In which way to you mean ? Wasn't Dante writing in verses only?

what people think ME is about: the extreme pussy-repellent thing non edgy gamer and bosanski are talking about

what it really is about:

 

[Non-Edgy Gamer]

You choose whether or not to save/kill off the Rachni

Means nothing to the end of ME1. It's just a flavor choice. There's no permanent effect like killing a character. And if you use that as your metric of a choice, ME2 still has a lot more of them.

you choose the Human councilor, etc.

Affects nothing. Again, choices and consequences. Punching the reporter vs not. Oh wow.

And yet it's portrayed better than in ME2. You seem to forget you're here defending ME2.

Again, this is just your opinion. Just like your opinion is that the Geth are somehow much worse in ME2, when they were just mech henchmen with flavor text from Tali in ME1.

What scenes stood out that were "interesting" in ME2?

Again, it's not scenes. It's the writing as a whole. I already explained why characters like Kaiden are boring garbage compared to Jack. Muh headaches vs human experimentation labs, prison transports etc. The storytelling in 2 is better in every way. That makes it a better cutscene CYOA game.

Chris L'oitelle or however you spell his name (think it was him) said in some blog posts how some higher ups thought it would be funny to make Legion a Shepard fanboy and all that despite the nature of the Geth. Again, another wasted opportunity.

Ultimately, you're at the mercy of whomever is creating your game. And the people creating it are Bioware.

That said, Legion was a Geth and Geth are just another sentient machine sci fi race. "Beep, boop. What is it like to be hu-man?" Yeah, not missing much by adding humor here.

It is a direct sequel, the massive retcon to the whole organization is by definition inconsistent. And the game railroads you into accepting anything that comes your way from them, even if you have a background directly related to them.

Cerberus is shady from the start, just as they were in the previous game. You do have the option of not trusting IM, just like you did with the Council in the first game, but just like the previous game, you can't just tell them to piss off and go do whatever you want. This is a Bioware game, not a roguelike.

Shepard has the understanding of being a Prothean, knows what's going on with the reapers, is a Spectre with resources, a ship, and a crew. 99.9% of the galaxy is unexplored, they could've done ANYTHING

Lol. ANYTHING, except it has to be related to the reapers, since they were the villain from the previous game and the expansion.

The reapers are a dumb villain. A boring villain. They make zombies and use mind control rays. They're also ships, so you have to figure out how to have the player fight them without making it a space combat game instead of an RPG.

They needed a twist to keep the game from being a rehash. That's all. I don't see why you're taking it so personally when the first game wasn't that good anyway, but clearly you think it was some kind of masterpiece in worldbuilding even though it had stupid, derivitive shit everywhere. Muh hermaphrodite blue aliens. Muh sentient machine race. Muh mind control rays.

the extreme pussy-repellent thing

This is the RPGCodex. There have been maybe 2 or 3 real women here in the entire 21-year history of the site. The rest are trannies and some of them are dead already.

There is no pussy here to repel.

 

[BosanskiSeljak]

Means nothing to the end of ME1. It's just a flavor choice. There's no permanent effect like killing a character. And if you use that as your metric of a choice, ME2 still has a lot more of them.

Again, ME1 was designed considering future installments in minds. It is not the games fault that ME2/3 did nothing with these choices.

Again, this is just your opinion. Just like your opinion is that the Geth are somehow much worse in ME2, when they were just mech henchmen with flavor text from Tali in ME1.

We are told how they work in ME1, and instead of expanding on that, ME2 makes the only Geth we encounter a Sheppard fanboy (should never happen, the writer is even against what they did in ME2) and ME3 turns them into Pinnochio "I wanna be a boy".

Again, it's not scenes. It's the writing as a whole. I already explained why characters like Kaiden are boring garbage compared to Jack. Muh headaches vs human experimentation labs, prison transports etc. The storytelling in 2 is better in every way. That makes it a better cutscene CYOA game.

ME2 is dozens of small disconnect soap operas stitched together like Frankensteins monster. That's not an opinion. So that makes it worse storytelling than ME1. ME2 had the easiest time to create interesting stories because they ignored making it connect go the main story and yet they still resorted to multiple daddy issue stories.

Jack does not belong in ME and definitely makes 0 sense being in the team. You can't just write random characters and force them into the game.

Ultimately, you're at the mercy of whomever is creating your game. And the people creating it are Bioware.

That said, Legion was a Geth and Geth are just another sentient machine sci fi race. "Beep, boop. What is it like to be hu-man?" Yeah, not missing much by skipping humor here.

They became that in ME2 onwards, not in ME1. As always, ME1 is not at fault for ME2/3 failures.

Cerberus is shady from the start, just as they were in the previous game. You do have the option of not trusting IM, just like you did with the Council in the first game, but just like the previous game, you can't just tell them to piss off and go do whatever you want. This is a Bioware game, not a roguelike.

The council and cerberus are not comparable, and the council is not part of a background of Sheppard. ME2s hardon for creating *cool* people overshadows a consistent story as always. Sheppard is a career special ops soldier no matter what, just the byproduct of being a preset character, but none of those have any relation to ever working with cerberus (except the contrived reasons in ME2)

They needed a twist to keep the game from being a rehash. That's all. I don't see why you're taking it so personally when the first game wasn't that good anyway, but clearly you think it was some kind of masterpiece in worldbuilding even though it had stupid, derivitive shit everywhere. Muh hermaphrodite blue aliens. Muh sentient machine race. Muh mind control rays.

