The ultimate debate
>>722918612There's no debate, nobody played femoid Shepard but mentally ill reset era trannies and dyke fetishist redditors. The whole "I HATE MALE VOICE ACTORS" is a tranny talking point because they outright just hate men's voices.
>>722918612>one is a unique face that looks better than any other human>funny voice acting>the other is a generic custom character with no unique traits>dull voice actingHmm I wonder which I should pick?
>>722918725/thread
>>722918612Zero debate. You can look at the marketing switch from Male Shep to Female Shep and see where Bioware died.
>>722918725>64% soldierThat's kind of nuts. I'd always assumed Sentinel or Adept was the most popular.
>>722918612Male Shep and it's not even close.
>>722918725>soldiersnormalfags sure are boringinfiltrator and vanguard are deifinitely the most fun depending on your playstyle
>>722918936Soldier was always the class advertised and nobody wants complicated or lame "space magic powers" that have zero relevance in the story and just make some enemies float.
>>722918936>wtf is an adept? wtf is a sentinel? I'll just go soldier
>>722919001> Making the already mary sue Shepard an even bigger mary sue with super chosen special magic powersNo thanks.
>femshep>adept if you do either of these you're no different than ugly bitches just now playing through the games in the big 25 on narrative
>>722918612>very clear choice>4chan: the ultimate debateWhy are we like this?
>>722918612Children picked M*le because they wanted to be le space marineAdults picked Female for the better voice acting
>>722919047I played sentinel because I thought shepherd should have a little bit of everything.Then I learned I was pistol bitch the whole trilogy.
>>722919389>listening to voice acting>not goth metalngmi
>>722919389>Adults picked Female for the better voice acting
>>722919421Carnifex my beloved....
>>722919389I was 23 in 2007 when the first game released.There is only one Shepard.
>>722918612>((((debate))))lollmao even
>>722918725Do we have a statistic for CP2077's V?
>>722919389>Better VAI love how femshep trannies pretend Mark Meer being kinda mid for the first game of the trilogy justifies playing as Hale who literally only knows how to do two voices for the entirety of the trilogy.
>>722919471Great gun, I got sick of having 6 shots fast though.Infiltrator was my favorite, one tap everything with the widow
>>722919467>>722919483>>722919547Good morning sir
>>722918725>2nd most playedInfiltrator chads we can't stop winning
>>722919608>>Good morning sirI am a sir. Thank you for showing me the proper respect.
both shepards will be at a con later this month, maybe I should go.
>>722919467>name is suleiman>becomes a trannygrim.
i like to pretend to be a girl in video games because most video games dont let me pretend to be a cute boy and a cute girl is the next closest thing
>>722918725>femoid>trannies>dyke>tranny againcouldn't you fit any more incel buzzwords into that post?
>>722919519the cope is different thoCPfags who pick fem V complain it's because they cant romance Judy as a dude, which is a valid reason because Judy is fucking hot
Yup, time for another exciting and totally different playthrough of the trilogy!>Male>Paragon>Vanguard>Exclusively TaliFUCK I DID IT AGAIN.
>>722919734this is an incel board you touristgo back to Xitter, fuck off with your cultural colonization
>>722919148>NO I CAN'T HAVE FUN BECAUSE THAT WOULD BE TOO OVER THE TOP FOR ME IN MY SPACE ALIEN MAGIC SCI FI GAME
>>722918725FPBP
>>722918612Because im not gonna play some bald ugly "tough" guy. Female shepard looks and feels more human as main character.
>>722919148These powers make killing Batarians more efficient. I can't refuse them.
I finished the games with botheach of them have their moments, I wouldn't put one as vastly superior to the other
>Implying it's a maleshep vs femshep debate instead of a maleshep vs. giving Garrus more screentime and scenes
>>722918725>because they outright just hate men's voicesThe protagonist speaking reminds them that they are male. They are incapable of separating themselves from the character they are playing.
>>722919519CP2077 has an objectively best protagonist option though (femV with penis)
>>722921068i'll never understand futafags
>>722920584I fucking kneel. Commander John Shepard, my bloody hero.
>>722918612Paragon MaleShepRenegade FemShepI am right, dont debate me
>>722921198It's just proto-trannyism.
>>722921362This is exactly the right way to play the game.Also, Boyscout is a Soldier and Queen Bitch is an Infiltrator. Leave the space magic to those dirty Xenos.
>>722921554
>>722921198It fits the setting well.
They made all the human women ghoullish and annoying just so you would be pro-alien.I'm literally forced into mass producing blueberries
>>722920091Trannys are not human.
>>722920584I can't believe Shep would raid the Quarians
>>722918612never played the game before, i had no idea the character on the left even existed but i've seen plenty of male shepard before.
>>722918612There's no debate. It's the left. They modeled the face after a real person. The right is just generated trash like the NPC characters. They pushed for femshep because 3 is written by a massive faggot who ruined the series (who went on to become the director of Andromeda)
>>722921362This. Sheploo for saving the galaxy in a canon playthrough, FemShep for dooming it in a funny what-if. This is how I've always replayed the franchise for over a decade and I won't be changing anytime soon.
