Mass Effect General - /meg/

well, I guess at least I tried.

RIP /meg/, was fun while it lasted.

>>156277135
n-no, stay please...

Does anybody else think Andromeda would be better off if Bioware just picked a canon ending for 3 and set the game after the Reaper War ended? I can't see them setting it before 3 without pulling some serious bullshit with the Krogan and the galaxy's views on the Reapers before they invaded.

>>156278721
it'll be bad in any case. they should have just done a completely different game set earlier and on a much lesser scale but it doesn't seem like bioware is able to do anything apart of the ancient-evil-menaces-all-of-creation trope. a hard boiled detective story on the citadel set 10 years before the reaper war would have been nice, but no...

Western, come pick up your unruly child. It's wandered off again.

>>156279396
Yea, ME's setting had a ton of potential for side stories that could have avoided the ancient evil bullshit and fleshed out the universe but instead we get a Borderlands knockoff. Its really a shame.

Reminds me of the Ark from Halo a bit...

>>156278721
Nah I'm done with our galaxy, a new one has so much potential. For example I would love if ME wasn't littered with humans for just once.
Knowing BW though they are only pulling this to distance themselves from the shitfest of the last title. Fully expecting not!geth, not!reapers and not!protheans to make an appearance.

>>156279396
I think DA2 was BW's shot at smaller scale and since it flopped they just went back to the good old formula, even though DA2 failed for other reasons like reusing every asset a million times, shitty combat and teleporting enemies.
A lot of people enjoyed the smaller scale and your companions were basically your family. A family full of mentally unstable people, but still comfy.

>>156281710
At least you didn't forget to write /meg/ like the last OP, a lot more important tbqfh.

so what do you think mass effect andromedas big enemy will be since there are no reapers?

>>156281710
>maybe later
I want to be angry at you, but your homeland has been turned into a diseased waste receptacle.. so I can't.

>>156292094
I loved the original team but there isn't much to do there. The Milky Way is either irreversibly fucked or in some golden age of unending peace. Not much can be done with either of those.

>>156292094
Any of the Normandy team appearing would canonise or "de-canonise" at least one of the endings. As much as I want to see them you'll probably just get a mention of their past deeds or something. Though looking at the new asari I don't really want to see how they'd "upgrade" the old crews personalities.

>>156293564
the worst thing about this is that if this actually happens to be in the game you can most likely just access a tiny bit of this and all the rest is just background/skybox, both due to console limitations and EA/Bioware lazyness and corner cutting. bet the jetpack won't let you fly around freely, but there'll be invisible walls or "no-fly-zones".

>>156292094

The one reason that made ME so appealing was the established, fleshed-out galactic society in which rape could take place. There is much less scope for rape in Andromeda given that it is moved to a completely unsettled frontier. For example, there will be no more rape of human colonists by BTs, quarian pilgrims being raped on Omega, slavery and rape, etc.

it will happen, trust me.

>>156293464
I don't mind canonization of certain endings. Lots of other games do it. Just make the pseudo golden endings for the side arcs canon (e.g. Rannoch peace), plus Destroy for the main ending decision, and only leave minor stuff like Shepard's class/gender, the Council's survival, and who you fucked up for variation.

Sometimes I wonder what could have been if instead of the Reapers being inevitable, the end of ME1 was actually preventing them from showing up for thousands of years and the rest of the series became about preventing groups like the Collectors from restarting the process or doing stuff completely unrelated to Reapers.

We could have literally had a Star Trek vidya franchise where we'd get a game every few years showing an update to the timeline, how decisions by one generation impacted the next, and so much other good shit.

Instead we got waifu wars and EA bullshots.

hm then I did something to block them but I can't remember what I did.

>>156300549
none of that will be in the actual game. it's just literal trailer trash to make you hot for the game.
is it working?

>>156304217
I know, but its not like Bioware has given me much else to look at
Is what working? The hats?

>>156278721
it would be better off if they had never done the reaper war in the first place. stopping sovereign should have prevented the reapers from waking up, though they'd still be out there as a vague and mysterious menace. this would leave much more room for the setting to breathe and grow, with smaller and more personal stories for the various sequels.

but no, they irrevocably wrecked the entire setting because they wrote themselves into a corner, and now the sequel has to be set in a completely different galaxy in what amounts to a stealth-reboot of the whole setting

>>156304585
the trailer. is it making you look forward to the game?

>>156306580
Not really. I'm all for a new game but until I see something real, which we probably wont get till N7 day, I'm not going to get my hopes up.

Hello.

Why can't the scars never be on the body? How often does your face get mangled like that?
Add some damn scars to the body like, I don't know, Geralt has.

>>156324802
Because BW games rarely show the PC's uncovered body. Soon it will be haram to show any skin.

I agree with you though.

My theory is that Cerberus built in underwear into Shepard's body to stop the commander from ever being naked again after ME1. The evil of TIM knows no bounds.

