LOL does that ever get old, shaft?

I'm still torn on this one. I don't have the time to play an epic RPG unless the story is compelling enough and I don't have to fight against the game mechanics. I have not been hearing good things about the dialogue, and so far it looks like a prettier version of what I saw from ME1. Except there are no Elcor. :(

I didn't get on with with ME1 but liked ME2 and ME3 a lot. Mechanically the games have been improving especially in combat, was good fun. The only problem I had with ME3 was the story line and that's one of the main reasons behind my love for ME2, is also why I'm holding off on this. If they havn't fucked it up then it's going on my list.

No with the profile system you can change up the gameplay significantly as well as respec for a fee in the medbay just like the last games.
This video does a good job of showing the combat combo system.

I probably have 30hrs in? The story is passable so far. The game has a more of a lighthearted tone and some of the story points you can see coming from a mile away. Ryder seems young so the dialog fits that I guess. There are more sarcastic replies like dragon age 2. It might be some peoples thing but the the tone to me seems to cheapen the story. The other thing is that the open world is overwhelming sometimes with so many rabbit holes to go down. I have a habit of wanting to delay the main quest lines too much and then I run into things that I'm not sure if I should be doing them or not. I guess its not a problem specific to MEA just open world games in general. Its definitely cool settling a planet and then coming back and seeing it change. The game gets lot of free bonus points for just being Mass Effect, so if you're a fan of the others there isn't a really good reason not to play it other then waiting for it to be discounted.

Aye, gameplay wasn't anywhere near as fun in ME3 but was still fun. Some of the battles were cool, they were bigger iirc but ME2 was a big yardstick.

If it wasn't for the last 3rd of the game then it would've been a worthy sequel imo. The final mission in ME2 was amaze and felt like that's the kind of thing they should've stuck with, just felt so much like they undone all their hardwork throughout the 3 games and it felt like a giant 'fuck you'. I still remember telling you that I wanna go back and get the perfect ending with you telling me that's as good as it gets. Never picked it up again after that.

I think my issue with ME1 was playing ME2 1st, the improvement between those 2 games was too apparent.

They do a pretty good job detonating if you prime an enemy also if you listen closely they will call out when they use their skills. It's kinda nice not having to micro manage them anyway that shit was tedious in the other games.

Picking your skills, profile and augments wisely will give you a far bigger advantage. I'm playing on hardcore and it fairly easy once I did that. I'm running energy drain, throw and incinerate and speced them so all 3 could either prime/detonate. combo apocalypse.

yeah I stopped because of spoilers, but at 2:40 not sure where they got all this footage or what type of system this is on, but that is definitely not what my conversation looked like when I talked to that woman on the planet. I would've remembered something that jarring. Same with the asari on the ground. cant speak for the rest.

edit: Judging from the description it looks like he pieced together other peoples glitch videos. Much like that duck walk video that went viral, doesn't happen to most people.

I cant get over that default female character though, they fucked that up bigtime.

The expressions on her face look overdone, maybe because her mouth is so big.
That wincing when you sit up from stasis looked completely normal on my custom character.

The problem is Memphis types. Its not good enough for someone to not just buy a game if they don't like it. They have to start Gamergate 2.0 smear campaign and personally hunt down everyone involved to try and get them fired. The liberal fake news sjw cucks are ruining my games!
The animations aren't great but its blown way out of proportion and the story is fine.
gamergate 1.0 wasnt a smear campaign, it was a grassroots consumer movement that began when the regressive alt-left attacked games and gamer culture and identity in an attempt to hijack them for their own political bullcrap purposes, thru a coordinated attack of lying misleading yt videos from their sock puppet internet radfrms and a series of articles from the corrupt media claiming that "gamers are dead". they already had hijacked movies, comics, scifi books previously. Those who forget history will repeat it. Also, it really didnt die down, the msm journo cucks got so burned by it three years ago that nowadays they still like to throw jabs at teh goobergoobers every chance they get , with an article or two. on topic, i really hope this crap effect game fails as hard as their previous crap game dragon age:diversity, and ea shuts down bioware.

Game Completion: 40%
Game Time: 47hrs

This game might be better than ME3. Hope it holds up till the end. Waiting for saturn to post conformation or tell me I'm just a fanboy.


Also, do yourself a favor and make sure you make a manual save before entering any of the planet vaults, there is a bug sometimes with the auto-saves and sometimes you cant activate the switch at the end forcing you to load whenever your last manual save is. There are quite a few posts about it on the support forum, hopefully they patch it soon.

You had to make a special account and post from a mobile phone because even you know how fucking stupid this post sounds. Go back to your safespace, trumpster.
