ME3 had freakin teleporting ninjas and Krogan with massive hammers and poo poo man!


This is actually super disappointing considering the ME3 MP studio is the one that made most of the game, isn't it?

what multiplayer races are there rn?

ME3 launched with the sorta bog standard citadel races that fell into the warrior/spellcaster/ranger archetypes if I remember. It'll probably slowly expand as DLC is developed, provided this game doesnt get abandoned like 3 months in.

One good thing about minimalizing companion impact on combat is you can just bring whoever you like rather than whoever has overload.

this is a mediocre video game. the massive circlejerk about it from people who have made video games part of their identity is gross. buy and play a game or don't.

One thing I really don't like about MEA, or more specifically modern gaming in general, is I loving hate crafting. With a passion. Just give me the gear through questing/currency. I hate managing blueprints and resources and ugh.

I hated it in Destiny too. Where the gently caress is relic iron and why do I have to waste time tediously going to find poo poo. Same reason I never got into professions in WoW either

I have a Krogan Hammer in single player so it'll probably make it to multi eventually. The multiplayer lead said on stream that they were working on a lot more classes still they just weren't ready yet. If all you want is multiplayer I'd just wait for a GOTY edition for sub 20 dollars in a while, not like there's some shortage of good video games to play until then.

you are the whiniest loving bitchboy in existence, just gently caress off forever already

is it true that you can't order teammates to use abilities like the old games? that seems starkly bad, what's the point of giving squadmates abilities and upgrades if it's by chance that they use them???

There's p much everything, but it's every flavor of basic human, a smattering of other race/classes, and 4 N7 or w/e they call them now classes that are the more unique ones like the asari ninja lady. It's not nearly as many different classes as ME3 ended with, for sure, but I don't really remember how many ME3 MP started with so I can't compare.

I'm having fun so far, it's hitting that dumb scifi story itch I haven't had for a long time in a game. It reminds me of one of the episodes of TNG where poo poo hits the fan and Troi has to command the enterprise. Not one of the great episodes, mind you, but one of the middling ones. Definitely not the one where Wesley goes off with the traveler after getting coached by not native americans.

I got my Associate degree at Miskatonic Community College.
I read the paragon/renegade system is gone for the single player. I only liked the story in ME1 or 2 because of the fact that I could be a massive spacebitch and throw people out of windows and headbutt krogans. I hated ME3 for having mostly lame renegade interrupts by comparison. Can I still be a colossal rear end in a top hat in the game with no regard to the well being of others or will I be railroaded into "making tough decisions" about a bunch of characters I most likely won't care about at all?

The squadmates are basically invisible in combat, when I put it on hard I did notice that they would die sometimes and bitch about needing to be revived, but I don't think I've seen one do anything particularly useful. Maybe they get better as you level up and they have access to more abilities, but I'm just going to pick who I want along for flavor and assume I'm killing everything myself.

Open worlds are cool and good and allow me to tell the story I want to tell with a character.

i care about the hundreds of posts an hour from the same people just circlejerking about nothing.

i like it when people post about the games they are playing and share experiences with it. apparently video games are now a culture of broken human beings trying to have arguments about the objective quality of a video game like its a thing that matters.

it is a toy. buy toy and play with it or don't.

Counterpoint, the toy looks like it's covered in poo poo so I won't touch it, and I will joke around with the other children who also see it covered in poo poo as we laugh at the kids who get their hands all lovely playing with it.
