It's almost like making threads impossible to find is a bad idea.

I’m sure it was a real cute inside joke at some point, but yea it’s dumb. I found the thread by looking through the old ME3 thread and found a link. I even Googled “mass effect mega thread something awful” and saw this thread title and thought “ugh, probably a joke thread about video game food and blue space food.”

Perhaps we should make a new thread then. After all, there's new Mass Effect info, a remaster of the OG trilogy and a new ME game, so it's just goons being goons why we have this dumb thread name.

Eating this food all the time will result in a variety of health issues, most noticeably rapid and sustained weight gain. Doctors call it morbid obesity. Gamers call it..... MASS EFFECT (sunrise peeks around a fat belly)

Mass Effect 2's first hour is probably the best opening 60 minutes of any video game I've ever played. Immediately you know everything about the main campaign, how the antagonists pose an immediate threat, who the major characters will be, and get to do some Mass Effecting over two fun quick intro missions. It's just an amazing and perfectly paced hour with that special blend of character, story, and action that makes Mass Effect so unique.

I can think of a few games to challenge that notion. The first two Halo games for very different reasons. Homeworld. Doom 2016.

The enormous leap in quality from ME1 to ME2 doesn't make much sense, I agree!

old thread favorite point of contention: they kill shep. they resurrect her---which is a miracle even in mass effect land. all just to have a flimsy excuse to join cerberus, and (i think) never again bring up the fact that she's basically robo jesus in me2. not counting dlc.

There's nothing perfectly paced about the slow walk through exploding spaceship, introduction of the pointless collectors, forced death of Shepard (and its subsequent resurrection) all contrived to make you work with the literal Space Nazis because Mac Walters got harder the more powerful his favourite character got (~The Illusive Man~, all powerful mastermind of the galaxy to eventually rival all the other interstellar civilizations), and then you get to the Citadel and everyone's all "lol reapers were a hoax gently caress off dead person" and of course that seals it, you HAVE TO work with the literal Space Nazis. Because you owe them! But mostly I meant the chase cutscene and slow-walk through the ship every time you restart the game, which is unskippable until the real gameplay starts. hobbesmaster posted:The intro oddly makes less sense if you played ME1

I truly hope that BioWare have the balls to double down on the Andromeda galaxy. Make it 1000 years later; more arks came through with the cool species, and we can expand out of helius cluster so we can meet more andromeda species aside from the Angaran. There is so much drat potential in the new galaxy and I want to see it realized. Just because Andromeda is a mediocre game doesn’t mean the actually premise is poor, I think the premise is awesome. They can even do more with the Remnant. Again, there’s so much potential there. We already have another Citadel in the Nexus, so it’d still basically be a reboot anyway.

"You look well for dead, Shepard." Wrex just kind of assumed that Shepard would come back from the dead because, really. Not like anything could keep Shepard down before.

the core conflict of ME2 is the battle for Shepard's soul, which puts the clicky robots at a bit of a disadvantage

Anything that is beyond the characters, Meridian and the angaran can be added more easily to the Milky Way than Andromeda. Also if Andromeda is so great why bring more Milky Way species?

Anything that is beyond the characters, Meridian and the angaran can be added more easily to the Milky Way than Andromeda. It’s never that Andromeda was great, it’s that it’s less explored and has more potential. We bring over the other species because 1. That was the original intent and 2. It keeps us rooted in the familiar. The only way I see the Milky Way working is if it’s like 1,000 years in the future and the mass relays or an alternative are repaired. But truthfully; I just want a really good game again. I’ll be hoping for something similar to ME2, but will settle for anything nearly as good as DA: I, which I’m a big fan of.
