>>167672035
I agree. PeeBee is already looking totally irredeemable. Shitty character design, obnoxious and incessant 'jokes', worst species in the ME universe.

Aside from that Mirror shit, and the unapologetic blood magic, Merrill was best girl.
Bioware once again btfo's silly consumer
I wish what u goys were talking abotu regarding andromeda, I'm trying to read as little about it for maximum surprise when itorrentit
>>167672192
Already got my swiss exit appt lined up. Want to come along?
>>167672501yes pls
>>167672404
don't get me wrong, I liked her. but it's also very obvious why people don't, and the way Bioware writers talk about her make me pretty annoyed
Save Kaidan or Ashley
>>167672451
>he wants to get thrown shit into his face without prior knowing at what speed and which kind of shit and what consistency its gonna be
>>167672804
Kaidan is another officer while Ashley is a shitty enlisted. The choice is easy.
>>167672804
kaidan, ashley gets ugly and annoying
>>167672404
>>167672662
I liked Merrill too besides the dumb blood magic/mirror shit. All the women aside from Aveline are top tier retards in DA2 though. Isabella is way worse than any woman ever in a bioware game.
>>167672404
I actually really appreciate how Merrill treats blood magic and dealing with demons/spirits. it's really refreshing that she actually pays attention to the personal costs, unlike literally every other blood mage in the series, but still has it serve as a personal flaw because she can't recognize that people around her might also get caught up or try to take the toll for her.
it's too bad she wasn't in a better game
>>167672832
why do you think i'm not paying.
The little I do know doesnt bolster high opinions(arks, the species in the game from Milky Way etc nice and my NINE key is broken
>>167672804
kaidan. He gets a shitload of character development in 3 and winds up being a solid bro and good squadmate pick, while Ashley's character gets simplified and her abilities are just "Vega, but not as good"
>>167672451
>when itorrentit
Good,don'tgive money to Curry Thunder.
>>167672662
>>167672983
>>167672991
As a whole, the non-humans are a step-down from the human ones, most of the time when it comes to writing. But every other female in DA2 (except Avelline, ofc) is shit. So yeah, best girl.
>>167672804
Depends.
>Kaidan
>Sentinel, versatile, can max Electronics (lockpicking) skill, squishy.
>Female romance option, both in ME3.
>Boring, chill.
>Ashley
>Soldier, DPS, can tank effectively, rather basic skillset.
>Male romance option.
>Racist, gung-ho.
I personally recommend saving Kaidan, as he becomes a biotic god in ME3.

Since Xbox One has backwards compatibility now, I can finally take some good screenshots of my bad playthrough Shepard.
>>167676323
She's beautiful
>>167676323

Calm your bitchtits, Marko. It's general related content.
>>167677234
What the fuck else are we supposed to do? BioWare doesn't even want to promote this piece of shit game and give us anything to talk about.
>>167677505
go for a walk, play a game, jerk one off idk how you like to spent your time.
>>167677579
I've already done all that today (except for the game part). I guess I can go play some Hitman later. For right now I'm just going to keep on shitposting.

So, how bad do you think ME:A is going to tank? Because I don't think it's on anyone's radar and it's not looking like it'll get there any time soon, to me.
>>167679601
EA has very low sales expectations for it. Only 3 million shipped in the first two weeks or something like that. Not even sold through.
>>167679401
>tfw you'll never cuddle with Miranda in her black outfit
>ywn feel the smooth texture and hear the creaking of the latex
>>167679660
>Only 3 million shipped in the first two weeks
Isn't their main selling outlet Origin, at this point? What about pre-orders? And where did you get your numbers?
>>167680171
Those are pretty high expectations, for first week. DA:I is estimated to have sold 1.5 mil first week, ~500k of those being pre-orders and most of those digital. At least, that's what the PR led me to believe at the time, what with "most successful Bioware launch" and all. And
>it's what EA said
Where? Who? How? Who is this guy that's saying that??
>>167672804I always save Ashley
On a scale from 1 to 10, how thrilled you are?
How hard would it have been to fucking put the trilogy on PS4/XB1?
Now I have to subscribe to EA access for the best way to play on consoles.
>muh pc
i'm in between computers right now because FUCKING HOUSE FIRES.
>>167681062
For Andromeda? 1 being completely apathetic to the game and 10 being the single most hyped game of the year, I would say around a five. Very cautiously optimistic.
I'm seeing more and more things I like. When it comes to the gameplay, I treat it like Halo 5. While I know that it's deviated from what I considered Halo or Mass Effect (1), I still think it looks fun. Especially when it looks like they've put more emphasis on things like exploration, brought back loot, the hardsuits look really awesome, etc.
BUT, like I've said before, I still want to see more of the game. Like another anon said, they should make a gameplay video where they give you a slice of the game itself.
Start on an uncharted world for a side mission that includes driving the Nomad, take a quick walk around the Tempest when complete, then do a main mission. Pick up some loot, craft a little something, show off some skills and skillmenu.
Have some hi-res character renders

>I gave you the link to the tweet and included his bio in the screenshot
>bio
>I tweet about the Video Games industry. Analyst at Niko Partners. Covering the digital games market in China & Southeast Asia.
Wouldn't know he has any inside info on EA from THAT bio. And where does one acquire that shareholder transcript? Are these made public in EA's site? And a quick google search shows that it is so. Did not know that. Actually, no, did not care enough to know that.
Also, this screenshot is much more helpful than the last one.
>something around 3 million in the quarter
3 mil in the entire span of three months? Or just the last week of Q1? Are they counting pre-orders as well?
>>167681997
Not remotely interested in Peebee.
>>167682009
Did they fix her nose? I think it looks a little better?
>>167682195
I tend to agree. Also, squad roster is just too damn small.
>>167682009
Why do all of these have horrible lighting and facial expressions? To show off the armour better?
Also Sara looks better and even dare I say it, cute.
>>167681864
>>167682073

