays like ME3 did after the changes to tech explosions, just get Incinerate in there with a low enough cool down and (in theory at least) you could be wrecking poo poo as fast as adepts.

The only thing I'm wondering about is how long will it take the Russians to post game mechanics errors that lead to things like the Reegar cheese builds.

can it truly be Mass Effect without the vorcha

actually I bet the first DLC for this will be another Ark arriving with a bunch of panicked non-council races fleeing the Reaper war

Bringing along all the good guns with it. Want that Saber or Harrier again? $19.99 will make your shooty spaceman...shootier.

Drifter posted:

Mass Effect 3 keeps giving me loading screens about shooting swords out of people's hands and maybe their legs so they fall, but my Vanguard dash doesn't have anywhere near that kind of precision. Lame.

Doesn't matter, they [Phantoms] can still stab you with the sword stub. Use the Sword Vanguard or the Sword Infiltrator for decapitation funsies.

marshmallow creep posted:

Curious, but how many do you want them to let you bring? Three? Four? Literally everyone at once?

Because I'd be down for the latter if only to play the pathfinder like some Civil War general watching the battle unfold from safely behind the allied line.

3, a la SR style. You get to call squaddies on the go after you do their loyalty mission and you all pile into Mako 2.0 except for bone Krogan because he doesn't fit and will run after your vehicle at disconcerting speeds.

Doctor Spaceman posted:

It didn't affect me (because I played really regularly) but lots of my friends played much more intermittently and found it pretty frustrating.

Some of the basic human kits in ME3 (eg the Adept) only really became good after a few revamps. Singularity used to be pretty awful, for example.

The Human Sentinel was a better Adept at the start.

You can see for a split second that the body is starting to fly off into the sunset

But that should turn the trooper into paste, like what happens with the Warlord's heavy melee. The Krogan Backhand Bitchslap is what throws them across/off the map.

Also, Krogan Vanguard with Nova and a bitchslap? It's miles better than ME3 already.

I get the feeling the Remnant we deal with are literally the mechanized detritus of a lost civilization more than the civilization itself, and Mr. Archon is a mad treasure hunter who thinks it the equivalent of the Spear of Longinus or the Ark of the Covenant. Perhaps the original creators died out, or perhaps they moved on, but their trash is shiny and we like very much.

So, they're like the Prophets of the Covenant from Halo? Yay.

There's a sounding joke in there somewhere

The only thing I want to know about the ME A multiplayer is what race class combos are going to be in from the jump. Also if we're going to be able to equip melee weapons to our Multiplayer character like the Single Player character. I'd love to be some sneaky sneak assassin and then pull out a giant gently caress off hammer to smash dudes

Only if there's a tiptoe animation for the Krogan holding it.

Aren't Vorcha like massive sentient bacteria colonies or something? They gross.

You're confusing them with the Lekgolo from Halo. They're basically walking stem cell factories that help them heal and adapt.

Man, I'm going to miss their Wolverine-style slashing grabs if they're not in the multi.
