Playing Mass Effect 3

As i see the strongest side of this game are turian+krogan alliance, and quarian+geth alliance. Everything else seems extremely unnatural (they are the only once that really affected by the choices you made in previous games). Citadel DLC has andromeda tier writing already.
The only question that holds my mind is - why am i forcing myself through this?

The story is probably too deep for you, kid.

Is the multiplayer okay or is that just a meme propagated by Biodrones?

Wish-based bias. You like the premise and what it could be too much to accept the reality of it being unplayable mess.

Take cover + use best ability + shoot from the distance to the head, is that the most fun multiplayer you wanted?
Anyway. Protheans are wasted potential, so much commentaries on society Javik could make, he didn't. Also he's probably a nigger.

Funnily, i was constantly shitting on andromeda until i played ME3, amount of problems with animations and gameplay glitches almost the same in that game.

Who is still playing multiplayer of this shit?

People who don't know warframe exists?

When did that happen? It was just as good as 2, aside from the ending which is what soured everyone. Calling it an "unplayable mess" is a stretch.

Pardon me, but 2 didn't had broken necks and much more balanced player powers. As a vanguard on instanity difficulty i am immortal in ME3. Not to mention ending of 2 was calculated by your choices.

It would had been benefit for Mass Effect to not be trilogy, but for reaper attack happen in ME2 instead, without cerberous filler, could make bunch better game. Or even in ME1.

MUHAHAHAHAHA

Like entire classes being worthless on insanity?

Talking about female turians, what's with the turian Garrus was making out with, and the one that was helping saving the omega? Nobody remembers those? Why its a trend only since andromeda?


Better being worthless rather than broken.

warframe is shit though

Oh well I just wanted to play as one of the alien species for once
Why can't you switch characters at the press of a button in these games like Summoner 2 REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

...

Reminder that ME Autism got cracked.

You think it has some value as sci-fi. It doesn't. Stop. Every single thing in it has been done better somewhere else.
This is star trek in space with a case of "world is in danger". But done worse.

They are all humanoid anyway. All have two arms, two legs, one mouth and two eyes except protheans.

But nothing is "broken" in 3 on insanity except for Sentinels being too good, and they're too good in all three games.

Don't remind me that i love sci-fi. Its painful to remember that whole genre was completely reimagined from idealistic perspective into action packed autism.

talimancers finnally start seeing the light that is femturayrans

the porn is going to explode my friend

You mean "Cerberus" and the Illusive Man. Yes, they got derailed. Without explanation they got a fleet, a new right hand mook for the Illusive Man who is bland as a wooden plank, and resources to field an army
Also the removal of lowering gun animation triggers my autism.
And of course, the broken Avina/VI aka "Catalyst".

God, who want to fuck quarians, they can't fucking live without their suits. Its like wanting to fuck a gundam.

Really? I wonder how long it will take for me to subject myself to that torture too.

It's forgiveable there because the DLC was meant to be the fanfiction/fanservice ending, you went into it expecting that.

What's unforgivable is doing the same thing in a supposed soft reboot of a series where story and dialogue was (supposedly) the biggest draw.

idk

I hope you're aware of the direction this thread will now take because of you.

Before the sloppily shopped stock image face reveal, Tali was functionally an Asari in that she looked like whatever you wanted her to look like, which made her prime waifu bait.

Quarians, Turians and Gundams are all fuckable tbh

I don't care what the direction is, the direction is anything mass effect related, i said what i wanted to say. Might as well add that i realized over the break from Holla Forums that Cora from Andromeda is actually based on Tasha from The Next Generation.

So she will die a cheap death by some cheap blob monster?

Thanks for spoiling me, i haven't yet finished that series.

got a shitty half chan webm

Everything that can spam area projectiles is broken by default.
But vanguards are broken because they can restore 100% of their shields by charging enemies. That made zero sense.

It makes sense because that's the in-your-face playstyle of vanguards, and it doesn't really help on Insanity when your shields get popped in ~2 seconds out of cover.

Rannoch also sucked. Tuchanka is the only thing the game has going for it. I still don't know if I hate ME3 more for being ME3 or ME2 more for accomplishing nothing and making ME3 inevitable.


1488 Cora needs to be pushed harder.

I'd hate ME2 too more for its mission structure. The majority of the game is recruiting squad mates, so you have very few main missions to play through and see how the story is nonsensical and ruined. If you looked at the writing quality of the main ME2 missions, they're just as bad as ME3. Mac Walters should never have gotten promoted to lead writer. The man cannot write a proper story to save his life.

turaryans needs to be pushed even harder

As soon as Mordin dies everything goes to shit. ME2 introduced him, and ME3 killed him.
Either you make him die heroically, or make the best part of the game go ugly.

sara is best waifu :)

This is going to become a huge meme, isn't it?