So do we know how many squad members there are all together? all the ones we've seen so far none of them really interest me.
>>167682195
I think they all look pretty good.
>>167682195
then go back, no one's stopping you
>>167682667
The survey leak said 7. We know of 6. Speculation is that the 7th is a Kett we can win to our case so it'll be a late game thing.
1. Liam
2. Cora
3. PeeBee
4. Vetra
5. Drack
6. Jaal
>>167682479
he looks like a cuck hipster who spends all day styling his hair.
>>167682009
Sara looks really cute now, actually. Aside from the fact that all of them look worse in the render program than in the game engine, they really fixed the strange parts of Sara. Particularly her nose.
>>167682791
I've already played those games though.
>>167682936
something still looks weird about her.
>>167682936
She's improved. The eyes on all the characters look really weird. Like the scleras all look diseased.
So who else here is gonna be runnin' the Turian/Krogan squad for the 4th game in a row?
>>167683225
Vetra/Cora will probably be my main team.
>>167683225
I'll probably go Jaal / Turian.
I really, really like the armour design. The shiny, polymer look of the soft armour, the texture of the undersuit, the textures of the hard panels.
>>167683210
>The eyes on all the characters look really weird. Like the scleras all look diseased.
Yeah, I don't know what that is. Because it doesn't look like that in the in-game trailers, but that might just be because we didn't get a clear view of their eyes up-close.
>>167682734
They look OK, but nothing great. I was at least curious to see Wrex and Garrus in ME1, Mordin, Legion, Grunt, Thane and Samara in ME2. Jack seemed extremely off putting and I was planning on sticking with Liara, but ... she turned me around.ME:A roster is just blue Sera, mrs. "I need to see the manager", token black guy, token Krogan, Tali substitute, Quarian fuckboy wannabe and tba Kett probably. None of them strike any particular note with me, they don't instill any strong emotion in me, like the DA:I cast. And while I gave the DA:I cast a chance, a good, solid 30+ hour chance, they all let me down and I just ... lost interest. So that's my expectation for ME:A
>>167682791
That's a really negative disposition. And yes, I will go back. Several times probably. But I'd also like to look forward to something new, as well. You know, better graphics, first time experiences etc. It's just not what some people, myself included, were looking/hoping for.
>>167683487
I would like it if not for the color scheme. The blue / white thing makes it look like they're all wearing pool equipment.
>>167682818
They said a squad mate was cut for some reason so we may be down to six.
>>167683791
Ah, well there you go. Then we've probably seen them all.
>>167683791
Oh ...
>>167683625
>Tali substitute, Quarian fuckboy wannabe
Who are those?
>>167683635
For me, it's more that there's too much blue. I would prefer red, but I think the coloured parts are too large.
I like colours as accents, either beneath the main armoured parts like the recolouring I did with Cora's armour, or stripes on the actual armour.
I do love the higher-resolution textures. The really flat textures you ran into in ME1-3 bothered me.
>>167683894
So this gonna be the DA2 of mass effect
>>167684132
>Who are those?
I'm expecting Vetra and Jaal to fill those spots, honestly.
>tfw eddrf's Quari the Quarian seems to you like a better character idea than most ME:A characters.
>>167684195
>yfw the best girl is unromanceable again.
>>167683894
>>167684010
Like I said, it's all maybe. We know a squad mate was cut, and we know the leak said seven, but we don't know when the cut happened. We could have had eight and then made the cut.
I remember who PeeBee reminds me of
>>167684554
Salarian was cut
>>167684554
Even if the 7th is still in, I expect if it's the Kett dude it will be so late in the game as to be totally meaningless (like Legion).
>>167684609
Take it back. She's actually CUTE.
>>167684654
I thought Kallo Jath was our pilot. Salty AF if we missed out on an STG squaddie for another god damned Asari.
>>167684654
And made into Kallo right? Or were they cut because they were too similar to him?
>>167684661
PB or the actress?
>>167684765
The companion got cut for being too similar to another character already in the game iirc, probably the pilot.
Has there been any proper gameplay footage yet or are they having a review embargo until all the retards preordering games had their money stolen?
>>167684609
While I do like Jenifer Morison, she's a terrible choice for a hairless alien. She would simply not look as hot, if she were bald.
>>167685113
According to Shinobi or w/e his name is there's supposed to be gameplay footage released within the next two/three weeks.
>>167682180
because fuck logic and the original triology.
I even saw the Quarian shotgun in a trailer which was a ME3 weapon.
>>167685231
Shinobi also said that the IGN deep dive would start at the end of January with new information daily. He's full of shit.
He reminds me ever so slightly of Barry Pepper from the front. He looks a lot better in profile, so it might just be the eyes that look weird. And dead.
>>167685113
What does 'proper' mean? There's five-minute gameplay video released a while back:
>https://youtu.be/NOIzH6UcoW4
And the CES 2017 linked in the OP (even though the OP says 2016).
>>167685482
>In Andromeda, resources are scarce
Then why the fuck did we go there in the first place? The codec says we've hardly explored half of the Milky Way galaxy, anyway. Why waste all these resources to get somewhere that doesn't pay off? It's like a metaphor for the game's development; invest too much money on a game that isn't really going to pay off.
>>167685960
>>167685960
It's an AAA "exploration" game where you run around stupid empty open worlds to find collectibles and crafting materials that also has Bioware's name attached for people who still think that means anything, it's gonna sell 20 million copies
>>167686067
I have no idea what that image is trying to convey, but I chuckled.
I like the helmets, too. The larger visor looks way better.
>>167686328
>It's like a metaphor for the game's development; invest too much money on a game that isn't really going to pay off.
I thought it was funny
>>167685960
>Then why the fuck did we go there in the first place?
Because they fucked over the setting with ME3's ending and they want to keep milking that cash cow?
>>167686328
Laughter, I think? I don't know.
>>167686412
no it looks like a structural weakness. imagine a rock falls on your head, breaks it and you are left to suffer a slow awful death in toxic atmosphere.
whoever came up with the design had no idea what he/she actually was designing.
>>167686579
Althought it's strange that the glass also covers the top of the head instead of just the face, the large visor is better than the extremely small 2cm thin glass in the trilogy. You wouldn't see shit.
With this visor you can actually see stuff above and below you.
>>167686087
But can I fug sum aliens?
>>167686465
I was aiming for that. Glad it worked.
>>167686468
They could have moved on with the "Shepard Lives" ending. I mean, it forces a canon ending, I get that, but like in ME2, if Shepard dies in the finale, it's game over, so you need a living Shepard to move on to ME4. Then we'd be able to see if and how much the Milky Way is fucked, instead of some abstract "speculation".
>>167686579
Didn't Soviet era space helmets look like that? Or do I remember incorrectly? I think it's a sendoff to that.
>>167687016
>the large visor is better than the extremely small 2cm thin glass in the trilogy
gj destroying every credibility of your post. fuck off biodrone, the helmet looks shit.
>>167687078
>Didn't Soviet era space helmets look like that?
could be, but they didnt walk around planets in Andromeda explroing them.
>>167687078
Honestly I think it's not so much about picking a canon ending as it is them pretending ME3 didn't happen in the only way that allows them to.
>>167671781
White Russian Nobility/Royalty. Quarians are White Russians, not gypsies. Even the Migrant Fleet is just Wrangel's Fleet IN SPACE!!!!!
>>167687282
Can you shut the fuck up with this stupid shit already
>>167687261
I still believe that 600 years + 1 game is going to be enough cover for them to send us back to the Milky Way. They'll introduce some new threat that has overridden all three possible endings and do some minor handwaving / change a couple of lines of dialog to make everything fit.
>>167687078
>Didn't Soviet era space helmets look like that? Or do I remember incorrectly? I think it's a sendoff to that.
All real world spacesuits have had large visors, but not quite covering the scalp of the new helmets in Andromeda.
This is the old Soviet one.
>>167687078
>>167687474
>>167686412
Naw, a helmet with a peak like a cap, something in the vein of a space age burgonet would be best and most aesthetic design
>>167687421
It's still fucking true.
>>167687257
This visor is tiny. Starting right above the eye, it's only a few centimeters thick at its largest part. Situational awareness would be complete ass.
>>167687830
I'm gona say something that sounds silly but it's worth saying: Have you ever played airsoft? Cause the visors we wear in that are about that thin and situational awareness is fine. You just turn your head and use teamwork.
>>167687976
Is it like those masks you see in paintball?
>>167687976
Not him but
>AIRSOFT
Lmao
>>167688043
Depends on the individual player but like where I play most of the time recently is an indoor field, so we have a 'higher' standard for eye protection and our masks have to be one of a certain brands (which yeah is really just a marketing ploy but what can you do) so our eye slit is only a little larger than the N7's.
>>167687830
you can turn your head you know?
this man is secure if a rock falls on his head.
MEA cahracters would die in the same situation.
>>167687016
But what if we replaced the glass withMass Effect Fields?
>>167687257
>but they didnt walk around planets
True. I think it's more of an aesthetic choice than a practical one.
>>167687261
Well, if BW could be like "5 years after the events of ME3" and the galaxy mostly rebuilt, a much more isolated story, involving perhaps the local cluster alone, where the Citadel also happens to be? And repaired as well? Wouldn't be that bad. Old crew back, too. It would sell.
>>167687474