>>722921910I'm certain my beloved wife Tali will convince the Geth to make a Project for every Asari relay.
>>722918612I finished the trilogy multiple times with both and it's male Shepard.
>>722919806Holy based
>>722919806>Vanguardyou mean engi>Exclusively Talii keep trying to go for her but always go for miranda instead
>>722926029I haven't been able to force myself through 2 and 3 more than once yet.
>>722926374Tali is the girl next door. Miranda is the woman that makes you move on from the girl next door.
>>722927043Are there mods to fix her face?
Jennifer Hale acted circles around whatever random hobo they dragged in off the street to voice Manshep.
>>722918725/thread and behead all agp trannies
>>722927043An infertile woman is no woman at all.
>>722927584did you mom stop being a woman when menopause hit?
I'm not a fag, of course I played as a girl to stare at her ass and cute face in conversations
>>722927459t. Jennifer Hale
>>722927907Yes.
Femshep marry Garus everything else is non-canon
They probably should have addressed Liara stealing your memories in ME1 and using them to become some sort of warlord in ME2.
I played as both but MaleShep just feels more naturally ingrained to the story, especially with a humble Earthborn origin and surviving Akuze. But then that fucks the narrative of 2 since Shepard is forced to work for the fuckers who caused that tragedy in the first place. Femshep always struck me as more militant so having a Spacer background amongst military parents in a strict lifestyle and being a War Hero too at the SB.
>>722918612nah, the ultimate debate is: original game x legendary edition
>>722918725Why are gamers so boring? You could be playing vanguard teleporting around with a shotgun or throwing people into the air with adept yet they pick the boring assault rifle class?
>>722928338original game was better overall and had much better lighting. the only real upside to the legendary edition is the free roam camera to get good screenshots.
>>722928276i dont think anyone writing the main story of 2 thought out why shepard would work for cerberus, especially with that background
>>722918725at least 15% of that 18% are men playing femshep
>>722918725>released during the era of military shooters>white male soldjawho would've guessed
>>722918725My sister played female Shepherd and she's not a dyke.
>>722918612for me, its FemShep with Liara romance
>>722918612>distinctive model male face who resembles the doc from lost tv showvs>dyed hair dyke who is supposed to look like some actress (but they botched it)
>>722928338See >>722919518
>>722928338>playing a demaster or demake of anykind Theres no arguments to be had. If you support some tired rehash with “better” graphics YOU are part of the problem.
>>722919806Paragon is for Jack. Renegade for Tali.For FemShep it's Garrus and Garrus.
>>722919806earthborn or colonist?
>>722918725btfo
>>722921362This, especially in ME2. I love stone cold bitches.
>Are you certain you'll get all those 4 eyed freaks? I need proof.
>>722928509>the only real upside to the legendary edition is the free roam camera to get good screenshotsEven that you can get in the original via the UE3 developer console
>>722918612Male Shepard who goes Renegade is the only correct choice. You get to bang>Liara>Ashley>Tali>Miranda Meanwhile femshep gets to bang>a bug>a nigger>literal whoAnd anyway playing a female super soldier who’s humanity’s ace in the whole is fucking retarded. War is a man’s world and having women be the front and center is absurd.
>>722929590Earthborn for that line on eden prime. Always found it funny they found shepherd with an urban outreach program
>>722918725fpbp
>>722927987t. whatever the fuck the other guy's name was, since nobody gives enough of a shit to remember it
>>722918725FPBP. You see the same empty platitudes when there's a male vs female variant option where for some magical reason the female voice actor is always better. They put the cart ahead of the horse - they want a female lead, they want to be female, so they will always make it out that femshep has better voice acting, femhawke has better voice acting, cassandra has better voice acting, wowee zowweee apparently men can never voice act!Lookit, we got one of them in the wilds! >>722919389
>>722918725Just as God intended.
>>722930751I picked the male option in every other game you listed, but you cannot convince me that female Hawke's voice is anything other than 10/10 cute.
>>722918725>Vanguard in the third placeDamn.
>>722919389Troon.
>>722919389
My last playthrough was Sentinel, Sentinel, Engineer. What should my next be?
>>722918612Male shepherd to fuck alien womenFemale shepherd to fuck a human shotaSimple as that
>>722918725>>722930751You're so right, anon. We should remove all choice in games and just leave it up to what statistically is most often selected. Oh, players often miss the cool hidden shit? Axe it. Choices mattering? How about one choice. Fuck even making an ending, our metrics say that most players don't even get there anyway!
>>722930751They do that because is the only "argument" with a shield. What? you prefer the male voice actor? Isnt that kind sexist / incel can't watch a strong woman / misogyny, whatever. And in the last couple of years you have the indian 'defence': >>722919608.
>>722931971
>>722918612I'm a straight white male. I will always go with the default manshep and any deviation feels like black aragorn.
