>>344806480
Wrex.
Remember that first time you gained access to the Star Map?
Remember the first time you beat the game and thought about how much BIGGER and BETTER the sequel was going to be?
i've never played a mass effect game
Why is tali the single most amazing character ever, /v/?
>>344809483
Tali was interesting in the first game. She became an obnoxious cunt in the sequels.
>>344809314I think that both mass effect 2&3 were good games. They made some mistakes, but they were worthy sequels to ME1.
>>344809538
I remember myself liking her in ME2
>>344806480
Mass effect 2 was perfect prove me wrong
>>344809726
She had a decent story arc in ME2 at least. She was just unbearable in 3.
>>344809640Seconded. I think each game had its strengths and shortcomings, but it was still one of the stronger game trilogies I can think of despite the whole ending controversy.
>People on here unironically think 2 was better than 1
Pretty much a litmus test for underage faggotry.
>>344809538SING ALONG MODE
How come Wrex and Garrus were so shit in ME1, but then became god tier in ME2 and ME3?
How come Liara and Ash were god tier in ME1, but then became shit in ME2 and ME3?
>>344809538
She didn't even have a personality in 1 except "Hello I am a Quarian here to educate you about quarians". A LITERAL mouthpiece for her people.
>>344809538
Really? I thought Tali wasn't much more than a codex entry on Quarians in the first game.
Grew more fond of her in the sequels.
>>344810094
Liara's DLC in ME2 was breddy gud
>>344810094
Wrex and Garrus were great in all three games.
They removed Liara's most interesting character trait of being awkward weirdo.
Ash became a tranny. She was only ever really interesting as a space bigot anyway.
>>344810094
Ash was forgettable in ME2 and ME3 because her and Kaidan's roles were short and completely interchangeable.
Liara had a decent arc as long as you bought the Shadowbroker DLC.
>>344810360
I found Liara's development across the three games to be interesting, to say the least.
>>344806480
KROGAN COCK, SO GOOD
>>344810881
How does he manage to always get the first post in the sfm threads?NOT BAD FOR A BUNCH OF ALIEN SCUM
>>344810881
Humans are so.. squishy. Where are you even supposed to grab them?
>daily reminder krogan dont like female humans
>>344811147
Should have genocided them desu
>>344810881
I honestly love her voice and enjoy jacking it to her sfm stuff. The Nidalee one is the best.
>>344806480
ME3 had by far the best combat
>>344810056
>underage
But I'm 29. I just think the actual combat in 1 is unintuitive, even if having infinite ammo is nice. Plus quite frankly I was bored using the Mako since the worlds always felt too samey.
But then the only Bioware games I genuinely enjoyed were KotoR (because it's SW) and NWN.
>>344810056
ME2 is overall a much more solid experience.
Anything that isn't tied to ME1's main quest is just randomly generated terrain and copy pasted areas.
ME2 on the other hand has practically unique looking areas for practically every mission, including side quests.
It excels in the character interaction with your crew and although the main story might not be as gripping as ME1's, it's team collection and buildup to the suicide mission is fantastic.
Not to mention that the gameplay as a whole was made a lot more smooth and enjoyable.
ME1 feels rather barebones and empty despite it's great space opera story, but ME2 is a well designed, very solid experience that doesn't feel lacking in any category.
>>344810094
>Wrex and Garrus
>shit in ME1
They were great, especially Wrex.
Anyone else always romance Ashley? She's not really my favorite girl but I tend to go for the girl I think makes the most sense/has the most interesting relationship with the protagonist.
I like that Ashley's romance has them actually break up and have trust issues, it's the only romance option with some real conflict that needs to be overcome. Everyone else just sucks Shepard's cock 24/7, but he and Ash actually have to work shit out first.
>Liara and Big Blue MILF Titties justicar are the only girls in your party who escape Bioware's inability to make attractive woman faces
>Only Liara will fuck you
>Liara is, coincidentally, the only lesbian option
Based dykes win again
>>344812425
But ashley is a fucking xenophobe that deserves to die in nuclear fire.Liara is better
Quit ME2 the second I got back to the Citadel and there were like three fucking rooms to explore
>>344812425
I thought Ash had the best romance arc in ME1, but her character arc faded over the course of the series.
So I'm kind of fond of Tali's in ME3, as the shifting dialogue ties into all of her character missions and shows how her and Shep's relationship developed over time.
>>344813454
But the citadel in ME2 was fairly big.