...

This is enabling the normalization of mental illness. Go fuck yourself.

This is so fucked up on so many levels.

I like all the autistic accoutrement scattered around the room.

Nope. It's enabling the popularity of ME:A. Which is worse.

Only the mentally ill would play Mass Effect 3 and 4, so…

tbh I don't even feel like playing it any more, and the 50 GB isn't helping

The only reason I'm pirating this game is to see how her romance plays out firsthand.

you can someone here make a turaryan pic with vetra or another turian in a nazi armband

You know it, Hitler.

There had to be some redeeming qualities to MEA.

Hey, I recognize that ramen.


It's a work of art.

I can jerk off to this.

It's a catastrophically disappointing fade to black. Watch it on YouTube instead.

Someone has to make the sacrifice user. God bless.

Another good reason why they need to fuckin' die.

pirate the game it's worth it for her


tfw we could of had this youtube.com/watch?v=oJ5waeCv5lk fucking lesbo cunts

lesbians are the first to be hung on the day of the rope

No arguements here.

I'm disappointed in these pics for not having a significantly taller Turian waifu.

I changed my mind. I hate ME2 more than ME3.

they do have that problem, criminal lack of male human on tall femturian shit

uncensored versions of these?

LOL

...

First mass effect isn't great either, its extremely short, like an intro, a demo game.


7 main missions total, took me just three days with lots of rest to 100% whole game with all optional missions. Even asteroid DLC is just another mako mission. That compared to ME2 where you get to recruit and complete loyalty missions for 12 crew members aside main missions is impossibly short. ME1 doesn't deserve to be called the best in the series. Its too damn short.

...

I don't see the problem with it being short. It doesn't waste your time and you still get what you want.

Would you rather a few missions which had good writing, characters, and story, or lots of missions which are either disparate and incoherent (ME2) or just pure shit (ME3) in the writing departments?

I prefer quality over quantity. Same reason I hate the open world sandboxes full of mediocrity. I have shit to do irl; if you're going to have me play in a story, you need to balance the dollar spent per hour with the quality of the story.

The trick is that they're all shit games. ME was never good, no BioWare game was ever good.

IIRC there is a dozen instance maps in total, which is a fucking joke. It's basically barely more than the act 1 of KOTOR.

The ugly truth is that Mass Effect has never been good, the 1 had solid storytelling/lore setting but shitty gameplay (mini-games, horrible inventory), the second had hard retcon/start of really stupid writing cancer cleverly disguised by decent character arcs (well Garus & Tali really) and better gameplay.

Both are somewhere between meh and ok games.
The third is when the cancer metastasized, the fourth is the beating of a dead horse.

Problem is the same than with Star Citizen.
We're so fucking starved for a decent sci-fi game any semi-decent crap is enjoyed and remembered as the second coming of Christ.

The first part is kino (until you get to Mars).
Jokes aside, the only good thing in ME3 is the multiplayer.

I really have to wonder why it's so hard to make sci-fi games that aren't just modern military first person shooters with a bunch of neon glued on top.

I'd imagine it's easier to make a game where you shoot futuristic guns than it is one where you swing a sword.

I remember playing ME and getting to the Citadel.

...

which ayy romance would you want to see?

All it does is waste your time. Every animation is ridiculously long, the elevators, unskippable normandy cutscenes and pointless coppypasted sidemissions with barely a paragraph of text explanation. Signs of War/Turian Insignias/Matriarch Writings/Prothean Artefacts is some of the worst shit I saw in any videogame.


In ME1? Are you serious? Thorian is a fucking mess, despite its usefulness you can only kill it, and the scene with Fai Dan taking 30 seconds to shoot himself despite Shepard having a grenade that could knock the dude out instantly. Noveria and Feros are mostly corridor shootouts with occasional Mako driving in a corridor. Liara recruitment is barely a mission, and in it Shepard decides that shooting a mining laser near an unstable volcano is an amazing idea. On Virmire either Ashley or Kaidan die just for the stakes, there is no reason for it to happen.
ME1 UNC missions did sideqests worse than shit like asscreed ever could.
Thing is, Mass Effect 2 cut the fat and focused on polishing each mission instead of making a fuckton of copypasted shit, and yet I constantly see people pretending it was the other way around.

...

Wait, never paid attention. They have tits? What else could explain that chest shape?

it's up for debate

A threeway with both or you're a dumb motherfucker.

No amount of autistic attention to detail can redeem the behavior these images seek to normalize.