>>722931670>Evan UrquhartEvery time
>>722919389>Adults picked Female for the better voice actingShepard is essentially a delta operator turned ship admiral and both of those have a VERY specific way of straight to the point monotone talking. Male and female.Malesheps default appearance and Meer's voice actor come across as a tightass who organizes his underwear drawer and plans his day all the way down to the smallest detail.Hale sounds like she's trying to ham it up like a 1980s action movie heroine. If you ever talk to high ranking navy women they sound like Meer, not Hale. Meer sounds like a military tightass and it perfectly suits the character of Shepard, Hale sounds like a jedi consular.I don't think her work is necessarily bad, it just doesn't fit the character as much as Meer's.Hale also has some really weird gaffes throughout the trilogy in which it feels like she spoke her dialogue without having a clue about the context. Like when she screams MOVE OUT into Ashley's face when they're face to face in ME1, and it's clearly not supposed to be voiced like that. Or the conversation with Joker about the war, just look at how much better male Shepard is:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Er1n81JoRQhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZY136KbNVQQHale is a bit better only in ME1 because the VA has more raw talent. But in a lot of ways Meer is just better for the role, ESPECIALLY in ME3 where he blows Hale out of the water.
>>722932845For me, it how they didn't sync Shepard's "big, stupid jellyfish" animation for FemShephttps://youtu.be/skg2kkCykGE?t=189https://youtu.be/GxGB_GUWhi0?t=13
>>722918725Engineer being the least chosen class isn't surprising but who the fuck plays soldier especially in the first game where shooting is abysmal?
>>722918725>white male soldieryep it's gaming time
>>722918612Female Shepherd is more interesting to look at and looks more heroic.
>>722919389>better voice actingwhy is it always this excuse? same for cp and ac odywhy aren't groomers more creative?
>>722922463
>bumps his shitty pic because nobody reacted to itQuite sad, really
>>722936284I'm talking about this pic btw >>722922463
>>722935179Soldier is the default choice and it is the only class that can use the aim button with assault rifles. It's the normie class.
>>722919261>implying females are adept at anythingThey should have had a dishwasher class for femshep.
>>722918725Yeah this debate is the most astroturfed shit and it's been going on since 2010I can't take female military commanders seriouslyEven in fictionKnowing too many irl and how they act just clashes with how they are portrayed in games and mediaIf Mass Effect was realistic femshep would say she was pregnant every time the Alliance planned to send her out on a mission
Why do people think the dark energy subplot being the reason for Reapers' reapening is stupid?
>>722919389>playing video-games with audio turned onLol
>>722918612Male Shepard, built for futa Asari cocks
>>722936634Not all of them get knocked up right before deployment.Some of them go on deployment and then spend the entire time getting dicked by the guys that won't give them attention when they're in the real world.
>>722919806Yup time for my 5th playthrough.
>>722919389You will never have a feminine voice
>>722918612in my canon shepard is female and she only fucks alien men
Male if you are male, female if you are female
>>722936761>>722409007
>>722921362That's how I play all rpg'sVirtuous ManEvil WömanJust like life.
>>722918725>64% soldier LMAO 80% of those are 14y old boys.
>>722938078wasnt the whole point that reapers harvest to gain the knowledge of the harvested species to solve the problem?
>>722939238>gain the knowledge of the harvested speciesSo to stop dark energy from killing everyone, they leave around the dark energy mass relays for everyone to make use of, don't tell them who they are or what they're trying to stop, then every 50k years harvest everyone, learn nothing, and countless millennia later to such a degree that Shepard's cycle is the second to last one or thereabouts before the entire universe as we know it ends from dark energy misuse, they've still not achieved a single breakthrough
>>722939525not arguing its not retarded.we see it in the plot around Tali in ME2. quarians figuring out why the star is dying and then boom, reapers wipe out everyone anyway.
Mark Meer has a great voice outside the game. But as shepard he's so monotone
>>722938494And they each have more testosterone than every animetroon combined.
>>722939525>>7229402791% of the galaxy being explored means it was at least somewhat contained compared to letting species extend the entirety of the galaxy. Plus resetting so that the universe heals for 50k years makes it slightly less retarded. Still sounds better than Leviathans not just straight up ending the Reapers with a backdoor they left in the citadel. Honestly it just means the Leviathans were retardedly short sighted and the Reapers were just a lobotomised version of them, who are at one point a fusion of organic and mechanical and just mechanical at other points.
>>722918612This is literally the only RPG outside of Witcher and CP77 where male voice actors completely mog female ones
>>722939525>>722940476would make more sense if the reapers just return to check out if species just use the effect for subjugation or actually try to study it and how to stop dark energy destroying stars.wipe out the useless races and shield the ones that are actually useful.but alas, then they wouldnt be the bad guys anymore.
>>722921362>>722921554>>722921753Holy based
>>72291861290% went with body type A (penis)
>>722919608>if you disagree with me you are Indian
>>722918612Me? I played as femshep because I was a 12 yo boy and wanted to goon to the lesbian sex scenes
>>722927584Not true. Mac Walters stated specifically that all LIs can reproduce with Shepard.Source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8uvph7XxGY8
>>722927459Jennifer Hale is a damn good VA, and she is level headed enough to reign herself in against woke-ism, she did it recently, during the whole VA strike thing with Genshin, but she is not a good enough reason to play femshep. Especially when this is femshep.
