The Mass Effect thread

mass effect sux

[inte]

hey, its relevant discussion

hows

deus ex

mass effect 3 been treating you?

for the record, the original was fairly interesting, but as the The Rule of Threes goes, things go to shit in the 3rd installment

except adaptations

and deus ex

[inte]

no, i want a legitimate answer to why you guys think the mass effect series is good or satisfying at least

i can give a couple to why i think its not

1) the extra casualization of the series
2)"pick an ending" storyline with no actual consequences to your actions
3) i press 1 for vanguard charge and 1 shot almost every enemy. 3 sec cooldown, makes you invulnerable for the duration of the charge. makes me think there are more broken abilities

[inte]

what does difficulty have to do with an easily broken ability? i play on hardcore anyways as extra difficulty only increases hp/dmg/ability use from enemies. i take 20 more seconds to kill a unit? how is that even fun for an shooting rpg

casualization - "narrative difficulty" less stat building choices, less choice in general. dialog is 1 for bad 2 for indifferent 3 for good, on-rails shooting, less exploration involved. exploring a planet is basically a fetch quest

SPRITE ANIMATIONS!

someone tell me some positives on why they found the game satisfying please

FTR, i LOVED mass effect 1, and 2 was alright in comparison to 3

"k" is not a rebuttal either

[inte]

calling someone butthurt doesn't really do anything for your argument either

[inte]

1 has all the problems you're talking about

So why do you love it

But it was different and exciting for its time

You would expect 2 to take the best of 1 and try to improve, but instead they decided to take the series in a different direction

3 was pretty much expected, at least it didn't get my hopes up :p

[inte]

i've found the real problem

[inte]

Real spoilers ahead for those who haven't played much ME3, slightly nsfw

Spoiler:

[inte]
