Mass Effect 3 in space!

[Freya]

A gang of krogan headbutting a turian instead of killing things has to have been the funniest trout I have ever witnessed. I'm still giggling at it.

Multiplayer with Goldenboko and myself was awesome. I was a beast, he was a beast, together we were a beast, raping and pillaging as we went.

Almost beat the game last night, but I died twice during that swarm with a crapton of Banshees. THERE WERE LIKE SIX BANSHEES. And I had work the next day so I was like, "no I can't stay up long enough to beat this"

Banshees are so cool and scary o:

Hopefully I can finish it when I get home today.

KIND SPOILER VID! But the true Endboss

[Loony BoB]

Ahahaha, brilliant. I didn't even think about that... I honestly forgot about the lack of a major boss battle because of the insane firefights along the way.

[Jessweeee♪]

Just beat it and all I have to say is that this ending hooplah will go down in history as the biggest overreaction to anything video game related in the history of video games. Ever.

[Mirage]

It isn't an overreaction.

[Freya]

No it is xD The ending isn't as bad as people are making it out to be. The only really o.O is the last normandy part otherwise its FINE. MURARDER SHIELDS 4LYF!

No the ending is pretty much massively terrible and downright insulting to the fans of the series.

Marauder Shields isn't smurfing around on Hardcore let me tell you, I had to fight him more than I had to fight the (SPOILER)Reaper on Rannoch and I am legit not joking about that.

I think it is funny how everyone hates the ending to Mass Effect 3. I find the reasons that everyone is complaining about the ending are the same things I complained about with Mass Effect 1 and 2 (thus I never picked up 3...I figured they wouldn't change). Mass Effect 1 was alright enough to start the series but with the second, to me at least, it was clear that they had a story to tell and they were going to tell it and give the player manageable choices that would not have a major impact.

Spoilers for ME1,2 and 3 endings

[spoilers]At the end of ME 1 you can choose to let the reaper attack which has pluses and minuses but the end goal is that the reaper gets destroyed. You have no choice in that matter. I dislike ME2 so much that I can't even remember the ending but I am pretty sure the ending there is based around who lives based on who you assign to what task during the ending. You defeat the reaper thing though. You have no choice in this matter.

Your decisions don't really affect what you are going to do or how it goes down. Only minor things surrounding it. Why did anyone thing ME3 would be different? In this one the relays will be destroyed thus crippling the galaxy, you have no choice in this matter. This is the story they wanted to tell, some of the details they left up to the player. No matter what you choose the reapers are not a threat, it is just how they are not a threat.[/spoilers]

That is my opinion on the series anyway.

[Freya]

Yeah but your opinion isn't valid Ed :P

Milf, i started reading your post. Then it got long and wall-o-texty.

[edczxcvbnm]

My thing is that I can't believe people didn't see this coming. I really thought people didn't care that your choices have no impact. While that was a big problem for me, it was the fact that ME2 wasn't an RPG and became an adventure Gears of War sort of game that sealed the deal for me to give on the series. But after two games of choice no impacting anything big, it became clear that it wasn't going to change now (that should have been the shock) =P

[Madame Adequate]

Holy crap I think they just took this as a god damn challenge.

And ed, it's because they billed everything else you decide in the series as building up TO the ending. That is exactly WHY people are so pissed - we understood that you couldn't completely change the content of ME2 and 3 based on the choice at the end of 1. We understood that you couldn't completely change the content of 3 based on 2, as much as I would love to have been able to keep working with TIM and be part of Cerberus. The exchange promised was that the final outcome, if not the content of ME3 itself, WOULD be hugely influenced by decisions like that.

[Psychotic]

I have decided what the best team of four is, and one to possibly consider for a gold run:

Asari Adept, Drell Adept, Salarian/Human infiltrator, Salarian Engineer.

The two Adepts combine to spam the smurf out of Reave/Pull/Warp/Throw and biotic explode the entire universe. If playing Cerberus, the Asari Adept gets the nod over the Human Sentinel as she can Stasis the Phantoms.

The infiltrator, if played correctly Steve, does not stand next to the biotics and try to snipe They put all their skill points into maxing out cloak so it lasts a long time and you can do more damage while cloaked. They cap objectives, revive team mates, and occasionally cloak up to a big enemy like a brute or banshee and shotgun it. They do not waste their time sniping nub enemies. Steve.

Salarian Engineer for the utter broken beautifulness of Decoy to shield his team mates, as well as Energy Draining anything with a barrier or a shield.

comments/criticism welcome sirs.

Honourable mentions go to Krogan and Turian Sentinels as tanks, who may do well in the team in place of the Infiltrator. Their bullet sponging is a useful addition, and replacement for cloaking. I would use them as a sniper I guess, rather than the traditional "RUN AND HEADBUTT STUFF" Krogan method. Don't get me wrong, they would see their fair share of melee action too, they just wouldn't run off and leave the team to seek it.

I thought the endings were 'meh' but what the hell was everyone expecting from a series that kills off characters like George R.R. Martin with the twisted base of 'haha you caused this'.
I mean come on, it had to end that way.
