You don't know how computers work do you? Does deleteing files on your HDD make your computer run slower?

On the ship before the nuke destroyed them. It's a big ship and forerunner techy is built to LAST. Would be simple to create a hardlight shield and then use the slipspace tech or teleportation tech to move the chief to a safe distance.

Synthesis is still full of crazy and stupid and exists.

I'm sorry. But your saying that cortana, in a fraction of a second, was able to protect MC the moment the bomb went off with out him losing a limb?

Your missing the fact here that no tech would be fast enough to protect him in a point blank blast  of a nuke. Sorry, you can't explain it no matter how you try.




Except for ya know...the speed of light...its called hardlight...soooo it can travel around the earth 7 times in a single second. I'd say its fast enough. Physics and all that.

By the way your ignorance is showing again

Idiotic article is idiotic. Simple game mechanics should not define a genre on their own because I am.sorry to say then that ME3 is much more of a plain TPS than it is an RPG and you can play the ENTIRETY of Skyrim in first person but that does not make it an FPS.....nor do game mechanics make B:AC a platformer with combat.

But whatever, ME 3 does NOT deserve GOTY by a LONG stretch

He never said "just because". He made a clear point. Halo 4 combat is no different then Halo 1's and offer nothing new. If you can't see that as a fault then all you'll get is thesame game over and over agein.


Right because ME's combat improved from ME2 ? Nope.


 
It just moved more toward arcade action TPS rather than deepening the RPG mechanics and class differentiation.


 
Also what happens to the chief in halo 4 cam be explained within the known lore of the universe you just could not be bothered to pay attention

no....ME3's combat is definitely better than ME2. Whereas ME2 is clunkier than ever, ME3 is way more smooth and fluid. It's better by far. And if you're going to blame a game for turning Mass Effect into a TPS and forgetting its RPG roots, well I hate to break it to you but that all started with ME2.

ME2 is a complete disconnect from the type of game that ME1 was. ME3 just built upon the unfortunate changes that ME2 added to the series.

By the way, I know the Halo lore, and I've read the novels. Because of those things Halo 4 is a fantastic story. However, somebody who has only ever played the games (and hasn't read the books), would be completely and utterly lost when it comes to the Didact, Librarian, Forerunner/Human war, and most importantly the significance of "the Mantle".


I know this is the case, because I played through Co-Op campaign on legendary. With the same friends I've played through every Halo campaign with.....and they were completely lost 3/4's through Halo 4. Luckily for me I read the books. I loved the Halo 4 story. But I'm sure I would be left wanting and wondering, had I not read the books. I had to fill in the blanks for my friends.

ME3 fits within the series lore as well.

right....synthesys TOOOOOTALLY makes sense within the lore and the reapers motivations are just peachy. Sure Halo 4 might need digging to understand completely but by the gods ME3 was just freaking broken if put into the context of the other 2 games

yeah "Synthesis". You know, what Saren was referring too. The Reapers motivations seem pretty typical of an unstoppable mysterious force within the sci fi genre.

except they are neither in ME3

I'm not getting what you're saying.

We already seen it work a billion time in Halo. That hard light build doesnot come up in fractions of a second.

Sorry, but it's clear it takes time to make light solid.

It does it you deleting core parts of the os prossesing...In more cases stop it from working. Cortan is not deleating mine sweep out of her system. She is deviding and deleating herself. That's call a lobotamy.

But these are not core parts. These are parts that are thinking about non-critical (Survive, help John) things. Yes, it would be bad if she survived, but it would not make her run slower.

A great man once said

"The way I see it, every life is a pile of good things and bad things. The good things don't always soften the bad things, but vice versa the bad things don't always spoil the good things and make them unimportant. And we definitely added to his pile of good things"

Regardless about some peoples inability to stop bursting a blood vessel in their eye, I still think Mass Effect 3 is the best game so far, and if you asked me I'd probably say its my favourite game. No other game has kept me playing it so often and for so long (apart from WoW).

