I was rather surprised to find there wasn't a thread about video games here already, so I decided to make one. So, to start it off; What kind of games do you usually play when you've got nothing better to do? Recently, I've played through the Baldurs Gate series again, which has to be my all time favorite rpg series. Ever. I find the alternate universe setting interesting(despite it's retarded morality system) and the characters are fantastically written. Except Imoen. tl;dr General video game discussio GO! |

That pissed me off. I wish Bioware had just actually modeled her face and shown it properly, since it's not like ME2 where she just takes off her faceplate once in a romance scene, in ME3 she takes off her faceplate pretty much no matter how you play the game, and multiple times for some people. There's this big false mystery that Bioware perpetrates that tries to tell us that no one knows what the quarians look like, but the geth uprising was only 300 years before the games, and the quarians had an embassy on the citadel before that. There are still plenty of asari around from that time, and there's no way they've all forgotten what the quarians used to look like, much less that they've scrubbed the galaxy's internet of all pictures of unsuited quarians. Bioware's refusal to have even in-studio art and concepts of what quarians look like is incredibly stupid when Shepard should just be able to use space-google for a reference pic, and it shows with their half-assed picture of Tali. |

Sorry, I've had terrible Internet for the last few days! ((for real-life as well!)) I'm now more worried about what Illy is doing that's tanking the Internet as well. That said, it gave me some time to play mass effect 3 as well. Besides the terrible racism against animated/synthetic creatures, the ending literally did ruin the game for me. The last fifteen minutes, like everyone says, destroys the whole experience. I can't understand how they could do everything perfect in the game, with gameplay and story moments like: Spoiler: click to toggle And then give everything you did a massive 'fuck you' there. Spoiler: click to toggle Also, Tali was a photoshopped stock photo taken from the Internet. I saw a demotivational of how they made it. Seriously, I wanted to replay this game like a thousand times, then the ending came. ![]() |

Do what I'm doing, replay the game and ignore everything after the blitz towards the citadel in london and make up your own ending. |

That's a pretty good idea. It's just... Holy Crap. I mean, the game merges stuff from the first two to make it pretty much the Best Thing Ever, then craps it up at the end with a big 'fuck everything you did'. I mean, even if the ending was 'you lose, reapers win' would have been better. Spoiler: click to toggle Also, I heard that their original idea was that the reapers were killing us to stop entropic loss from 'Dark Matter', hence the emphasis on a prematurely dying star in Tali's recruitment mission in ME2. Which would have make Shepared essentially Simon in Gurren-lagaan. I would have been totally okay with Shepared punching out a reaper while standing on the shoulders of a billion Krogan. Also, there are no epilogues a la everything else bioware has made. What the fuck. Edited by Inanity_Check, Mar 13 2012, 02:44 PM.

Yeah, I know. That's why I ignore the ending and make up my own.allofmyboners.jpg And don't forget Wrex has to be involved there somewhere. Every moment he appeared in ME3 was GLORIOUS. Hated that he wasn't a teammate though. |

Basically, more of this was needed in the game. That said, my team was essentially Garrus and Tali the entire time, much as I did in ME1. Also, I had no trouble Spoiler: click to toggle but then the ending made that all pointless with Spoiler: click to toggle This all pisses me off even more because the quarians are one of my favorite parts of the Mass Effect universe, I love the idea of space gypsies running a space thalassocracy. I was looking forward to heroes of the Galaxy Shepard and Tali settling down on Rannoch and building a house together.

At Dan: Yeah. Your first spoiler, combined with the ending made no sense. @Eirik Tuchanka was pure gold. Also, the harpoon shotgun I never thought I'd get rid of my semi-auto shotgun, but my vanguard is so good with that harpoon gun I use it like a sniper rifle when I'm not tele-punching people. Also, the sticky bomb handgun is a lol-fest. Being a clumsy horror-girl, I've always been irritated by how people put ninjas on a pedestal, so going "bitch, please", slamming into them and seeing ninjas explode via mines/giant spear shotgun makes me happy. the fucking threshermaw and reaper scene was pure awesome. Hell, grunt's 'last stand' had me biting my nails untill I saw his ass limp out of that cave. |

@Amy I played an infiltrator, shotguns are for scrubs. The Falcon gods damned grenade launcher and Widow Sniper rifle is everything you need. They're especially hilarious if you equip your entire team with them, I was rolling with Garrus and Javik(the Brothean) and we raped EVERYTHING. |
