What went right? What went wrong?
Tali was a minor btw
Mass Effect 1 is the best, and the rest aren’t worth mentioning.
>>737537659ME3's ending, whatever happened there...
>>737537659Gay relationships were going to be in from the start with Kaiden. Now I don't think Mass Effect was ever good.It's just a space shooter for gays. Especially 2 and 3. 2 really ruined the franchise with gay relationships. At least the homo urges were restrained in 1. 3 was faggots on parade.What a shit show, Hudson.
>>737537659Shallow rpg with dudebro shooting that makes it a product of its time. The character writing is pretty good but it’s hard carried by it with big standard sci fi trope plotting ripped from episodes of TNG.
>>737537834>dudebro shootingAs opposed to what? Faggoty princess shooting?
>>737537857Cover shooters will never be real shooters, tranny
>>737537887Ok buddy, go ahead and name the little girl shooters you love so much.
>>737537659>What went wrong?Mass Effect 2
>>737538131Any successor of doom/quake. Gears of Snore successors were made for consoleniggers like you. You dated yourself, zoomtroon
>>737537659>What went right?The setting, lore, music, aesthetics, characters and story.>What went wrong?The gameplay, the story.The gameplay was never good. The first game was a janky 3rd person shooter with rpg elements. It played like shit and the mako drove like shit. What carried the series was the feeling of being the captain of the enterprise, getting to know the characters, listening to the soundtrack, soaking in the beautiful designs and discovering the intricacies of the setting. It's the action of Star Trek: TOS mixed with the character drama of Star Trek: TNG in a good blend. When the franchise was acquired by EA with the second game, the gameplay improved, but not significantly enough that it was on par with other contemporary third person shooters. Mass Effect 2 is nowhere near as smooth and satisfying to play as Gears of War. With the second game the story veered from intergalactic super sleuth space opera conspiracy to self contained action thriller. Though the tone and action set-pieces of the second game are well done, it felt at odds with the slower, more methodical, cerebral tone of the first. EA had tried to reboot the story for a wider new audience. Three was unable to fix the mess created by having these two conflicting stories in the same series and instead added new and confusing spiritual elements to the hard sci fi that had been built by the first two. The ending of the series is notoriously bad, it doesn't make any sense technologically in a series that has an in game lore book explaining every single piece of technology in detail, it retroactively ruins the story of the other two games and made a future for the franchise impossible by irrevocably destroying the "Mass Relays", the foundational element of the lore that makes intergalactic travel possible within the setting and is the franchises' namesake. It was a game with unlimited potential that was bought, turned into an action series, then shit on and flushed down the toilet.
>>737537659It was never great.Essentially the game revolved around companion interactions because the gameplay was lackluster.Eventually Tortellini decided they were paying their writers too much, and replaced their team with the likes of Hamburger Helper which made everything gay, and well it has been shit ever since.ME3 is even hard to look at.It is easier to talk about what went right, people really liked the characters, they carried the whole thing.Salarians did nothing wrong
>>737538549>doom/quakeThose are dudebro shooters. Like literally the most popular shooters of their era played by every dudebro.
>>737538559>cerebral toneI agree with the content but is this really the term you wanted to use? Not grounded or hard sci-fi themesFor example the game cared enough about it's world building to consider diplomatic relations which in turn made knowing your teammates fun.There is also the sex appeal, ME1 allowed lesbian relationships knowing it was hot, later HR intervened when we all knew why it was there.
>>737538614>Those are dudebro shootersWrong. Dudebro shooters were started on console with halo with frat party culture. Doom/quake was still niche and underground for sweaty nerds, as God decreed.
>>737537659>Your choices will matter! :D>Your choices don't actually matter. :(
>>737537857>>737538614>Those are dudebro shooters.Hi, millennial here. I hope you are doing well.However.No, Quake nor Doom are dudebro shooters.Dudebro refers to a timeframe more than a particular genre.It would be COD4, Gears of War and Halo.Those are dudebro shooters but not every game from 2007 is a dudebro shooter.Mass Effect took inspiration from cover based shooters that were gaining popularity and even those can be different in style and speed like how Gears of War is different than Uncharted.