Don't really believe it, but I'd expect EA to shut Bioware down sooner or later. Shame really, but maybe a different studio would give ME a better treatment. Hopefully not DICE. I'd hate for another straight up shooter.

Hasn't it already been like that in ME2 and 3? I know for a fact Liara only ever wears a breathing mask in ME3 and I think Samara and Jack were the same in 2
I bet the answer is biotics
>>167688313
that /v/ post sounds like /pol/ fanfiction. New IP will be a destiny clone and is not in any danger. SWTOR is still making money for them. DA:I did fine. BioWare imprint is still worth something to EA. They're more apt to close a few of BioWare's studios down than just shut the whole name down.
>>167688598
Well I was actually in the Army so yes, sometimes but by and large, no. If it's like a 'realism' match (with realcaps (mags with same capacity as real ones) and other stuff) they yeah, part of the fun is getting into the chacater, but for normal games na it's basically halo MP IRL. Again, for the last year or two, I mostly play in an indoor arena field so it really just plays like a protracted Halo match. But people getting passionate about something or god forbid, role playing, is not a bad thing. Especially considering what general we're in.

Like I said, don't really believe it, but some of it rings true. I don't think they're going to shut down Bioware Austin for example, but it might drop the Bioware name and be rebranded into something else. The Montreal studio might shut down, if MEA flops, with people shifting to Edmonton, stuff like that. I expect a lot of restructuring to happen, either way.

Na it's just annoying that the hate towards airsoft is based solely on people not liking that some players where real equipment god forbid. I equate that attitude towards fudds at my local range that disapprove of anyone with a rifle that has no wood on it. That if an interest doesn't conform to *their* standard it's somehow bad.
>>167689698
>I thought Nyreen copped to that one in Omega or was that just tumblr hed canon shit going around?
I never saw/heard that. She fucked Aria, goes without saying, but I never noticed it being implied she was also Garrus's fuck-buddy. I did like they implied that Aria was Wrex's old flame though.
>>167689757
I'm neither of the guys making fun of you, but why are American soldiers so insanely proud and easily triggered about anything even slightly related to the army?
>>167689698
>Why would they leave that one open and shut down all the others?
Well, maybe if they moved ToR support to another studio, they would close it down. I still can't understand how ToR is still afloat, desu. It's a terrible game.
>>167689869
>Aria was Wrex's old flame though.
This was debunked by one of the writers. The only other Aria pairing I know that's certified is Mordin.

>>167689929
They aren't. Speaking as an old 11B I can say at least me and my ilk don't give a SHIT about stuff related to the Army. That is to say, I've spent enough time in that fucked up entity (retired, medically, as an E6) to know better than to defend it. To any outsider; all the shit you've heard about the U.S. Army being fucked up, I promise you, has been greatly UNexaggerate.
Linking to airsoft, I graduate Ranger school and I use my old ACU's in matches which includes my old patches. I never have other vets call it in question, but if I had a nickle for every 20 something college student accusing me of stolen valor I wouldn't need my pension. I find, more often than not, the people triggered by things about the army are those that were never in it.
What annoys me in this situation is I played airsoft LONG before I joined the military, and played it while I was in, and played it and continue to play it now. It's my past time. Its my social circle (all my friends play it), and its my primary hobby outside of work. I don't like when it gets maligned, the same way that the moment jack thompson opens his mouth, I wager everyone here loses their shit. And more often than not, the things raised against airsoft have more to do with people objecting to wearing equipment used by the military, or getting into character, than anything about actually playing the game. It would be as if someone got pissed at you not giving Shepard your actual first name or playing as a gender opposite yours.

>This was debunked by one of the writers.
Really? That's too bad. I liked that little "Better luck next time" sequitor at the end of her extended conversation on omega. It was a nice nod to anyone who took the time to have all the conversations with Wrex and was a cool way to give a clue about Aria's history.

I don't think you get what 'triggered' means. Or you're mixing up jargon and tiggered. At any rate, I don't get made about the Army, or people pretending to be in it, or wearing our stuff or using our stuff. I shoot bench a lot at my local gun club, should I get upset when somebody who was never in the Army uses an AR15? Or M1A? No. So why should I care if a kid pretends to be a SEAL or a Ranger playing airsoft?

>Speaking as an old 11B I can say at least me and my ilk don't give a SHIT about stuff related to the Army. That is to say, I've spent enough time in that fucked up entity
I'm not proud of the Army at all. I have 0 pride in the Army. If using the correct terminology when describing my time IN that fucked up entity is making you mistake that with pride, don't. You can speak with knowledge and disapprove of something. Most soldiers aren't PROUD of the Army. I mean, Officers maybe, MAYBE, will feel that way, but by and large, enlisted men, the more senior the more likely, will be KEENLY ware of how fucked up the military is and how there is little pride to be gleaned from it. Doesn't mean we don't use the correct words to describe it.

