Serf posted:ME3 was a great game that just got steadily better and better until at the very last second it suddenly exploded and not in a good way.

I'm playing through it again and it is just as fun as the first time. ME3 was a pretty uneven game throughout, in fact it might be the most uneven game I've ever played. Really weak opening, a fantastic middle section from Tuchanka through Rannoch, then everything kind of falls apart again after Thessia. You can tell that Earth was really supposed to encapsulate the whole last 1/3rd of the game with its own hub area instead of being just one final mission.

Fangz posted:Yeah, pretty much. He's just a cheesy midboss? It was also pretty cathartic when his beaten, broken body tries to drag himself up to Sheaperd to stab them in the back, only for you to punch his sword in half and gut him with your Omni-blade.

Seeing Earth get hammered by the Reapers while you escape and Anderson staying behind provided me with plenty of motivation for the rest of the game. Everything felt urgent, and because they never showed you what was happening, just implied it through your interactions with Anderson, let you fill in the gaps with your imagination. And by the end, the final mission on Earth really lived up to those expectations.

Maybe Earth was so important because here's Shepherd, this Earthling who killed a Reaper AND invaded their space, destroyed that ridiculous baby thing and escaped and is now chilling on their home planet. I'd wipe them out ASAP if I were the reapers!!!

I'm playing through it again and it is just as fun as the first time. The biggest issue I had with the original ending for me was that you didn't get anything regarding the things you did and the decisions you made. It ended without a denounement of all the side quests and decisions. They fixed it with the patch, but it showed how completely tone-deaf they where about what people liked about ME.

ME3 might have felt more even to me if they didn't open it with the Reapers attacking in the first five minutes. Like, they spend two whole games setting them up as these giant space-station sized death monsters that lay waste to civilizations, but apparently they're slowly rounding everyone up and putting them into camps first so really take your time Shepard and go scan some planets. It's a cool set piece to start with, but after hyping them up as an unstoppable apocalypse they're forced to neuter them just to give a reason for the rest of the game to happen.

Bongo Bill posted:His deal was being calm, diplomatic, and well-adjusted. Doesn't make him an interesting conversational partner, but every scene he's in, he's there keeping things on track and deescalating. He also ends up being the perfect example of how Cerberus tried to fool Shepard into thinking they were on the level by assigning every decent person and/or total schmuck in their entire mad science terrorism syndicate to the Normandy. isn't that on like one of the video diaries in 3. Cerberus basically puts all its sanest/free thinking members into on Shepherd's team to make them look better. i never minded Cerberus batshittery and being some super large evil organazation that has like 20 million lovely projects that don't work and disposable grunts. VideoGames posted:Maybe Earth was so important because here's Shepherd, this Earthling who killed a Reaper AND invaded their space, destroyed that ridiculous baby thing and escaped and is now chilling on their home planet. that was always my thought. shepherd fucks over 2 of their big plans forcing the reapers to do poo poo the long and hard way. the good fax machine posted:OMG I forgot about the Shepard breathing scene at the end! Why the gently caress did they do that? because they want to give people a sorta hopeful ending.

VideoGames posted:I feel like I'm the only one who loves ME3 sometimes, but then I did play each game the same way the whole way through - Renegade everything, never using anyone other than the below teams. I really enjoyed me3 ride, right up to the point the old warhorse tells us we did good. If we were just sitting there as the end of the galaxy happened/beat the reapers through military strength I would have been satisfied.

It wouldn't fit with the current games but I'd love for whomever wrote that story to do one in the Mass Effect galaxy. Something in the galactic intel community or maybe some sort of mercenary/operative working in the grey areas.

Some guy that apparently played the game says that there's no longer any squad mate power control. I hope it isn't true... otherwise we're at the mercy of Bioware's... ai.

Trast posted:This person speaks truth. My faint hope is that Andromeda is just setting the stage for all kinds of space opera adventures in the Mass Effect IP without needing to worry about "Earth" and "the fate of the galaxy" and "the same iconic protagonist every game." I would pay full price for a ME "imperial agent storyline" game even if it was literally the same with the serial numbers filed off.

The Sith Warrior writer is currently on the Andromeda team if I remember right. All of the worthwhile writers from SWTOR scattered to the four winds, ensuring that game would never amount to anuthing long term but in this case it's a benefit!  I think the Imperial Agent guy is doing mobile games.

frajaq posted:Yeah you're gonna use the Mako a lot, I'm fine with it even if it got a lot of hate at the time of ME 1 launch. Attacking a raider/pirate outpost with the Mako was always fun, even if you got less XP from it On PC you can edit an INI file and make it so you get the same (or heck, 10 times as much) XP from killing things in the Mako. You can also give the Mako super thrusters. ME PC is good, you guys.

Kai Leng is a real bad character but playing as a vanguard and dunking on him as he tries to hop away and hide behind grunts in TIM's fancy space room while Shepard poo poo talks him then breaking his lovely hanzo steel is pretty good.