No, I already explained how they don't need a rehash because ME1 set up multiple avenues for a brand new adventure, but none of them included contrived reasons for killing then immediately reviving sheppard because *he's an icon*. An 8 year old can see that's shit story telling.

For the last time, multiple stitched together disconnected soap operas like frankensteins monster is not better than a flawed yet consistent adventure.

 

[Non-Edgy Gamer]

Again, ME1 was designed considering future installments in minds. It is not the games fault that ME2/3 did nothing with these choices.

No, I mean within ME1 it didn't matter. You leave, just having released a plague upon the galaxy and...nothing happens.

We are told how they work in ME1, and instead of expanding on that, ME2 makes the only Geth we encounter a Sheppard fanboy (should never happen, the writer is even against what they did in ME2) and ME3 turns them into Pinnochio "I wanna be a boy".

I agree that 3 is garbage. As far as Legion in 2 goes, he was himself an anomaly. I really don't see one character as ruining the species, even accounting for him not being exactly one character per the lore.

ME2 is dozens of small disconnect soap operas stitched together like Frankensteins monster. That's not an opinion. So that makes it worse storytelling than ME1.

Characters do have some interjections and interactions. I wouldn't call it disconnected at all. And it's a lot better than "find the 4 mcguffins", which was already a rehash of KOTOR.

ME2 was more nonlinear, and that was a good thing. Maybe it felt disconnected to you, but it felt replayable to me.

multiple daddy issue stories

That's a fair critique, since even Grunt has daddy issues. And Thane has to help his son with his daddy issues.

But Mordin, Morinth, Zaeed and Garus don't. And Jack doesn't actually have a daddy to have issues with, despite your objections.

And Ashley in ME1 had daddy issues, which led to her serving. Liara had mommy issues. Wrex had his own coming of age crisis. The only difference is that two of these are part of the main quest.

Jack does not belong in ME and definitely makes 0 sense being in the team. You can't just write random characters and force them into the game.

She's not original, but she's not a human Ambien pill like Kaiden.

They became that in ME2 onwards, not in ME1.

Again, where were they some great sci fi race in 1? In some pdf file you find on a planet? In Tali giving some flavor text on them?

They were flashlight heads you shot on sight.

ME2s hardon for creating *cool* people overshadows a consistent story as always.

Good. Because being consistent with ME1 is being boring af.

Freaking Joker with his Mister Glass illness ripped straight out of Unbreakable with Samuel L Jackson. Give that man an AI to flirt with.

No, I already explained how they don't need a rehash because ME1 set up multiple avenues for a brand new adventure

You didn't explain any specifics. Give me two of these "avenues".

You and Bosanski are being real champs at this sport right now.

There's a sizeable subset of females who have a thing for autistic retards as long as they're not ugly (goes for everything).

Unfortunately talking about mass effect is not included there, it's the same as the geeks who obssess over Marvel shit just in video game world

 

[Non-Edgy Gamer]

Have you heard of pre-emptive pussy repelling?

Good. Kill all thots, trannies and their simps. Death to all women who try to join the RPGCodex boys club.

We have to worry about what cunts think in every other area of our lives. Why not get your mind off your pecker for 5 minutes and talk about some video games? Women won't see because they're not here.

ah yesss the virtual playgrounds for dick size comparisons

IDK, bro, I never compare my dick to anyone else's while playing a game. You do you though.

you want giggle-esque sessions about the worst games in history? Even mass effect 2 is better than what whores bring to the Codex (I.e. FF)

 

[BosanskiSeljak]

you want giggle-esque sessions

No, nigger. I just want to write whatever I want without half the room looking over their shoulder to make sure a whamen they might be able to simp for isn't judging them for it.

Look at the weekly shitstorms Meb and Theo brought to the dex. If a woman and a tranny can raise that many simps, they have no place here.

Off topic though.

I was replying to Islam, but i know you want to include the females you simp for any chance you get, ill allow it

 

[Non-Edgy Gamer]

I deleted it a minute after I posted it. Stupid reply alerts for quotes made me think it was a reply to me.

Off-topic anyway.

 

[Ismaul]

I was replying to Islam

Hey hey now. It was all fun and games but now you've gone and done it!

Anyways, I was just saying that dicksuction about video games is naught but a sophisticated way to measure dick sizes, to compare whose taste is the most prestigious. Our analysis, we like it deep.

To be fair, as soon as you're talking about which Mass Effect is least shit, you've already given up any pretense of prestigious taste and are simply trying to discern which poster has eaten so much garbage they've lost the ability to tell anymore.

Every time I try to replay this series I get to ME2 and encounter the Collectors and my brain turns off

One could say: To be fair, as soon as you're talking about video games, etc.

But when talking in an absolute sense, is there anything more prestigious than dick size comparisons, about the god-given tool by which we continue his divine creation?

Don't worry the developers did the same.

With the type of accent and such, I always figured she was some sort of nomadic space muslim.

Even Tali has daddy issues though.

Someone should really do a study on these writers' upbringings.

Why? That's definitely at least one SAN check.

I wonder how many posting in this thread work for Bioware.
