Ok, How bout this?

Virmire Mission, ME1:
Why
didn't Saren just crush Shepard's throat when he was holding him in the
air on Virmire? Instead of "I think I'll stare dramatically for 5
seconds, then get distracted by an alarm and let Shep punch me and break
free. Herp Derp!"

Cinematic Effect. This isn't real life people. Suspension of disbelief.


AGREED, finally someone gets it.

People are just looking for things to complain about because they don't want to like the post-EC ending.

Harby shooting at guys charging is the obvious answer... ya know... there were quite a few running at the beam... Posted Image


if only we could convince our own brains the game was good!!!



The game is good it is your fault that you refuse to see it because you are stuck in your old ways.


if only i could get past my old ways!!!

ARGH.

Yep.

Haters are either deaf or very very stupid.


This is Mass Effect 3 forum, huh ? 

You guys... realy ... I will complain about Mass Effect 1 on Mass Effect 3 forum ... go and make a thread about stupidity...
Otherwise Mass Effect 3 is easy to hate after so many mistakes and EC bring most dumb explanation ever how crew end on Normandy, they rather should left it as it was...

That's rather subjective. How good the game is to someone is directly proportional to how much bull**** said someone is willing to accept before their suspension of disbelief is broken.

ITT: People not knowing how IFF works.

It's not a cloaking device people, it just says "HAI! Imma Reaper!" which works for about 10 seconds until a Reaper actually checks to see if it is a Reaper. When they find out the Normandy is not actually a Reaper, the Normandy becomes swiss cheese.

The game is full of handwaves and not giving a care for choices, and it's good?!

Harbinger is the only one, seeing how the Rannoch Reaper also shoots at them, as well as the Reapers following you on the galaxy map.

You must have missed the Tuchanka and Rannoch arcs or even missed the citadel coup.  Or sanctuary, the ardat yakshi monestary, oh hell you must have missed the entire game.

How come they don't try to save anyone else laying about? Karma is rude mistress eh Shep. You had the Normandy come in to save one person, didn't even bother looking to see if anyone else needed an evac, just left them to die alone, just like Shep will after destroying the reapers.

Well crap, my post was interpreted wrong.  I love ME3, and I love the Evac Scene.  (Liara Goodbye = :(:(:crying::crying:)

With the Virmire reference, I was just trying to point out that you can pick holes in just about any dramatic scene, but i choose to suspend disbelief for the sake of enjoyment and immersion. [/quote]

The Citadel Coup wasn't all that great, nor the monestary.

Besides, a few missions does not a great game make.

You said that choices don't matter and choices from past games have an affect on all those missions.  You just are a poor judge of what is good

Infinity +1 Plot Armor.

Reaper IFF.

Harby's lazors were recharging.

Harby failed a spot check.

Catalyst told Harby to let Shepard win.

Duck Sauce.



Pick any one. They all work. Posted Image

And I think Harbinger did let the the Normandy go. Shoot for the tanks and choppers heading towards the beam, not the ship traveling away from it. That seems like basic logic to me.

Harbinger wasn't shooting at anything and he was looking dead at the Normandy

Well they don't. You still get a replacement to do those missions. Having your choices REALLY matter would be, like, not being able to do those missions. Like Grunt's.

I know what good is, ME3 isn't it, especially when they touted things that were blantantly false.

The stealth drive works on the Reapers too. That's why the reapers didn't shoot it down in the beginning of the game. When you scan for the mission crap that sends out a flare telling them where you are.

It's just plot convenience.

If it's that narrative breaking for you, then just tell yourself that Harby was simply more focused on the Hammer forces who are approaching the beam.


This. Such things happen throughout the series. Why didn't Saren destroy the beakon on eden prime himself? He had enough firepower to destroy a colony, Instead he laid lame bombs so that shepard can defuse them and screw his plan. Why did Harbinger leave only a weakass collector ship (which dies in one shot) and some oculii to protect his super-secret reaper factory? Why did we have to leave the normandy before the collector attack? where were we going? We are never told.

So what are your credintials in determining what is good?  Since you seem to act like your verdict is fact

He wasn´t even shooting for awhile ... otherwise I would like to shoot big ship first which would ignite whole battlefield in front of beam rather than shooting every single little ant-soldier...

Oh do they? I didn't realize Morinth shows up instead of Samara and the mission plays out differently. Wait, she didn't, and it doesn't. At least if Legion's dead the Rannoch mission is tota.... wait, they just have a Legion VI and everything else is exactly the same. But hey, at least the Rachni queen matt... wait, they found another one.

I know, I know, the ending to the 2nd game, the biggest decision of all, whether we destroy the collector base; that matters. Wait, it totally doesn't. I don't think it's even mentioned, actually. But the ending of the first game mattered though, right? Wait no, we dismissed that claim as well.

What, exactly, mattered again? Outside of a few character swaps nearly all the missions play out exactly the same. Sure some dialogue is a little different, and maybe you can't save a character here or there, but that's hardly grounds for praise.

For like 3 seconds then figured it wasn't worth it.
