the ME3 ending choices which are 1. needless sacrifice (Control), 2. galaxy wide rape as answer to a problem that already got solved (Synthesis), 3. blow everything up and kick civilisation partly back to the stone age (Destroy) or 4. throw away every single achievement from all 3 games and leave the decision to the next cycle (shoot the star brat in the face).

 

I'm sorry, I briefly thought you said there were choices (plural) at the end of ME3.

 

Glad to see I was mistaken and you shot that snot-nosed deus ex machina kid right in his kisser, like all right-thinking people.

I've played with almost everyone of notable skill in the past two years. None of the used FQE unless it was a joke.

Seriously. That said... my statement isn't all that absurd.

 

Complete and utter bullshit. This is a pure troll argument and you don't even deserve a proper response for that.

[Razerath]

Xbox is really all that matters. PS3 always was a graveyard by comparison and I can never take cheating PC users seriously.

And yes, hundreds of fantastic players. Not just BSN.

Not you Quarian. I said almost all. I'm not joking.

[Teabaggin Krogan]

I would advice you to get it and try it. It's by far the best game in the series, in my opinion. Most will agree it's far superior to ME3 anyway. And, as of a couple of years ago when I first played it, it wasn't too outdated to enjoy it, at all. Personal opinions of course, but I don't think it will cost you much to try it out. You might be surprised though

I have played both me2 and 3 but never tried the original as it wasn't on ps3 at first and later on I got too lazy to try it especially since they added those comics to the game where you can make key decisions..you really think it's worth all the extra time?
Also loool at all the bragging in a Co op game!
Edit: damn this thread is fast,I think I got my answer!

[Razerath]

Daemion, I am trolling now it's not a secret. Not even trying to hide it.

But I am also serious.

Seriously trolling.

Well, that can't be true, since I can name quite a few well-known BSNers who use the FQE often and extremely well (one of whom just started playing Warframe as I typed this... xD)

 

Legion of Rannoch and Grim_AoD (I could easily name others, but I'll stick with people who aren't on the boards anymore) used them all the time, and neither of them would be outscored very often, regardless of the circumstances.

 

While I'm not one o' 'dem Spectre-elite players, The FQE is still one of my stronger kits in Gold, and I'll usually perform pretty well while PuGing with her.

Sometimes you run into a player with 100k+ CP who uses a Fury with a Striker and dies every 20sec and you simply accept that.

 

That was me! You like my kit?

[Deerber]

Woah, you play on all 4 platforms?

Ninja'd!

ME2 was much better. The story made more sense and the gameplay was better. Matter of taste though. ME was more space opera themed and gave you a specific road to take till the end. ME2 felt more free and more... fluid, because you didn't have to spend half an hour on each planet just to find a rusty medal.

As you said, it's personal opinion. I enjoyed ME1 more than the second, although there are certainly things that the second does better than the first. Actually, I feel that ME1 story made *much* more sense than ME2's. ME2 felt great up until... Say, half. Then the leading writer change fucked it all up, and the story started to drift towards ME3's nonsense. Human reaper? Oh for ****'s sake...

It's a lot of fun. The shooting mechanics are rough at best, and you will spend about as much time in menus dealing with speccing and equipment as you do playing the game if you haven't done it before. The Mako sections are also completely tedious, but the story and characters are great. Garrus is actually a believable disgruntled cop instead of space Punisher, Tali is a spunky kid instead of waifu material, Wrex needs no explanation, Ashley hadn't had plastic surgery yet, Liara isn't space Mary Sue etc, Kaiden is still pretty lame and actually gets better in 3.

Also, it has the most Krogan to fight of all 3 games, and they are the most fun enemies.

Yes, I do. Although knowing the story beforehand might take a toll from the pleasure you'd get from the game.

Still, if you ask me, ME1 is still the only true ME game, where your choices actually matter. So I'd say yes.

[Chealec]

If it was me that bailed last night, I'd just like to say.

 

First laggy Cerberus PUG (GiP) I put up with - left as soon as we got back to the lobby.

 

2nd PuG was another laggy Cerberus game where I somehow got magnet-synched by a Phantom - so next round I just lobbed all my rockets and bailed.

 

3rd PuG was another laggy Cerberus game so as soon as Smehur sent me an invite I got the hell outta Dodge!

 

 

 

So, if I'm in your game and I bail, it's probably because it was a s****y, laggy, Cerberus piece of crap - nothing to do with N7/CP ratings

Read the boxed in section. The outcomes of the things I mention each grant you a certain number of "points" toward the peace outcome and you have to have 5 in total to unlock it.

If you are pure paragon, you probably didn't destroy the heretics in Legion's LM, which means you have to get all the other points to succeed. The Legion/Tali argument is particularly difficult to resolve ( you basically have to be full boy scout or dick-tater in your morality) and easily failed, so that's probably where you went wrong.

[Razerath]

Almost all Geek... I remember them from posting on BSN but not because of their skill.

I could name several players of great skill that not many BSNrs would recall now because...they played instead posting like we are today.

Do you know Drummernate? Seajay? Red Love X?