>>737538808>>737538948No they aren't niche lmao. You fags are pathetic, sad, and delusional.
>>737537714Based
>>737538780Listen to the vigil theme, which was a major part of the grand finale then tell me cerebral isn't the right word. Listen to the bridge music that plays every time you open the galaxy map. Hell, watch the intro of the first game and tell me this isn't some heady no nonsense shit.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2a27IdajHUU>There is also the sex appealThat's a big part of it I didn't mention, the games included romances that spanned multiple games and the play was rewarded with brief softcore porn scenes for successfully completing romances.
>>737539034>no argument Back to the gacha 4 u, zoomnigger
>>737539034gaming as a hobby was niche back thenyou knew that ofcourse right
>>737539141I obviously mean relatively. Doom was not niche. Quake was not niche. Niche at that time were games like Thief. Doom and Quake are terrible btw, Halo is better.
>>737539034Anon, you clearly have problems learning how to read.Lazi AI response:No, Doom (1993) and Quake (1996) are almost never called "dudebro" shooters. That term refers to a specific wave of military-style games that came later. Instead, the 90s classics are generally categorized as "Boomer Shooters" or "Arena Shooters." The distinction between the two styles is significant in gaming culture:Why they aren't "Dudebro" ShootersThe term "Dudebro Shooter" is a satirical label for modern military games like Call of Duty or Halo (post-2001) that catered to a mainstream "frat-boy" demographic. Characteristics of a dudebro shooter include: Realistic Military Aesthetics: Gritty, real-world settings rather than abstract sci-fi or hellish dimensions.Regenerating Health and Cover: Pacing that encourages hiding behind walls instead of constant movement.Limited Arsenals: Usually only allowing you to carry two weapons at a time.Cinematic Focus: Heavy use of scripted cutscenes and set pieces rather than pure gameplay. What Doom and Quake actually areThese games are the foundation of the Boomer Shooter genre (a term that actually refers to their retro design, even though they were mostly played by Gen X). Their hallmarks are: Fast Movement: Survival depends on "twitch" reflexes and constantly dodging projectiles ("strafing") rather than taking cover.Maze-like Level Design: Non-linear maps filled with secret walls, colored keycards, and vertical puzzles.The "Bottomless" Arsenal: You carry every weapon you find (often 9 or more) simultaneously.High Skill Ceiling: Quake, in particular, is known as a "Thinking Person's Shooter" because it requires mastering complex movement like rocket jumping and strafe jumping. Duke Nukem 3D (1996) is occasionally debated because the protagonist himself fits the "hyper-masculine" parody that later defined the dudebro trope, but mechanically, it still follows the classic 90s "run-and-gun" rules.
>>737539170doom was one of the most popular games for PC it's true
>>737537857I think a CRPG would be better if they ever remake it. With the entire squad on the field.
>>737539170>Halo is betterWe already knew you thought that, consolebabby
>>737539045I would say inspiring is a better word than cerebral, it also reminds me to this theme:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gC5Tcfl2FNs&list=RDgC5Tcfl2FNs&start_radio=1Also yes I know it is ubislop but ubislop discussion is on the front page and I got reminded of this.Except ME1 uses synths to add to the futuristic feel.I guess Baldurs Gate 3 is more of a successor to that particular Bioware era.
>>737537659I see some people praise the trilogy as a whole singular entity even though I had issues with every new game, so I get gaslit into thinking I was too harsh on them, and then I go play the games again and by ME3 I want to shoot myself and wonder if everyone is crazy or if I'm just overly critical.Legendary Edition is trash btw.
>>737538586I really want to know how it went down after it was all over for the Council Races. Turians would've been alright, but the blue kikes and the frog kikes were probably mass genocided. Seriously I want to know what everyone thought of the Asari knowing the Reapers were coming but not saying shit for 50,000 fucking years. I bet blue heads were mounted on spikes after that.
>>737537659>What went right? Mass effect 1TaliTali being a minor>What went wrong?Mass effect 2 and onwards Tali not being a romance option in Mass Effect 1
>>737539323>consolebabbyPlayed it on PC.