>>722918725As I fucking thought. On the internet it makes it seem like she's hugely popular, but she's not. Goes to show how perception can be easily changed. Also, men not playing as men are fags, full stop, doesn't matter the cope. There is a metaphysical constant that denotes action and movement/existence for lack of a better term that we share biologically. There is also an inherent coolness to men that we deeply understand. Women feel the same connection with other women, but they and us can never understand each other because while we seem to be the same, we aren't.
>>722928087No, this is canon.
I was gaslighted into playing femshep as my favorite vidya reviewer said her voice acting was better and that maleshep's VA was horrendous (I'm ESL and wouldn't have noticed shit)
>>722932845I'll give you this one though
>>722919764She's annoying af in the game.The whole character was created for troons at CDPR to self insert. She's too transcoded. 1. Into generate porn2. """lebsian""3. Is a hacker (that what loonix trannies think they are)4. Looks and dresses in line with modern reddit punk sensibilities
>playing as a woman when you're the ultimate badass space captain everyone respectsmy suspension of disbelief only goes so far
>>722941553>the lesbian sex scenesHow disappointed were you?
>>722942229True, and things like headbutting the krogan to get respectJust doesn't work with a woman
>>722927459You either get:>Passionless disinterested woman voice for Paragon>Passionless, disinterested, bitchy woman voice for RenegadeWowzers!!!11 So much talents!
>>722942265I did both the counselor (or whatever her name was) and Liara in ME1 and I think I reloaded both saves every night for a couple of weeks. It was a different time. I was sad I couldn't have sex with the Club owner in Omega in 2, though. Never played me3
>>722942335yeah every bro moment goes out the window. you literally fuck garrus.
Sheploo just works.
>>722942501>disinterested, bitchy woman voice for Renegadeyou say that like its a bad thing
>>722932312Any relation to Fargus? How many Urquharts are there in video games and video game related media?
>>722940745Yeah, ME1 had some nuance to things sometimes. ME2 had Legion talking about racism by mentioning it as treating one race by the standards of another. Then ME3 just had to double down on simplifying everything into black and white after ME2 started it.
If male shep is so popular why did they stop making generic mcs?
>only played me1 with dubbing>same for me2, but they changed shepard's va>me3 didn't have dubbing for my language at all so I played in English>all 3 voices fit perfectly, and were much better than femshep's
>>722942858Because intersectional feminists thought they knew better, and they tanked the industry.
>>722942858Because they didn't want the male shep audience, they wanted the fem shep audience and look how that turned out for them
Is there anything, even remotely tiny, the legendary edition improved?
>>722943008The gunplay in 1 is better
>>722943056Maybe the Mako handles better, too.
>>722940476>1% of the galaxy being explored means it was at least somewhat containedDark energy is present in the entire universe, not just magically limited to our galaxy. Running out of time meant *everything* would've ended >resetting so that the universe heals for 50k yearsDoesn't sound like much compared with the quadrillions of years the harvesting has been going on >Leviathans not just straight up ending the Reapers with a backdoor they left in the citadelWhat backdoor?
>>722942858Finkbuxx
>>722918612Literally make a custom one? Who doesn't use the character creator?I prefer the Andromeda guy overall though. I don't remember his name but he was fun as hell to play as. He had a jetpack and cool custom weapons. He was faster than Shepherd and didn't have to stick glued to cover for 90% of the fight like Shepherd. And his powers controlled better.
>>722943008all the games are combined into 1 with all dlc included. was worth the $5 just for that.
>>722942540Nothing wrong with a brojob between friends
>>722943008File transfers are made easier and less glitchy
>>722918612The paragon options in these games are so cucked. They turn shepard into a council stooge. You sell out to a nefarious globalist intergalactic organization just so people will like you. Why the hell would I do that when I can destroy the council on a renegade shep? They will get who the galaxy needs, not who the galaxy wants. Such is life.
>>722942958jokes on them, the femshep audience also abandoned them.
>>722943657*laughs in Pinnacle Station*
>>722929050there's a mod that fixes that shit
>>722945507If I need mods to improve the experience regardless might as well just mod the originals whenever I do vanilla+ playthroughs (read: 90% of the time)
>>722918612Bioware already said fem shep was the canon one
>>722919148You can't fix gary stu writing, you can only rationalize it. A biotic would live longer doing what Shepard does, which makes soldier the more contrived gary stu choice in actuality.
>>722946096
>>722946401>Bioware already said fem shep was the c->>695320210 ACK!
>>722946665
>>722946753That's not Ash...
>>722946671Yeah your post got ACK'd sorry sis
>>722946858No, that's ass.
>>722947043I'm listening
>>722947073You might hear some leather creaking, but other than that, it's pretty silent.
>>722946863>he can't into the archive Newfag...
>>722943127>Dark energy is present in the entire universe, not just magically limited to our galaxy. Running out of time meant *everything* would've endedYeah the problem was that using mass effect technologies caused the problem to worsen>Doesn't sound like much compared with the quadrillions of years the harvesting has been going onThe harvesting is usually less than a hundred years, so at least 40-45k years of dormancy>What backdoor?Exactly. They built spoopy robits capable of destroying them and left no backdoor to destroy them.
Femshep because I'm a FAG.
