I do enjoy this game starting with blowing the gently caress out of my hometown.

Gonna be honest here, there's a lot of story beats in this game that I think don't work or are weaker and less thought out than the previous games. The original ending, and honestly the ending update, are still the worst part of it but the quality of writing as a whole is very mixed in this game in my opinion. There's a lot of little things that feel awkward/tacked on or contradictory to previous games that get overshadowed by just how truly awful the original ending was so I feel they didn't get as much attention for their own lack of quality. Also the fourth possible ending is dumb and literally the writers saying if you don't want to engage in our stupid story we're just going to ignore you.

I love that Butts Shepard is still a follower of the ABC school of combat. Always Be Charging

Ah yes, let's end the update on the least practical piece of armour ever conceived; the boobplate.

Well. I mean, yes? In universe the way weapons are designed and mass effect shields function, the armor is there mostly as a shield against the environment and to augment your own natural abilities via biotic amps, servo-assists, etc. Doesn't excuse the fact that they give shepherd boobplate, but does explain why half your team in ME2 looked like they were severely underdressed.

I do like how they provided options for all the characters to have different levels of armor, even Liara and Ash have relatively heavy-looking armor options James just looks like a loving tank.

Depending on how much time I have I might get an update out today, if not then tomorrow. Now that we're not running around in jail pajamas you'll get to see some proper ME3 vanguarding.

Poil posted:True but I don't consider that to even be armor. It offers less protection than simply wearing some wool clothing. But what is, if a space wizard warped by and enchanted that bikini with some shiny mass effect fields? It will never not amuse me how much aesthetic bullshit you could cover with the mass effect brand science-magic.

The M-8 might not be the best gun in the game but it is one of the sexiest guns in the series.

Condoleezza Nice! posted:The M-8 might not be the best gun in the game but it is one of the sexiest guns in the series. Bioware agree. So much so that it's going to be dropped into our inventories whether we like it or not in half of the cutscenes. That was actually a thing that jarred me, since I remember in Mass Effect 2 one of the dev diaries specifically called attention to how Shepard's weapons and armor carried into the cutscenes. Seems the game's rushed development meant that they defaulted to Predator and Avenger.

The M-7 Lancer with a mag extension is the only weapon most classes need, except maybe a light SMG with a power-amp on it.

Mars needs women Off to Mars. Turns out Cerberus is here for some reason as well, and they're killing pretty much everyone. I'd say this is out of character, but then we remember the first game and nope, it's more back to business as usual. Kaiden is being a whiny bitch and we yell at him, then run into our girlfriend executing some grunts like nobody's business. I guess we rubbed off on her (  ). Apparently there's some weapon that the Protheans designed and TIM wants the plans, for reasons. We'll have to hustle our buns to try and make it before they do. Also the weird looking scientist is a sleeper Cerberus agent to nobody's surprise.This episode is kinda short, but after recording the full thing it was nearly an hour and this was a sensible stopping point, so we'll finish up next time.

Poil posted:You're going to Mars to do something but Cerberus is there murdering everyone and Kaiden thinks it's convenient? Why couldn't we let both of them get nuked back in the first game? Can we shove him out of an airlock at least? At least he has the sense to sit in the corner like a good boy when Shepard and Liara have their touching moment.  I hated Kaiden back when he was still Carth, and I ditch his passive aggressive rear end as fast as possible in every playthrough of every Bioware game he's in Aaaaand the Scorpion is part 2 of my favorite glitch in the series. In my second run of ME3, I accidentally put the next section of the game into an infinite loop after using that same table you ended on. The Scorpion doesn't have enough alpha damage to stop the T-800 and I kept dying again and again

Doc Morbid posted:That'll teach you to try to mess with the cool action scenes the writer came up with! I'm assuming she won't even stumble when charged? As a rule, everything in this game taking place within primarily human locations or focused on human NPCs is terrible. It's actually impressive to think that nearly every story beat that focuses on humankind is so universally bad in ME3, since retaining humanity was the theme of the entire last game. Which we experienced as part of a human separatist movement, with almost half of our party being humans E: Cortez is pretty good though The Door Frame fucked around with this message at 12:28 on Dec 8, 2017 |

Did they ever fix the issue where you literally can not kill the final enemy of this mission if you take a weapon that fires too slow? Like, say, some of the fancy DLC or NG+ weapons they just gave you the option of equipping?

SubponticatePoster posted:Now it isn't inconceivable that the Protheans hid the stuff there hoping we'd find it in the next cycle, but ugh so many stupid plot holes. I'm annoyed that they totally quote:This at least has been addressed. Remember at the end of 2 when they're racing back to the Normandy Harbinger tells Shep she has their attention. And they were making a human reaper. Basically loving up Sovereign put us at the top of the Reapers' 10 most wanted. (I may or may not be overly cynical about this)