>>737537714nice
>>737539265Which still makes it niche considering PC gaming in ‘93 was no where near the popularity of even early 00s PC gaming which itself was dwarfed by modern gaming. Opening the floodgates REALLY did change the culture for the worse
>>737537714Literally the best thing about her
>>737539386That doesn’t not make it a console game with controls and mechanics shaped around using a controller
>>737539170Doom was fine. Quake was really boring and I never got it, I was playing Jedi Knight instead.
>>737539365They're overrated for sure. Time has not been kind to them. The stilted animations, bug eyed character models, the extreme close ups to cover how awkward everyone moved in conversation, the entirety of the lore being in a codex with very little of it given exposition otherwise. It was very ambitious but IMO a TPS like that just wasn't the right vehicle for it. The world feels ridiculously small for what it's supposed to be. Most of your squad sits on the ship the entire game. No one does much of anything without Shepard's input.
>>737537659If they weren't retarded they'd ditch the space opera trilogy plot structure and make it a long running series like ass creed, we would be getting mass effect titles on a 2 yearly basis, bioware would still be relevant and EA be raking in money
>>737539517I still like ME1 despite its flaws because there isn't another space captain RPG in existence.
>>737537659>ME thread>look inside>doomtroon having a melty
>>737539373>I want to know what everyone thought of the Asari knowing the Reapers were coming but not saying shit for 50,000 fucking years.Nothing, That Asari pussy got them acting up.A race of alien chicks that take and crave seed as it comes, oh and are also Bi.They can get away with anything.
>>737539326>I would say inspiringAwe inspiring perhaps>I guess Baldurs Gate 3 is more of a successor to that particular Bioware era.Haven't played it but from what I've seen it has the same appeal. Gotta stop the big bad that's destroying the universe while getting steeped in the lore, deep character writing and sex scenes if you pick the right options in dialogue consistently all while having mediocre ass buggy gameplay that's trounced by the competition. I'd say BG3 is closer to being a DA: Origins of it's day but I'm just being contrary at this point.
>>737539564Certainly more entertaining than talking about Ass Defect
>>737539550Yeah it's still good it's just little things that get me. Like how everyone wears 1 of 3 hideous outfits or special warfare space armor 24/7. All the civilian outfits look like latex. The fact we didn't see 1 female turian, batarian, drell, salarian, volus, or krogan until 3. All the aliens share pretty much identical models. Everyone stands around blank eyed staring at walls or little glowing orange computer terminals. You see 1 hanar or elcor you see them all. It feels cheap and very small.
>>737539365ME3 is still the most disappointing game I've ever played. It just fucking sucks and redditors trying to engooden it can't convince me otherwise.
>>737537659>What went wrong?Mass Effect 2 kind of ruined the story and world in a lot of ways, even if the game itself is great. Honestly the whole Reaper story line is just kind of shit in general, then they went full retard with Cerberus in 3.The Reapers should never have been more than an existential threat and the invasion should never have happened.>What went right? Characters were great, the setting(mostly in ME1 before everything went full schlock) was great and felt pretty fresh at the time. Combat in 3 is genuinely pretty fun and smooth. Tali is peak waifu. Has had some great porn.
>>737539823I still can't believe they actually wrote Leviathan and it's still the absolute dumbest shit I've ever seen.>Yes we built the reapers muhahaha>yes they liked us all and weve been hanging out in this shit ocean for literally 1,000,000,000 fucking years>no we won't help muhahaha>this is all going according to plan!>oh you'll do the obvious and tell the reapers where we are?>well we didn't consider that at all>oh ok we will help you kill them now Fuck those fish niggers. Fuck whoever wrote that dumbass shit.
>>737539823Maybe because I never played it around release, but I don't get why it gets singled out so much compared to 2. It mostly just continues the shit inherited from that game, while making some improvements to the combat.Story is still just as retarded, RPG mechanics are still gone, planet exploration is still missing, choices still don't matter. It's all the same.
