The only degenerates are the ones who actually think Reddit is a single minded entity.

Also if you're surprised to find someone on the Mass Effect General who's excited about the next Mass Effect game, then I'd have to ask you wtf you were expecting, and why are you even on here?

The samefagging of the Biodrone is off the charts.

You know how obvious it is with this little posters in the thread, right?

>>154242865
>The only degenerates are the ones who actually think Reddit is a single minded entity.
since posts get downvoted to oblivion or outright deleted by the mods if they don't conform with their leftist/subreddit hivemind you can for all intents and purposes consider it a single minded entity

>>154242865
>The only degenerates are the ones who actually think Reddit is a single minded entity.
Each subreddit obviously is. The Donald Trump subreddit is a single minded entity of Trump supporters, the Clinton one would be for Clinton if Clinton-fans actually existed, and the ME one is full of raging fanboys like you who don't tolerate the slightest bit of criticism.

Their frontpage literally has a thread complaining about people being critical, even though there's nothing but mindless praise on there.

>>154244994

So do I.

I still haven't gotten over that extended cut goodbye scene (mainly because there's no real payoff) and still don't forgive Bioware for having that be the last dialogue I ever get to pick with any squadmate because their next game begins hundreds of years after everyone's dead, in another galaxy. Not even shitposting.

>>154245821
I honestly don't remember how ME3 ended with the final dialogs and everything.

I just remember the little flashbacky thing as you're deciding what color to pick and fucking Liara being there.

"I have a home".

>>154246501
yeah I never got that.
from what I heard the extended cut didn't actually do anything either.

>>154246996
Don't accuse me of being a biodrone. ME3 is the only game in the series I spent more than ten bucks on and I'm still assblasted about how shitty the last hour was five years later (not that the rest of the game didn't have problems, but I've more or less gotten over those). And I think Andromeda is going to be mediocre. Or else we would have gotten something more substantial by now.

>>154247035
It made some improvements, like making it so the mass relays weren't destroyed and the Normandy wasn't stranded (so now we aren't just left to assume everyone died pointlessly), and showing quick shots of a few characters after the war, but it was still just trying to polish the shit it took on your game rather than fucking cleaning it.

>>154247769
then don't talk like an idiot

>>154242865
It is a single-minded entity, the upvote system rewards "good" comments getting them to the top while the rest get lost, every subreddit ends up being a hivemind, no wonder it's full of commies.

He's basically the Plinkett of Mass Effect, which means he's a pea brained moron who loves the sound of his own voice but hasn't even got a talent for criticism not to mention any creative efforts. If you want a good review of the series Shamus Young did a pretty good one.

Decent analysis of how the series went wrong, I don't agree with everything he said but he successfully predicted a few things about ME3, such as the Sucide Mission meaning ME2's squadmates couldn't be important to 3's main story (other reviewers did as well, though, such as Seamus Young). His alternate ME2 ideas weren't great, and he thinks every literary device is a theme.

Did he ever finish his critique of 3/alternate ideas? I seem to remember he suddenly stopped and did other things when he was almost finished, but I haven't watched his shit for a long time.

I just never liked her. She was just never really all that interesting to me. I liked that Tali first shows up actually fighting the "bad guys". I liked the idea that her people had to live in suits not because of things like atmospheric pressure or something like that but because their immune systems were so weakened from living in a sterile environment for so long.

But Liara is just such a clusterfuck of a character.

>First we get this scientist girl that knows a lot about protheans.
>Oh well not so scientistific now seems like she is trained in killing.
>Now she is some shady/political character(science?where?)
>Now she is the leader of some supersecret inteligence private agency(and she is quite cool with it, also what about your passion about protheans?)
>Now she is in ME3 and well... lets not talk about ME3 character writing(joker/EDI, all about that mexican/jock guy, the gay pilot for no reason...)

Also she has a huge monotonous voice and seems like so powerfull that the fact that she wants your D seems artificial for all that she cares she could go on his own without noticing.

But then Tali is stablished as a strong character throught pure social need, but yet she needs you in her own projects, his technicall talents are constant and well regarded by everyone in the ship, along the games she is a character that actually have desires likes and dislikes and states them in a non-monotonous voice.

Also, that thing about the enviromental suits and the inmunological system being deficient makes her like something that needs to be protected and taken care from you, is just much more compelling.

The character writer was changed from 1 to 2, thats why she changes so drasticly. But you are right. Liara doesnt really need you because she can look out for her own. That makes her alot more valueable than that little naive buckethead you have to hold the hand at every turn. Tali just is annoying and just another thing you have to look after. I barely take her on missions because she seems so fragile. Not military material.

Liara is still with you. You rescued her from Therum, killed her mother wizh her. She is the only reason you are alive in ME2, tali just doesnt care.
Liara is the only one who talks about defeating the reapers together. Literally the perfect waifu.
You just habe shit taste m8.