>>722948448>the problem was that using mass effect technologies caused the problem to worsenThat's my point. Thus Dark Energy was also retarded>The harvesting is usually less than a hundred yearsI'm talking about all harvestings ever, ever since the Reapers started the cycles. Each cycle results in at least one new Reaper. How many Reapers do you see at the end of 2? How many do you see/defeat in 3? That's a lot of cycles, and they never managed to figure out the dark energy issue or even get close enough for them to give Shepard a hint of a solution>They built spoopy robits capable of destroying them and left no backdoor to destroy themShepard tells 'em as much when he talks to them. They were solipsistic to a fault, to such a degree they tell Shepard that nothing went wrong and they totally weren't BTFO just because the Intelligence is technically acting the way they told it to act, to a T
>>722918725I still don't understand why /v/ hates FemShep though.I get not liking some of the people that use FemShep, but I always thought she was one of the better FeMC options in vidya. Has enough lines sprinkled throughout the series to make using her feel different, unlike most games where choosing between the male or female protag has zero story impact.
>>722949582>the robots didn't rebel>we just took a billion year nap while they holobunga'd the galaxy every 50k years>this is still somehow dumber than Reapers focusing humans because they finally saw a break in the cycle with humans' research and demeanor being capable of finding a solutionI dunno desu, but I'm sad CERNiggers didn't find a way to jump timelines so we could check out the one where they went with that version so we could actually compare.
>>722948534Femshep 3 model is fucking ugly as fuck and its annoying how many digital smut producers continue to use and animate her ugly face.
>>722950173If I were to guess, is the gaslighting about her popularity, the constant push for her, the commercial promotion etc. It's like how a lot of people have come to dislike Liara, because of how heavily she is being pushed as Gandalf the Blue in the franchise.
>>722950173Dudes with fragile manhood think strong women endangers them as a man somehow.
>>722918612Hawke.
>>722946096That would be fine if getting the DLCs for the OG games wasn't a pain in the ass because not only they use some Bioware store, but that they are all at launch price.I rather buy the LE for $6 and mod it, which I was going to do anyway because all games, specially ME3, need mods to fix the glaring design issues they have.
>>722950678had the same opinionnow I cant get enough of her
>>722951118>That would be fine if getting the DLCs for the OG games wasn't a pain in the ass because not only they use some Bioware store, but that they are all at launch price.someone should tell him.
>>722951252Nta, but I have physically wretched at her appearance. I cannot jerk off to her, and she actively ruins any animation or pinup she is involved in, for me.
>>722950895maleshep + tali, femhawke + merrill, simple as
>>722951572>femhawke>da anything other than Origins in general
>>722918612It’s not a debate at all fem shep is an unironic fanfic self insert by comparison
>>722918725Engineer chads rise up.Kinda sucked in ME1, but was better in ME2 and absolutely crushed in ME3
>>722950173I don't hate femShep as much as I hate the very inorganic pushing of her and rewriting of narratives that I watched happen over the course of the 2010s.
>>722951337What, searching up some 15 year old torrent with 2 seeders?This is purely about convenience.

femshep just makes more sense if you're a straight manthink about it
>>722952053Just because you were turned off from the franchise by ME3 shitting up the story doesn't mean there wasn't a narrative of the trilogy that changed with time. I remember in 2010-2013 when it was just assumed by everyone by default that male Shepard with Mark Vanderloo's face was the de facto real Shepard. Female Shepard in particular was considered an awkward alternative option, especially noticeable with how awkward her body animations are (because they're using the skeleton/mesh of a bigger more muscular body) and because a lot of Shepard's animations seemed tailormade for the male VA's delivery. It's only in the mid-late 2010s when the troons started finding out about Mass Effect that the rewriting of history started and a loud minority started claiming femShep was always the real choice. You could go to the twitch streaming section and always find 50 rainbow haired lesbians religiously replaying as femShep.
>>722952181No, you get the LE and then install the lighting mod.There's also a mod to restore Pinnacle Station but that DLC is terrible.
>>722952286All I remember back then is people competing to make the ugliest Shepard possible.
>>722952301>>No, you get the LE and then install the lighting modNeck yourself
>>722952301sounds like an awful lot of clicks to me and not convenient at all. but whatever.
>>722952154It's the correct word for the situation. Then after they forced FemShep despite the polling, they rejected the second poll and chose the redhead over the blonde. Big Brother is in the thread with us now posting that SOVLLESS readhead.
I want to be a dwarf sized Hanar and live permanently inside the suit of a Quarian woman, bathing and drinking in her juices and protecting her from cooties in return.
>>722952443Newspeak isn't the correct option for anything when there's a perfect existing way of saying it.You do because you unironically go to Twitter, as such, you speak like a blue haired nutjob.
>>722952424No thanks>>722952429As opposed to searching up a torrent that will download the games at 50KB/s, and that will need to be modded anyway because it doesn't even have controller support?
>>722952529
>>722952676>will download the games at 50KB/snigger, are you still living in the year 2000?>because it doesn't even have controller support?figured you were a fucking normie or console nigger
>>722952286>a lot of Shepard's animations seemed tailormade for the male VA's deliveryWhat? The game has no facial animations, Shepard has a deadpan expression no matter the situation.
>>722952676>No thanksOh, but I insist.