Most of it is completely optional though
>>344809953Thirded. Mass Effect 3 in particular was awash in great scenes. Grunt's last stand against the Rachni. Legion's question to Tali. Mordin rectifying his mistake. Half dead Thane slapping the shit out of Kai Leng. Garrus and Shepard broing it up with sniper rifles together.
>>344812016
>although the main story might not be as gripping as ME1's, it's team collection and buildup to the suicide mission is fantastic.
What main story?
>>344812016
2 had way too many squad mates even without dlc. You only need 4-5 options
>>344814550
Collectors abducting fringe human planets and the Council ignoring it while Cerberus takes action.
>>344814668
They all were very good characters though.
>>344814840
>daddy issues the game
>good characters
Pick one
>>344814732
And all of that amounts to war assets in the sequel. what's worse, the semi-important parts (such as The Arrival and LotSB) get accomplished regardless if you had the DLC.
>>344815084
>Tali
>The black one
>Miranda
Who else? Literally nobody?
Not to mention Tali's was mostly the opposite, defending her father.
>>344815084
Good characters.
Easy pick.
>>344815084
>implying Zaeed wasn't based as fuck
>>344815159
I think it also amounted to no human reaper, no collectors, and a bunch of other shit too. It's not just about what you took with you, but also what you prevented.
>>344815245
Thane's quest is about his son having daddy issues as well as samara's daughter essentially has daddy issues as well
>>344815084
>Grunt
>Garrus
>Thane
>Legion
>Mordin
>Jack
>Daddy issues
Never played the DLC though
>>344815476
Thane's quest is a long reach but I'll accept it. You're bullshitting about Samara and you know it, though.
>>344809794
It wasn't, prove me wrong.
>>344815084
Zaeed, Legion, Bailey, Thane, Mordin, Aria and Grunt. Mostly Legion.
>>344815084
>>344815476
That's still 5 (one stretch) out of 13
>>344815914
It's really just two. Miranda and Jacob. Every other one you listed just happens to have include a family member but would be an outright lie to call it "daddy issues."
>>344815457
All of which is invalidated because you can start ME3 without importing from a ME2 save file and the goals of the DLC get accomplished regardless.
>>344816127
>Every other one you listed
That wasn't me. Besides, he's wrong regardless of how many straws he grasps for.
>>344816226
How is that invalidated?
>>344816127
>Two people who were brought into the Cerberus fold and clearly see the Elusive Man as a fatherly figure, which he uses to manipulate them, have daddy issues
>This is somehow a bad thing
Stop the presses! Something makes perfect sense in relation to the character and storyline, but some idiots have an issue with it!
>>344816263
Remember how Cerberus obtains the collector base regardless if you destroyed it or not?
Remember when a ME2 character is supposed to do something and then a replacement NPC does the same thing anyways?
>>344812425
No, Ashley annoyed me so much that i saved Kaidan. The surprise came in ME3 when he turned out to be a faggot. Should've let them both die.
Also thankfully Jack didn't survive the suicide mission.
>>344812016
>including side quests.
What fucking side quests? The only missions in the game were recruitment, loyalty, and Collector missions.
>>344816978
>The Quarian stealing the Volus's credit chip
Literally took two seconds to think of
0/10 try again
>>344812952
>Liara is, coincidentally, the only lesbian option
Samantha Traynor in 3.
>>344816978
There's about five to ten missions you can get by exploring planets, they're horribly tedious to get to but some are kinda neat.
>>344815159
>in the sequel
So that effects ME3, not ME2
>>344816978
Loyatly missions and a couple extra count as side quests.
Anything that's not strictly tied to the main quest is a side quest by definition.
>>344817083
I forgot about her. Probably because she's even more inconsequential than Kelly.Why the FUCK didn't Jack stay in as a lesbian option? It's not fair.
>>344817236
VA didn't want to probably, at least that's why there wasn't male gay romance until 3.
>>344813960All of those scenes were just building up on things 1 and 2 established already. No new content in 3 was worth giving a shit about.The multiplayer was ace though.
>>344817308
Aren't the lines in the fucking game? God damn it. Men get Carth and the gay spic in outer space in ME3 and girls still only get Liara in 3, unless you want to go for the most boring bitch in the world. Fuck Bioware, bunch of fujoshits.
>>344809538
Her character got more fleshed out in the sequels. She was objectively a better character in ME2, as was Garrus.
Help me save the galaxy once again friends, what was this guys name, he's just so bland i keep forget it, someone remind me.