>>737540029People were delusional and still hadn't realized ME never really respected player choices. They'd throw seemingly batshit stuff out there like letting you blow up a few hundred thousand people in a DLC or die at the end of 2 then do nothing with it later. If they had actually made a canonical continuation where you have to make a new Spectre after Shepard died in the suicide mission I'd have respected them a lot more.
>>737540029I was someone disappointed by the downgrades in 2 compared to 1, but 3 is on another level of terrible.2 didn't have shit like Kai Leng, missions with zero exploration to the point you couldn't even holster your weapon, getting chased by mini reapers in the galaxy map, DLC locking out important content on day 1, singleplayer progression tied to multiplayer, retarded eavesdropping side quests, an extremely rushed pace, Kai fucking Leng, reduced dialogue options and less input in conversations, TURRET SECTIONS, that horrible ending, it goes on and on
>>737540132Before 3 was out, we were still holding onto the hope that the unresolved choices would all appear in 3 and the game would show the outcome of all your decisions. Pretty much every major decision from the past games got railroaded though.
>>737540146>missions with zero exploration to the point you couldn't even holster your weaponI know you probably memoryholed them but half of those shitty planetary landings in ME2 were 30 seconds long combat scenarios where you shoot 3 vorchas in a corridor and fuck off
>>737540243The writing was on the wall man. You barely pay for letting the Council die or allowing the Destiny Ascension to crash and burn. The Council just gets replaced with an identical group of ayys. Things treated like very big decisions almost never have serious consequences. Then you just have annoying shit swept under the rug. No one recorded Shepard talking to Vigil? And it shut down right after Shepard found it? And there were no memory banks or saved records?
>>737540342N7 missions were terrible I don't dispute that. But ME2 had missions that involved walking around the maps and talking to people or investigating. Every mission in ME3 is just land into combat zone and shoot shit until the mission ends, almost no exceptions. >>737540394I hated these aspects about 2 as well and it's the reason I can only stand to only replay 1 nowadays. Too bad you can't romance Tali in 1.
>>737540146>2 didn't have shit like Kai LengBut it did have equally retarded shit like human reapers and turned the setting into Guardians of the Galaxy.>missions with zero exploration to the point you couldn't even holster your weaponA thing started in ME2. Only real difference is ME2 had what, 3 hub worlds while ME3 had 1.>getting chased by mini reapers in the galaxy mapThat was shit, agreed. Although again, 2 began it with the stupid fuel shit.>DLC locking out important content on day 1, singleplayer progression tied to multiplayerI could have seen that being a big issue on day 1. That said I wish they just removed the Javik DLC altogether. ME2 ruined the protheans, but ME3 outright killed them.>reduced dialogue options and less input in conversationsLet's not pretend that even ME1 had meaningful dialogue options.>that horrible endingIt's stupid that they gave you 3 options but only one you would ever pick, but other than that it's fine. Reapers destroyed and Shep gets to spend the rest of his days banging Tali or Liara. Seems a decent ending to me considering the hole they wrote themselves into.ME3 still just feels like more of the same to me. It's fine to dislike it of course. Just don't understand the hate in particular ME3 gets while a lot of people still suck off ME2.
>>737540749Well I'm not really the person you're trying to address because I don't suck off ME2, there's plenty of shit I dislike about it, I just think ME3 is worse. >Let's not pretend that even ME1 had meaningful dialogue options.You make a good point, after replaying it a lot I noticed how many options were duplicates or just didn't result in anything different, but overall it's still a far cry from ME3. I don't agree that gutting the options had no effect at all.
>>737537659>What went right?Mass Effect 1>What went wrong?Mass Effect 2
>>737537714>>737539456>>737539409>>737539035I don't think she technically is. She's written as a minor in 1, but I think when you do the >muh lore birthdaysshe's over 18, but I agree she's supposed to be a minor in 1 based on her characterization and how they characterize basically every quarian you find outside the fleet>>737537659they fixed the gameplay from 1 but they made 1 look worse with worse lighting and skyboxes, didn't change 2 and 3 is missing the multiplayer
>>737540749ME1 has the retarded dialogue wheel but it does have some variation in how the game plays out depending on how you go about things. Like getting the garage pass on Noveria can be done in multiple ways, or you could do quest objectives in different orders. It's less than more focused RPGs but at least it had some of that, the other two basically didn't.