>>722952769>nigger, are you still living in the year 2000?Do you understand how torrents work?You really think there's going to be many seeders for games that are close to being 20 years old?>figured you were a fucking normie or console niggerNo, I just replaced my PC with a Steam Deck.
>>722952786Not facial animations.
>>722952786Obviously the animations it did have, for the skeleton as a whole. Not specifically facial animations.>>722952604>controlling languageActual Nazi tactics. Go print out some twitter screencaps and burn them or something, I don't really know what goes on there.
>>722952932And replacing existing words with new ones just for the sake of appeasing political correctness is Ingsoc-tier.
>>722919001>not going ME1 Soldier -> ME2+3 Vanguardit's like you can't even into ludonarrative synergy
>>722952914>You really think there's going to be many seeders for games that are close to being 20 years old?you dont need more than 1 seeder who uploads at 30mb/sec. thats how torrents work faggot.
>>722953052Right, and what word would that be?Also post some Mass Effect memes or something.
>>722953187And what kind of people do you think seed old ass games?It's always slavs and spics with terrible connections.
>>722953240>Right, and what word would that be?Fragile = pussy.Gaslight = manipulate>Also post some Mass Effect memes or something.No, I hate this Aliexpress Star Wars.
>>722953276no, its some warez obsessed autist with a seedbox and top internet.
>722953351>posting in thread about the thing he doesn't like>doesn't even understand the nuance between two different wordsManipulate is if they tried to get people to play femshep. Trannies who were always going to do it did it, the people they tried to persuade FemShep was canon choice just left the series. Mostly because of how hard ME3 ending bombed, but still.>>722953276There's literally a whole archive out there for preserving old media and you get 1-3MB/s. Granted it's not fast but it's serviceable for old games that are a few GB max.
>>722954261So they manipulate people to convince them that femshep is canon, just like they manipulate you into speaking like them.
>>722918612I've never once played female Shepard. The protagonist of Mass Effect 1 2 and 3 is male and Andromeda is female, simple as
>>722954387It's the concise choice to describe a specific thing. You're literally butthurt over words on a screen.>>722954516I did it once, holy shit it was bad. Don't think I managed a full playthrough.Is there a mod that fixes Andromeda or did it get abandoned too hard too soon?
>>722918725I can believe Vanguard is third place.What I can't believe is that it's picked by less than 10% of the playerbase. How can you look at the class designed to get inside someone's anus and fill it with space buckshot and not be at least a little tempted? I get Commander Call of Duty Shepard being more popular, but how's the margin so BIG?
>>722918612Make a chad blonde male. Helps explain things
>>722954780There's mods for gameplay stuff and make pretty characters, but that's it.
>>722918612
>>722955617
>>7229556176 looks like that trapHawt
>>722955617Reminder blonde one won the poll.
>>722955472Damn if they had mods to make the Asari cute again I maybe would have replayed it.
>>722955809There are.
She is so attractive bros
>>722954839in 1 the classes arent very distinct. so you just pick shootan guy and take him through all 3 games.
>>722918936I went with soldier in ME3 after being some kind of pistol/sniper class in 1 and an engineer in 2 and it was just refreshing in its simplicity. Heavy armor and access to all weapons lets you unga bunga everything and it's way more satisfying than the goofy sci fi magic shit.
>>722918612I’d play femshep if my need to completely empty my balls into tali didn’t outweigh it
>>722918612Ugliest female MC until Tlou2 happened
>>722918612There is no debate. Everyone knows Jack Shepard, no one knows the other "thing"
>>722955953Literally all you have to do is get rid of that disgusting fucking greasy shine and they look way better.
>>722956623HIs name is Adolf Shepard. He died eliminating a devious, evil race from the galaxy. People for centuries named their sons Adolf in his honor.
>>722951971>>722952676Why do you squabble over a made up argument in your head? We both know there's plenty of OG torrents and repacks that aren't 2007 downloads seeded by two Indonesian farmers in their free time
>>722952053Retard
>>722957021>OG plays at 60fpsTerrible. Imagine playing poverty framerates.
>>722956747>>722955953Yeah but that's texture only. Can we get better models too?
>>722957190You mean the body?
>>722918725So why do they lie about femshep being popular then?
>>722957248Yes. The model is the shape, the texture is how it's coloured. I mean there's more to it but they still look like the chunky but funky second-rate cousins of the true Asari back in the milky way. Although it would fit the Asari to send all the uggos into another galaxy.
>>722918612Male shep gets a good looking face scanned head model and dialogue that ranges from acceptable to great throughout the series.Femshep gets a hideous face straight out of the terrible character creator and voice acting that sounds like Jennifer Hale was instructed to do her best impression of a retarded dyke trying to sound tough.
>>722955617Reminder making a poll was retarded to begin with because the default FemShep in the first two games was already a redhead so her suddenly being blonde or black would've been stupid
>>722956623>can't even get his name right
>>722957143I will accept the concession, fren
So why am I not allowed to play the remastered trilogy again?
>>722957303they hooked in a lot of women with ME2 and were trying to keep them around
>>722957679>talks about running a concessions stand out of nowhereCool story. Can I have some Goobers and a Coke?