>>344813005
I purposly keep ashley alive so i can shoot her myself in the third game, i do it on every play through since my first where she killed wrex.
>>344809726
She was written pretty well in 2. Only people who tend to hate her in the second game, are Legion fans boys. Who think she was picking on their robot husbando.
Haven't played ME3 in a while, didn't play any of the dlc. Recall her being forgettable in the third game.
>>344810056
It was.
Characters were better.
Gameplay was far better.
Setting was just as good.
Only thing ME1 did better was music and story. And the story was cliche as fuck.
>>344817747
But I love Legion and Tali, the only character I didn't like was Kasumi.
Also you get a really neat scene at Rannoch with her if you save everyone.
>>344811147
>reminder that after Grunt's loyalty mission a female krogan put in a breeding request for male Shepard
Yup.
Shep even makes krogan gals wet.
>>344809794
>Shepard I need you to go into this obvious trap that I know is a trap, but I'm not going to tell you it's a trap, because the collectors apparently think you're stupid enough to not find a derelict collector ship dangerous unless you think it's a trap.

>It's almost as convenient as the time they, for no reason, decided to not nuke the colony, that they knew you were on, from orbit.
2 is an alright game but anytime anything to do with the Collectors or Harbinger came up it fell apart.

My favorite moment in all of ME was in the Afterlife at Omega.
Not because of anything about Omega, but because I was filled with such hope after ME, and now there was so much more Mass Effect for me to enjoy and it looked so much better...
From that point on ME2 and subsequently ME3 were about the methodical erosion of my excitement about the series.
>>344813482

Never pirated the last dlc. Did buy the ME3s ending just killed the joy i had for the series. Leviathan was great for the lore, but that didn't really matter at the end.

Kill yourselves you cynical fucks, everything they've said and shown looks fantastic. More focus on what people loved in ME1 (exploration/RPG focus) with all the gameplay/combat improvements of ME3.
>>344829030
I want to know about my crew
I care more about the characters then the setting at this point
gameplay is me3 with jetpacks so I'm not worried about that
>>344829030
>everything they've said and shown
Which is nothing. The game is less than a year from release and they've still shown fuck all gameplay. The game is either going to be released half finished or its going to be pushed back again.
>>344829030
There is an inverse relationship between the amount of Mac Walters' input and the quality of the writing in the series. Mac "muh Cerberus" Walters was given more and more power over the storyline as he spent vast amounts of time giving Casey rimjobs. It was Mac and Casey alone who wrote the ending without any input from other writers (such as Weekes who wrote Tuchanka and Rannoch missions, aka the only good shit in ME3).
Guess who's the big man in the Creative Director chair now that Casey was run out of town? You guessed it: Mac "Kai Leng" Walters.
>>344829598
>Kai Leng
>Simply seeing that name reminds me of the 12 year old style e-mail he sends after you fight him
I think he might just be in the running for worst written character ever.