I thought they had a metallic carapace or something.

Honestly, they are fucking xeno's. To want to fuck them is heresy.

...

Definitely the best Cora!

It reminds me of the elfpig and asari shrek tumblr posts.

...

YES

Wait a minute, that main menu…


Nazism is just closet-communism but I'd totally convert for that and then be probably executed for being a traitor defeatist.

R

Get the fuck out you disgusting normalfag

you're not missing out on much
after she dies, worf becomes chief of security, and does an equally bad job as her, so nothing's really changed
just watch episodes that include klingons/romulans/Q, everything else aside from some fun episodic stuff is garbage

...

I really wish this lefty meme would die.

...

...

I enjoyed the ME1 side missions; they captured the sense of explanation in a pretty compelling way for me, for some reason. Although I'll admit it's subjective.

Sucks, but I think it was decently explained.

Pretty trivial a point, but that was an oversight on their part.

I thought the former had good writing. Although the latter was pretty lame.

Yeah, that was dumb as well.

The situation that they were in meant that only one could be saved by the player. I don't see how that's contrived, but maybe you have an argument.

ME2's missions were thematically and narratively disconnected; in ME1 you were following up a plot all the way through to the end, while in ME2 you had a main story which was inchoate and did little to advance from the story of ME1 (while also radically changing the tone and transitioning from a details-first story to a drama-driven narrative). ME2 is like opening a book with a toddler's scribblings on the front and back of the jacket and then having 12 novellas of varying quality fall out, each of which is taken from different sections of the library.

She's a big girl.

Nat-soc is nationalism + socialism.
Communism is internationalism + socialism (the actual name of the original movement is the "Socialist International", which evolved in Communist International a.k.a. the Comintern).
Nat-Soc actually work and is a literal "how to make a ruined country into a superpower in 5 year. Step 1: expel the money lenders. Step 2: stop basing currency on debt." when communism is always a million death away from utopia, Step 1: Kill everyone on top. Step 2 base the currency on production. Step 3: kill everyone actually generating growth. Step 4: kill everyone that complain. Step 5: be surprised when it collapses. Step 6: Say it wasn't real communism.

...

The majority of the missions were straight up recruitment or to improve the crew members. Then you have the main villains come off like glorified side quest bosses.

Hum…Those are some piercing eyes. I always found female turians interesting and well designed. It's a good thing to finally have one.

They BLACKed a turian lady? ;_;
nuBioWEAr needs to die.

i'd fuck it

What soured everyone was that ME3 is an obvious rushed job to put the game on shelves and make a quick buck solely on hype as fast as possible, only retards point to the ending and say that's the game's only fault.

Starting from the writing which is what got so many people into the series in the first place,

Then we move on to the content

And I'm not even nitpicking here, most of these are game-wide problems. If I was nitpicking I could have easily brought up Tali's picture, or Cortez, or Ashley's change into Jersey Shore Girl, or a shitload of other stuff that on their own are not very significant but when they all pile up together you end up with a shitshow of a game.

While not an unplayable mess, it sure as fuck made sure that it was so bad it completely killed my interest in replaying ME1 or 2 ever again.

That "artist" should be executed fur such hideous faces. Is he working for BioWare or what?

What was wrong with Cortez? Everyone talked about him like he was on the same level as that
moment in Andromeda or that lore-breaking Qunari tranny in Inquisition, but I never understood this. I think he was fine, even if he was just there to give people playing a gay Shep something to fuck.

Making Kaidan gay out of the blue was worse.

He was pretty shit though, but yes Kaidan was worse.

ME2 is shit. ME2 is the worst Mass Effect. ME2 durdles and accomplishes nothing making ME3 inevitable, ME3 is ME2's fault. Everything bad about ME3 can be traced back to ME2.


It's hard to be worse than Steve. Kaidan is better than Steve and better than Ashley tbh. Ashley's story has closure when she dies on Virmire.

This isn't completely true (by this definition you can make a case that Stalin was natsoc, or at least not communist). The real distinction is that communists view the wealthy and successful as the cause of the problems of the poor and unsuccessful, while natsoc merely says they have a duty to help the nation and particularly its least fortunate members. They're both called "socialism", but the way that socialism is grounded is totally different.

He only brings it up in the second dialogue you have with him, which given how few dialogues you have with your crew is fairly late. It is really, really dumb that he gets so much attention compared to much better established crew members like Dr. Chakwas and the engineers, though.

It's Action Mode that takes away the dialogue options, but that's nitpicking when you're absolutely right in pointing out that ACTION MODE and NARRATIVE MODE were the shittiest things to add to the game. Undoubtedly courtesy of Hamburger "I don't like playing video games" Hepler and her "fuck me against a wall" lewd fanfic tier writing.