Esential to understand some of the plot, add a somewhat interesting character that constantly collides with Liara.
>the Omega DLC

Avoidable, its just a mission about retaking Omega with a half respectable villain and some moral choices that shine just because the rest of ME3 lacks these kind of choices.

>Citadel DLC

Avoidable,essential if you like romances though. Its the equivalent to commercial fanfiction and it gets this theme of "70s bond movie" but without any doubt will add some character development to your crew and accomplishes what is suposed to do; give some a place and activites for Shepard to relax(which in turns feels like another game inside ME3),

It's really worrying how accurate the leaks were. Those vaults in the tech demo is basically going to be the dungeons you grind for shitty MMO rewards.

If the leak about Cerberus was true then your dad is probably with them or even their leader. Then you will have a dramatic moment when you confront your dad with your big krogan bull and tell him how much you love xeno dick and that he should too because current year.

What is it with mac and his father issues. It already was annoying in ME2 how nearly every chracters had daddy issues. This guy shouldnt be the lead writer of anything if he just uses it to cope with his own petty psychological problems. He is a walking joke.

>>154279818

Well sir, I most certainly don't agree with your asertions.

Liara is like a rock, she will go down with or without you and she is so strong that she can't even tell you if she is suffering, happy or disgusted so might as well leave her to her own.

Tali is more like a pet, she can bite, she is loyal and she can be helpfull to the team in ways that others just can't, but without you she would die in the usual situations that Shepard gets into.

Just compare what happens when you kill Liara's mother with her help.

>Liara thats mother.
>Oh no.
>Mothers dead.
>Oh no.
>You cool with this?
>Sure.

Now Tali's father dies.

>Father! Nonono! You had always a backup plan, maybe you fake your life signs, maybe...
>Its ok, Tali c'mon now.
>But father!
>Chsst no tears, he needs you focused
>I'm going to destroy those fucking Geth in the next room.

See? So much better, there is a character in there that interacts with you in a much more emotional way instead of being an stereotype.

>Liara is the only one who talks about defeating the reapers together.

And don't talk like Tali wouldn't do that, she is loyal to the end, she will sacrifice her own pilgrimage and reputation(even let you have Veetor but then she clearly tells you she doesn't like it)

So, nice try m8, but seems like you just like to fuck rocks.

I don't think it's Mac 'The Hack' Walters, they probably looked at the original trilogy and asked themselves what the essentials were.

Goddamn I thought that the theme of "everything has to be grimdark" was contained to 40kfags in /tg/.

If anything the fact that she is able to feel something makes her the less psychopatic character and you need that kind of variety in your team.

>>154279909
Daddy/familial issues are video game writing's go-to to give a character comflict and 'depth'. ME1 and previous Bioware game squadmates all had daddy issues as well, it's just way more noticeable in ME2 because squadmates are the narrative focus.

>>154281135
Her father that never had real time for her?
The father that thought geth tech is more important than his daughter?
The father that only pushed her but didnt give her love?

Tali is a fucking hypocrite. First she constantly complains about her dad and then doesnt even have the balls to admit he did wrong and lies to the admiral board. Tali is the personification of a suitrat.

Liara loved her mother, but was well aware she had to die and did it without a second thought because she knew what the stakes were. She is a beaitiful amazone worth fighting for.

Liara is way more supporting and cares more about your well being than tali. Tali is just that squirky college girl that pisses everyone off with her childish behaviour. She doesnt fit on the normandy. Deal with it.

The ships hull dented a good three feet inwards, cracking computers and scaring the crew half to death.
The big bulge sizzled, paint blistered and began running down the surface in streams. Soon the metal was glowing a dull red, then yellow, and it began to give way. Heavy rivulets of melted metal dribbled down the floor, chunks of electronics fell out, trailing blue smoke that smelled like death.
They could see the warhead now, revealing itself behind layers of liquid metal.
The blunt white-hot piercing tip fell off and began melting through the floor.
Behind it was an intricate set of launchers, set in a circle like teeth in a lamprey.
A collective gasp went around the room as the launchers span up. But death didn't come. Hundreds of stripped down omnitools were expelled with little puffs of pressurized gas. Soon littering the floor, wedging behind consoles and under tables. Even falling through the hole in the floor created by the tip.
The crew was stunned. These were high end omnitools, stripped down but mostly intact, and with several weird additions.
The piles of omnitools began humming, vibrating as they took to the air on tiny rocket boosters, smacking into every available surface they clung to the ceiling, walls and floor. And began dissolving the ship's interior. Bulkheads, computer screens. All converted into a growing lump on the omni-tool's backs. Like giant shimmering pupae. The crew donned vacuum suits, but even the damage control teams were stunned. They did nothing as the cocoons grew ever larger.
Then some burst, and there was the Pilot's ideal partner. And half a torso of the captain's ex-wife. Again gasps were exchanged as more and more women, in varying states of completion (only so much you can do with a dissolved table)
The crew were so busy with their new companions that they didn't even notice a rogue frigate getting away with all the cargo.

