its kind of ballsy that they just detonated their universe at the endLike in an era of sequels after sequels we don't even have an ongoing Mass Effect comic
Every woman in that game was attractive.
>>738050350Especially the girl on the screen itselfThats right, im talking about your reflection, bbg <3Justin out, peace
>>738050350
>>738047483
>>738052991I would love to see a Jon Grissom game
I fucked Kaidan's ass.
>>738050350Femshep and Ashley were both trash
>>738053746His daughter burned coal
>>738054409Anderson's a bad motherfucker though
>>738050350Better times
>>738047483>at the endMore like five minutes into ME2. The Human Council is gone, the rescued Council suddenly goes against their speech at the end of ME1, Cerberus is now a 20yo company founded by a glownigger instead of the 6 months old Alliance rogue black ops group it was stated to be, you're forced out of the Alliance and to work for TIM even if you hate Cerberus' guts, the decision regarding Garrus' future with C-Sec or the Spectres doesn't matter because he's turned into discount Batman, Shepard fucking DIES and the Normandy blows up but they're both ignored 5 minutes later as resurrection is introduced into canon then ignored for the rest of the franchise, etc.Mass Effect was good for exactly one (1) game.
>>738054917you think she had some work done or did the plugsuit just strap her down?
>>738054914>the rescued Council suddenly goes against their speech at the end of ME1this is the only thing I like. It's real as fuck. Politics is full of slimeballs
>>738055056I'm putting it on the suits
>>738055198ME designs are always so cool
>>7380549142 had a change in writer, he wanted capeslop so he soft rebooted it the worst way possible
>>738056346also Christina Norman simplified all the game systems for morons
>>738056383You'd have to be braindead not to understand it in the first place
>>738054381Compare them to Aloy or pic related.
>>738057630Point taken Aloy is revolting and so is this mutt
>>738050350>Every woman in that game was attractive.Then why is the most popular girl the one whose face you never see?
>>738058069The other ones aren't unpopular. People's main criticisms are that Ashley is boring/racist and Miranda looks a little hee hee.
>>738047483>Like in an era of sequels after sequelsThe mass effect trilogy was riiiight before that t b q h
>>738058069
>>738050350Even the matriarch milf characters. I should replay this trilogy asp.
>>738058531Shame they cockblock you out of blue milf freckle pussy
>>738054917>>738055056Absolutely had work done, Ashley was bogged the fuck out in ME3. Odds are, once the war is over, she's going all in on the plastic surgery.
>>738054409Anderson is spiritually white
>>738059041Low point of the whole trilogy. I was frustrated as fuck.
>>738059250There can only be one blue puss and that's worst girl writer's pet Liara
Skipper
>>738060786The gunnery chief sure knows how to pop some thermal clips
>>738050350you sure about that?
>>738061347She has a nice body at least. Would paper bag.
>>738054914because that faggot casey hudson, and retard bitch hamburger helper joined forces to oust Drew Karpashyn, who had a three game outline for a story about dark matter and dying stars and wrote the story for me 1.since DK was an independently successful writer actuslly able to create story worth anything at all. the others seeeeeeeethed and had to get rid of him to cover their own asses and pretend they were not incompetent fucktards.
>>738047483Garbage series anyways. It never lived up to all the potential nor hype it had. Some anon from a thread yesterday or the day mentioned an Xcom spinoff game called Bureau and it looked a lot more like how the series should have panned out combat wise. Also it needed to stick with just one solid writer (should have kept Drew Karpyshyn). And for fucks sake there was no need to constantly keep stripping the RPG mechanics the way they did.Mass Effect should be stripped away from EA and Bioware. Give it to a good development studio and reboot the entire damn thing. If the series did get rebooted under a different studio I wouldn't even be all that opposed to them using AI for some things either since the dialogue always felt a bit robotic and phony at times anyways. Could also be a way to make sure the original and only real Shepard (MALE) gets to stay in the game intact.
Idk how people can stomach bioware games. They're all ass
Mass Effect is just a Shadow Raiders rip-off except they made it gay by not making the aliens turbo racists
>>738064523>one solid writer (should have kept Drew Karpyshyn)He wrote a prequel novel to the first game that gets mentioned about two hours in and then has zero relevance to anything for the rest of the game. Which would be fine if the book wasn't about the game's major antagonist.
>nooooooooo you can't like bimbo Ashley Seethe, plebbitor.She realized Sheppard's powerful seed was in danger of being wasted on alien womb and changed here's to save humanityI honor her efforts
>>738065660I don't care desu. Because for video games it just works different compared to books. Not too many read books these days and I think its perfectly fine and even preferable that games ignore expanded media such as books and film as much as possible. They should never feel essential in order to enjoy a game. Especially considering ME started as a gaming series not a series a novels.