BioWare never did anything with Chakwas, that's so fuckin dumb. She isn't even in the Citadel DLC.
She's a a nice character, and deserved a better treatment. Definitely.

The engineers? You mean Daniels and Donely right?
Damn I'd have love to sandwich Daniels with Kenneth in the engine room.

Yes, as well as Adams. It's a little bit more understandable with him because he didn't have much dialogue in ME1, though.

Jesus who made this shit?, the whole thing just oozes of autism (which made it perfect)
I think i've seen Windows 10-tan in this artstyle as well

You are right, I only worded it out like that because it really felt like I was railroaded towards his big 'reveal' and I know this keeps being brought up, but I can't help it but think about Arcade from F: NV and his execution. But the minimal Dr. Chakwas exposure was a travesty.


Holy shit I completely forgot there were 2 different modes, the rage from 5 years ago is all coming back to me.

I kinda liked Jenkins before he kicked the bucket for being a dumbass.

Maybe they could've made him the staple of the whole trilogy: his personality, powers, actions etc were subjected to change by you through the games.

There were 3. Narrative which was supposed to cut down the gameplay. Action which was supposed to cut down the dialogue and story. And a version that was supposed to be true to Mass Effect.

After I finished the game the first time and I had no fucking clue what was happening I was convinced that I had accidentally picked Action mode and that was why the story was shit. Tried playing again making sure that I wasn't playing on a neutered version of the game. Got to Palaven, nothing had changed, I had been playing the full game the whole time. I hate nuBioWEAr.

Maybe. BioWare died the first time when they were acquired in 2010.

REMINDER THAT INDOCTRINATION THEORY IS INTENTIONAL + KINO

Is this the current Andromeme thread

I wonder if they're gonna bother to make a 3D scan for a hwite Ryder preset.

That theory was, is and will always be nothing but a fan theory.


The priorities of AAA gaming industry…

REEEE

You mean the prothean VI from the first game? He obviously wasn't indoctrinated yet.

No, the one on Thessia, that recognize Javik.

...

I love the commander jones meme

So, i finally completed my playthrough of the trilogy. Replayed ME1 and 2, and ended the third one. Expanded galaxy mod kept my virtual wallet spent.
Somebody recommended me to play with MEHEM mod and it was low quality garbage alternative ending, with shit voices and low quality videos. Only animation with alive shepard was worth it, so i replayed the ending again without the mod, and you know what?
Catalyst at the ending made full sense of itself. I especially enjoyed the mentions of leviathan from dlc, where Catalyst admitted his creators. It makes full sense for him as a last measure to convince Shepard to kill himself or muh EDI and Geth will be hurt. Good riddance i was renegade as fuck, and organics come first than the things they created, the fact alone that renegade is the true ending is a nice touch. Blue is a color of reapers after all.

There was no point in hating anything, sorry to sound like a goon, but extended cut + leviathan make full sense of it. And Shepard is alive at the end anyway. ME3 by far the second most well made mass effect game after the first one. If ME2 wouldn't exist, and generally story had more polish in corners, maybe Mass Effect dilogy would be the best option for the series instead.

Now i am hungry for more space games, and i am sure as fuck not going to try that andromeda trainwreck.

Now replay as Alex Jones and be a conspiracy theorist nutjob.

...

...

Nope. Actually i choose the Ruthless followed by War Hero. Never played with Sole Survivor, it's boring.

Agreed, even if I stil hate that fuckin starchild.
I thing the "dream" sequences are worse than the ending istel. Those things are pointless in both story and gameplay.
It's just a pitiful try to give Shepard some PTSD. Which is stupid as fuck.

Anyway,
Good to see you didn't play as whorebitch, aka femshep, but as a man.
Yeah, I don't like femshep at all. Shepard was never created to be a woman.

Actually that was a bug, there was other reactions, but due "good programing" the romance reaction was the only who got triggered.

Cortez doesn't even have to die.

good shit, nigger, good shit. even got some shota and krogans with quads, fuckin awesome

Anyway, it's a bug.

Funnily i tried to make different custom look every time, but end up looking the same anyway. Might as well post stats.

Didn't know that.


Looks kinda cool in ME3 I must say.
Best choice, especially on Insanity…Well, unless you have godlike Garrus. Freezing ennemies really helps.
Never been good as a Vanguard by the way. Too risky for my taste. I'm an Engineer player.


Slutty femshep is the only good femshep. Well, at least that's how I see her.

What a fag.

Now i wonder what to do after dealing with ME series.

