Since I don't think we're going to see much of Jason once the game progresses, I'll point out now he's boring in the same way a staunch top-left mashing paragon is - entirely too reasonable and mellow for his own good regardless of situation.

Manic_Misanthrope posted:They really try to sell you on the whole Cerberus thing here, staffing the ship with all your old buddies to make it feel like home. It's weird to come into this game first since it seems like Cereberus was built up as the renegade analogue of the alliance since the council does disavow knowledge of the  reapers in a pretty callous manner and the alliance does just goes along with it - even at the cost of colonist deaths/disappearances and wasted resources fighting the geth. Most of the new crew seems to be dissatisfied ex-alliance and other dudes fed up with current leadership that are willing to join this spooky group with a rep for shady science since they get stuff done. Of course nearly every bit of shady science Cereberus does in this game, the Frankenstein resurrection of Shepard, the procurement, copy and construction of a secret military warship, the development of a true AI, etc, etc, etc all work out. Then it turns out that nearly everything Cerberus did in this game was their one shining moment in an ocean of mustache-twirling failure

Eh, all the submachine guns in ME2 had their niche imho. The shuriken will barrier strip a praetorian on insanity insanely fast, while the tempest is good up close. The only weapon class with a couple clear cut top dogs was shotguns iirc.

Oddly Bioware seems better at DLC type stuff. Their typical mainplots usually involve something catastrophic happening, the world or galaxy is actually ending, but on the other hand your squadmates are generally in good spirits/humorous and there's a ton of lighthearted moments from here to there leading to a tiny bit of dissonance. Usually DLCs that focus on hanging out with your bros doing less important stuff come off the better for it. It's hard to imagine Shepard taking time to make sure Jack bombs his old neighborhood or Grunt's adolescence runs through smoothly, if say, the reapers had already arrived. ...Well, ignoring the Citadel DLC for now. monster on a stick posted:I always thought the default SMG was kinda crappy and so always made an early Kasumi loyalty mission run just for the Tempest or whatever it's called. The Shuriken was good but super niche-y. It was high damage, high barrier/shield damage, low accuracy, modestly low ROF for an smg. It was really good at shooting big things especially if they had the right defensive layers but you'd have to be quite close to see its full potential against small humanoids so most peopled just lockered it for the tempest or locust. As far as ARs go the Avenger and Vindicator were both pretty good too iirc - sometimes I went for the rifle pick-up on non-soldier classes just for the Vindicator. hard counter fucked around with this message at 06:13 on Jun 28, 2016 |

As fun as Grunt is, picking up Okeer himself instead would've been neat too. It'd be a fun twist to have a krogan scientist on the squad, maybe one that can play off Moridin's character, over another krogan punchman warrior just for the difference.

I think Jack being a woman was a more lukewarm reveal than they intended. My reaction like 6 years ago was more of an o.k. versus the astonishment of your party, save the the bemused "that being is smaller than the reputation would suggest" of legion.

EponymousMrYar posted:I also dislike alchohol, but the Vindicator Rifle is my rifle of choice in this game. It's three shot burst is super accurate and easy to get headshots (either partial or full bursts,) combined with various ammo powers from the Soldier tree and it can take out whole swaths of enemies by itself. I liked the vindicator in this one it's very, very respectable. I also remember it being reasonably good in me3 but I never got those special weapon dlcs so I don't know if they gave you something as good as me2's mattock there.

He loves that lovely rifle I'd say Jack definitely counts since her thing concerns her adoptive family. Same with Grunt. Garrus and Zaeed are a bit of a stretch however. Still tho, ~9 out of 12 missions having that kind of consistency is nothing to sneeze at.

SubponticatePoster posted:"I hated them, they hated me." Well, that does sound like some siblings True but it is amusing to point out some of the people who don't have a family related thing actually can't have one due to backstory and thus straddle the line with surrogates and substitutes. The closest thing to an upbringing/fostering/childhood Jack has was with Cerberus though it was clearly abusive, she has no other identity to fall back on (Jacqueline Nought is just a play on Subject Zero) and sadly the closest thing she can have to a cathartic confrontation with her abusers was confronting an inanimate building with a bomb since that project's long been abandoned. Conveniently the last other Cerberus kid is there for her to vent on or to finally walk away from. Moridin's both crazy old and chose not to reproduce despite receiving generous breeding contracts because of his prodigy - the closest thing he could have to a family would be the proteges he's mentored. Likewise the closest thing to family Grunt had was Okeer and he's both dead and didn't leave behind the appropriate mental imprints - he needs a surrogate to guide him through the Krogan rites of passage. You could make less convincing arguments for Kasumi & Garrus imho but it's there for you to squint at since a pattern has certainly emerged. To me only Zaeed's mission is definitely cut from a different cloth.

grack posted:Not only is Joe boring and generic, his weapon loadout and his powers are also terrible. The perfect character (to leave on the Normandy)! It's like they purposefully made him as support as possible, pull is just a set-up for biotic bombs this time around and incendiary ammo is something you could spec up so he buffs the party. Barrier does make him survivable but that means holding off until end game... but Grunt does that better anyway. He did look effective in the video with the geth shotgun tho, normally my squadmates fold like paper on that mission. grack posted:Yeah. Miranda was basically in my party through most of the game unless I was playing as a Sentinel. One character with both Warp and Overload is really, really useful even if her weapons are crap. Conversely Miranda is as useful as possible, slam has both a setup phase for biotic combos and a detonation trigger and her other abilities can strip any defensive layer making her effective on any and every mission. She also passively boosts weapon damage iirc.

EponymousMrYar posted:Jacob might be boring but I like him because he doesn't whine incessantly and is generally competent, even if he is a boring support dude. It's enough that I remember his name He mostly suffers from being the mildly pleasant support guy in a game with like 12 team mates - some of whom are returning fan favorites, others of whom are Zaeed. It's hard to find a slot for him.

I love watching Thane wreck people in cqc so it's good to hear that he won't be visiting any more vents  Kasumi's stealth strike would make more sense on Thane than his relatively weak shredder ammo imho but what are you gonna do.

I could see that at a quick glance since they're both huuuuge, horned humanoids but there's no question about it, the one in the vault is like a direct lift of the DA:Origins version - armor and all. The comment Kasumi gives isn't special tho unless the alleyways she refers to loosely ties to the endless alleyways of kirkwall/deeproads.

I think it definitely shows that the mission was written like 6 years ago. IMHO it was originally framed as more of a thrill of absolute authority thing for Jacob's dad with literal monuments being built for his worship, the doling out of punishments/exile, the elimination of other leaders, the brainwashed male servants, etc. In 2016 it reads more like a creepy sex thing since we're used to looking more at subtext now. If bioware was running that angle nowadays they'd probably use a completely different scenario, one that's not 2edgy4u.

That makes sense, Miranda can biotically tangle with asari mercs at least as the last video showed. That would match her with (as usual) the top 1% of yoomanity. makes you wonder where biotic shepard fits on the spectrum tho

grimlock_master posted:The only one that rivals the vanguard is the infiltrator. Then you get to shoot out the pilot of the atlas and board it! I prefer their versatility, it's telling that SP decided to roll with a sniper rifle secondary. I do appreciate that vanguards feel real high intensity tho. You can't quite match that as even as a shotgun infiltrator who flickers out and delivers [right hooks] to enemy spines.