>>738064523>And for fucks sake there was no need to constantly keep stripping the RPG mechanics the way they did.You don't understand, Bioware wanted the call of duty audience. It worked out for great for them.
>>738066317>I don't careThen you're an idiot. It's a sign of a shitty writer. He put the time and effort into writing a book about the game before it was even released, made the game about the major character of his book and the two things barely interact. The Saren of the book and the Saren of the game are completely different characters.If you can't even keep one character straight between mediums why would anyone trust you to keep a whole setting straight between games? Oh, that's right. They didn't. Because he's a shit writer and the evidence was there from the start.
zzz
>>738066804Every shit publisher back in the day was desperate for that audience. I would say this was more EA's call than Bioware. Although this is not to defend Bioware. I think in hindsight they were always severely overrated as a company.
>>738066860Good god I fucking hate you book fags so much. I already explained to you that games should be free from this expanded media shit as much as possible because then it forces people to have to consume other media or in this case books when they might not want to get that invested. Most fans would have bought the game and had the expectation that since its the first game in a promised series that it would function as an introduction to a new sci-fi world. Instead though you wanted people to be forced to have to read a trillion novels and maybe even have to be forced to sit and watch television shows as well if they can ever hope to get the full story of their game.Drew likely wrote it just to generate some hype for the game and nothing more. He probably didn't want to have his hand forced by crossing over into books and games. Gaming is a business. I actually would expect Drew would have did something like this and maybe even got forced a bit due to higher ups demanding more from him to generate hype. It was a great call by him to make a novel that doesn't really tie into the first game. Look at what happened with Halo thanks to this books shit forcing itself upon the series.
>>738050350Mass effect 3 Ashley looks like a tranny to me.
>>738062574I don't think that hairstyle works for her. They should have given her a ponytail/braid, or a loose variant of her classic bun.
Lots of speculation for everyone!
>>738068521That's a fucking sleeper agent activation phrase for me holy shit.
>>738047483The best part of Mass Effect's universe was envisaging all the rape taking place in it. all other details are there to flesh out an expansive well-developed universe for an especially immersive porno in which these rapes can be set.It was a mistake to move the setting to Andromeda. What kind of rape is there to be had in a completely unsettled galaxy? Now, hardly any rape stories are produced compared to the heyday of Mass Effect in 2010-12
>>738058208>racistShe's not even racist. I was so disappointed when I finally played the game and she was just saying basic facts instead of asking Shepherd to space the blue whore.
>>738062574I love these games to death but the 2000s bioware games just aged so poorly graphics-wise. Those character models just look like some weg porn shit
>>738057869soul...
>>738047483I think Bioware would rather just retire Mass Effect after fucking it up and the ending of 3 ruining their image. EA thinks there's value in the series but I think Bioware wants nothing to do with it given Andromeda was handed off to a D-tier studio that never developed a game before and LE being a pretty shitty remaster show they really don't care and just want to move on.
I'm gonna be making some Miranda and Ashley fan art
>>738074806Hand drawn or AI?
>>738054409canonically everyone in ME is a muttor at least that was the lore in ME1 and the first novel, they kind of forgot about that for ME2 when giving you companions Niggerman and Aryan Princess
>>738075018uhhh 3d rendered
>>738054914>The Human Council is gone, the rescued Council suddenly goes against their speech at the end of ME1This was a good move though, Udina's "we're gonna make an all human council" speech at the end of 1 was cringe and hilariously out of touch with the established lore.
>>738075554Nice
>>738074806Keeping my eye open on r34 if you post there, based lad.
They had one job with Mass Effect 3.Just send everyone home happy.It's the last game in the trilogy.Some heroic sacrifices where it makes sense (Shepard's black dad Captain Keith David, Mordin dying to stop the genophage and becoming a hero to the Krogan, Thane was already dying so it doesn't matter if he takes a anime reject's sword to the gut, etc.) but otherwise the heroes all live (if you keep them alive), the bad guys all die and the universe goes back to normal. Everyone lives mostly happily ever after.BUT NO FUCKING BIOWARE HAD A DIFFERENT IDEA."WHAT IF WE FUCKING PISS OFF EVERYONE THAT LIKES THIS WORLD AND THESE CHARACTERS AND JUST FUCKING RUIN THE ENTIRE FRANCHISE COMPLETELY? WOULDN'T THAT BE JUST FUCKING NEAT???"YOU FUCKING RETARDS.FUCKING BIOWARE I SWEAR.
