Iun Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 Not making people happy is one thing actually no closure whatsoever and a really stupid "The Citadel was built to enable the cycle and it's all controlled by a little AI" was just bullshit. BULL. SHIT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iun Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 the little ai kid isn't real.... Precisely! The cake is a lie! I expected a twist - like Shepard was being controlled all along, or some other crap. But after destroying the Reapers, we deserved a sense of closure, not this half-assed shit. The Quarian fleet, that just reclaimed their homeworld, is never going to make it home, all of the fleets are pretty much stranded in the Local Cluster. What the hell...

As I've said before this is ending an millenium long cycle of cycles, this can't be without it repercussions. I think the lose of the mass relays is a good enough price to pay. In my mind there is no doubt at some point there will be a game set sometime in the future dealing with the make up the galaxy post ME2. The Quarians can slowly make their way home and whose to say at some the Mass Relay network can't be reassembled. Me and @Mike1988uk will be discussing this and more in next weeks 30 Minute Gamers podcast! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also think people were kidding themselves this was ever going to completely end....they were always gonna try and sell us some sort of DLC.

Iun Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 DLC is fine, it could slot in before certain missions. There was DLC for the previous game, but there was still a sense of finality even as things moved on to the events of the 3rd game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darkjak Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 (edited) The thing is... It needed to end. This feels like there's still a story to tell. And this was supposed to be final. Somehow, I believe the ending turned out the way it did to make sure it'll be the end. I think they tried to close all doors so that EA couldn't force them to do anything. I personally don't think it NEEDS to end. Of course, you can't make games with the Reapers acting as antagonists forever. But when the Bond movies had over-used SPECTRE, they got rid of that organisation and had different ones. Edited March 26, 2012 by darkjak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daft Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 Okay, so I'm about half way through. If I look at the Galaxy Readyness thing in the war room the green bar is at about 3/4 full. If I get the whole bar green does that mean I have the max galaxy readyness. Because I cannot be arsed to play the stupid online crap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnus Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 Yes. Except... There's an extra five-second scene at the end if you have an EMS of 4,000 (or 5,000 depending on your decisions, I think). You won't be able to get that without playing multiplayer. That said, you can only get it in one ending and it's really not worth the effort. I wouldn't bother.

Daft Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 I've played like 5 or 6 multiplayer matches. But as long as I just fill up that green bar, I'm good, is what you're saying? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ViPeR Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 Oi! I invested a lot of time and emotion into that game to get what was no more than a half-assed ... What? I can't even say cop-out. It was not an ending. It was the video game equivalent of the transition between Aliens and Alien 3. You know all that character development and love you put into it...? ...hahaha! It wasn't worth shit, ner ner ner! This. I'm curious if the same people who say they like the ending and to stop 'whining' are the same that have been invested since ME1....

Iun Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 This. I'm curious if the same people who say they like the ending and to stop 'whining' are the same that have been invested since ME1.... In fairness, I only started at ME2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ellmeister Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 All these damn spoilers are annoying! Can't wait to retrospectively read through the old posts to see what you lot are saying. I'm actually enjoying multiplayer a lot for some reason. It hasn't gotten repetitive for me. I've done all the N7 missions successfully to get the achievement which was surprising since I didn't know I had to do that. As for single player, Wrex is hilarious, especially with DLC character.

Daft Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 Jacob's mission was so dull. Only real low point of the game at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimbob Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 Jacob's mission was so dull. Only real low point of the game at the moment. Comparing it to the N7 missions, yes it was crap. Comparing it to a few other missions, it ranks in the lower 5 of missions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darkjak Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 Is it just me, or have Bioware overused the whole "Shephard falls off/nearly falls off of stuff" thing in their cutscenes? What do you have to do to make Ashley join your team? She just stood outside the Normandy and said she doesen't want to when I played through. I really wanna know, as I've started over the whole series and I'm now romancing her (Tali on my first playthrough). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really wanna know, as I've started over the whole series and I'm now romancing her (Tali on my first playthrough). She joined me after Priority: Citadel. Didn't really do anything special - just talked to her whenever possible like I did all other characters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cube Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 What are N7 missions? The N7 missions are the random ones you get with little plot. They take place on the multiplayer maps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sméagol Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 I think I read on the wiki you need a high enough paragon bar to get her back. I had no problems in doin so.. She seems to be skeptical of you for working with Cerberus in ME2, but that skepticism disappeared quickly in my game. Did you visit her in the hospital, and were you being nice in general?

Shorty Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 (edited) The renegade side is stupid... You can only make all the worst decisions and the galaxy ends off worse off for it You lose the Krogans and Wrex for the sake of the Salarians, who join you in the end anyway. If renegade options are going to take away from some assets, they should offer you more in other places... Edited March 29, 2012 by Shorty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
