So, I'm starting ME2 to see if these games get better than ME1, and I immediately hate this universe all over again after the first few minutes. It feels like I'm working for Space Trump and the space racist CIA, and that's supposed to be rad. The alien races are all lazy, mono culture stereotypes, and of course one is in the, "banking, selling each other out constantly, tiny monster men" style. It's like Star Trek by neo-cons. The Codex reads like a propaganda piece against all the aliens that aren't part of the council. I feel like I'm one step away from meeting like, Space Hitler and loving them after a really rushed love story. And male Shep talks like a dweeb.

Which is bad, but I don't know if "it's worse than the ME3 ending" fits.

Fojar38 posted:what were the worst parts of those endings Bad sequel hook in ME2, meaningless plot choices in ME1. Having said that, the sequel for ME2 had been planned before the development of ME1 (it just happened that there was a significant detour in the story writing department halfway through) and the meaningless plot choices in ME1 were overshadowed by the less meaningless ones.

Milky Moor posted:yeah, it's not even in doubt Outside of the story being garbage, the final mission is that you  *spoiler for the last fight mechanics/setting so don't click* do a bland techno reskin of the collector base then fight baby reaper redux at the end (for loving ages), but it only has one weak spot this time and is a remote control octopus or some poo poo Also the credits song.

marshmallow creep posted:holy poo poo I'll explain: I did not like the ME3 ending but at least it tried to do something a bit unique even if it failed. ME:A is just plain lazy, generic big arena battle complete with "shoot the glowy bit" and a shoehorned choice at the end because someone must have said "HEY WHERE'S THE BIG CHOICE  THIS IS A BIOWARE GAME I WANT MY BIG CHOICE " and it pretty clearly means nothing, it even TELLS you this. Also the stinger someone mentioned is a generic Marvel Movie stinger showing the Bigger Bad. Maybe there is a lot of story stuff I missed to give it context but it's not very good.It's definitely not comparable to ME1/ME2 endings even the worst parts of them are still pretty drat good.

Guys why do we keep returning to this, the Mass Effect series is absolute poo poo, as are all video games. Mass Effect Andromeda is no different and is therefore good.

Schlesische posted:Bad sequel hook in ME2, meaningless plot choices in ME1. Wrong, ME2 had a great sequel hook with the suicide mission just over, having told TIM off, then you look out the window and gently caress REAPERS EVERYWHERE WE GONNA DIE as the music came up, that was awesome. ME1 had a choice which they threw aside in later games because they wanted Anderson on Earth for ME3, but at least it sounded like you were helping set the tone with how humans dealt with the Council.

Reminder. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tLlAObjR-gs This is the actual ME3 ending. You also have the fight across the Citadel with Anderson, and your deaths. The leadup to all this is also brilliant and great. The problem with the ME3 ending wasn't the buildup, or execution. It was Walters little tacked on bit about how no, it's actually all about ethics in synthetic relations. Once you separate that from the rest of ME3, either through a mod or just alt-F4ing as Shepard closes their eyes/dies near the end you can make ME3 have a better ending. You cannot make ME:A have a better ending.

Had a half-hour left with the trial so I put together a tricked-out Revenant since that was my favorite gun in ME2 and 3, but it took too long to make and I'd already killed all the enemies I could find on the first planet so I spent five minutes driving around looking to find something cool to shoot and failed. Twenty four hours of not knowing how rad my machine gun is, the agony.