They showed everything without giving away to much. You cucks are what's wrong with gaming today, you need to know everything there is to know.
They already said that in N7 day (November) they are releasing a huge info dumb with gameplay videos etc.
>>344810881
>>344806480
Krogans dindu nuffin
>>344829883
All of that has been shown in little seconds long segments which have absolutely no additional details and can be easily manipulated. Also,
>Confirmed in interviews that role playing/dialogue will be significantly prioritized with no shortcuts/casualization
>No loading between entering planets (you see the transition unfold like No Mans Sky but can't control it)
I'll believe that when I see it. Devs talk up their games all the time before they show anything.
>>344829883
They've literally shown none of that though. All they've done is say it.
They also said that your choices would have meaning in ME3 and that it wouldn't simply be a matter of choosing a linear A, B, or C ending.
Hell, they said that in DA:I your holdings would be dynamic and periodically would be under attack and you'd have to manage your castles in order to repel invaders.
In other words, BW has very little credibility. If they haven't shown it, you can't assume they're telling the truth.

This.
How comes Todd gets memed to death for his lies but BioWare gets a free pass?
>>344814668
The number of squadmates isn't important. What you need is good options. ME2's party might have been bloated, but pick any 5 of them and it's still a better group than ME3's.
>>344831387
nobody gives a shit but you idiot
>>344813482
I told her to fuck off in ME3. Right before the last mission bitch was sucking Garrus' cock. In MY. FUCKING. SHIP.

>doesn't care if he's being lied to

>>344832382
If you don't romance her (well, I actually didn't romance none, I tried with Liara but I must have picked the wrong dialogue at some point) and go to talk to Garrus before the last mission, you find them making out.
So mad the Rachni and all my armies and my unlocked krogan and shit didnt even show up in me 3. Except based queen got mind controlled long enough to have another bug stomp mission even though she was said she would be based in me1.
>we're going to add a prothean squadmate in ME3

I'm still mad.

Honestly i was pretty alright with it. Subverted my expectations and it was funny watching liara get rekt
>>344831387
What? There's no "free pass". Bioware gets (rightfully) hated on all the time for the shit they pulled with ME3.
>>344810881sauce?
>>344806480
how did they manage to fuck up that series so hard. I don't even want to play the first game again because as soon i press the start button i remember part 2 and 3. And the disappointment is just too much.

She was just a walking talking codex in the first game.
>>344812016
>everything in ME 2 was unique man, even the side missions
Like that mission that was quite literally just pushing 3 buttons to redirect some energy? Or that mission that was you walking five feet and then killing five varren in front of a quarian. Or that mission that was literally getting a battery to a mech three times and then shooting two varren? Or how about the one where your mission was to walk from one end of a derelict ship to another?
Are ME2 fags just disingenuous or are they really blind to shit being shoved down their throats?
>>344829030
>>344809538
no she wasnt, in fact all the main crew members were pretty shitty in the first game, they all stood to just be mouthpieces for their species
Ashley- xenophobe and wholely unlikeable
Other psychic dude - placeholder who has no personality aside from small tidbits of how he was experimented on for being an early psychic aug child
Garrus- turian straightedge cop whos really dry on dialogue
Wrex - the gun ho berserker
Tali - quarian, my people are middle easterners mixed with bubble boy, the geth are baaaaaad
however the world and story were more interesting in 1 as was the gameplay imo or rather bosses were better, 2 had better individual characters and missions
>>344812952

>romacing dead chicks
>>344836639
Yeah, I am. Those missions all had unique and interesting plot premises. What they lacked in level design, they made up for with the little text blurbs. They actually made me care how the mission will be resolved or curious about how the plot will develop. In ME2 90% of the missions (that had combat, unlike those four I listed, that you ignored) consisted of:
>X mercenary group has a base/has taken over a base on this planet
And this part is espcially rich:
>shoot same copy pasted enemies
>meanwhile every enemy in ME2 was either a merc group or geth or collectors
So I guess disingenuous it is.