>>737537714but her hips weren't
Since everyone went over the major points like the endings not having more variation, Reaper indoctrination and the Illusive Man, etc I'll touch on a few smaller bits for good or ill>Tali not a romantic partner option in ME1 (bad)Apparently she was thought to be "too alien" for players at the time. They could have gotten around this to give players another option, but they would have needed to differentiate her from Liara especially at this poin >Lacking additional content for "fully devoted" romances, particularly with Liara (bad)I think players who did the ME1 Romance > ME2 base game romance nobody > ME2 LotSB DLC Rekindle with Liara > ME3 Romance Liara should have gotten special content. Same thing with some other characters too - Ashley, Garrus (I presume, I only played a straight Sheploo), but some other characters that didn't have as much 'history' got special content and conditions (ie you can only date Tali in ME3 if you romanced her in ME2) , though I am quite impressed whomever got the Samara ending to the ME3 Citadel DLC if you did everything right along the way. They also should have added more Jack and Miranda content for ME3, and supposedly Thane as well which brings me to>Modders did some amazing shit (good) ME3 especially had some insane mods. the MEHEM/JAM 'happy ending' mods added a new singular ending that at its best level many feel is equal or better than the Synthesis top level of the base game. Expanded Galaxy Mod is fucking exceptional, a whole new game within a game and its submods like Spectre Mod, plus the Miranda Mod which brings her onto the Normandy and as a full squad member is near Bethesda level of modding enjoyment. Great stuff here. >Multiplayer is actually a fun co-op experience (good) At a time when everything was competitive death match, they made a co-op class based PVE mode which was quite fun. Once the Extended Cut ended need to play for single player ending progression, it was solid.
>>737540749>Just don't understand the hate in particular ME3 gets while a lot of people still suck off ME2.It's the game that never was. When people first played ME2, ME3 didn't exist yet so everything 2 did wasn't unrecoverable and was forgivable. ME2 is only bad in hindsight. At the time it felt like a cool action side story or a dlc and everything hinged on whether or not ME3 stuck the landing.>but other than that (the ending is) fineThe reason it's not fine is that it's deus ex machina bullshit in a hard sci fi series. It's such an asspull. The crucible, which might as well be a magic rock, blows up all the mass relays which is what the entire series up until this point has been about. The double edged sword of being completely reliant upon this technology that is also the technology that is going to get everyone killed when the reapers come through them. It also has horrible implications for the entire universe if you think through the consequences of Mass Relays no longer existing. Earth is now cut off from other systems and every alien who showed up at the final battle is now stuck in the solar system, turians aren't going to have fuck all to eat because of their biology. The Migrant Fleet is now stranded wherever the fuck they were. The citadel and it's population are stuck. Everyone on Omega starves to death. It's fuckin grim. It's not a happy ending no matter how you slice it. The reapers are "dealt with" but by dealing with them the entire galaxy is fucked and left in the dark. The little ghost boy has a really stupid explanation for why the war started in the first place that boils down to: people build robots then people make war so the robots kill people to stop wars. The crucible uses its magic powers to either make shepard a super AI that controls the reapers, just blows them all up or (the most ridiculous option) turns every person or robot into cyborgs. It's hot doo doo garbage.
>>737541635>Tali not a romantic partner option in ME1 (bad)I actually kind of like that. Makes the romance feel a bit more impactful and special. Mostly because the companions are surprisingly basic in ME1. Like Liara is ready to fuck you after two conversation, then have nothing more to say to you until the ending.
>>737542051I can understand that things were a little basic overall as they were just figuring things out - and even that ended up with them getting tons of bullshit from the think-of-the-children tards of the time (notably Fox News) for including a fade to black sex scene and of course the potential gay/lesbian options. Even if they wanted to make it so that nothing was consummated with Tali until later , there could have been the romantic arc which was actually planned, as you learn more about her, her people etc and what it means to be romantically interested in a Quarian. It could have been done well if they had the balls to go through with it but a faceless, three fingered weirdo tech autist gypsy was deemed to strange for the time.
