literally everything about the Suicide Mission in ME2 owns so hard they even got the achievement system to work toward the drama because the "congrats, you saved everybody" achievement doesn't pop up until about 30 seconds AFTER the Normandy gets away and you're sweating wondering if you accidentally got Garrus killed it owns

Alain Post posted:Literally the last image in Mass Effect 2 is a massive swarm of Reapers about to wreck the poo poo out of the galaxy. They even look like a swarm of locusts which is probably not an accident. Yes duh good job watching the game. The first two games were each featured an intelligent reaper that communicated with the player. The last game turned them into remote controlled spaceships under the direction of the citadel AI. The citadel, that needed to be activated by he reapers.......

Pattonesque posted:literally everything about the Suicide Mission in ME2 owns so hard My favorite part is the very obvious decisions that many people got wronged and complained about. Briefing: "Shepard, we need to pick a leader for the fire team. It should be someone who is a good fighter but even more importantly a good leader. They need to be both of things, ok? We're are not looking for just a good fighter here, we need a leader. IN ABSOLUTELY NO UNCERTAIN TERMS, SHEPARD, THIS PERSON NEEDS TO BE A GOOD LEADER. I'M SERIOUS." *Chooses Grunt as fire team leader* "What the gently caress Bioware this is bullshit Grunt is a great fighter why did I lose people???" *Posts complaints to forum*

Or more accurately attempting to impotently poo poo-talk you since he was often cut off mid sentence as you blew his hosts brains out every time he graced you with his presence. I find the idea of him being some glaring omission from ME3 pretty funny. Revealing his origins as being the avatar of a bunch of space blowhards was apt.

I liked Jacob but if I had made the game I'd have made him the only character who didn't need a loyalty mission because he already had his poo poo together

The bit that I don't think is intuitive is that escorting the crew is a simply loyalty check, but holding the line has more gradations. So Mordin's fine at escorting the crew but (for some reason) sucks at holding the line.

The reapers were on pace to be one of the most interesting villains in a long time and then they turned them into remote controlled retards.

Yeah but most video game endings are bad. This one just seems more bad because people invested themselves into mass effect to an unhealthy degree.

Correct choices: agent from the space racists that got her entire team killed, rent-a-cop from the space racists (that failed to save anyone even with Shepard's help), turian cop that got his entire team killed. Incorrect choices: hardened mercenary (that got his entire team killed, admittedly), Krogan conditioned from birth for combat, thousand year-old asari warrior

Grunt is, well, a grunt and didn't have leadership education instilled in him and Samara is a justicar, so she always operated on her own. Grunt may eventually lead Aralakh company, but you could make the argument that that's only after spending time first with Shepard and then with Wrex.

True. However, the bios for the "correct" choices tell you that they are good leaders. You might not be shown this, but you are told. And if I had to guess whether the "correct" choice in a Bioware game is the one that the writers tell me is correct or the one that they show me is correct....

Lots of people forget that Grunt wasn't made to be the perfect soldier. He was made to be the idle krogan template to try to out evolve the genophage. Of course he was made by krogan Mengele so it's nice Grunt turned out so chill.

denimgorilla posted:Yeah but most video game endings are bad. This one just seems more bad because people invested themselves into mass effect to an unhealthy degree. It was the first series to incorporate choices from previous games and since the games had seemingly improved from ME1 to ME2 even cynical people were hopeful they could bring it home. It's not all that surprising when you remember the context of when ME3 came out.

Alain Post posted:remember when the bad guy said that his motives were beyond mere mortal comprehension, that was incredible and extremely interesting This can never work out. Either it won't be explained, with leaves fans bitching for getting no resolution. Or it will be explained, but since writers are simple humans the explanation will never fulfill the criteria of being beyond mortal comprehension. Which leaves to fans complaining about it.

So loyalty missions are completely optional, which means that your companions aren't integral to the main story. Which means that ... why didn't they make the one part that fleshes out your companions an integral part of the game? If you don't do them do they just stand at their spot in the spaceship staring quietly at a wall? Why did they do that? Were people complaining about having to do EXTRA missions?
