You're the kind of guy that wears a Mass Effect hoodie and I would not want to be seen with you in public

>I think that the Mass Effect series got exponentially worse with each entry

>>715628417
The opposite

>>715628495
nobody ever thought or said this unironically

>>715628608
Nobody was ever brave enough.

>>715628086 (OP)
I should go

>>715628672
*dumb enough

>>715628086 (OP)
The sci-fi setting these games created is probably the best one ever, unironically. Shame the raw gameplay lets it down a bit.

I don't know what changed, but I would have instantly refunded this if I paid it $60 or whatever the release price was...

3 is for gays and bisexuals only. If you judge it based on how good it is as a campaign it's mid-tier compared to most vidyas out there, and it's actively terrible as a sequel of either ME1 or ME2 if you view them as standalone games.

>>715629342
I judge it based on how good the shooting is because that's all the entire series is- shooting shit.

>>715629342
3 is a better sequel to ME1 than 2 is, even if 2 is a better game overall

>>715628086 (OP)
it takes 3 games where the best game is an 8/10 and the worst is a 4/10 (OG 3) and turns it into a 9 or 9.5/10 experience (with mods of course)
the lost potential of the franchise and knowing you're still getting some form of the old plot/ending is a huge bummer but it doesn't detract from the 100 hour experience leading up to it as much as you'd think

>>715628362
Nothing sadder than watching someone on youtube using the jacket for their Shepard.

This is the best we got?

2 is the better game in an overall failure of a trilogy, so that leaves me feeling like 2 was the best experience, followed by 1 because back in 1 you still have the illusion, and still a glimpse, into how the trilogy was shaping up before it immediately ruins itself.
3 is just frustrating on every level. It's a terrible sequel to the way ME2 pivots the trilogy and outright ignores most of its "plot", and it's still a stinky sequel to ME1 in that we already knew the Reapers ruined every civilization of all time, who tried everything against them, but still choose to make the whole plot about "saving Earth" for some stupid reason that makes no sense.

>>715630031
the hoodie itself is a hilarious costume
the idea that someone in the year 2185 would dress like a bum from 200 years ago is just high concept

>>715628086 (OP)
There are only 2 Mass Effect games, it's a shame they never made more.

>>715628086 (OP)
I just wish there were more games with this feeling.

>>715630217
2 started that with the collector fascination with humans and the human reaper
I still stand by the dark energy plot being more interesting and sci-fi related instead of the Gear of War tier final stand where a bunch of tiny people shoot guns at a giant intergalactic death machine
and don't even get me started on the fucking star child bullshit

>>715630217
>2 is the better game in an overall failure of a trilogy,
a lot of the trilogy's failures stem from the fact that 2 refused to actually be the second act of a trilogy about Reapers

>>715630217
The human reaper was a mistake. Even if we grant the premise, why wouldn't these retard space squids wouldn't employ the humans themselves to create for a better symmetry? What the fuck do the collectors have to do with anything?

>>715630707
I feel like 2 is too good to throw away entirely. It could be a fantastic first act to the second game. Or a great second game in a quadrilogy. The fact that you only get one mission where you get to use your squad is a crime, and I think it's one most people let slide because they assumed the third game would just be collector base type missions. Having replayed the trilogy for the nth time this year, I didn't take a break between 2 and 3 this time and the shift in tone is just bizarre. It feels depressing going from a full ship and high stakes back to tard wrangling with a skeleton crew. Then you're suddenly solving all these 1000 year old problems in the galaxy. It's just all over the place. But that problem is consistent across all games, besides 1 obviously because it's practically self contained.

>>715631363
you have a small penis and it will never satisfy a woman

>>715631598
Your mom would beg to differ.

In ME1, what was the point of Saren attacking Eden Prime to get the beacon to find the location of the Conduit?
If he didn't go rogue he wouldn't have needed the Conduit to go to the council chambers in the first place
Also how did he even know about the Conduit beforehand when he first needed the Thorian Cipher to interpret what the beacon's message was?

>>715630454
I have hopes for Owlcats Expanse game

>hoodies = bum
you probably where cargo shorts

You know what anon, you stick to your guns. I may not agree with you and find the series got progressively worse over time, but I think the fact you stick up for your ideas is neat.

you pay black men to fuck your wives

Game is boring basic bitch sci fi soap opera, go watch fucking babylon 5 or farscape or some shit even that trash is better

>>715629063
>>The game itself is 100+ GB because you have to get everything at once
iirc the language packs are like 30% of that

>>715633587
ME is a TNG themed dating sim
and there is nothing wrong with that

>>715633587
>>715633778
obviously Babylon 5 is better but Mass Effect is the best space opera video game to date

>>715633824
haven't watched babylon 5 but ME is obviously heavily "influenced" by that era of sci-fi and the TNG/DS9 crew dynamics are immediately obvious
Liara is literally just blue Dianna Troy

>>715634646
you should watch it, Babylon 5 is better than all of Star Trek

>>715628086 (OP)
but it's no Dark Souls

>>715635182
Dark Souls 2 and 3 suck, just like Mass Effect 2 and 3.
Mass Effect 2 fetuses, dont bother replying to me but kill yourselfs instead, thank you.

Anyone else never play the final mission of ME3 on their replays, or just me?

>>715634812
Okay Straczynski, it's time for your pills.

>>715635372
>dont bother replying to me
What now, tough guy?

>>715635520
I never play ME3 on my replays.

>>715635520
There's a mod that makes the Citadel DLC the real ending. You can "fix" priority: earth using a mod called Take Earth Back, then make the Citadel DLC your epilogue. Oh and there's a Happy Ending mod too, but I haven't tried that one.

>>715635625
it's good, really, I don't even like the guy but Babylon 5 somehow turned out amazing

>>715635796
I don't know if I'd call it better than Trek, but Babylon 5 is pretty fucking good. It takes a while to ramp up, but when it does, it's great sci-fi.

>>715635372
>yourselfs
Proof that ME2 haters are all brown.

>>715628086 (OP)
If youre into scifi and have read/watched a lot of it the world and lore feels insanely generic. Like a standard issue AI generated 'scifi world starter pack' I just find it incredibly dull. And people say it turns into gears of war at the third one but its already that in 2 and 1.

>>715636184
the dating sim is what sets it apart
no other game at the time let you romance aliens and watch aliens fighting over your cock/pussy
nothing mainstream anyway

>>715632307
Anyone?

>>715636184
There were literally no guns or chest high walls in 1. 2 invented both those things.

>>715636184
Nah Mass Effect lore cool

now Starfield, that's a sci-fi game with dull lore

Arkham is better.

2 is the only good mass effect

>>715628086 (OP)
lol, just lol. Not even close. This is a shameful humiliation of a series. Shamus was right and you need to play way more games if you think this garbage is the #1 series in all of gaming.

it looks cool and shepard was just being a hipster and probably hates modern fashion of the 2200s

>>715630212
that's just me3 sadly

a lot of the missions you're doing like intergalactic cia glowie shit for cerberus or the council