Welp, just beat the game for the first time with the modded ending. Added the "citadel after credits" add on and thats been pretty great so far as well (first time playing through it)

Only rough spot I noticed in the modded ending that I think could be changed was the crucible should have fired right after Anderson dies. Instead it goes through the whole "its not firing" thing until shepard crawls to the panel and then collapses, then it suddenly fires.

But otherwise, it was definitely better.

Oversaturation of characters =/= good characters. It had the most of the three games but the majority were shit.

The quests were basically "Go to planet. Shoot yellow/blue/red mercenaries. Recruit/Help squadmate learn something. Repeat" There weren't nearly enough missions dealing with the collectors.
>best mission (Suicide mission)
>best DLC
Both of these are true. Shame they don't make up for everything else.
>best writing
The entire plot was pulled out of Bioware's ass to give you something to do before the big finale in 3. It literally didn't matter. Seriously, you could have just cut out the entire second game and said Cerberus found a cache of Reaper tech to justify them being so powerful in 3 and nothing would have changed in the long run. Also, the characters themselves were by far the best written in 3.

>>156397117

>Oversaturation of characters =/= good characters. It had the most of the three games but the majority were shit.
Majority were better than any of the characters in ME1 or ME3
>The quests were basically "Go to planet.
Still better than ME2 and ME3s quests
>The entire plot was pulled out of Bioware's ass to give you something to do before the big finale in 3

Witcher 3s writing is top notch whereas its main story is dogshit.

>>156397547
>Majority were better than any of the characters in ME1 or ME3
For a series with a tradition of shitty filler characters that isn't much of an accomplishment
>Still better than ME2 and ME3s quests
Bullshit. Its rehashed trash every mission. Same enemies in the same settings. The collector ship and derelict reaper were the only standout main missions excluding the suicide mission. They focused far too much of filler to make up for the paper thin plotline.
>Writing =/= story
Again, writing was still the best in 3.

>>156398072

>For a series with a tradition of shitty filler characters that isn't much of an accomplishment
So you agree, good to know
>ullshit. Its rehashed trash every mission.
Literally no different than ME1 or ME3. Only difference is that it doesn't have the piss poor dialogue/writing of ME3 (Only a Paragon/Renegade option, top kek) or the shit tier empty """""""""""""""planets""""""""""""" of ME1 that you had to slog through

Patrician rankings here desu, ME2fags stay assblasted.

3 was the best in basically every area (especially gameplay and characters) except the last couple shitty hours, it just suddenly got people to notice what was already shitty in the other two games. Still a good series on the whole.

>>156395843

>best characters

kek, all but four or five of them were meaningless filler that were rightfully reduced to cameos in ME3. They also never interacted with each other and never left their one spot on the ship outside of missions, making them look like autists who stared at walls all day.

>best writing

really now? This is seriously the hill you want to die on for this game? The game where Shepard's first reaction to "I need to fight the Reapers" is "I need a really good team"? The writing is fucked beyond repair.

>best DLC

The DLC was a shit. 7-10 bucks each for two-hour map packs with paper thin side stories that don't amount to anything and the same enemies and environments cut and pasted. Also no new character content, just to do the bare minimum. At least ME3's DLC had relevance to what was going on and included some new content in the form of new enemies and weapons. Not to mention actual dialogue for squaddies.

Out of curiosity, how did /v/ flip so much on Mass Effect 2?

It used to be fucking loved on here to the point that it essentially had a huge hand in creation /vg/ due to the constant Tali and Mass Effect 2 threads that were spamming the catalogue.

What changed? I'm replaying the series now and Mass Effect 2 just has something about it, the feeling of developing a true rag tag team of Mercs and going through Omega. It's just a blast

>>156487094
the whole 'team' element gets detracted from a lot by the fact that, unlike ME3, none of the teammates so much as acknowledge each others' existence outside of Tali/Legion and Miranda/Jack. Nor do they move from their one spot on the ship unless Shepard tells them to grab a gun and come shoot some mercs.

>>156487094

Mass Effect 2 is pointless in every aspect, nothing you do feel significant to stop the reapers. you kill the collectors and 6 month later the reapers arrive. you basically waste alot of time solving random peoples daddy issues. also it was the first step away from the Mass Effect feeling and to the GoW shooter feeling.

But it will not be mass effect or feel like mass effect, thats what people want. is there even 1 single person developing MEA who was around at the time ME1 was developed?
considering that mac walters, the guy who ruined the mass effect series, is now the director of the project it will be an utter dissappointment for everyone who longs for the true Mass Effect expierience.

So i'm playing through the Mass Effect trilogy right now for the first time.

At ME2 right now, why is this series hated again? It's a competently written Sci Fi RPG in a genre dominated by nothing but High Fantasy shit?

I'm at the bit where you explore the Collector ship. The writing is solid, setting/art style is fantastic (Omega really made me wish for a Cyberpunk RPG) and overall, i'm loving every moment of it. The planet exploration is gone (which fucking sucks) but apart from that, it's a solid experience overall.

>>156525542

The series isn't hated. If it was, we wouldn't be here.