A month from release? It should be LONG done by now. Like it should be more or less releasable by now if normal game development cycles applied. I mean they still print physical discs which for sake of manufacturing and shipping, they need to start printing VERY soon, as in like a week or two or they won't be in stores on time.
Sadly, this is an EA game, which means they probably didn't start working on it till about 3 months ago and right now they are decided on what parts to cut that are in such a bad state that they cant be released.
>>167694512
>and right now they are decided on what parts to cut that are in such a bad state that they cant be released.
this, most likely.
>>167694512
They claim this game has had 5 YEARS of development. I wonder how much of that has been actual game dev on this version and how much of that was false starts/prototypes that got trashed.
>>167694803
>They claim this game has had 5 YEARS of development.
Bull. Fucking. Shit. There is no way they started working on this right after ME3 was released. Maybe they said, "Let's make another ME game" and that counts, but no way anything beyond concept art was done more than 3 years ago. I'd wager all the coding, mapping, and engine modifications didn't start till about a year ago. Especially given the issues with ME3, anything they had at on the table early on probably had to be thrown out. Plus, with SJW's being in their fetal stages 5 years ago, they are now a force to be rekoned with (at least the Devs think so) and thus probably had to alter the story HEAVILY to cater to them.

That's the optimistic case, but even they themselves don't know what they will want to do after they've made first step of their journey to enlightenment.
>>167709512
The Geth were not occupying Rannoch. They were not even building on it. They actually cleaned up all the mess after the war and left it for when the Creators will return in peace. In fact they let the Quarians leave. They could've pursued them and wiped them out.

>>167709757
>The Geth were not occupying Rannoch. They were not even building on it. They actually cleaned up all the mess after the war and left it for when the Creators will return in peace
Wrong. They killed anyone who ventured near Rannoch and any part of their territory in general for the next 300 years. The Council after the Morning War even tried to be a neutral third party negotiator and sent diplomats for that purpose. The geth killed them all too. Then an armada left the Veil 300 years later alongside Sovereign to genocide all organics.
> In fact they let the Quarians leave. They could've pursued them and wiped them out.

The first time someone approached them with weapons down (after they just finished their genocide, so already a huge leap of faith) and the intent to talk, the geth murdered them like the Muslims they are and proceeded to do the same to everyone else who tried for the next 300 years, before sending out an armada to genocide everyone else.
Why the fuck would anyone put their weapons down in the geth's presence after that? You'd have to be crazy.
>>167710993
>make Tibet great again

They judged interaction with organics to be counter-productive, but they did not go out genocide them. The Heretics did after Nazara indoctrinated them.

exact citation please because I'm pretty sure no one ever said the people "approaching" the geth afterwards were unarmed or came in peace, just that they were all killed.
>>167711339
>They judged interaction with organics to be counter-productive, but they did not go out genocide them. The Heretics did after Nazara indoctrinated them.
Ah yes, the """Heretics""" that the totally peaceful main geth weren't a part of and didn't condone, even though they directly participated in the genocide of the quarians prior and passively accepted the heretics going out to genocide everyone else on top of that without making any attempt to stop them or even just warn organics. Or even any attempt to differentiate themselves from the Heretics in the eyes of anyone else.
In the MEU only a literal fucking retard wouldn't have deemed the geth beyond redemption and worthy of destruction by the end of the first game at the very latest.
There was no indoctrination btw, Legion was clear on that. They simply reached a different conclusion from the main geth and the main geth were cool with it.
>>167711352
>exact citation please because I'm pretty sure no one ever said the people "approaching" the geth afterwards were unarmed or came in peace, just that they were all killed.

look at this carefully doctored footage and how the quarians are always the attackers
>>167711759
Their first experience of organics was their own creators first enslaving them, then trying to kill them. I believe it was a highly enlightened act that they did not leave the Veil immediately to murder down every organic out of self-defense.
I know this is a made-up argument you're not doing well in it. You have to willingly deny your understanding of the context of their conception in order to make those points that you are making.
>>167712770
That actually could have been a good twist if they explicitly allowed Shepard to call out the footage as manipulated and ask what exactly happened in the part Legion skipped over (between "ebul quarians shoot peaceful geth" and "and then there were only a few million quarians left out of the original civilian population of tens of billions"). Or what happened immediately after (Council tries diplomacy, get shot at; everyone tries to leave the geth alone, geth armada comes out and tries to genocide them anyway). Unfortunately Mac just wanted you to love his RoboWaifu so Legion's BS is basically left unchallenged by the narrative, thus the narrative is implicitly approving of it.
>>167713117
The Quarians obviously annihilated each other in a civil war over whether the Geth should be killed
Geth were innocent bystanders
reminder that there are no quarians confirmed in MEA
they were not important enough to make it into the next installment
even the krogan are there lmao
>>167713410
That's actually not far from the truth. The Quarians who sided with the Geth were wiped out by the militant Quarians.
>>167712876
>I believe it was a highly enlightened act that they did not leave the Veil immediately to murder down every organic out of self-defense.
They didn't try that because they would have gotten rekt. Even post 300 years of build-up their dreadnought fleet was still smaller than the peacetime dreadnought fleet of the turians.
Also:
>committing the equivalent of 1,000 Holocausts instead of 1,000,000 Holocausts makes you enlightened
Shit, I don't even think people judge Muslims by standards this low.
>You have to willingly deny your understanding of the context of their conception in order to make those points that you are making.
>"y-you don't know what they've been through, it was o-okay for them to genocide tens of billions and then attempt the same to trillions, shitlord!"
>"oh but the quarians who were born into poverty with AIDs because the geth genocided their ancestors should trust and love the geth"
>"and the rest of the galaxy whose only experience with the geth has been getting murdered by the geth should do the same"
Again, literally Muslim tier. The geth, since the start of the Morning War, have been a completely evil and 100% hostile group. They were literally more thorough in their extermination of the quarian civilian population than the Nazis planned to be of the Slavs in their wet dreams, and since then have continued the policy of being 100% hostile to everyone else as well, rendering any peaceful negotiation impossible in the process. They are completely without redeeming factors and you'd have to be an idiot in-universe to trust a single word they say or advocate for any policy that's not "wipe them out".
Did you ever wonder that maybe there's a reason that literally every character from Kaidan to Garrus cheers the quarians on for destroying the geth and says it was the right decision?
>>167713117
more to the point, what happened to the geth sympathizers among quarians.
It's probably just bioware being in charge of their own plot rather than outright attempt of legion to manipulate shepard and whitewashing its history but still.
>>167713410
t. Walters
Of course, how silly of me to think otherwise.
>>167713843
>more to the point, what happened to the geth sympathizers among quarians.
The geth killed them like they killed everyone else. Those idiot sympathizers of the "poor innocent misunderstood geth" among the quarians were just making it easier for the geth to wipe them all out.
I wonder what Bioware meant by this.
>>167713848
>muuh genocide
(((quarians)))
>>167713843
Legion says in the stupid memory cluster mission that sympathizers got shot along with the Geth
>>167713696
The Geth are software. They only manufacture hardware when needed. Even the heretic base only had dozens of mobile platforms while the servers were hosting millions of Geth. Your argument of them not keeping around a galaxy-conquering fleet is moot. Whey would've built one if that was their goal. They were building a fucking dyson sphere for god's sake. Go ask the Turians to build one of those.
It doesn't feel like your argument is going anywhere at this point. You just keep talking about Muslims like a 14-year-old whose fist exposure to politics was Trump, trying to raise emotions the same way that showman. The world, and people, in general, are a lot more complex than that.
>>167714046
That's from the omniscient narrator actually, from a book written by the lead writer of ME1 and most of ME2.
>>167714086
>the omniscient quarian government somehow managed to track down and kill every single geth-sympathizing citizen out of a population of billions spread out over dozens of worlds in like 1 month before the geth wiped everyone out.