Yes, that is exactly right .. I didn't destroy the heretic Geth .. that would explain it

Although, I should probably add that I come from a background of being a hardcore RPG gamer, and I never cared much for shooters before ME. This probably biases my opinion in some way, and you should take that into consideration if you come from a shooter background, teabagging_krogan

[MaxCrushmore]

Depends on how you define powerful. If you're soloing, then yeah. If you're playing in a full team of competent players, then you will be at a disadvantage against some other setups, like GIs and Drell. Cause with no enemy on the map lasting more than 5 secs, instant damage >> dot, no matter how big the latter is.

 

I believe you are underestimating the instant damage that kit does. It's the Carnage triggered FE's and follow up incendiary Reegar (yes, even on PS3) that melts stuff pretty much instantly, as well as doing supplemental (and not insignificant) AOE damage.

 

Edit: Obviously map / enemy combo plays a significant role in these comparisons. For example, on Glacier vs Reapers, this will match almost any kit in the game for damage output

[SterlingPhoenix]

I'm late to the party but I'll give you my opinion.

 

Sometimes the high CP is a... bit of a burden. There's a reason I don't use the BotB banner, too. Same thing. I feel like people expect you to friggin rock the entire world.

 

And sometimes I just want to play a fun non-highscoring kit, and I feel like I can't just do that in a PUG.

 

So I tend to play with friends, people I've known and been playing with for ages. Preferably people with a microphone, too!

 

Sometimes I'll hop in with a PUG, but I can usually only play a game or two with them, unless it ends up being a really good team. And even then, I'll dump 'em if friends show up. But I will usually send a "Good game!" message to people.

 

Another thing is I like playing with people who are better than me, or at least can give me a run for my money. One of the reasons I like playing with Quarian Master Race (shoutout!) is that I can play my weak characters, and I can play when I'm tired and in Stormtrooper-mode, and I can just have fun and not worry about who outscores who, or who locks who in what, or who blows up which enemy on anyone else.

Well I do love my shooters but as far as RPGs go,I'm pretty medieval...in fact my favourite RPG is probably Dark souls,so I don't think that's gonna be an issue.
Anyway thanks,I'll be giving it a shot .

[Razerath]

Sterling, I share those opinions. They are all great. Especially liking to play with better players. It gets me motivated to get beyond my current skill level.

Otherwise I am usually stuck mostly carrying match after match. Sadly people that good don't appear in my lobbies. I get the good players, only running 20ish k behind but they all like to bounce lobbies or just quit. I'm not lucky.

Btw, Minnesota? Awesome.

Everyone else I hope that was enough entertainment. Time for work all night.

Until next time... GT is Razerath if anyone doesn't mind fast paced Claymore slaughter. Maybe BSNrs will play more than one game.

Then the leading writer change fucked it all up, and the story started to drift towards ME3's nonsense. Human reaper? Oh for ****'s sake...

 

Yeah, that's true.

 

It's just that ME's story makes no sense starting from the first mission. Even leaving aside that Sovereign and Saren could have ended the entire conflict before Shepard even arrived on the scene you run into logical errors.

The Normandy was doing a milk run while testing their stealth systems and was supposed to pick up the Prothean Beacon on Eden Prime and bring it back to the Citadel to be studied. During this mission Nihlus was supposed to evalute Shephard to see if they are Spectre material. Soooo... no one knew that Sovereign and the Geth were on Eden Prime, so what exactly did Nihlus want to evaluate? The Normandy lands, Shepard signs a form while the crew loads the beacon into the ship, then says good bye to Ashley and then they fly back to the Citadel. There would have been no action, no engagement, not even time for a training exercise.

 

After being made a Spectre (without anyone on the Citadel checking your credentials) you're presented with 3 main missions: Get Liara, Geth Attack on Feros and Geth Sightings on Noveria. Ehm. Geth. In Citadel space (or close to it, in the case of Noveria). And no one does anything about it? That's like having a confirmed attack by IS terrorists in Alaska and sending in your newest FBI agent, solo. Unbelieveable.

 

There was no reason for Saren to have the cloning facility on Virmire. There was no reason for Sovereign to use the Geth as attack force. And there really was no reason whatsoever to find the Conduit, which made Saren's attack on Eden Prime pointless, too. Why go looking for a backdoor if you can use the front door just as well?

 

Sometimes you get these stories because the writer(s) didn't take the perspectives of other characters into account. The ME story only works (kinda) from a protagonist viewpoint. The moment you place yourself in the position of the villain you realize that Saren as the top Spectre could easily have walked right into the Council chambers at night, fixed the damage the Protheans did 50.000 years ago and then allowed Sovereign to signal the Reapers. Boom, game over. And that was possible -years- before Shepard even became a topic.

 

And let's not get into the nonsense they call ship design. Or why Joker is doing every single job but engineer on both versions of the Normandy, despite there being at least a dozen crew members.

 

Or weapon design. No ammo... but thermal clips. Suuuuure. That's why the Typhoon is ejecting bullet cases. And the Falcon creates mini grenades out of pure energy.

 

Anyway... I don't want to deconstruct my favourite games... but each of them had their flaws. They were still more than worth their money and I spent a lot of time with them. Really good games. They could have been better though.