Say what you will, but the last 20 seconds here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v99xh94Y2x0 is the best fucking cliffhanger ending of all time. Still gives me chills to this day.

Lovely. I imagine sometimes these waifus are intended to resemble Allie Sin VI.

how do you guys deal with having a waifu? it feels like a punch in the stomach every time i think about her

Yearly reminder that Drew Karpyshyn's idea for the ending was that the Reapers were harvesting civilizations for material to reproduce and harvesting stars in order to combat the growing threat of Dark Energy hastening the heat death of the universe (that Tali mission with the dying star).

The dilemma at the end would have been that by destroying the reapers, you would be destroying the only beings intelligent and capable enough to reverse or slow down entropy - so it was sort of a bittersweet victory.

Thanks Bioware you fucking cucks.

There is no way in hell the Reapers would have been able to spread to over 100 billion galaxies in such a short time frame.

Reapers were supposed to be MUCH more powerful than what we ended up. Lovecraftian, eternal, horrific machines of death and destruction that we cannot fathom.

Just listen top Sovereign and compare with the pathetic Harbigner and ME3 reapers. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JvrIFIjTGt0

Also, your argument about the galaxies and age of the universe is irrelevant if the Reapers have FTL tech (which they do).

"Dark Energy was something that only organics could access because of various techno-science magic reasons we hadn't decided on yet. Maybe using this Dark Energy was having a ripple effect on the space-time continuum.

"Maybe the Reapers kept wiping out organic life because organics keep evolving to the state where they would use biotics and dark energy and that caused an entropic effect that would hasten the end of the universe. Being immortal beings, that's something they wouldn't want to see.

"Let's take it to the next level. Maybe the Reapers are looking at a way to stop this. Maybe there's an inevitable descent into the opposite of the Big Bang (the Big Crunch) and the Reapers realise that the only way they can stop it is by using biotics, but since they can't use biotics they have to keep rebuilding society - as they try and find the perfect group to use biotics for this purpose. The asari were close but they weren't quite right, the Protheans were close as well.

"Again it's very vague and not fleshed out, it was something we considered but we ended up going in a different direction."

The plot thread has become popular among hardcore Mass Effect fans as an example of a better solution than the widely-derided original ending, championed by Walters, the series' new lead writer. But Karpyshyn was keen to point out that his idea would likely have displeased some fans too.

"At one point we thought that maybe Shepard could be an alien but didn't know it."

"I find it funny that fans end up hearing a couple things they like about it and in their minds they add in all the details they specifically want," he explained. "It's like vapourware - vapourware is always perfect, anytime someone talks about the new greatest game. It's perfect until it comes out. I'm a little weary about going into too much detail because, whatever we came up with, it probably wouldn't be what people want it to be."

Other ideas dropped earlier in the series included series hero Shepard turning out to be an alien, Karpyshyn continued.

"Some of the ideas were a little bit wacky and a little bit crazy. At one point we thought that maybe Shepard could be an alien but didn't know it. But we then thought that might be a little too close to [Knights of the Old Republic character] Revan."

Most intriguingly of all, Karpyshyn mentioned a discarded plot idea for the beginning of Mass Effect 2 that sounds similar to what Walters and the Mass Effect 3 team eventually chose for the trilogy's ending (er, spoilers):

"There was some ideas that maybe Shepard gets his essence transferred into some kind of machine, becoming a cyborg and becoming a bridge between synthetics and organics - which is a theme that does play up in the game," Karpyshyn concluded. "At one point we thought, maybe that's how he survives into Mass Effect 2."

That's weird. Must be a bug with with the party thing, I think I've seen a few other people report the same thing, but generally it doesn't happen.

So why didn't Ashley call out Liara for not telling her Shepard wasn't dead? And that she gave the body to Cerberus?

The fiasco on Horizon was pretty much entirely Liara's fault. Yet in ME3 she still shits on Ashely for it.

>>154302352

Bioware doesn't design guns with any form of logic, internal or just general.
Why do they always have two barrels, for example? Why do they look so overly designed? Why are they so large, and look so heavy?
They think it looks cool, and that's it.

>>154323816

Why do we hold SMG's like pistols?

>>154324073
best pistol

>>154323952
Them being large, at least, has a reason. They really are that heavy. According to the weight stats in 3, the basic Predator is half as heavy as an assault rifle like the Vindicator or Avenger, so like 2 kilos or so (which makes sense, the damn thing is bigger than a Desert Eagle). The Carnifex is even bigger. The heavy pistols have to be big and heavy, or else giving them as much punch as they do (damage per shot comparable to assault rifles, or beyond that in the case of the Carnifex, Paladin, etc.) would make the recoil energy completely unmanageable.

