I'm playing Mass Effect 1 and I broke down crying. They don't make games this good anymore.
>>728964257I'm trans btw
>>728964494nvm i'm a brown male again
>>728964494>>728965060seethe faggots
>how mass effect BROKE me (4:33:07)
>>728964257Why what sad thing happens in ME1? the only think I got annoyed about was the BdtS ending. I think that's the only place in the whole game with a hard decision
>>728964257How could you cry about anything?Mass Effect 1 story was such a mediocre slog. Negative emotional impact.
>>728964257>They don't make games this good anymore.They legitimately don't anymore.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R_NAoNd4YyY
>>728965549>mako shit
>>728965430How the hell is letting terrorists go a hard decision? Hell, I wouldn't have let them go even if they weren't filthy Batarians.
>>728965430>>728965491Reading comprehension fail. We need to firewall the third worlders from the internet.
>>728965585More like Mako PEAK.
>>728965549It filtered MILLIONS.
>>728965597you're a faggot from some third world shithole like yurop>>728965593you can either save the people or kill the batarian but you can't do both
>>728964257>They don't make games this good anymore.factually true. i weep for what we could have had
>>728965783>more mako shit
>>728966058shut up, filtered brownoid
>>728964257It was ok. I can see how someone would find it mind-blowing back when it was released, but in hindsight it was a vanguard for bad dialogue choice mechanics and shitty romance in RPGs. Also most of the aliens don't look that cool and the Asari are a race of writer's pets. I was glad to let the council ship get blown up
>>728966221You say all that dumb shit and then you finish it off with something based like "I let the council ship blow up"Asari is peak design. WTF kind of faggot hates a race of sexy hot babes that want to fuck you? You are trans, 100%. Only a trans would see gold and mistake it for shit in their warped diseased minds.
>>728965593>>728965816>you can either save the people or kill the batarian but you can't do bothThe Batarians are trying to destroy an entire colony and kill hundreds of thousands of people. You can't let them get away. Even on a Paragon playthrough that's one of the most logical Renegade decisions in the game.
>>728966114I played ME1 multiple times and my nedt playthrough im going to use a save editor to mark all mako shit as complete. Useless chore shit and ME2 is better.
>>728966481Trannies love Asari because they're perverts and they imagine they all have giant futa cocks.
>>728966493Even on my Paragon playthroughs, I still always go about 10% Renegade because some scum simply deserve a bullet to the head. Sometimes they are just too dangerous to let go, it's better to deal with them here and now then to let them regroup and re-terrorize the galaxy.
Mass Effect was the normalfagslop of its time, I remember /v/ in 2012 shat all over this series for being story obsessed and casualized
>>728966481I thought that was her ass at first
>>728966520Why are you admitting to being such a shitter? Did the Halo warthog filter you too? Are the current captchas on 4chan difficult for you too?
>>728966606same, the beauty of Mass Effect is that being a good guy 90% of the time never stops you from going "nah fuck this shit I'm killing this faggot"
>>728966705The mind is a beautiful and dangerous thing
>>728966493>>728966606>just let the scientists die bro you can shoot him in the third game
I have been chasing this particular feel ever since
>>728967083I'd rather have a few dead scientists on my conscience than a living Batarian terrorist (redundant).
>>728970295
>>728970474
>>728970534
>>728966613the mass effect seethe was over 2 and 3, not 1. ME1 was janky enough with enough useless "rpg elements" like +2% force and +3.45% damage to synthetics that retards considered it hardcore>>728970295Isn't one of the guys the lady you've been talking to for the last hour or however long the DLC is's brother?
>>728967594I liked ME2 but it's a shame that ME2 feels like some joss whedon scifi tv show shit where as ME1 feels like your playing those short anthology scifi books from the 40s-70s that were later used to make episodes of the twilight zone
>>728966520Me2 was filled with the same trash if not worse. most quests that weren't a companion quest were shit. lmao at anyone who did the hammerhead missions or the mech escort bullshit
>>728970628>bald ShepardYou should be banned from playing Mass Effect, like it should be a law: "If retarded bald Commander Shepard anon plays another Mass Effect again, he shall be banished to india and forced to live there, forever."
>>728970971most of the hairs are retarded
>>728965379Kek
>>728971001You're not wrong about that. But still, bald Commander Shepard is a capital offense, it should be punishable by banishment to either the shittiest/brownest part of india, or the rapiest/blackest part of nigeria.
>>728970971>>728971107
>>728970474>>728970534>>728970628If this low level persuasion works on you then you deserve to be tricked.
>>728971504But I did kill him.
>>728971576Oh ok, I thought you saying you let him live because "ohhh there's just so many of them... why even bother? There's no hope!"Killing every single cockroach counts.
Why did Jennifer Hale stop appearing in voice acting roles? I miss her voice (FemShep). I feel like if I play any 2000s era game, I hear her voice and it's very comfy for me.
