Headbutt them, duh [editline]27th March 2017[/editline] Headbutt all the things

[QUOTE=Del91;52021127]Headbutt them, duh [editline]27th March 2017[/editline] Headbutt all the things[/QUOTE] Never go full headbutt though, or you'll crash the game.

Last night I saved the Quarian Admiral and shut down the Geth server on Rannoch. I don't want to keep going, because[sp]Legion's death was the saddest for me.[/sp]

Because all the good parts of the game are over (besides like 1 little thing at the very end of the game).

i think lexi is having a couple of issues [vid]https://cdn-e1.streamable.com/video/mp4/lbc7q.mp4?token=1491874045_b3948fd644eb65af42f73121d376e31d6aa7c5ab[/vid] [vid]https://cdn-e1.streamable.com/video/mp4/xwp7h.mp4?token=1491874269_b52f8fca886a9f4a1e38ddcdb9f136891a04e507[/vid]

See, I didnt think the rest of the game was that bad. Except the ending, for obvious reasons. (ME3)

[QUOTE=Killjoy;52021538]See, I didnt think the rest of the game was that bad. Except the ending, for obvious reasons. (ME3)[/QUOTE] It isn't. People got so upset with the ending that it apparently ruined all the previous 20-30ish hours of fun. Just a lot of overreactions that carried over multiplied by 100 for andromeda.

But Thessia and the Cerberus base were fine imo.

Overreaction is pretty much the staple of most of the criticism I've seen for this game. The faces just [I]aren't THAT bad.[/I] At least, not bad enough to make the game divide people into the camp of "yeah, it's a pretty alright game. Nothing groundbreaking, nothing bad. Fun gameplay." and... "The worst game BioWare has ever made, this is why SJWs are ruining gaming, novice programmers churned out garbage!"

Especially not for the last two fucking weeks.

Nostalgia is OP, honestly. I think the squadmates in this game are way more interesting and nuanced than most of the introductions in ME1. Wrex is the only stand out in that game. Garrus is my favorite character in gaming, but he really only hits his stride in ME2.

ME3 is a mess.

??? All of those things are true. The game has THREE sidequests that actually aren't reused MP content or duck duck goose scan.

Mass Effect 3 has some stellar character moments, though. More than makes up for the shit-tier sidequests.

those are also mostly true [editline]27th March 2017[/editline] like half of them anyway v:v:v

[QUOTE=Mining Bill;52021696]those are also mostly true [editline]27th March 2017[/editline] like half of them anyway v:v:v[/QUOTE] don't tell me /v/ was right and mass effect was never good! for me (and many others) all games were flawed in a sense but all games remained fun to play through anyway. that also includes ME3 and now andromeda. sorry for the people who disagree then? the series are a lot shorter for you guys but opinions are opinions.

[del]me2 introduced kai leng too :v:[/del] edit: woops got my comics timeline mixed up i think you get off the hook for now me2 [sp]and zaeed is better than fish dude fite me irl[/sp]

Andromeda is not quite on the level of the first 3 games, but the intense scrutiny it's getting is making it hard to remember for some people that encountering a bad bug/animation/scene doesn't immediately invalidate the game as the whole being pretty damn fun and absorbing. Obviously, there's tons of awesome games out right now and these things can be a perfectly fine deal-breaker for lots of people, but pointing to a youtube video and saying "Look at these bad things! How can you like this game??" is getting a little of out hand.

[QUOTE=Ruh-roh;52021641]Sorry to break it for you but your opinion isn't truth. It's just your opinion. Your post can also be easily be applied to other games in the series, see:[/QUOTE] Except almost all of that is true. Here's a neat trick: Your opinion applies only to you, even if it's based on facts, and you don't get to judge whether another opinion is appropriate or not, just whether or not you find it relevant or agree or disagree.

[QUOTE=27X;52021953]Except alsmot all of that is true. Here's a neat trick: Your opinion applies only to you, even if it's based on facts, and you don't get to judge whether another opinion is appropriate or not, just whether or not you find it relevant or agree or disagree.[/QUOTE] And i'm disagreeing. I don't know where you're taking from my posts that i'm claiming its truth of some sort. Words of the person i've quoted, not mine. And you don't get to cherrypick what you think are "worthy" sidequests or not to say there are only three "because the rest is reused MP content or boring scan things" and call it truth. Because this, unlike opinions, is simply false. But my face is really tired right now so let's agree to disagree that ME3 is not a broken, irredeemable mess and leave it like that.

I managed to[sp]broker peace between the Geth and the Quarians,[/sp] so at least that's going well. I just finished Leviathan, and started Citadel. I was just given the Priority: Thessia mission, as well. [editline]27th March 2017[/editline] [QUOTE=Ruh-roh;52021548]It isn't.

It doesn't ruin the game for me, but I definitely remember just sitting there, staring at my screen the first time I finished the game.

But just like you said, it wasn't enough to ruin all the good times i had before, so i don't think the entire game is total crap. I just think its a good game with a crap ending.

liam's loyalty mission is fantastic

[QUOTE=PILLS HERE!;52022205]liam's loyalty mission is fantastic[/QUOTE] [DRAMATIC THEME MUSIC] [editline]28th March 2017[/editline] [video]https://youtu.be/Y1tqKlGc1X4[/video] I bound "check quest" to one of my additional mouse buttons. I pressed it once. This continued until I reloaded a save. [editline]28th March 2017[/editline] Voeld's music is the first time the planet ambiance has felt like the original trilogy to me.

[QUOTE=PILLS HERE!;52022205]liam's loyalty mission is fantastic[/QUOTE] I really wish there were more missions like it in the game. It reminded me just a bit of Citadel.