>>154323952

The damage a weapon does is all gameplay mechanics, though, and has no impact on the design.

>The damage a weapon does is all gameplay mechanics, though, and has no impact on the design.

Visual design is one part of what gives a gun it's impact

>>154326328
The heavy pistols being that powerful isn't just gameplay mechanics. The codex says that the Paladin provides similar punch to the assault rifles for example. The books and Paragon Lost feature several scenes of heavy pistols taking down shields faster than assault rifles and penetrating heavy body armor. Pistols in general are considered viable primary weapons and are noted in the codex to be effective against armor. Etc.

You need to make those guns stupidly large if you want them to be at all effective and not fly out of your hands whenever you try to shoot them. There's a reason the whole weapon class is "heavy pistols".

Same thing for all the stupidly large assault rifles, and all other guns for that matter. If they're not heavy, the recoil will be unmanageable unless you make them a lot weaker than they are.

So the sizes, at least, are justified.

if you only carry an assault rifle and nothing else you're fine. usually there is no reason for more than 1 weapon. most power classes can run through insanity missions without firing a single shot and even a weapon dependant class like soldier can usually use a single heavy weapon and doesn't need a backup one.

Mattock V + extended barrel + piercing mod on my Vanguard gives me 200% cooldown. I can even carry a Predator V with ultralight materials + power enhancer or extended barrel, and it's still 200%.

Eviscerator V + high-velocity barrel + choke gives me 190% cooldown. Throwing in a Predator sidearm just takes it to 169%.

There's barely a difference. You don't need to carry shit guns to have good cooldowns.

>>154330497
No. You can give them the heaviest weapons with the heaviest mods (i.e. high-velocity barrel) and their recharge times stay the same.

>>154330636
I just take a wraith with chocker and high velocity barrel, it's the only weapon you need as a vanguard

Yeah, no.

>>154330928
In my experience that Mattock is pretty much the objectively best weapon in the game (except the mega-broken Harrier). Even if you're a Vanguard, it's slightly slighter and just kills shit faster than the Wraith because it doesn't have to be pumped every two shots, and reloads so quickly it may as well as not have a reload animationn. It's only better than the Mattock for killing minibosses quickly (and there aren't that many in SP), or one-shotting shielded enemies.

I use the Wraith + high-velocity barrel + choke + inferno rounds on my Vanguard playthrough more for aesthetics than anything else (and because my two squaddies are usually using the same weapon), since after MP the game is so very easy even on Insanity, so I can get away with a suboptimal load.

You called? I could ran with it, but i don't see much point in carrying 2 weapons just to use one to fire 2-3 shoots and finish what my biotics couldn't

>>154331703
you can't play black widow in mass effect, autist. you can carry and use her though

Did they hire some new animators for Citadel? All of the facial animations look much better

Is there any way to get the Valiant, Hurricane, and Crusader in SP without buying the Collector's Edition? The Valiant seems like a fun-sized quick reloading Black Widow from my experience in MP, the Hurricane is just objectively the best SMG (especially since squaddies don't suffer from recoil, it would probably be awesome in EDI or Liara's hands), and I want to give Tali what is basically an anti-materiel rifle and make it even heavier and more powerful by slapping a high-velocity barrel on it.

All the animations were better. Bioware didn't half ass Citadel like they did the base game.

>>154332981
Wasn't this Kelly romance animation from ME2?

>>154333136
No, I'm pretty sure Kelly's animation was just a copy of the ones used by the dancers in Afterlife. Tali's animation was different.

I figured they could just work their way around that with mass effect fields or some shit.

Saw two anons discussing razor's edge and decided to check it out. It's alright.

They kept that at reasonable levels seeing as Cruisers and pretty much anything bigger then frigate can't land on planets with 1g or higher gravity

Why do they always have two barrels, for example?

They flat-out say in one of the art books it was purely for appearance. Same for that metal bar around Mordin's head.

>>154337823
codex says it's an exhaust pipe

>>154337823
I assumed it was like >>154329074 said, that there was going to be some sort of alt fire mechanic that never got used.

I think I'm going to start writing a ME1 novelization, as if there aren't a million of those around already.

Might post my progress here if it goes anywhere

Should I write it in first or third person? Only from Shepard's perspective, or multiple perspectives?

>>154337823
I thought those were for firing special alternate ammo. Like Concussive Shot and Carnage.

>>154341049
can't you put your creative talent into a more productive enterprise?

>>154341437
I don't know if I have any creative talent. I need to practice writing, and I don't have any papers to write

Besides, I don't have any mentally stimulating hobbies, so at least I'm doing /something/ other than vidya, films, reading, and music