>>722945507It still looks like shit and has loads of visual bugsJust play the fucking original you can mod it too look better than the Demaster texture wise
>>722957776>>722953240
>>722957776/v/ insisted it would flop and it didn't, same shit that happened with RDR2 and Doom Eternal.
>>722957776The remaster with mods is the best way to play. Get the Unofficial/Community patches, MELLO, LEUITM, and Myriad Pro Begone.
>>722957568Excuse me, I'm not Anglo + automatic words in my phone + John Sheppard from based Stargate Atlantis tv series
>>722957959COLOR reshade for all games too.
>>722918612Femshep was design to submit to massive Yahg, Krogan, and Asari cocks.
>>722918612What debate, Mass Effect is shit tier, a poor attempt at fusing Star Wars and Star Trek with not a single original idea that only lived for 5 years. Shit lasted as little as Disney's Star Wars, and it's telling the only discussion it sparked was waifu crap, what else are you gonna talk about? The dollar store version of the Force, or the ultra generic spaceship designs where not only every species just gets one design in different sizes, but they straight up forgot to show the ships of species like the Salarians?
>>722957776You can play whatever demaster you wish, Rajesh
>>722958264>Asari « cock »
>>722958370name another high budget space captain rpg with fully voiced dialogue

>>722958462Picrel.
>>722918936using magic is Liara and Tali's job, I'm just going to shoot things
>>722958264also batarian cock
>>722958673Good thing that, like batarians, femshep doesn't exist.
>>722918612Male-Shep, because I'm a straight/normal male who doesn't play as women because the whole point of an RPG is supposed to put yourself into the game, not someone else.Basically, if you play as a woman as a 'guy,' that means you're secretly gay and will, sometime down the road, troon the absolute fuck out and in that case, I eagerly await you going for a swing.
>>722918612I will play adept femshep and i will romance Liara, no debate.
>>722958840Uh, sweaty, self-inserting and playing the game as you is what NPCs do. Real sentient beings pick defaults and let the world happen around them with little to no input from them, chud. :3
>>722958840No disrespect to Jennifer Hale, btw, she did a fantastic job as Fem-Shep (just as Mark Meer did a fantastic job as Male-Shep). But, the fact remains: Playing as a woman while being a 'guy' means you're so deep into the closet that you're finding Christmas presents. Just rope yourself at that point, please and thank you.
>>722958956>fantasticNo video game VA ever did a fantastic job. It ranges from bottom of the barrel to breddy gud.
>>722958943If your reply is sarcastic, I didn't laugh, you're gay. If your reply wasn't sarcasm, then you're gay and your opinion is irrelevant, so please rope yourself either way. Thanks
>>722918612Jennifer Hale vs some nobody generic male voice? Why is this even a question? FemShep has always been the patrician's choice.
>>722958996>brown faggot upset and jealous that his voice sucks >literally brown (once again)>unironically believes his opinion holds weight despite being brownI scoff anytime a brown/black thinks their opinion on anything matters.
>>722959023yeah if you have agp maybe

>>722954839Vanguard was baby mode class for oneyour immunity skill just rendered you immortal 2 also more or less gave it crutch in a form of shield regen3 just made them busted again, even better when you have 2 adepts setting up biotic combos for you
>>722959203Nobody still had AGP video cards when Mass Effect came out.
>>722956747The shine is a hint that they are trying their succubi mind control on you
>>722958996
>>722918725>64.59% soldierThat's the real crime right there, holy fuck some people just don't want to think
>>722959203I actually do have AGP but that was not a factor in this decision. Jennifer Hale is simply the GOAT when it comes to english female voiceover.
>>722959758Some people are heterosexual and don't play magic users.>WELCOME TO MY WIZARDING WORLD! I'LL LET YOU SLYTHERIN MY SNEETCH!Fuck all that faggot shit.

>>722960742Essentials:>Unofficial/Community PatchesGood general bugfixes that should be installed first. 1 and 3 are named Community Patch, 2 is named Unofficial Patch because of some retarded drama with it being a slightly different team or something, but they're all solid and stick to pure bugfixes. Get this if nothing else.>MELLO, LEUITM, LEUITM2Three mods for 1/2. MELLO fixes the borked lighting in the legendary edition, the two LEUITMs improve textures generally.>ALOT/ALOVThe go-to texture/video improvement mods, mostly obsolete in Legendary but does fix a couple minor autistic things.>Myriad Pro BegoneThis might just be my own autism talking, but I find this mod invaluable because it replaces the ugly ME2/3/LE font with the original font that was used everywhere in ME1, which gives the whole game so much more sovl. Highly recommend.>Genesis BegoneUndoes the shitty changes to the ME2 intro that the Genesis dlc made.>HUD EnhancementsNot super knowledgeable on this one but apparently it fixes a lot of controller/mouse issues people were having.
>>722957474Thought she was a brunette.
