Mass Effect Megathread: DING DONG BANNU edition - Games

Is the genesis dlc for ME2 Worth getting im getting sick of replaying ME1 [editline]29th February 2012[/editline] Well not sick of it but the combat system is just uhhg

[QUOTE=Tortekr;34918482]In ME3 I think they're trying to go for quality over quantity. I mean, some characters ended up being useless in ME2.[/QUOTE] Yeah, but they removed the Krogan bro and replaced it with Meat Stronglift over there.

[QUOTE=ironman17;34916221] If I ever started up a company, i'd try to find some middle-ground between soulless capitalism and the poor-yet-rich indie spirit, [/QUOTE] I think Obsidian Entertainment sort of strikes that middle ground.

It's much better if you imagine it Weird Newscasters style.[/QUOTE] Read this in Cogburn's voice

[QUOTE=mikester112;34918436]Anybody feel there aren't enough squad members for ME3? Come on look at ME2 there were 10 squad members (if you don't count the DLC.)[/QUOTE] You have a choice between having a fuckload of squadmates or a limited range of more fleshed out ones. Half the squadies in ME2 I never used, what's the problem if they cut a few?

Anyone know how many points you should have to distribute at level 17 in ME2? I edited my save and ended up apparently changing the number of them I had.

(21 minutes long) Again in my opinion he has good points and I'm waiting for arguments to prove them wrong.[/QUOTE] Y'know what? These videos should be emailed to all the EA pigs in charge of the lies and the heresies surrounding Mass Effect 3, forcing them to listen and learn and make the changes. They should also be forced to read the emails detailing how wrong they are, since obviously most of us are spineless weaklings when it comes to not buying a game that is going to be pretty good. There are so many other methods that could be deployed, but most if not all of them are either illegal or inhumane. Say, here's a better thought; Occupy EA. It'd be great; gathering loads of angry gamers, have them camp outside the studios and protest against EA's wrongdoings, as well as maybe preventing people from entering or exiting the studios for added disruption. [QUOTE=Tortekr;34918482]In ME3 I think they're trying to go for quality over quantity. I mean, some characters ended up being useless in ME2.[/QUOTE] Personally I want them to expand the number of squad members Shepard has. In Dragon Age you can have your player-character and three allies, so why not do the same for Mass Effect? It's something i'd enjoy having as part of the experience.

He earned his place as a regular in my team when he went, "[I]Oh SHIT[/I]" at the Reaper Walker in the Thresher Maw trailer.

[quote] TB [/quote] There aren't any. Someone is not telling the actual truth, period, or EA, as I've stated past, is simply doing as they've always done, and people on both sides of the fence know it. Why the brothers ever thought selling to EA was a good idea is beyond me.

How many different nicknames does our Krogan bro replacement Pecs McIronabs have? I've seen people call him like 10 different things.

Whom are the confirmed squadmates in ME3?

He's the new "tank"

[QUOTE=Fisk;34918794]Whom are the confirmed squadmates in ME3?[/QUOTE] Has nothing to do with confirmed, these ARE the squadmates you'll be getting, minus one. No one from 2 except liara, tali and garrus return, and no one from 1 that wasn't in 2.

He's the new "tank"[/QUOTE] They already used the "mercenary with a conscious" and "youngling without a home" tropes for Wrex and Grunt, I can't really see what kind of character they could give us that isn't just a standard blood rage Krogan.

[QUOTE=mikester112;34918860] Exiled veteran.[/QUOTE] That was Okeer before he died, though.

I just can't abide having a human being the "brute" of the team, when an average Krogan would be tougher.

They should have just given us Wrex again.

[QUOTE=SPESS MEHRINE;34918939]They should have just given us Wrex again.[/QUOTE] As much as I like Wrex, I can understand how he has bigger commitments leading the Krogan Grunt however, well what damn excuse does he have?

[QUOTE=Canuhearme?;34918879]That was Okeer before he died, though.[/QUOTE] Anyone else wish that we had gotten to recruit Okeer instead of Grunt? He seemed like a much more interesting character. I like Grunt, but I would have preferred another badass old krogan with more depth than "I was grown in a tube, now I have to murder EVERYTHING."

Am I the only one who finds TB insufferable? He reminds me way too much of a guy I knew for five years.

[QUOTE=mikester112;34918242]I'm a bit disappointed that only a few of my team is back, I'm going to miss Zaeed.[/QUOTE] the new reporter takes his room on the ship

[QUOTE=MAspiderface;34919151]the new reporter takes his room on the ship[/QUOTE] Can we put her in the trash compactor/ejector? [editline]28th February 2012[/editline] [QUOTE=27X;34918838]and no one from 1 that wasn't in 2.[/QUOTE] Pretty sure the VS is a squadmate.

[QUOTE=MAspiderface;34919151]the new reporter takes his room on the ship[/QUOTE] I better be able to shove her out the nearby airlock.

I wonder if that reporter is going to try and make a third comeback only to end up with an exclusive interview with my fist. Again.

[QUOTE=GetBent;34919188]Can we put her in the trash compactor/ejector? [editline]28th February 2012[/editline] Pretty sure the VS is a squadmate.[/QUOTE] But there's 2, so it's not a singular returning char.

I don't want Mass Effect to be over. They must continue.

[QUOTE=Errorproxy;34919416]I don't want Mass Effect to be over. They must continue.[/QUOTE] It is going past this game, it's just the story arc coming to an end afaik.

[QUOTE=Errorproxy;34919416]I don't want Mass Effect to be over. They must continue.[/QUOTE] All things have a time and a place. Better to end well than continue as a shadow of what was awesome.