>>737542248Well, I'm glad they didn't. Because it led to a much more impactful romance,
>>737542248>nothing was consummated with Tali until laterWhat I thought the first game was going for was that it was biologically impossible for humans and quarians to have sex because quarians would die if they took their hazmat suits off, but this was retconned later as "I'll just get the sniffles". Also those lines between the head tails on asari are all vaginas. Krogan women have ten uturus.
Is this another thread about shitting on ME2 by the people that think ME3 was good?
>>737543409no, by the people that think ME1 was good.
>>737543539You mean an unsustainable userbase that nobody gives a shit about.
>>737537659>What went right? ME1>What went wrong?the rest
>>737543586i played the game and liked it. once or twice a year i engage with mass effect stuff. i dont need to be a 'user' in a 'base'. i just think ME2 and 3 are kindve dogshit and if ME3 didnt have the War of the Worlds aesthetic going for it it would be worse than 2.
>>737537659>What went right?The first one was okay.>What went wrong?The sequels.
>>737543626>>i played the game and liked it. once or twice a year i engage with mass effect stuff. i dont need to be a 'user' in a 'base'.Thank you for admitting nobody should be listening to you.
>>737539326>>737539691BG3 is gay porn and soccessor to nothing
>>737543653you're really assmad arent you. is me2 like your favorite game or something?
>>737537659>What went right?The multiplayer>What went wrong?The rest
>>737539884>The Reapers should never have been more than an existential threat and the invasion should never have happened.This. the moment it happens, you are forced to piss retcons around and solve it with a giant asspull
>>737537659>unskippable cutscenesuninstalled and refunded
>>737543689Meh, that's just pearl clutching. DA: Origins had a gay romance in it but nobody gave a shit. This was before people thought consumer purchases were political statements. Only reason I'm not interested in BG3 is that DnD is unfettered dogshit, the first Baldurs Gate sucked ass. Would probably just not engage with that content if I did play it.
>>737543696NTA, ME2 was pretty fun man. It's got a lot of great action setpieces. The opening sequence was heart pounding and tragic, the prison break was exceptional, the collector base was some great body horror, garrus becoming batman was kinda cool, Jack was hot af, the illusive man was like a bond villain, Mirandas ass, the gameplay was decent (not as good as uncharted, but decent), Zaeed was a badass. It was a high octane no down time thriller full of explosions. It was dumb but I enjoyed it at the time.
I recently got Series xbox for like 90$ in very good condition and i got EA Play for couple of months for free too. Do I play OG games or Legendary Edition? Never played ME before and finally want to.
>>737544327Don't play it.
>>737544379Why? I though ME trilogy is one of the best. I got memed by The Witcher 3 recently though so im cautious when it comes to praise. I always try and judge games myself but i ask because I have access to OG games or Legendary and i know that remasters tend to fuck up things.
>>737537714out of 10
>>737544795They aren't very long, you could probably beat both back to back in one week.Personally I'd recommend og with mods for better visuals, remaster doesn't really add anything significant, maybe makes 1's combat more streamlined, downright detrimental I'd say.
>>737544795>I though ME trilogy is one of the bestNo. The first game had a lot of potential, but was janky and scant. The second game you might as well play uncharted 2 or gears of war. The third game is a fucking mess. Seriously. Don't waste your time with this series. Everyone's hopped up on copium and still talks about it because it's such a tragic story of wasted potential and the feeling of disappointment from what it ended up being still hurts to this day. Don't play it.
>>737544921Thanks but as I said im on Xbox so no mods,I mostly emulate games nowadays anyways so im adjusted to some jank and lack of QoL older titles lack. Good to know they're not very long since I just put in 230 hours into Crimson Desert and wanted some shorter title to play through.
It was a great series with an amazing universe story and characters and we didn’t get anything that comes close to it ever since. All the historical revisionists here will call it shallow and have nothing better to offer except for shitty pixel art crpgs from the 90s that have 5% of ME’s production value. Mass effect is a monument to what was once possible and what could have been if the industry wouldn’t have gone to shit. A world you actually feel a part of, where you feel that you actually know the characters, where you feel that the world matters. Despite its shortcomings there was nothing that even comes near since then.
