Or misuse apostrophes.

You do know what a contraction is?  Right?

 

I'd take the time to explain it to you, if you don't.

 

Nevermind...saw your clarification.

This one seems to bounce around some weird places. Some of the people who are most adamant that the romance options don't have any kind of negative impact on the game are also the ones raging about how the way some romances were handled "ruined" their experience.

 

I'd be happy if they only included romances that worked really well on all levels, rather than to fulfill a requisite quota based on gender/sexuality. In the former, they would, indeed, be optional content that has very little negative impact. That would be great. In the latter, they have romances with strong storylines, and others that are propped up and much weaker, included to fulfill the quota.

 

There isn't an ideal solution. Removing them entirely is not ideal (although I would be fine with it.) What they do now is not ideal (although its negative impact on me is limited, unless I'm unfortunate enough to pick a weaker storyline before I realize that it isn't going to play out so well.) While including the strong ones and cutting weaker ones early would probably be the best of the solutions, they have chosen to stick with the quota system. In all honesty, they have legitimate political reasons to do so, even if I disagree with those reasons.

 

But in any case, the word "troll" is being thrown around towards people on the basis of what their opinion is, which is ridiculous. A troll is someone whose only goal is to upset people. Someone having a different opinion than you isn't "attacking" you, or trolling you. Relying on crying "troll" every time you hear something you don't like is weak.

The Mods should just change 90% of the thread titles her to "F#CK EVERYONE ELSE, BIOWARE, MAKE THE GAME ACCORDING TO MY PERSONAL TASTES, EVEN IF THAT'S A BAD CHOICE FINANCIALLY, BIOWARE PLS".

 

it would certainly cut down on the amount of duplicate threads.

Those planets knew the risks that I might one day be too busy embracing eternity to save them.

 

Other reasons for my not saving them happen to include some other planet offering better loot, I found something on the planet that made me want to nuke it from orbit, or because I destroyed the planet trying to win a bar bet.

 

In either case, at this point we should all know that romances are going to happen regardless of people on the forums asking for them to not.

Honestly, I approve of the idea of no romances. And not because I want BW to redirect resources to another sector in their studio, but mostly because BW romances are losing their touch. This fandom becomes crazier and crazier as their games go (and I'm talking crazy beyond the usual levels). The Miranda thread had to be closed due to how toxic it became. 

 

Maybe we should have a new game with no romances to allow for a more sober experience. Maybe, just maybe, we should have a game more heavily focused on the story, rather then go around looking for people to bang in the quarters. Cause it's hard to take BW seriously anymore when their high point is based of how weird is the alien you get to take to bed.

I could ask why you play Bioware games if you don't want any romances.

Now, that´s a bit much.

 

ME an DA were no dating games. Romances were a small part.

[MaxCrushmore]

^Because the gameplay itself is awesome.

 

Also, I have probably spent about 100 hours total on the SP campaigns in ME, ME2 and ME3. But the MP portion (without romance) has occupied me for well over 1500 hours.

 

So yeah

Really?

 

I tried once. Was promptly killed and never dared coming back because of the shame.

You know... come to think of it... if ME 1, 2, and 3 had no Romance options whatsoever the ending of 3 wouldn't be that much controversial since most people got hooked so much with their virtual love lifes. Just sayin

You mean you never hit on the Fury?

 

For shame.

Wow, now romances are being blamed for the **** show that was ME3's original ending?  Wow.

[JAMiAM]

I think Max's tastes run more toward Phantoms.  Sleeping with the enemy, and all that...

[The Arbiter]

Calm your ****** it is only my opinion

Romances caused the extended cut  you know.

Personally I prefer that my sword is the one doing the penetrating, not the other way around.

No, he ment feelings are to blame for the shitstorm.

 

Many hoped for a happy ending, riding into the sunset, building a house on Rannoch, that kind of stuff, you know. People were involved.

 

But don´t let us start this. We both know it attracts the sharks.

[CrutchCricket]

It's not entirely wrong. No waifus means no attachment or at least no attachment on this scale, which means when confronted with that atrocity, most people would probably just frown, shrug and throw the game away. As it is, I think most people did anyway. People who ****** on here are a minority after all.

 

ME's (and Bioware's really) strength has always been characters you care about drawing you into the world. Romancing them is just an extension of that.

 

I think Max's tastes run more toward Phantoms.  Sleeping with the enemy, and all that...

 

Not my thing but...

Everyone starts out like that. Multiplayer is challenging (which is the reason it has so much re playability). You are depriving yourself of much fun by not trying again.

 

If you go to the multiplayer forum and ask for some help or pointers you will have lots of people offer to help. Everyone needs to start somewhere.

 

One of the biggest problems some people have is the pre-set difficulty is Platinum (which boggles the mind). As a staring MP player, you really want to begin on Bronze until you get a feel for the map layouts, ammo boxes, etc. Especially considering you are starting with nerf guns which do noting above Bronze.

You could choose in all 3 Mass Effect games not to get into a relationship OR have sexual relations with them.  With that said:  I expect the same in ME:A

 

QFT 100%.

 

If you don't like the romance options, then don't bother with them. Why is that so hard for some people to understand? 

[The Arbiter]

Romances caused the extended cut you know.

Yeh here's my experience...my very first playthrough was Jane no romance since ME1 when I got to the ending of ME 3 it did not really have an impact on me... it was more of a mission accomplished moment for me since I chose destroy and most imlortantly everyone I cared about has their love ones... except the synthetics because Bioware just had to kill them, but they can be rebuilt.


Now second Playthrough with John romanced Tali.... got to the endin of 3 despite knowing the outcome I felt devastated leaving Tali... I wanted more answers... closures... to the point of wanting an official canon ending.

This is my opinion on why it became so controversial. I still pick Jane plauthrough no romance more fun and satisfying though

The sign of being a good lover is how much you please your mate, and she sure seems to be enjoying the reach around.

MP is pretty daunting. The difficulty is balanced in a very different way from SP, and the way enemies spawn is different, as well. Without some acclimatization, there is a lot more death than in SP.

 

Actually, even after you figure out what you're doing, there is still a lot more death than in SP. Most people will get through most SP missions without dying. That won't happen in your average MP game.

 

But there are rewards. The community is actually very good. It has its nasty people, like any other, but posting, "I always die in MP and need help" in the MP forums will get you a lot of offers and advice, even given how small the community is compared to what it used to be. Pretty much anything you need to know can be asked, and you'll get good answers. Just make sure to assume the people saying "L2P" when you ask are joking, because 95% of the time, they are.

Wow, now romances are being blamed for the **** show that was ME3's original ending?  Wow.

I know what they meant, but I still disagree.  They were referring to the feelings of those that had romanced the characters adding to the outcry, but I'm not sure if that's the case.

 

I thought the destroyed relays (no matter what you did) and the Starbrat were to blame.  I know that having romances didn't help, but you could ignore all the romances and still get ticked off at the Starbrat and pre-EC stuff.  I was prepared for the Starbrat, I have the EC ending and that hologram was still major BS.  I was yelling at my screen the entire time.  I think George Carlin would have been proud of some of the creative cussing I was doing. 

 

I don't think that the feelings from those romances would have made things any worse.  From what I saw, it's been mostly folks infuriated over the complete negation of choice in pre-EC (at least EC restored a little bit of the illusion of choice mattering in the game,) with a much smaller group wishing they could have ridden off into the sunset with their LI.
