Mass Effect Megathread - This one doesn't have time for your solid waste excretions! - Games

Who'se the biggest punching bag of the series? Udina, that reporter with the excessively long and difficult to spell name, Conrad Verner or someone else?

Al-Jilani, considering she's been assaulted at least four times now.

the reporter gets punched by everyone

The only vehicles to me that actually look like a threat are the mako, the hammerhead, the normandy (both versions) and any warship in the alliance fleet, everything else looks like weaksauce.

no

[QUOTE=XanaToast.;26053859]the reporter gets punched by everyone[/QUOTE] She always had it coming, maybe if she wasn't an annoying bitch all the time then that could save her from a punch to the face or two.

[QUOTE=tier56;26053940]Yeah mass effect needs more vehicles that look like they could cause some damage and look futuristic.[/QUOTE] Could you please stop quoting page stretching posts?

Just bought this game, if I could have children with Mass Effect. I would. Fucking husks and abominations. They suck massive space cock.

Hot.

[QUOTE=Whatsinaname;26042439]Why do they need to have tanks? It's 2183. That's like asking why we don't have cooler stagecoaches today. Come to think of it, why does everybody still use SMGs, Sniper rifles, and the like? Surely aliens came up with something different when they were evolving. Or am I just going to deep into this?[/QUOTE] Because mass effect is basically Gears Of War in Space, but with a deeper storyline. ME2 is more like Gears In Space because you fight the collectors who look kind of similar to the locust. Also the geth can be compared to the locust to.

Oh I'm pretty sure if Chet Blenszki is right Mass Effect is a GoW clone. :v:

[editline]14th November 2010[/editline] Coop? We need to go deeper... Eh well, but it would be so awkward to romance if one of your friends plays Shepard.

Not as much as Fable. Your partner wants to have unprotected sex with you. :raise:

[QUOTE=the_killer24;26054307]Gears of War doesn't have any tanks apart from that terribad wheeled [del]ATGM[/del] low-velocity dumbfire missile carrier. :colbert:[/QUOTE] But it does have the armadillo APC, which is a not so futuristic version of the mako, and the king raven and reavers, which are primitive versions of the mantis gunship. Also you don't consider a brumak a tank?

Like the Uncharted cooperative missions.

[QUOTE=Dronaroid;26054479]Are you implying Sovereign looks weak?[/QUOTE] Ah crap I forgot to mention sovereign and any reaper starship. Thanks for reminding me.

Also you don't consider a brumak a tank?[/QUOTE] It's a fact that every single vehicle in Gears of War is terribly designed and would never be used by a normal army. The Armadillo is a box on wheels. The King Raven is a flying box. The Reaver is flying cavalry. The Brumak is a super-heavy cavalry unit.

The Brumak is a super-heavy cavalry unit.[/QUOTE] Most APC's in real life are boxes on wheels more or less ex: the M2 bradley, although thats an IFV (Infantry Fighting Vehicle) or the stryker APC are perfect examples of this. Also have you ever seen a f***ing MH-53 SuperStallion, that looks like a flying box Although I do agree that the reaver and brumak are calvary units though.

lol, asterisks Unlike the KR, the 53 has doors. Unlike the Armadillo, the Bradley/Stryker/BMP/Puma/etc actually have armor, fully enclosed troopbays, and guns worth firing.

Who needs APCs when you can ride elcor mounted with a machine gun ?

Also It can take small arms fire, like a real APC but that armor doesn't mean jack shit when it gets it by an anti tank weapon, which the locust use, but it does need better guns though.

We don't need more vehicles, I don't want to turn this into a Black Ops clone. Snow mobiles, choppers, boats, bikes, stealth planes, RC cars... The Hammerhead is a good successor to the Mako and there is only place for one APC and a shuttle on the Normandy anyway. I don't say it wouldn't be fun, but it jeopardizes the credibility of a game.

Since we're talking about ME and not GoW vs. real world Armadillo vs. Mako: Mako wins EVERY TIME. It has a 155mm MA, while the Armadillo dies to grenades. Centaur vs. Grizzly: Grizzly is slow, but its gun (155mm MA) hits instantly. KR vs. Hammerhead: Helicopter vs. flying ATGM carrier. No contest.

I found the Hammerhead to be quite fun. It had a quite solid maneuvering and wasn't as floaty as the Mako. I did like the Mako, though, but the Hammerhead wins by a mile.