>some dude says "stop shooting them they just wanna live"
>gets shot
>years pass
>Geth are murdering people left and right
>if any people still think the Geth should be spared, they sure as fuck aren't speaking up about it anymore
>>167714497
Basically this. The Geth practically had to fight their way out of the womb.
>>167714497
>>years pass
The entire Geth War from the order to shut down the geth to the exodus of the last 0.01% of the quarian population happened in the same year, 1895. So it couldn't have lasted much more than a few months total.
>>167714497
>>some dude says "stop shooting them they just wanna live"
>>gets shot
Not even that. The geth's video just shows her being rifle butted out of the way so the soldier can shoot the geth behind her.
Still not sure what version of Andromeda I should buy. PC or PS4 pro. I played the first three on xbox so I'm thinking ill have better time on ps4, but my favorite part of me3 was the multiplayer and the odds are it'll have a longer lifespan on pc. What should I do /meg/?
>>167714989
>Not even that. The geth's video just shows her being rifle butted out of the way so the soldier can shoot the geth behind her.
There's a video of a sympathizer hunkering down with a Geth and getting shot along with it
>>167715007
>buying
But seriously, PC. PS4pro a shit.
>>167714989
It also shows them blowing shit up and the damaged geth crawling over to the dead creator asking if he's alright.
There's also one unity that literally offered to surrender it's hardware if it meant keeping the quarian master out of it.

I haven't seen anything about this. Supposedly, the fetch quests from DA:I has been curtailed, so I'm guessing lower than a fully completed DA:I.
I'm guessing the same as the old ME games and somewhere to the 30-50 hours.
>>167715007
For the long term I'd get it on PC. Because 10 years later you can still play it. Who knows if the sony console out in 2027 can even play PS4 games, but you have a good chance that a PC at that point can play Andromeda.
Honestly though, it might end up like DA:I in that you buy the full game then a complete edition gets releases two to three years later, and then you're forced to buy the game again since all the DLC's come with it.
>>167716543
>Honestly though, it might end up like DA:I in that you buy the full game then a complete edition gets releases two to three years later, and then you're forced to buy the game again since all the DLC's come with it.

It's because of faggots like you we don't get games like Darklands and Ultima VII anymore for fuck's sake.
>>167718473
piracy barely affects their sales buddy
also >faggots like me
>>167718260
I expect a DA:I, which means l'll enjoy it but dislike the main character VAs and the romance options, but end up buying the DLCs anyway.
>>167718754
well fuck me then, i retract the part about you and your cunt fucking kids.
>>167718473
also, the reason we don't get games like that anymoe is because the market is shifting towards phones and shit, easier games in general for kids and normies.
There wouldn't be a large financial gain in making them, and I honestly don't think you would want them to considering the state of game companies right now and your average writer with half their head shaved calling for gender wars now
Trust me there are plenty of goys to throw money at them, it's just different garbage
>>167719446
That's not true, tho. We still get games like Undertale and it only took like 3 people to make it. We get AAA titles like Doom, or Ass Creep Black Flag. You're just concentrating on the negatives and forgetting all the shitty games of old. There are people making their living off making fun of how shit old games were.
Game production is difficulty today, not necessarily out of lazines. You don't want the graphics to be outdated by the time the game is ready, so you must nail the production time or else you fall into a developement hell like Duke Nukem. And few games get make it out of that. The only recent example was FFXV.
So the only thing that really changed is that with production times shifting more towards meeting graphical requirements there is less time for long stories or huge maps, unless released episodically (like Hitman 2017), but that is a technical difficulty, and even then we get gems like Witcher 3.
>>167718754
Tell that to China. The single player game market is more or less dead there due to rampant piracy, the only things that make money there anymore at MMOs and mobile games.

Garrus is a reddit-tier squadmate who everyone likes because he's quippy and passive. He's not terrible or anything but he's primarily liked for that reason. He has no strong convictions and no actual role to play in the plot to boot. Additionally he brings no special skills to the table besides being good at killing mercenaries and geth, which applies to every other member of the squad anyway.
Tali and Wrex are infinitely superior.

They wouldn't animate Hanar or Elcor. Volus are Jews, suit rats shouldn't be allowed anywhere for the crap they pulled over the geth, geth are a variable so it gets scrapped. Drell are irrelevant and ded. No one cares about batarians or vorcha.

Why can't we convince Kenson that she's indoctrinated, just like we can convince Saren?
>>167725630
>>Tali inspired outfit for Peebee
keep Shreksari away from the good character designs
>>167723436
This. And then they just had to go and make one the face of marketing. Add on the fact that her personality sounds insufferable and that she's guaranteed to be important and mandatory and we're in for a great ride.
>>167726253
I wouldn't be too worried. The face of ME1's marketing was Ashley. For 2, Miranda and Thane. They were as boring as they all looked, but also probably the worst characters and the others were much better.
>quarian stowaways
>can't find freezer pod to sneak in
>shit inside their suit until they die
They really can't put quarians in
>>167726375
Miranda's pretty popular. Not as popular as Tali, Garrus and Liara, but she's up there.
>>167725639
Because Saren, at least in his own way, had great willpower during and before indoctrination.
Kenson a shit either way.
>>167726375
But from the way they're presenting Peebee, she's built specifically to be a "fan favorite". That doesn't bode well. And we all know the first writer's pet was Liara. Peebee might be the new Asari pet.
>>167726785
>Peebee might be the new Asari pet.
She 100% is, Mac probably wants to bang her VA.
Mars was pretty cool. Must suck doing it as a soldier with Ashley and James.