Watch Star Trek intensively?
Get into X3/X Rebirth?
Play Alpha Protocol, i heard its similar gameplay wise?

Don't think i am going to replay ever again, because only femshep would be something unique, and i am not convinced to do that.

Alpha Protocol is recommended. It trades some of the shooting quality for a lot better RPG-elements.

You can play kotor 1 and 2 I guess

Kotor 1 and 2 could be interesting. If you can deal with the gameplay.
Let's be honest, it didn't age well.

I used to mod difficulty of kotor 1 myself, replayed it many times. Kotor 2 crashed for me after Kreia's fight long time ago and i don't remember it well, i guess i can try that one again.

Thanks, i'l play it.

Now I understand why that VR femShep said: "Ever wrestled a varren for money?"

...

Dont forget to get the restored content mod

I know right.
That's also why the "Urz"varren mod is a must have if you play as femshep. Canon romance, you know.


My main Shepard is actually a Spacer/War Hero. Loved the fact in that background Shep sill have a parent, and since I've always found space fascinating, there was no other choice for me.


Best post-credits scene ever, no doubt. :^)
Even if I hate that blue cunt.

Onahole Shepard when?

...

I mostly agree. There would have been nothing wrong with the extended ending if the catalyst had appeared as one of your dead party members instead of that little shit (with the dream sequences also being altered to match, have them be about Shepard reliving the deaths of his crew rather than this random kid who doesn't matter, which also lets you put actual gameplay in the dreams).

ME3 was still a bad game, though. The only impact of most choices in the previous games was on your score (other than a few cases where they just didn't feel like writing a path for one side of the choice and so it gets screwed–there was no good reason not to bring Morinth back if you let her live). Gameplay was less polished than ME2 but with fewer options than ME1. Writing had Andromeda/DAI level retardation starting to sneak in, and by the time they made Citadel it had completely taken over.

wtf is this

I wanted to make a better shoop but I couldn't find a screencap with the default femshep face, and I can't find a femshep 3D model with that robe for SFM

I don't know if I prefer shotacon femshep or beasty femshep…
Too bad it's not possible to mod ME3 that much.


That's what happen when you "embrace eternity". Creepy shit.


Can't help with that sorry. I know nothing about SFM.That's a fun pic anyway.

hey user can you make one for vetra?

...

This looks more a terror/monster stuff than "erotica".

Like that?

yes more please for this glorious meme?

Mass Effect adds nothing to vidya games but bad memes

...

...

wewlad

Bretty good
10/10

Is this done by one extremely autistic guy or are you gays trying to force a meme here?

Could be both.

I think most people snagged up the stuff from the repeating Andromeda thread so it's all that most have.

It's probably one guy. I usually post other porn.

Daily reminder of BioCuck's priorities for their AAA games.

Torrent just finished and have been playing a bit. Is good so far. Many many cringe SJW influences it distracts you from the immersion of the game. The fact they have a serious mission and then are mentioning some bullshit to you? Shepard would Renagade QTE shoot these people in the face.

Looking for a patch as my armour is not holding its colour when I try to customise.

someone will need to crack the game's patch when it comes out
considering it only took 10 fucking days for a crack I wouldn't doubt their abilities to get it to us soon

Jesus, there's a petition on the Internet (from LGBT defenders, aka faggots ) that asks the developpers to make Cora a bisexual woman…

Those fuckers cannot stand the idea of a true straight woman.

Eventually Mass Effect will just be a gay dating sim, without the whole science fiction elements. I can see them making a prequel that takes place in San Francisco, and deals more with social issues.

ME:A is like Cisquisition, they added a bunch of lens flares and called it science fiction.

Reminder this was true for vetra before they got to her
Faggots really want everyone to be a bunch of queers

Why not put the option to bash him as well? You know… "renegade" option, being a "bigot".

Because it's not politicaly correct.
I agree with you anyway, I'd like to be a jerk if I want too. Especially here.

That was the good thing on ME1, you could be quite xenophobic if you want.

That was the good times. Now the new dialogue system has only one answer (the one wanted by the writer) and you can only choose the way the line will be delievered, usually 2 choices: semi-professional or snark/Whedon.

NOT CANON

It'd be more accurate to say that Worf tries to do a better job than her, but gets hamstrung by his superiors.

...

Change the name for Sara, and that would be perfect.

Talk about JRPG choices Poo poo asks to join you after being nothing but garbage and an idiot the whole time and you say "No" then she says "C'mon" and your character says yes without any option.

The character is superfluous to the story and it'd be good if Ryder could just shoot her or tell her to get lost.

Nothing more scottish than a person named "Suvi Anwar" :^)

Context for this line?
