I always see posts bashing the writing of ME1,2 and 3. Granted there are plot holes, but c'mon guys. The BioWare writing staff is miles ahead of most developers.

Epic Games is better at writing an internally consistent setting, and just as good at writing interesting characters. Gears of War as a trilogy does a far better job at storytelling than Mass Effect does.

HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAAH! HAHAHAHAHAH! Oh boy. The Gears games are GOOD! Really good games. But saying that the story and characters = good.. Seriously. 

I know a lot of Gears fans who really were into the plot...

It's an okay plot, but the characters are awful and the lore is extremely inconsistent. Ranking GOW with the guys behind Assassins Creed, Deus Ex and Mass Effect is silly.

Seriously, dude. People like it. You have a hard time accepting differing opinions, aye?

I mean I find it incredible that people like Twilight, but apparently there is enough of them to warrant making all the books into movies. 

True story.

Exactly. The ME writing has it's faults, but compared to pretty much every single other game out there, it's really, REALLY, good! Just go back and play something like Gears of War after having played the ME games. Maybe that'll make you appreciate the ME writing a bit more.

What about playing The Witcher games. Do you want to tell me these games are worse from a story perspective? The Witcher 2 has two completely different naratives dependend on how you chose.

Please, Gears may be pretty basic plot wise, but at least it had a happy, yet bittersweet ending that ME should've had.

The Gears 3 ending was unbelieveably cringe worthy. "We finally have a tomorrow!" uuuggghh  SO bad.

Certainly better then the original "Galactic Dark Age" ending that took 6 months to fix.  Besides, I never played Gears for story, I played for pure manly testosterone reasons, helps that females played a bigger role in GoW3.  Just saying.  Lol.

...Really?

Oh you know

90% of the games I played were on these other gamertags that I didn't make because for some reason I don't make accounts to play on because I am weird that way so I was not fully committed to those games as it was not furthering my own progress.

An account is easy to make.
You must be very young or very naive.

"pretty much every single game". Not all.

So you never cared about the story then. That doesn't really help your argument.

I've played on shared accounts, so not all of it will be there. I'll just name off of memory.

You already lost me there.
But please continue to say stuff that makes no sense.

I got my account a year ago. I've been playing Xbox 360 games for three years. Not all the games I've played will be on my account. Make sense now?

Something tells me you're lying.
Not least for how stupid this story sounds.

That's not as far-fetched as it sounds. I could say the same thing since I don't have the same gamertag I used to.

How exactly don't you have it?
I had 1 gamertag for 2 years and then I left it and got a new gamertag I had for 4 years, I still have the two accounts.

Mass Effect 1 had a great overarching plot with an excellent twist, but very subpar side content. Mass Effect 2 was the opposite - the overarching plot was assembled from swiss cheese and styrofoam furniture, but the team building missions and the cast of characters were some of the best you'll ever see. Mass Effect 3 captured the feel of the Reaper war perfectly, balanced the personal and the epic parts of the series quite well and had a quite cool 'chain of deals' story going in the first two acts.

It's just my opinion though, no need to go spreading it around.

So we are judging peoples worthiness to an opinion based on what bioware games they have registered? Ok well take me see the games I have registered well these are the games I have played.

Baldur's Gate - Complete
Baldur's Gate 2 - Complete
Icewind Dale 1/2 - Not complete
Planescape torment - Complete - about 5 times.
Neverwinter Nights - Complete
NWN2 - Complete
Mass effect 1 - Complete - About 4 Times
Mass effect 2 - Complete - about 6 Times
Mass effect 3 - Completed Twice.

Have we learned our lesson yet? And hey even if this where a reliable look at what games people have played you don't have the right to lord it over someone just cos they didn't play other bioware games.

I fail to see how refusing to make an account because it wouldn't be permanently yours is naive.

How won't it be permanently yours?
You can move accounts from place to place you know.




How couldn't you recover your account?

I got my Xbox a year ago. Up until then I played on my friends Xbox because I liked playing video games, he wanted to show me some cool games, I kicked it there everyday and I couldn't afford one. I got a job and bought my own Xbox so I could have my own games and saves. Plus, mooching off your friend just isn't cool.

You sound poor.

Yeah, it is getting ridiculous at this point. "I has played more ArPeeGee's than you, therefore I am right".
Oh, and PS:T, NWN2 and IWD aren't Bioware games, but I guess you already knew that. Just pointing out.

I'm starting to see why you only have 1 "friend" here.

Friend's on the internet?
You myst be trolling, I don't befriend people and I think people befriending other people are worthless and not worth my time, why would I bother sending anyone a friend request on any site.
But hey if someone sends me  a request then I will accept it.

I loved both ME1 and 2, but ME3 really felt sloppy and rushed to me.
They made last part in the trilogy in about the same time as they did ME2 with about the same amount of developers, yet ME3 has to combine everything from from ME1 and ME2, in terms of choices. All of them must matter, you name it. They could've done so much with Shepard Origin and his deeds in the military for example.
Also, for whatever reason, they decided that ME3 is a great way to start the trilogy -.-
If anything, ME2 is a great start for the new audience, not ME3.

Having a plot that has 2 different paths could've been great for ME3(joining Cerberus for example). That, however wasn't all that neccesary, but could;ve increased the replayability a lot.

Also, so much this:

- The intro
- Pandering to new players
- Kai Leng
- The Empire of Cerberus
- Evil Udina
- TIM becoming a grade A moron
- Misuse of Harbinger
- Misuse of ME2 characters
- Misuse of the Rachni
- Kai Leng
- The concept and execution of the Crucible
- In fact, virtually everything except Rannoch, Tuchanka and maybe Sanctuary.

Note the quotations. I figured "friend" might mean something different for you here.

It doesn't mean anything for me.
