Much like the destruction of the Normandy, Joker's sequence was really, really loving good the first time you did it. If you replayed the game you started wishing for a skip button.

Oh, you've seen this bug too?

The idea that Ryder punctuates a battlecry with loud loving is kind of funny.

Trast: Oct 20, 2010; Three games, thousands of playthroughs. 90% of the players don't know I exist. Still a redhead saving the galaxy with a [Right Hook].

The section where they make you control Joker is really dumb and annoying too.

It's too bad you couldn't reach an airlock during that sequence. The game would have been much improved.

That was a good sequence. I'm sorry you don't like good things.

Codependent Poster posted:

It was a fun tense sequence. It's like 5 minutes, tops. It's also a much better impact when it puts you in the shoes of a defenseless character seeing all this poo poo go down and trying to escape instead of just watching it as a cutscene.

I'm holding you guys responsible for that lovely limping section at the end of ME3

We knew you wouldn't like it and asked the devs to put that in just for you.

They just pick up Ryder and Peebee and put them into a single drop-pod together and launch them onto the Kett base regardless.

Sara and Scott's character kits are released.

Reflecting on the defaults they use for marketing, I find myself really liking Sara Ryder's face if only because she really nails a kind of kid sister look, while Scott just manages to nail looking like someone I'd probably want to punch. That probably says something unfavorable about me, but welp.

You want to be in charge of who your kid sister fucks?

Yeah. You can make the one you play look however you want, and the twin will auto adjust to look similar. Then if you want them to look different you can edit them further. Dad is based off the one you play.

Why did they give him the arm proportions of Popeye? Being in space must have shortened his femurs, too.

Why do they look like maquettes?

Seriously though is it the lighting or the new engine or what because they seriously look cartoonish to me for some reason

E: ah maybe they modeled the action figures of these characters in-game by mistake