Welp, Arrival is done. Now onto ME3.
>>167726378
No. They can't. And shouldn't. The quarian and geth stories are done and over, there's nothing new or original there. They should instead focus on the new races.
>>167726585
Would still have been nice to see. But that would require effort, which, as we all know, BioWare hates.
>>167726949
ME3 was overall mediocre, but it had some great levels and story arcs.
I feel like people are exaggerating on Sarah's face. I think she looks great in the side shots, but he frontal isn't anything mindblowing. But goddamn people all over the place are acting like she's an offense to the eyes.
>>167726785
All her writer does is tweet out cutesy little answers about her. If I'm right and she's the only one with a VA video, that cements it.

And so ends ME2, the most divisive entry in the series. Now, we shall depart the Terminus Systems and Cerberus, and head back to Citadel Space and the Alliance, to kick the Reapers in the balls.
>>167728291
Huh. I'm the opposite way: I enjoy RPGs the most when I self-insert. But hey, you do what you do, I ain't gonna judge.
>>167728361
To be honest from the footage they have released, it doesn't look too bad to me. Pretty much every aspect of the game gets ungodly amount of shit in these threads, but I honestly don't see what's so bad about in-game stuff they released. Bioware's track record of this decade makes me pessimistic about Andromeda, but that's the only thing that really rustles my jimmies.
One last question: is there a torrent for all of ME3's extra content? Preferably similar to this one [http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=711814105], in the Downloadable Content section.

What is the chance of MEA being a Force Awakens of sorts? That means trying to recreate ME1's atmosphere by blantly copying the original.

>>167755649
Sorry, having a brain fart. There's another beaner that's voiced by BritHawke's VA who is supposed to be a romance option.

and here's his face model
http://www.imdb.com/name/nm2252958/
The guy BritHawke is voicing is named Reyes. You can hear him talking about angaran blood in one of the videos. He's got a Spanish accent. Liam's got a British accent.

They used photogrammetry, though. I don't think Bioware would go to those lengths. Plus, they seemingly blew everything on that, too, seeing as how Battlefront EA is boring as hell.

>>167761643
>>167762961
You seem to confuse some concepts here, so I'm going to tell you what's what:
It's really not an opinion. we live in the age of 4k-photorealism (something EA actually point out themselves), not in the age of EGA-graphics. Bad animations and models like that are unacceptable. The only, single, sole exception to that rule would be if it was supposed to be stylized graphics, like comic-style, arthouse or something, but it clearly isn't. And thus, ergo, concordantly, vis-avis... you're are opinions a shit.
>>167752561
Where's the source on sibling customization having limited options? That's the one thing I haven't heard before.
All I've heard is that the sibling will automatically resemble you a little, which is a nice feature. But that you can change it and make them look completely different from there.
>>167763735
No, one of the chargers was. Krem.
>>167763665
I think the AI leader, Jien Garson, is going to be the designated trans character since the VA is a trans person. My guess is Dragon Age is the first one with a fully trans squad mate (that Tevinter Magister they hyped the fuck out of in the comic books)

Who said the ME3 weapons were created between ME2 and ME3? You think Shepard used every single weapon in the fucking galaxy?
>>167772886
Some weapons in Mass Effect have a description that explicitely states who made it and when.
The M-something Something SMG is made by Cerberus, some N7 weapons are made during the Reaper War, most, if not all, quarian-made weapons are made right before or during the Reaper War.
I don't mind the Cerberus one, because that might just be a version of an already existing weapon, or just that they currently produce and use said weapon. If you miss picking it up, you can buy it from Batarian State Arms.
If you picked any other ending apart from Destroy you picked wrong.

>>167672804
Saved Kaidan because I thought enemy forces could defuse that bomb. When that faggot came onto me in ME3 I regretted that decision.
I always wondered something about Andromeda.
Why the flying fuck this whole Andromeda plan exist?
We have the Council, the different races in the galaxy, the mass relay and even more important the fucking Reapers are invading the galaxy while these cunts are literally running away to find a new home instead of staying here and help with the war.
These faggots of Andromeda went in a trip of 600 fucking years to get a new home when they should at least research the mass relays and use them to connect the Milky way with Andromeda in one way or another. On the other hand most of the Milky way is still unexplored, why not just go and check the systems that have nobody there and check if there is a golden planet?
Andromeda doesn't really feel like a part of the Mass Effect franchise.
>>167774214
Infinitely better than ME3 Ashley though
>>167774384
>the fucking Reapers are invading the galaxy
Not during the planning and execution of the project. They leave before the Reapers invade.
>>167774384
Anyone has a better resolution of that image? that shit is too small.
>>167774170
Not ignoring the biodrone shills for one
>>167774501
But Shepard and the council knew about them.
>>167774517
That wasn't even me talking. I've not been in a thread in days.
>>167774695
But you did here >>167774170
>>167774650
The AI isn't funded by the Council, it's a private venture.
I like to ignore the canon ending/s and imagine that the crucible was in fact a humongous Relay firmware update system which put the relays under the control of EDI, or Vigil, maybe some other AI or even copies of Shepard's cnsciousness. The relays then stop functioning as transit mechanisms temporarily, to instead start shooting ludicrously powerful bolts of FTL space-magic at reapers. The relays are pretty impervious to any weapon and the reapers are destroyed, along with most of what is behind them.
Then the relays go back to being transit devices and the galactic civilizations start rebuilding.
>>167774650
BioWare has said the point of the AI wasn't to run away from the Reapers.
>>167774384
The stated goal on the official website is to explore, colonize, and set up a resource pipeline back to the Milky Way. This doesn't make any sense when taken in consideration with existing lore. Much of the Milky Way is unexplored and there are still dormant relays left to activate and systems to mine for resources. The real reason is that BioWare wants to reboot the series.
>>167774940
I like to ignore Mass Effect 2 and 3.
>>167774854
But the guy called me.
>>167775232
>resource pipeline
Gee we could use some more of that super-rare material for our science experiment.
Hey talk to the AI guys via quantum comms, there's bound to be some in the Andromeda Galaxy.
Ok.. We'll just have to put the experiment on hold for 600 years or so.Is that why there are krogan and asari aboard, because they're the only ones who live long enough to benefit from such long travel times?
>>167775232
So basically this is a shitty asspull from BioJews to milk the name "mass effect" even more.
If they wanted to make more games from this franchise why they didn't just use Shepard and the rest of the cast?
Up to this point after any of the endings, especially the green one, all the civilizations in the entire Milky Way are incredibly advanced compared with all the plebs on Andromeda. The people in the Milky way learned how to use and repair the mass relays, they learned how the reapers works and their tech mover centuries ahead thanks to all the information left by the reapers itself.
Also there you have the bait of the Red ending.
FUCK BIOWARE.
>>167775257
Maybe he meant OCD the diagnose, not OCD the poster
>>167775804
>such long travel times
Don't be retarded, anon, they use cryosleep.
>>167775804
>Is that why there are krogan and asari aboard, because they're the only ones who live long enough to benefit from such long travel times?
Are you fucking retarded?
>>167775983
They need to bring resources back man, and do you expect the recipient to put themselves in cryosleep for a resource shipment?
>>167775804
The Krogan/Asari are mixed in all the crews because they're supposed to wake up periodically during the 600 year journey and check on how things are going / correct any problems.
>>167775232
why are you reading it as resource pipeline?
It could just mean "we've picked place that's rich in resources so it can develop quickly and massively."
Maybe that's seen as prerequisite to build up the colonies to shape where it can afford expending some of its output on an intergalactic relay.
>>167776242
Fron the last line of the screenshot it reads like whoever is funding this expects some return on investment.
>>167775832
after everthing that has happened I wouldnt want shepard or the cast to return.
>>167777259
I suppose I can see why you'd think so but you might be overthinking it.
It feels natural that you'd want to reconnect the colony to the old world even without intent to actually ship resources back over the great darkness between, just to regain contact between the communities.
>>167775832
>If they wanted to make more games from this franchise why they didn't just use Shepard and the rest of the cast?
It's more issue of writing yourself into a corner with the RGB endings, and excessive pride.
Recycling the cast is not necessary, problem is there's no clear continuity of the setting to set the cast into - that's why we're staring over in a galaxy far far away.
Who knows? Maybe there will be a retcon or some sort of reconciliation at end of andromeda arc. If the brand even survives that long.
>>167777630
Yeah, true. I think that's why those anons were arguing about the Nexus being a relay a few threads ago. I don't really care, the shift to Andromeda is just a soft reboot to a series that needs to get away from the reaperabloobloo
>>167774384
>>167775232
im thinking it's actually setup by the illusive man as a plan b in case the reapers cannot be stopped, which is why he also sends his daughter to save his bloodline.
the real reason is bioware wrote themselves into a corner with the me3 endings that are so vastly different there's no way to continue the games past that point.
Do you guys think the new ME will replace the old crew? Will people more refer to the new squad and forget the old ones?
>>167778302
lol no none of the squad look attractive or interesting at all
it's like the DA2 of Mass Effect.
>>167778302
No. I don't think this game will ever be popular enough to displace the old crew.
>>167778302
No but there will be a new generation of ME players where this will be their first game and they'll probably never touch the original trilogy.
>>167778302
Course not. New crew looks unlikable and ugly as fuck. Vetra maybe being the only exception.
>>167778640
ME2 was the DA2 of Mass Effect, and I liked ME2.
>>167779224