I agree with the article, in case you can't tell.

Point. Seems they aren't in union.
Reminds me of another thing though: Reapers are horrors from space - Reapers are reduced to tools like a rake or broom that just happen to be weapons of mass destruction in thier own right.

Did you not take the time to notice that Mirada's father helped with that with his money and howcerberus tricked and brain washed people to fight for them?

However, Anderson is simply a character. Why change that unless BioWare wanted to make our choice, the time where it can MEAN SOMETHING... pointless?

EMS does not count as being connected. The stroy implications are the same. This is BS. TIM should've never gotten that tech. Ever. But no, choice rendered mute.

As soon as we see James. "Hey Commander. I told you not to call me that. *Other talky stuff I don't quite remember*" They know each other, but I don't know who the hell that guy is.

Doesn't have to be a choice for thier to be a disconnect The drastic shift in the mysteriousness of the Reapers motives is a disconnect.

Again, a disconnect.

I doubt Miranda's father could fund an HUGE army and navy without anyone noticing. Building that many ships in 6 months would require a force of nature to finish. Does it matter to the plot? Nope.

But other Charater ation don't revole around the player. Remeber, he was clear he HATED the job.

And how wouldn't TIM not getthe tech. Thebomb blew up the base, but not to atoms. We blew up sovergin and we were able to salvage his remains and gettech out of it. Why does it not make sense with the collector base.


"As soon as we see James. "Hey Commander. I told you not to call me that. *Other talky stuff I don't quite remember*" They know each other, but I don't know who the hell that guy is."
That not them being friends...That just James showing Shepard respect. Any soldier would do that. Even the VS did that in the opening.

"EMS does not count as being connected. "
I'm not talking about ems.So kill/sparing Wrex in ME1 and destroying/saving the cure has no effect in ME3? Telling the quarian what talis Father didor not telling and giving  or not giving Legion to cerberus has no effecti n ME3 ether? Nor doesTali's life in general? Or kirrahe and Thane's life?

It was clear that he knew Udina would be a terrible choice.

He would not step down to let Udina take his place.

UNLESS: Anderson is the rat. He is indoctrinated.

You mean, except for the fact that he's standing on it in the final cutscene, I can see space through the semi-transparent light, Cortana appeared through both the hard light bridge and the bubble (if she didn't use it, then why waste the energy on surrounding MC with it?), which doesn't have an internal projector other than the light to show her on and that there was nothing else that could have saved him, except for the ring teleporter they were out of reach of?

I think I have a little more than you do.

At least it makes more sense than ME3's original POS of an ending.

Squadmates teleporting to the Normandy and Shepard sacrificing himself for no good reason just because some dumb kid told him to! Characters reduced to nothing but lame cameos! The journey is somehow better than the destination, even though the destination renders the journey utterly pointless! No answers to what happens after because some people had to bathe in their artistic integrity rather than focus that kind of energy on writing something likable!
Shepard being able to defeat the Reapers only because their leader lets him for a very vague reason instead of trying to fix the problem!

Truly, this is the game of the year!

Still makes player choice irrelevant.

Well, let's see. Soveriegn was destroyed, but had fiar sized chunks. The Collector Base, was destroyed, next to a black hole, and the Omega 4 relay only lets certain ships that have the correct IFF's in. Now we know the IFF's major component is the actual device, that TIM never had, nor would he in my playthrough since I gave him the finger. No way in hell would he be able to get any of that. And again, making player choice irrelevant.

It is more than that. Plus the fact he has zero introduction is annoying.

Wrex dies, other takes over. Krogan don't go on a rampage across the galaxy, act the same.
No cure, Eve dies, Krogan still don't go on rampage.
Telling what Tali's father did probably spells death for Tali, which leads to some actual consequences. Woo.
Nothing becomes of Legion, but his absence leads to the same thing Tali's death does. So two, woo.
Kirrahe was only ever a side mention and a boost to EMS, hardly a consequence.
Thane's death like that was pointless anyway, so...
