ME2? No. That was definitely NOT what I would call a serious game. It's why it's my favorite of the series. That one can be played in such a ridiculous manner you can laugh your way through it. You can essentially play like Machete in a space ship. You can play the renegade with the heart of gold, or simply play the bad ass. The plot of the game is so ridiculous... well there really isn't any plot. It's funny in so many places. You can make Zaeed's mission serious and save the refinery workers, or a **** 'em mission. Kasumi's loyalty mission is totally ridiculous (and as femShep you can do the most ridiculous climb in the window in that stupid dress which no self-respecting woman would ever do -- it was the facepalm moment of the mission when I saw it) -- how many shot that priceless statue just for fun? The Suicide Mission? It was "The Dirty Dozen" made up of some of the worst misfits in the galaxy including Miranda (sorry Tabs, she is a misfit). 14 with the DLC. Give TIM the the Collector Base. Why not?
ME3? Seriously. I needed that kid out of my dreams. I needed a bottle of tequila in my desk, and some Mexican (weed) and Cuban (cigars) in my desk as well. Did someone complain about the alcohol in ME2? Or did Shepard now have to be all proper now being back in the Alliance? I would have preferred remaining a drunk. Now the game had its moments, like on Rannoch with the renegade interrupt after the reaper fight. It didn't have enough. There wasn't enough fun in the story. Not enough kicking ass and taking names. Your Galaxy Map said "you are holding steady and winning in key locations", and that was conventionally, but that was meaningless. Nothing meant anything.
The whole story was ridiculous. The reaper plotline was ridiculous. So how do you get out of a ridiculous plot line and end it? Actually I can see why Mac wanted out of this. I wouldn't want to write about the stupid reapers. He thought he had to do an Arnold Schwarzenegger ending to get out of it, and didn't want to, so he went Deus Ex. Hey Mac, next time just give in and go with the flow and get it over with. Be videogamey. Have fun. Laugh. Be a kid again.
He could have had some fun with it and made it totally over the top -- actually that would have involved the fleet coming in and seriously kicking some ass -- hey if you had > 6200 EMS they should have taken out ****load of reapers because your entire fleet was there, and it should have been a huge win on Earth. The reapers were spread out all over the galaxy. So Shepard gets to the Citadel pretty much without a scratch with his team, fights off a wave of reaper forces on the Citadel, takes out the trash, fires the completely undamaged Crucible killing all the reapers (no Starbrat, no damaged relays), gets picked up by a shuttle, lands on the beach, watches the sunrise, THE END. You earned it. End with some kick ass music, not overly banal sentimental piano music.
Of course if you had only 2000 EMS it won't end so nice (you get the piano music) and bye bye
. Of course in Nov. 2012 the game would have to get patched to Total Military Assets instead of EMS because MP is going to be pretty much "in recession."Alas I'm not sophisticated enough to appreciate Red Green and Blue, and the moral dilemmas and wastelands afterwards.
PS: you should have confronted TIM on Cronos Station, not on the Citadel.
Retour en haut
:lol:
That is better? OMFG! What has the world come to?