me2 had the most interesting and diverse group of companions and waifu potential DA2 was lackluster in that regard.
>>167778302

>"There is no Shepard without Vakarian"
>lol whatever let's throw a pointless tone-breaking turret sequence in the middle of this grim, but heartfelt scenario because we're afraid that the dudebros are falling asleep not shooting something for five seconds
Who the fuck thought this was necessary?
I understand the worries about Mass Effect going down the open world drain to chase the Fallout 4 money, but goddamn, I'm happy that Andromeda doesn't seem to be built from the ground-up for the CoD audience like ME3 was. 2011-2013 was a godawful time for vidya.
>>167782154
the whole London level was a mess.
It was the finale of the triology and you are finally fighting on earth and all you do is run down grey corridors into grey open areas with chest high walls.
No mass graves, no desperate civilians, no parks, no bridges, no architecture that stood out. It couldve been Detroit if not for Big Ben standing somewhere inbetween the buildings.
Just roads, sterile apartments and grey. It was boring and lasted way too short.

I can't stand SFM porn, personally. More latex-based outfits for waifu characters would be great, though. They really hit the nail on the head with Miranda's loyalty outfit.Trying to find SFW latex stuff to post was a real pain.
>>167784154
damn, Liara mustve really ravaged your little boipucci with her MT.
>>167778302
No. One of the few trademark things about BioWare: their characters are very memorable, whether in fame or infamy. I can remember every single important character from every BioWare game I've played. That should speak leagues for their writing "talent."
The new crew will NEVER replace the gruff Wrex, the quiet Garrus, the excitable Tali, the factual Legion, the pragmatic Mordin, and so many others. No one can replace them.
No one.

It's just a really dumb scene.

If we ever go back to the milky way there's going to be some fucking liara/shep spawn bourne of that last scene.

>>167784573
I didnt realize Liara triggers autistic fagloards this much.
are you a talicuck?
>>167784268
I still think something similar to Miranda's suit should be an alternative/unlockable look for Cora. Possibly having ties to Cerberus, and all it.
Or maybe a full suit of the shiny material on her belly and chest.
>>167784804
Yes. That's the only reason I hate the asari. It's not their boring design, or that they serve no purpose beyond juvenile fantasy in the lore, or that Liara is creepy ass anime character for most of the series. It's all my love for Tali. You caught me.
>>167784894
To be honest I think Cora looks ugly as hell, and I don't understand Bioware's design philosophy of 'let's make the human female love interests look like old trannies.'
Miranda and ME2 Kelly were the only good looking human female love interests in the series and they seem to have abandoned the notion of making attractive characters. I fucking hate modern Bioware.I swear ME would be a better series in the hands of either CDPR, Obsidian or some weeb company who capitalizes on the waifus.
I hope they don't fuck over the character customization. I just want to be a white guy and fuck some cute aliens.

>>167785847
Asari represent the power of matriarchal society, if they'd let you destroy them the outrage would reach critical levels. BW is scared of that so they make safe, bland games.
Still played 'em of course.
>>167785097
The fact that they have no purpose... IS their purpose. Mass Effect (the first one atleast) was always a love letter to Star Trek style sci-fi television and novels. The designs of the Asari and Salarians reflect this, the Asari being "green alien chick to bang," and the Salarians being "little gray Area 51 alien." That's their whole purpose.

Hypocrisy is when no one is allowed to shit talk YOUR waifu, because she's absolutely perfect in every way, but it's okay to shit talk THEIR waifu, because they have shit taste and their waifus are sub-pleb tier.

