Krogans are boring, I hope they're not in and BioWare instead made another race to be What If Orcs, But Too Much.

Eej posted:Krogans own and the stupidest thing they did in ME1 was give you an option to kill Wrex because it prevented them from working the actual best character in the series into the main plot more. Eh, individual Krogans in the games have been great, but the overall idea of the race is kind of boring. That's why I'm hoping there's just a few Krogans that stowed away or whatever, rather than having them be a big presence.

Peebee is probably short for PB-1138 because she spent most of her 100 Asari teenager years in juvie. Her light hearted attitude is a cover for the deep emotional trauma she experienced being beaten up and abused on the regular. Luckily Ryder is there to help her through this journey. With his dick. Also killing Wrex makes the first two games worse but makes the third game's Krogan plot way more interesting.

God drat it, I just realized I deleted ME3 from our PS3 to make room for Yakuza 5, and I want so badly to get in some rounds of MP.

They should really tie the DA and ME games together by putting Iron Bull in. We know from Kasumi's loyalty mission that they take place in the same universe.

I assume, or at least hope, that absolutely nobody in here is the Game Theory guy trying to make a claim as to the objective truth of whether two game series "really" take place in the same Universe. Good gravy, y'all.

Moola posted:there are good parts to me3 sp, but overall its flat and by the numbers ME3 is 90% an extremely good game, hampered by being almost unbelievably easy, especially once you play any of the multiplayer. "Shepard! It's a Banshee! Oh my God! ONE loving BANSHEEEEEE!" e: And if you don't care about the story stuff in Citadel, it's also worth it for the Battle Arena because it's basically intense solo MP mode

It's kind of amazing that much of the best dialogue in ME3 was hidden away in NPC-to-NPC conversations that most people just ran past without listening to. I hope they bring that back. Inquisition didn't really have that happen often (at all?)

What is this obsession with having aliens that look nothing like humans, who cares? This is a Star Trek style universe, everything is bipedal, why does it matter? The only issue I'm seeing is that the Tekk look almost exactly like the Protheans, to the point that I'm pretty sure it will be revealed that they're the same species.

Thor-Stryker posted:Aliens that don't look like humans are far more interesting than pansexual squidhead ladies. I'm not saying I disagree, at all, I'm saying who the flip cares as long as the game and story are good. And Hanar and Elcor? They're in the games so rarely I literally didn't think of them. There's all of one Hanar in the whole trilogy you ever see in person, you never actually interact with them and their main purpose for existing is for a really terrible joke told very slowly. Elcor I'll grant you look different from humans, but not that much - they still have two arms and two legs (or four legs, two of which look more like arms, whatever). I'm just saying, some posting is starting to sound like the kind of people who bought Monster Manual 2 and unironically thought Modrons were awesome.

Zzulu posted:Making sure players have empathy for the aliens is code for I'm not saying that isn't true, I'm just saying who cares as long as it ends up good and that having weirdo races does literally nothing to increase or decrease the odds of the game being good. The ME series and Bioware in general are things that are expected to have a massive fan base. They stopped playing 2 hour long drunken sets in bars over a decade ago.

Infinity Gaia posted:There's at least two or three. I remember at least one in 1 and two in 3. There were probably more in 1 that I'm forgetting, I always only remember the one with the stupid preaching sidequest that I hate because I usually don't have enough Paragon/Renegade points to complete it the ~best way~ on my first trip to the Citadel. My gaming OCD hates that quest so loving much. It was hard to make myself specifically remember not to talk to him until I had a few missions done.

I've never understood why nobody picks Engineer, I think it's the second most fun behind Sentinel and those two are also imo the easiest, especially for 2. Incinerate, Overload and the Locust will solve every problem in the game quite quickly.

I'm replaying the whole trilogy right now, but it's the first time I'm playing on PC. ME1 on PC is legitimately a Good Game, no caveats required. The combat is a lot less rear end with M+KB.

Cowcaster posted:i know when i think bioware games i think "serviceable, competent ai companions" The squadmate AI in 2 was pretty much perfect, I rarely had to pause the game and say "NO MIRANDA GODDAMN IT CAST OVERLOAD" Then again every trilogy playthrough I do, I end up just doing all the work. I just did the fight at the end of recruiting Liara in ME1 and I forgot how absolutely braindead your guys are, they just stand there and let the Krogan kill them in the first 2 seconds of the fight even on Normal.

Lycus posted:As commerce areas go, the ME2 Citadel was as boring as possible. Stack of three rectangles and nothing interesting to look at. ME1 had one town and it was pretty awesome. ME2 had three towns. Omega was pretty awesome and fun to explore. Citadel was ridiculously bad, especially since you can see the "old" Citadel town from Anderson's window but you can't go shop there what the gently caress. Illium was as boring as Citadel, in fact a little moreso. ME3 was back to one town, but this time Citadel was properly large and also changed frequently throughout the game, which made going back there not so bad. The only reason ME2 gets a pass for boring towns is that you only have to visit each one like once, maybe twice if you're obsessive about buying everything.

I look forward to once again playing and enjoying the gently caress out of a BioWare game while reading all the funny posts from people who have been mad at the company for literally over a decade but still keep playing their games and/or making GBS threads up their threads. The cycle continues.

Inquisition marketing was insanely low-key, I bought it as soon as it came out but just about the only thing I knew was that you'd get to have a castle and you could date a fabulous Spanish man.

It's always weird when gamers post bad ad copy as if bad ad copy is not a thing that has existed for like 1000 years. Somewhere I'm sure there's a website that aggregates all the hilarious things that record labels have said about their bands over the years. That stuff alone is so much worse than anything Bioware has written.