>>722960742>>722963456Other:>Pinnacle StationFor 1, remakes a dlc that was absent on PS3/Legendary because they lost the source files. I personally don't like it because it's poorly-designed challenges made by a team outside of Bioware that forces your Shep to act like a retard in order to finish the story, but it's there if you want it.>Eden Prime Red Sky Restored, Remove Feros Color FilterRestores the original look of Eden Prime and Feros.>Saren StagesUses concept art to restore cut content where Saren's appearance was going to change over the course of the game, kinda neat.>Diversification ProjectFor 1 and I think 3, adds a shitload more npcs and other ambient environmental shit in an attempt to be more lore-friendly and consistent in-between games, I haven't played enough to fully recommend it but worth checking out.>Take Earth BackAdds way more content to the endgame of 3, I haven't played it yet but heard very good things.>Charted Worlds, Galaxy Map TrackersMakes ME1 a bit easier to navigate.>Audemus' Happy Ending ModSelf-explanatory.>Citadel Epilogue ModTurns Citadel dlc into a post-happy ending mission.>LE1 Definitive Audio OverhaulAdds sounds from 2/3 to 1, I like this because I find 1's audio design really monotonous.>PrimitivesTexture overhaul focusing on faces. I actually hate the way this looks but loads of people seem to love it.>RetrofitsSeries of mods adding new enemy types and shit to 3. Don't know enough to fully recommend but looks neat.>Appearance Modification MenuAllows more character customization, particularly for 1. I don't really care about that sort of thing but there's a lot there if you want.Modding is a bit complex because you have to use two separate programs: ME3Tweaks Mod Manager for content mods, and MassEffectModder for texture mods. Install content mods first, then texture mods. Don't alter mods after textures are done. There's a google doc out there that explains more.
>>722918612These threads get such gay replies. Homos and spiritual women seem to love Bioware.
>>722963681I genuinely don't intend for this to be mean, but zoomers will never understand what it was like in those days. This massive political divide didn't exist. There was no woke, no chud, just nerds having fun. Mass Effect was one of those communities that was split pretty much straight down the middle in terms of people who realized how shitty Bioware was getting and those who were either drinking the kool-aid or in deep denial. And now it ends up in this weird place where leftoids hate it for glorifying police/military and rightoids hate it for having The Gay. But that sort of shit really just didn't happen when these games were made. Nobody gave a fuck, and it was beautiful, and we'll never be able to go back.

>>722919389Mass Effect was a throwback to the shitty 80s sci-fi movies. As such, Mark Meer's mediocre acting in ME1 was perfect for the setting. As the games started getting a stick up their ass and taking themselves more seriously, Mark's acting improved, and was a better option for the trilogy

Shepard belongs to Liara. They canonically embrace eternity and that's that
>>722918612BroShep. Them still trying to push FemShep as the face of the franchise is annoying, especially when they have hard data proving BroShep is played more in both OT and LE.
>>722989060They did the same thing with Cyberpunk. They only use the Female V for everything now.
>>722918725Because I'm a guy who self-inserted and wanted to Romance the chicks in the game. It's that simple. Anyone saying otherwise when they played Male-shep, they're lying to you.

I usually choose female when given the choice because coomer and nontranny related affinity for crossdressing.But usually male if theres romance options.Regardless, the viice performance of femshep (and fem v in cyberpunk) are among the worst performances in a AAA game ive ever heard.Its downright awful.My advice to libs is to genuinely choose your battles wisely. Dying on the femshep hill is retarded

>>722992445>asaris lifespan means they take far longer to do what other species do in shorter amounts of time>they spend centuries as mercs or strippers just because it's their equivalent of college years>Liara herself spent over 50 years in archeological digsites >...>but oh she's suddenly gone from an awkward nerd to a badass info broker in less than 2 years because muh Shepard >even if you had no relationship with her in 1 and ylj rescued her last so she was in your crew for a grand total of a couple weeks>God know ME2 needed MORE OC badass donutsteel characters

>>722994080>>722994359>no Mass Effect animated series that plays into this with both Shepards crossing paths and helping each other across the games plots
>>722995820That's some terrible fanfiction shit, bro.
>>722995820>Mass Effect show>it's animated, Clone Wars style>Meer and Hale still voice Shepard>it's one continuous plot but every episode flips between male and female Shepard and nobody in-universe draws attention to itKino
>>722994359Young Broshep looks so kino
>>722918725>nonnies still believing this obvious shoop
I would've played as FemShep but there's not a single good long hair style so I didn't. And also ME2 sucked so much I jumped off the train.
>>722996667It's the official stats for the original release of ME3 back in 2012. You can quite literally find the numbers with a single Google search.
>>722918725debunked>At the time of release of the above stats 39.8 % of people only imported save from ME2. Meaning around 60 % of those people picked just ME3 as their first game
>>722997245And you somehow expect the 40% to greatly favor FemShep magically, when that's not even the case a decade later with the LE as seen in >>722990516?
>>722994080So... Andromeda but not shit i guess

>>722997369You lost chuddy buddy
>>722997405Weak bait, fren
>>722918612Always played as maleshep, recently did a playthrough as femshep and actually really liked it, it has arguably better voice acting than maleshep too. The main problem is that it doesn’t have good human romance options and I don’t like the idea of interspecies with a guy that looks like a cricket and another one like a fish. Jacob has got to be the worst character in ME and is the only human hetero option other than Kaidan who I always kill on Virmire.