>>167786224
To sum it up: massive amounts of shitposting between Talifags and Jackfags, then some asshole came in and started spamming gay Kaidan pics, and sometimes Kai Leng. It was fucking awful, to say the least.
>>167786224
They do, partially. Females are generally in charge of politics, but men dominate military, science etc. Asari are just empowered women-only society on the highest level of development, culture and shit. They are also the most peaceful because there are no warmongering males ( of sort as they are monogender ) in their ranks, opposed to patriarchal krogan.
Which have their own powerful females of course. I'm lost.
>>167786391
That still happens though.
>>167786391
Its not awful, its the only reason i lurk. That and Tali pics
>>167786657
Not nearly as badly or often.
Basically, the point I'm trying to make, is: don't start waifuwars. There's no winner, there's nothing to win, and there's no reason to try and win. It's pointless and only seeks to divide us. We must unite, against the true threat to Mass Effect: BioWare.
>>167786829

>>167789703
you make it a shit place, fuck off man
>>167789543
He'll get bored of ban-evading eventually.
>>167789829
No.
>>167775232
>The stated goal on the official website is to... set up a resource pipeline back to the Milky Way
That's not what it says. It says they want to "eventually create a reliable route between [Andromeda] and the Milky Way galaxy" as a separate goal. It says nothing about collecting resources to send to the Milky Way.
Citadel was a good DLC.

The neighbourhood was ruined as soon as you redditfags came here
Reminder that courier is a ban evading cancerous tripfag from fallout general and should be ignored
So I've been modding the shit out of ME3 and now I can't use biotics. The only power I can use is medigel. I'm playing vanguard with no biotics,it's worse than soldier.
Did I fuck up the flags with the save editor or what? I don't want to start all over again. Please help

Yes it was. That one time when they got of their collective high horse.
>>167790414
What is minimum amount of people you can get on that picture?
I'm guessing Joker, Vega, Liara, Traynor and EDI
>>167790802
Play the game as intended by the dev team.
Also, buy all dlc and merch.
>>167790738
desu I prefer to have an attentionwhoring ban evading tripfag to a ban evading picspammer
>>167790915
You can also stop by Bioware offices and throw your wallet at them.
>>167790982
Lucky you, you'll have both as long as the Reddit faggotry stays in this general
>>167775232
>Much of the Milky Way is unexplored and there are still dormant relays left to activate and systems to mine for resources.
Activating dormant relays is illegal, those places are inaccessible.
Also I think you have be some kind of weird autist to not understand the value of going to another whole galaxy.
>>167790414
Citadel was a shit DLC.
It tries so hard to be funny but the ME writers are humorless children. They had already littered the main game with hamfisted in-jokes for fanboys, so Citadel was just a retardation overload.
>>167790982
>b-but he's saving us from tripfaggotry and waifufags
>>167790849
Joker, EDI, Liara, James Vega, Steve Cortez, and Samantha Traynor
>>167791076
i dont even know what reddit faggotry is
Kai Leng fags and Bio Drones defending the shitty premise of ME:A, we've reached the end of another thread.
>>167791147
Right, forgot STEVE.
>>167791134
He'll kill the next thread and then we will all be free.
>>167791113
>>167791113
Actually it was very good.
>>167791175
Then you're probably part of the faggotry
>>167790915
I know this is bait but fuck you. Have you played with hi res textures? It's pretty good.
>>167791384
maybe, but i would still like to know what it is
>>167791313
>stupid shit is fun
You must love the 'Ernest' movies.
>>167791369
Actually you have very shit taste.
>>167791147
>>167791252
He said minimum amount, Steve doesn't count towards that because he's dead in a run that kills people
>>167791435
They were fun when I was a kid, I probably wouldn't watch them again.
>>167791113
Oh God they don't shut up during firefights. In the game itself there are no combat taunts, guess the production was that rushed.
Just remember to report the spamming cunt.
>>167791603
Doesn't Citadel take place before that run chronologically?
>>167791657
Source?
>>167791809
Go fuck yourself.
How cringeworthy is the boss fight with Kai Leng at the Cerberus Base? Those back and forths are so retarded, especially when he goes "ss-shut up!"
>>167791984
Did you have an aneurysm, fucker? I want to know where he got the image.
>>167792047
I don't remember it being cringe. In fact I don't remember that boss fight at all. Only the renegade execution option.
>>167791809
Andromeda.exe
>>167792047
I don't see how that was cringe, Shepard just shits on him for being a loser in that fight and a butt flustered "s-sshut up!!!" is all he has in return. It's perfect, if anything.
>>167792329
That's cringeworthy, autisticand cute
>>167792170
>You're too slow Shepard
>I'm only slow because I'm not running

>>167792540
surprise, im actually the disgusting Tripfag known as Courier.
I fucking hate all of you.
>>167792170
It was cringe because he wouldn't fucking die because of plot armor, he kept taking that stupid squatting "ninja" stance for no reason, he kept blowing up the ground everywhere Shepard WASN'T, and he's making a fuck ton of noise when he gets back up but is somehow supposed to be silent enough to sneak up on 3 people.
>>167792691
And we hate trip fags :3
>>167792758
I don't really understand why, but okay.
>>167792691
Well i don't give a shit. Post more waifus, if we're going to spam the rest of the limit at least we could have some diversity
>>167792691
No, that's not you, that's me. I'm the real Courier.
>>167792819
Defeats the advantages of being anonymous, makes attention whores and sitting ducks
>>167792883
>diversity
>Tali
Wew
>>167792883
Can do.
>>167792973
*ahem* Thanks for the pic.
>>167792978
Ah. I see. Understandable then, I will refrain from namefag status unless necessary.
>>167792841
This advanced my cancer.
>>167792883
Here is the octopus overlord waifu.
>yfw ME:next generation will be about reconquista of milky way from the Leviathans
>>167793125
>implying DykeWare would ever make a Mass Effect game as degenerate and misogynist and homophobic as Star Trek: TNG.But I wish.
>>167793125
That would be... well interesting at least. But i would settle with Starcraft-like plot with humanity ( and maybe some other servants ) creating a whole new society. And of course there would be a envoy from Alliance you would have to destroy.
Ah crap. Let's just get it over with
>>167793125
Sadly, the only demographic that can be wiped out in mainstream media are nazis
>>167793886
His suit has nails so he can scratch his worn-out asshole better
I don't know which of these cancers are the worst.
>>167794449
For you.According to pretty much everyone here, I, the loathed Tripfag, am the worst. For some reason.
>>167794596
>still can't stop attentionwhoring
Jesus Christ
>>167794761
Yep.
>>167794189
For some reason I think this image is lewder like it is than if she were naked.
>>167794596
Just shut the fuck up, that other faggots a cunt but you're just an attentionwhore bitch
>>167794596
I was talking about the image spamming, goddamn you are an attention whore.

The thread is autosaging and I'm not making a new one

>I'M COURIER LOOK AT ME
>>167796457
Romance confirmation when?
New thread? There's a new screenshot of Jaal that was just posted.
Anyone making a new thread, or should I post the one I've got ready?