>>728972129She didn't. She was just in Ratchet and Clank and Midnight Suns in major roles.
>Saves Mass Effect 2 from being a complete waste of timeYou're welcome.
>>728970971If you play anything other than default maleshep I will think less of your opinions. Custom femshep being the opposite of that just means I ignore you completely. If every poster in ME threads had to attach what their Shepard looks like following this rule would instantly improve all discussions tenfold
>>728972701Lead by example.
>>728972701Gothmommy Shep = Best Shep
>>728972853
>>728972129What are you talking about, she was Bayo in 3 three years ago
>>728972912Low key? Cap
>Gothmommy Shep = Best Shep
Why do Asari like to fuck in pink bubbles anyway? Do they think humans are gross for doing it in their beds rather than having designated sex furniture?
>>728964257MIND OVER MATTER
Apart from the Mako stuff, it was one of the best RPG games of its time.Choices mattering. Well developed characters.Good enough combat. Amazing zones to get into.
>>728973013We've been low-key far before you were born, zoomy boy,
>>728973138If playing as a female confuses you then you are the one struggling with something, tranny.
>>728973265>Including the Mako stuffFixed and agreed.
>>728972129She wasn't bad, but holy shit she didn't improve much during the whole trilogy. Meanwhile Mark Meer starts off incredibly wooden then grows into the role that he plays Shep far better than she did by the end.
>>728973356Mako was fun for the first 3-5 planets.After that it's close to ubislop of 'go here go there' fetch shit.
>>728973410I played the prologue of ME1 as maleshep and femshep, and continued as femshep because she was the stronger voice actor.I have since replayed as default maleshep as well, and yes, he gets good by ME2.
>>728973434My honest advice for people playing ME1 for the first time is to not do all the side stuff. That's the one blemish ME1 has and it's not because of the Mako, it's because the side missions are the same thing over and over again but with a different planet + new skybox. If you only did like 30-40% of the side missions and then beat the main quest you'll have finished a very satisfying game.From what I understand though, ME1's development was practically bankrupting Bioware at the time, so they just couldn't flesh out every single aspect of the game to the fullest it could have been (which is what makes ME2 even more tragic since they decided to scale down the scope of their game rather then improve upon it).
It's funny how you get a Ukrainian squadmate in ME1 but now I don't there's going to be a Ukraine anymore haha
>>728974335he's from Vancouver so he's probably the descendent of an SS officer who escaped from the Soviets in the aftermath of WW2
>>728973860>missing out on kino
>>728965379>Mass Effect Story Analysis Part 1 of 32 (6:21:40)
>>728966481The problem is that the asari you chose to represent a race of hot, slender, and graceful women is the only one that's ugly, fat, and autistic.
>>728978534And voiced by the infamous Ali Hillis.
>>728978641She's pretty awful.
>>728978814At sex.
>>728964257I don't know what they were thinking with the sidemission exploration on these empty planets. Even with the Mako boost from the remaster, it doesn't really make it any less empty and kind of boring.On a sidenote, I finally tried the games on Insanity and it's honestly not that hard to my surprise. Maybe it's because I finally tried it on PC instead console, but it's kind of easy to kill everything with the sniper rifle. I was surprised when I was able to beat the Matriach Benezia boss fight on my first try.
>>728978885And acting.
>>728977872Worse, it's not even an analysis. I watched some of those vids once because I wanted to know what others thought of a game story, what they liked and didn't like. Instead it was just people reading the script/wikipedia word for word, describing only the superficial aspects.
>>728970971I am playing as Conrad.Verner's clone/more sucessful brother in my current playthrough and you have no imagination.
>>728979242This type of shit pisses me off. It's such lazy content. I was watching some guy talk about Guild Wars 1 and it started as a mildly interesting history lesson, then he starts explaining the story like a shitty version of a Let's Play, badly summarizing every quest event in sequence.
>>728966705I saw the same thing.
>>728964257Must suck to have standards that low.
>>728973410I blame the voice direction he was given in ME1, not the man himself. Mark is great at acting.
>>728980672Why would it suck? You get to enjoy more things. Ignorance is bliss.Having high standards means you don't enjoy any video games anymore because they're all objectively shit.
>>7289791451 is very easy and fun on insanity 2 and 3 are completely broken on though and the only way you can play is camping behind cover, it's absolutely dreadful because every enemy can delete your shield instantly while being a bullet sponge
>>728966520only the braindead consolefags ever complained about mako you still doubledown on it 15 years later for some reason
They had a multimedia franchise on their hands and then they ruined it
>>728964257They demonstrably do not, in BioWare's case.
>>728980968I had a pretty easy time as Soldier. Beat all 3 on Legendary. Did have to use cover all the time and I remember using the concussive thing a lot.
