Zikan posted:Andromeda is more fun if you interpret the whole project as a completely mismanaged theranos style start up disaster and all of the people who signed on being failsons /faildaughters, grifters, and the general idiots of society who would sign up for a colonization program that’s run like the worst Silicon Valley company. I thought you were describing making the game at first.

Soylent Pudding posted:Though there was the whole creepy Protheans apparently treating them the way Star Trek fans treat Thailand thing. I've always wondered how much of the Asari proclivity for interspecies reproduction is a result of a different kind of Prothean grooming. I’m sure I’ll regret asking but what’s up with Star Trek fans and Thailand?

UnderFreddy posted:True, which imo kind of sucks, because I really liked how they initially set up Closed Fist vs Open Palm. Too bad Yeah, it’s definitely a cool concept at first. Doesn’t take long to go off the rails into mustache twirling. I think I had one companion left, the demon, with me at the end after everyone either peaced out because I was far worse than the main villain or I killed them.

WrightOfWay posted:My only problem with ME3's weapon system is that powers usually felt a lot more powerful than guns (especially on higher difficulties where the damage of power combos increased with difficulty and weapon damage did not) so it was pretty much always better to just carry one for maximum recharge speed. Guns felt pretty powerful in the hands of Soldiers and Infiltrators and the Talon/shotguns on the vanguard felt pretty strong but otherwise yeah they were secondary on every other class.

To be honest, I’ve known there are mods available but never really been interested because the base games are so darn fun and good! I don’t even mind mass effect 2 loading screens because I think they look cool. Maybe an elevator speed up mod for ME1 but that didn’t even really bother me last time I played it a few years ago. I am excited about the remaster but have no real wants or expectations.

Bloody Pom posted:TBH even if Destroy wipes out the Geth there's nothing to stop the Quarians from just, y'know. Trying again, this time without attempting to genocide them when they achieve sapience. Plus it undoes all the weird Pinocchio bullshit they pulled with the Geth in 3. Its probably safe to say that Quarians, as a whole, would be opposed to creating new sentient AI beings. Maybe going out on a limb here but...

I'm doing a Sentinel don't give a poo poo about weapon weights run trying out the stuff I've overlooked over the years and goddamn the Venom shotgun is super rad. Salarians know what they're doing! The Striker is pretty funny too. And the Kishok harpoon gun is hilarious. So many good guns in this game.

Willatron posted:My most annoying glitch was where Shepard's head would lock onto Glyph in Liara's quarters during a cut scene where Glyph is floating around the room and settles in behind him, so Shepard looks all over the place mid conversation like a lunatic until he just converses with his head wrenched off to the side trying to look at Glyph who's right behind them. I don’t have a video but I just played through Omega and on one of the longer elevator rides, the elevator just stopped and Aria and Nyreen zoomed up into the sky like Poochie. Pretty funny. The looking at glyph bug always makes me laugh too.

Psion posted:Any of the Remanant or Kett guns are worth a try if "not in the original trilogy" is your key requirement, there's one kett pistol with homing plasma shots that's pretty fun. Angara guns never did much for me, same outcast. But the real strength is the mods you can slap into any gun to make it act totally unlike its base form, the full auto Valkyrie being my favorite of that type. I’ve been eyeballing some of those mods too. They look pretty funny like “turn into a beam weapon”.

Fuzz posted:Kaiden also rules and is the one normal and well adjusted squadmate in the series. He doesn't need Shepard to figure out who he is or get poo poo done, he's taking care of his own poo poo and is a pretty great person to begin with, amazingly enough, instead of a space racist hillbilly whose backstory is an allegory for the Confederacy. He’s also a much more useful companion in 3.

Who gives a loving poo poo about space-politics? I’m busy shooting endless streams of exploding nerf balls at bipedal hairless cats. In between crashes that is. Anyone else get a bug where it won’t load saves on planet H-047c (the planet with Vetra’s loyalty mission) ? I’m thinking I might just have to go through it in one go without reloading.

edogawa rando posted:ME3 has a lot of problems, for all the fun that it actually is. There's a game made up of really good bits, but at times, it can't stop getting in its own way, like the heavy-handed shift in how Cerberus acts between 2 and 3 (in all fairness, how they're portrayed in 3 is very much in line with what we saw in ME1). Mass Effect 3 does suffer a lot from the unskippable cut scenes and railroad tracks after multiple plays. I didn't really mind it so much the first time through though but I've played through the opening scene probably 25+ times. Still got a lot of love for it and even though 2 is strictly better, I'm more fond of it in certain ways. I do hope that whenever Mass Effect 4 or whatever comes out that they lean more towards the curated combat experience of 2 and 3 rather than the open world combat of 1 and Andromeda... fun though they are. edit: to report back on weapons in ME:A, the Dhan shotgun is really awesome and I shouldn't have been surprised it wasn't a traditional shotgun. I don't see myself switching off of the Krogan hammer any time soon although the Asari Sword and Cryo-Gauntlet are great. The real MVP is the weapon mods though. It opened up a whole new world of wacky fun. imagine dungeons fucked around with this message at 06:06 on Aug 21, 2021 |

Major Isoor posted:Speaking of the Quarians, seeing as I've only played through ME3 once I haven't been able to try this - what happens if you side with the Geth against their makers, then pick the destroy ending - thus wiping out the Geth? Does it touch on the subject of what happened in that region of space, at all? I don’t think they reference it again. On another note, the first time I played through and was romancing Tali and accidentally supported Legion during Priority Rannoch. What a bummer. ME3 goes after the feels on a lot of your dick moves. Like betraying Wrex actually made me feel like a bad person.

I like to think it's the former though Wrex just keeps tabs on Shepard because he knows that’s where the good fights are. Shepard.
