Mass Effect

[Hot Heart]

I guess it's a bit like, "OK, my mission with the Collectors is done. I'm no longer with Cerberus, back to the Alliance, I go. Some of you may or may not want to stick around."

 

Then the Alliance was all "You think you can just waltz back in here and...just waltz back in here?! You were working with people what do terrorist things. TO PRISON WITH YOU."

 

And instead of Shepard going "Fuck you! I am/was a Spectre or whatever" he was like, "Sure, whatever, guys. But there's one big 'I told you so' coming if the Reapers attack now."

[Hot Heart]

Also, this is probably more a personal thing, but some of the writing with Miranda seems a little weak. I mean, the first encounter was really good, but the other stuff feels a bit flat, with some lame dialogue.

 

And I feel perhaps they missed a bigger opportunity with the whole 'femme fatale' idea they had originally imagined for her in ME2. I mean, I guess it depends on what happened at the end of ME2, but they probably could've played up whether you can trust her or not.

 

Then again, I don't know what she's done with those Alliance resources...

She had her cameraman disappeared.

[Hot Heart]

But he was only a little guy! He could barely shoot above the waist.

I don't care what anyone says - Mordin, Legion, and Javik practically steal the show when it comes to lines. Grunt's got some pretty great ones too, and probably has the most memorable line in the entire game.

 

"I don't need luck. I have ammo."

It's what keeps her alive in the Sanctuary mission, I believe. In my quick insanity run, I was still able to convince her dad to let Oriana go, but Miranda was dying in my arms the next second. I don't know how or why though, I was skipping dialogue at every chance.

I think Tali's emergency induction port was hilarious.

That is what it does, but it's never really explained what exactly made the difference. Kai Leng kicks the crap out of her either way, but in one she dies and the other she doesn't.

Oh god, that line. My girlfriend is a huge Tali fan, and now every time we go to a restaurant with straws, she calls them 'emergency induction ports'.

 

 

If you also fail to mention that Kai Leng is running around while talking to her during one of the convos, she doesn't know he's around, and so she can't prepare for him. She basically dies.

Best line in the whole game.

You love Mass Effect and you have a girlfriend who loves Mass Effect. Sounds like a keeper in my books. And not one of the gross green ugly ones.

I'd say more, but I think I might make you guys horribly jealous. Needless to say, in multiplayer, she is the Quarian Engineer to my Krogan Soldier.

 

And she also has the M-99 Saber. And won't use it. Le sigh.

My wife likes to play Firefight with me, so I tried to get her to try the Mass Effect multiplayer. She got to the level-up stage of character creation, said "this is too complicated" and quit.

[TCP]

If I was you, that'd be grounds for divorce!

You mean she's from a family of clowns?! So jelly!!

To be fair, until I got some more experience with how the game works, every rank 4,5,6 decision took me forever.

[Hot Heart]

Yeah, jimmuh, I'm not gonna read your spoiler-tagged reply, thanks.

[Vargras]

Next time you folks play through singleplayer, play this video when you get to the end. It'll be more satisfying.

Well, all this bullshit over the endings has officially made international news. Yes, really. It's on the BBC site now.

Well, I'm happy. Got the Crusader out of my commendation pack. Spent the next match sniping things with it.

[Waldorf and Statler]

The brits are paying attention to us.

 

MAGIC EXISTS :'D

[Strangelove]

 

 

 

Is this really how a lot of people interpret the ending? I think this image is fucking stupid on a lot of fucking levels. Seriously?

[Waldorf and Statler]

It's a really heavy handed parody meant to make those that hated the ending laugh. You think it's stupid on many fucking levels, I think it's fucking hilarious and truthful to an extent.

[jimmuhpage]

Got the N7 shotgun **meh**

 

But on a separate pack, I got the salarian infiltrator.

One step closer to infiltrator godhood. I already have Mantis X with Sniper Barrel V and Spare Ammo V. Just need to unlock the sal inf 4 more times, the Widow ten times, and the Black Widow ten times. Shouldn't take very long, right?

Don't you 'meh' me. The Crusader is actually pretty damn good if you use the right mods with it. I've got the high caliber barrel + smart choke on it, and it's essentially a sniper rifle for me. Just go for headshots and you're golden.

 

I actually had someone mock me in the lobby over voice chat, and tell me how much better the Claymore was. I smoked his ass on points, and lead everyone else by 20k. Don't underestimate it.