>>73753771421 in the first game.
>>737537659ME2 went wrong.
>>737540939I'll never forgive them for removing the multiplayer from 3 in the remaster. It was way more fun than it had any right to be.
>>737545413I spent more time in it than I'd ever admit, can't even tell why I found it so addicting.
I'm finna be honest, I liked ME:2, but I lost all hype before 3 released, and I haven't played it. I have some really good memories staying up on school nights playing ME:1, but I feel no need to replay it.
>>737545493I didn't play 1 until after 2 was out. I got 1 using my credit card rewards, played that, got 2 after LotSB was out but before arrival and was still hyped for 3>>737545413>>737545491same
>>737545491>>737545413for me, once the free DLCs started to roll out i was hooked. the characters they added had much more effort put into them than the base game. not that i didnt grind the demo for dozens of hours
>>737545564My PC was at the very end of it's lifespan when 3's demo released, played it without the fucking skybox.Around the same time Amalur's demo also came out, and that fried my gpu for good.
Mass effect fans are like battered housewives who won't leave their abuser.ME1: She met him in highschool and he promised her the world, she barely knew him but he was so handsome and had such a bright future ahead. They got married and vowed to have a wonderful life together.ME2: He bought a sports car, started hanging with loose women and snorting coke, but surely one day he will stop and he's still nice to her sometimes.ME3: He's now a total burnout junkie, a shadow of his former self who hurls insults at her every day. All of her friends tell her that he's a prick but all she sees is that guy who was such a shining star. She clings to him and is blind to the abuse, living an imaginary life and forgiving all his transgressions, only seeing in him the boy he was rather than the man he became.
>>737545782Did you get a chance to play Payday The Heist demo? Fuck they gave us such good demos back then... Nioh 3 was pretty good recently.
>>737545972Not even ME fans stayed for Andromeda
>>737546135Never been a fan of Payday or the likes.Nioh's demo was what ulitmately convinced me to buy the game, despite my aversion to open world. Wasn't entirely happy with the whole game but it was pretty good.
>>737546218ME Andromeda: He cut his dick off and started HRT. They can't even have sex anymore. She's fully living in a world of imagination now, completely lost to the real world. Her friends mourn for her and curse his name.
>>737546230I have mixed feelings on nioh 3 but id put it on par with nioh 2, gameplay for 3, story and concise area designs for 2. takeda shingen and his crew were peak and none of the villains after lived up IMO
>>737545972Me as one of the side-chicks he bangs while high (I'm only playing ME for the multiplayer)
>>737537659>rightcontent all in one place, no DLC kikery where mass effect 2 cost one and a half livermodding scene got revived somewhat, even shit like new missions/powers, hybrid ammo system(you can reload but also wait for recharge)Mass Effect 1 leveling system no longer needs you to discover every pixel on the map to get highest possible level >wrong obviously the lighting system got demolished, for the most part mods can unfuck itMultiplayer of the third game is missing, one of the more fun online gaming modes and EA chose to not to include it the Series didn't really needed remaster frankly, it is just convinience for extra money
>>737546415Whenever time travel gets introduced I immediately tap out on the story.Level design was definitely a weak point for me, near the end it started getting particularly exhausting, I much prefer the dungeons of 1 and 2.Weapon split is also another thing I'm not a fan of, even if it's mostly superficial.Ninja mode was very fun to play when mixed in with samurai, and I much prefer 3's super mode over yokai shift, seems like a perfect mix of YS and the living weapon.We'll see about the DLCs.
>>737546428I'm a tradwife born again virgin, I wouldn't fuck mass effect with your pussy.
>>737546706i agree, super mode was a great last ditch resource for me instead of spam yokai shift to clear every encounter. i enjoyed the arts meter as well
>>737547314That reminds me, I should give Wo Long another try.
>>737537758Yeah that sucked. It was a time when people were trying hard to pretend that homosexuality is hekin' chungus and not completely degenerate/disgusting.
