I love James but seriously he was so freaking wrong about the Mako its not even funny
also does this awnser your question (if you cant tell I think the Mako is a blight apon gaming and should be renamed "ME:drunk driving simulator" its even more pathetic when combat is ALOT easier and more rewarding to fight on foot instead of that damn thing)
What an appropriate title!
No. The physics for the vehicle is just off.Game_Fan_85 wrote...
Does the Mako actually adhere to the laws of gravity in the PC version? That was one of the many horrible aspects on the 360. It's a shame the 360 version ended up being a beta version of the game and they never tried to patch the PC improvements in later. They could at least have tried to fix the godawful performance problems.
That's not really fair. (Unless that's a picture of you falling off the cliff, in which case, you need to work on those driving skills!)Cuddlezarro wrote...

The plot worlds had invisible walls that kept you from traveling off the beaten paths. The MAKO didn't react well to them at all. It would always drive straight up and then flip out.
It's much more difficult to get her flipped on a UNC world.

Question: how does the Mako fit into this topic?
IIRC there was some bug where if your squad got in weird positions and you reentered it would start freaking out (you'd basically have to reload, since the thing would just roll around in space).Cuddlezarro wrote...
I dont see how getting in the mako and watching it just launch itself into orbit has anything to do with plotwalls since its happened to me on UNC worlds as well
Noveria? Good times!Cuddlezarro wrote...

it bounces as much as you would expect from a vehicle with 2 people shagging in it

Hahaha....wait. Scary thought seeing as my Mako always has 3 people in it which is always Shepard and a mixture of Kaidan, Garrus and Wrex.
Thank you. Now I have mental images of my Shep driving while Ash and Kaidan are...not just sitting... in the back. M.Game_Fan_85 wrote...

I've posted itmostly because of the first part "what squad memebers do first after exiting the Mako... throw up". M.Cuddlezarro wrote...
that lastcomic should have been "use immunity LOL at everything from geth snipers to thresher maws" (or just hid behind the mako since it acts as invincible cover)

When did this "most players don't romance anyone" claim/statistic/statement came from? Because I just saw stats Geoff got from Bioware for "Final Hours" app and it says there that over 70% of ME2 players who finished the game romanced someone

It came from when Chris Priestly got angry about all the romance topics on the Dragon Age 2 board prior to its release. He claimed only a minority do the romances, but still so many people make topics about the romances which then he said scares away people from buying the game.

Not sure if this has been answered yet, but:
70% of ME2 players who finished the game romanced someone, but only 50% of ME2 players actually finished the game.
Out of the *total* pool of ME2 players, it's quite possible that most players didn't actually romance anybody. I remember reading a statistic that said only half had done a romance, but now I can't find any evidence of that...erilben wrote...

Ah that reminds me what Vega said to my female Shep last night. According to him, Krogan males have pretty gene(?) or something. I guess Vega is gay for Krogan males. It's a good thing we don't have Grunt(he is better looking than other Krogans) in crew with him around. They can be second Tali/Garrus incident.

Also, for me, a Bioware game without romance options ain't a Bioware game.

I think I just did Samantha romance... if that creepy sex thing was her romance. No flirting, no mention of liking each other or any slightest pass... my female Shep watched her in what feels like a pervert old man then joined the shower... ouch. I feel for lesbian friends out there. It's horrible.

In my opinion, with Samantha Traynor Bioware created a nice addition to the Normandy crew.
The
choice for her VA had me excited about the character for weeks prior to
the game's release and Alix Wilton Reagan really delivered.
I
think it is rather cute how as lab technician Sam is trying to deal with
front line service and life aboard a military vessel and mastering the
challenges it presents her with.
She is focused on her work and isn't
shy about getting involved and speaking up, when she's got something to
contribute. It's great that she gets to make crucial contributions to
the war effort.
She is passionate and compassionate and trying her best at becoming a part of the crew both professional and personal.
I
like her playful nature, which expresses itself in the way she
generally speaks, her interest in chess and the ease and sublety with
which she flirts.
In all of that she appears very grounded and well-adjusted and she is self assured and knows what she wants.
It
is a pity however, that we get to talk to her so little about herself
and mostly just about professional stuff, which makes sense in a way,
with a terrible war going on and all, but the romance with her lacks a
bit of real development because of it. One or two cinematic convos more,
that gives her and Shepard the chance to grow close
emotionally would have been nice, because the whole shower offer comes a little bit out of the blue.
Also
the chance to run into her on the citadel like every other LI, Allers
aside, would have been much appreciated or at least in a different part
of the Normandy like one of the observation decks.
The basic idea
of the game night is great, though hugely flawed in its execution. As I
already mentioned, the development to that scene is pretty much
non-existent. There are a few hints about her attraction to women in
general, but not in terms of a personal attraction to Shepard and vice
versa.
In the same light a few more lines of more substantial
flirting would have been needed to make the shower offer not seem so,
errm, reminiscent of porn.
What I like about the shower scene is
that it uses Sam's struggle with her rather intense needs for personal
hygiene, established early with the tootbrush convo, in light of the
limited facilities in that regard aboard the ship and her open and
assertive personality to create an opportunity for them to get together
This
idea behind the scene is great. Two mature women establishing their
mutual attraction through a bit of flirting and simply going for what
they want. I love Sam's line "I needed that!"
However the actual presentation is lacking, especially visually and as said earlier in the number of words spoken.
It
also would have been nice for people, who don't want to go that fast to
have the opportunity to get sweaty playing chess first and then have
the shower
What I really love and what eventually made me look
past the flaws mentioned earlier and really enjoy the romance is the
scene before going after TIM. It is beautifully written and just made me
melt away and the performance by both Hale and Reagan is just awesome
and really something for their demo reel.
I have seen people say,
that it is unfair, that we don't get to talk to her over the
communicator prior to the final assault, but we already have the
"goodbye talk" aboard the Normandy and I am fine with that. It's a
really nice convo and rounds out the whole romance very nicely, the
bleak ending aside.
All in all I am very thankful for that romance, although, as I have pointed out a few things could have been done better.
Bioware hasn't discovered anything new. Cinema, novels and comic books knew that from centuries/decades. Bioware just actively translates this easy trick to get the audience invested even more intostory/characters to cRPG format. And they know what they're doing.Asperius wrote...
I think Romance is a great tool to make your characters more connected to players.

You don't have to buy him anything.
I got the comment without doing so.
Unless of course either me or you enountered yet another of endless ME3 bugs lol

Yes, the Samantha romance is flawed and begins a little awkward, but it's starting to annoy me, that it gets always reduced to the shower scene, because the later stages are really beautiful and hardly any other video game romance has felt so real to me in the end and words like "horrible" doesn't really do it justice.
I have written a larger post with my opinion about the character and romance the other day in the character support thread.