>>738075554based
You know what, after 14 years i'm tired of pretending 3 is bad. In fact it's my favourite to play nowadays. Granted, it's heavily modded.>>738058334Part 3 NEVER EVER
>>738077204it's kinda like the star wars sequel trilogy where making it good was actually easier than messing it up and they still did somehowthe stink will never wash off
>>738079805>pretendingKys.
>>738080169Yeah. The story beats are still pretty retarded, and it was dissapointing as hell at release, but the modtrannies have done a good job fixing most of my issues.
>>738079805It's pretty fun. But it's just a bummer how it all ends up. But who knows if there's a way it could have gone where it wouldn't feel like a shitty ending. The odds were against them, though that doesn't excuse them going full retard at the finish line
>>738077204the bad ending isn't the problem.that went out the window with shepard and the sr1the problem is in a universe of highly autistic well researched pseudo science the crucible is just random space magicit would have been more interesting if the crucible was all to open like a giant command prompt where you can give the reapers one order
>>738047483Games were excellent but overrated The world building was kinda shallow ME3 had such bland missions
>>738054914>More like five minutes into ME2.This isn't even a successful grift. It just kills threads.
>>738082331you have your containment thread, go to it
>>738082331nevermind, your thread closedmaybe its the "ME2 is perfect and every other game is garbage" rhetoric that kills threads
>>738081081The world building was shallow?
I enjoyed Andromeda and MS1. 2 was meme and 3 was a flat TPS with a rushed ending.
>>738058531I want to fuck Samara so bad
>>738064865it's a 1:1 remake of Star Control 2 you dingus
>>738084930Leviathan could've been saved as a concept if they had made them a second reaper faction like the Green Ur Quan
>>738083959it's the kind of thing people say but can't name many games that are deeper
Will Exodus and The Expanse fill the Mass Effect-shaped void in my heart?
>>738047483I can't believe they actually made the everyone dies ending canon. Very based.
these shit games needs ea launcher to play right ?
We'll bang, okay?
>>738086348Just emulate them, imagine paying for almost 20 year old games
>>738087465remember when the xm8 was the future?
>>738086348There's a workaround, guides are on steam, where you trick it into running through origin in offline mode, works without issue.
>>738086163Exodus for whatever reason is doing Mass Effect Andromeda 2might be good though.Expanse is a boring universe both games are doing less than ME1 back in 2007, no vehicles
>>738047483I really respect that Mass Effect 3 ends conclusively with, in theory, an ending that dramatically changes the state of the galaxy with irreconcilable differences between each ending that makes sequels impossible. It just sucks that in execution there's virtually no difference beyond red, green, and blue, and the extended cut just makes the endings even more retarded
>>738090504You should play Starfield if you want the immersion of driving around planets collecting resources and mineral gathering
>>738074806
>>738091706Shit that's really fucking good
Ash is alright, very cute beak, that's for sureShe usually dies on Virmire though
>>738091706more
>>738091706what are the chances of getting miranda x jack lesbian stuff?
Fuck EA
>>738047483The devs probably purposefully did that so they wouldn't be forced to make infinite mass effect games. Andromeda proved them right.
>>738054914It feels good to have lived long enough to see people come to the same conclusion about ME2 which I did in fucking 2010
fuck off mirander
>>738054381Faggot. Babes in uniform are hot. Especially that tight bun that Ashley wears.
>>738102682We were young and hopeful and blissfully unaware during our honeymoon phase.
>>738054914>look at me I'm special and a contrarian and hate the best entry in the series my taste is truly impeccablehappy for you lil bro
>>738075554Can you make her nips... bigger?
>>738054914I just played the series for the first time and ME1 was the worst one. Not even close. It's only worth playing because of the sheer number of opportunities you get to murder people for no reason. It's incredibly funny.
Earthborn - War Hero - Vanguard - Singularity - Shock Trooper - Paragadecanon playthrough
>>738102682if you were on bioware social in 2010 it was a losing battle but you still had almost 50% of the board with you what changed things was Garrus/Tali fags discovering they could romance their waifu/husbandu
>>738103362boring playthrough
>>738058208I don't mind ashley being portrayed as racist, as the setting supports it. Her religious spin felt unpolished, though. She doesn't sound devout, as much as she sounds like a bible thumping strawman.
>>738084930This feels more like they just happened to have some similar generic space scifi stuff, and not like they were trying to ape star control that hard. Though, they were clearly scifi nerds, and probably had star control close to their hearts.
>>738102734Her faces ruin everything
>>738075554FULLYMODELLED PUFFY
>>738104259you're saying shit to say shit
