Morgaine: On the one hand, hot. Only EDI is missing for this to be Traynor's ultimate fantasy.
On the other, CloneShep reminds me of the dumbest plot in Mass Effect ever. Yes even dumber than starkid. I'm conflicted :o
chickenboo: Dumbest plot in Mass Effect ever? Hrm. I'd say all our choices in all three games culminating in a "pick a colour" ending is the dumbest plot choice in the whole Mass Effect series.
Morgaine: Look I'm probably the person who most hates RGB, but outright stealing the whole plot from The Adventures of Pluto Nash ranks as the dumbest plot in any Bioware game, let alone Mass Effect.
chickenboo: @Morgaine: 'Tis a good thing that it wasn't a serious plotline, then, wasn't it? :P
I mean...Shepard mows down several squads of mercenaries with a single gun, unarmored, falls through the giant fish tank, destroys a restaurant, discovers a giant plot on his/her life, and solves it all while joking about it the entire time? Perhaps it was an homage to The Adventures of Pluto Nash, hmm?
Anonymous1: @chickenboo: That directly relates to why I think the Mass Effect games get progressively worse. They start to take the, admittedly mediocre, overall plot of the Reaper invasion so seriously while treating the details with playful flippancy. The third game feel all over the place thematically because of this.
The best part of ME, the first one anyway, was the fact that it piled and melted down all these different sci-fi tropes, plots and influences into one coherent story that tried, or at least seemed, to inject a bit of hardness into the details. It sacrificed specializing perfection into any of its facets to present a well-rounded, "jack of all trades, master of none" ode to popular science fiction.
The second people started taking things with overwhelming degrees of seriousness is the moment it started to slide downward. It became a grimdark war story peppered with shallow jokes by the end instead of a grand space opera that knew when and how to play itself seriously or not.
Anonymous3: @Morgaine Hold on there! Adventures of Pluto Nash was an emotional roller-coaster from start to finish. An epic tale of adventure and self-discovery in the face of modernity and one mans desperate attempt to make sense of who he is, and his place in this changing society. Sure, there are some laughs along the way, but just like life, those laughs are thinly veiled acts of emotion from a man who knows only this way to express his internal turmoil.
Pluto Nash, never forget.
Anonymous4: @Anonymous: seriously you are saying ME 1 is best? when i play the first game i do my best to FINISH IT AS FAST AS I CAN just so i get stuff like conrad verner into ME 2 and 3 then when i played ME 2 i believed that was the best and i could play it all the time but now ME 2 is almost just like ME 1 the only good thing is the shaddow broker dlc but i always play ME 3 day and night i get all dlc for it i replay the game again and again never get bored but now when my tv is broken i never got the latest dlc and i want to kill myself because i WANT it so bad and i miss playing mass effect 3 i have not been able to play it in 2-3 months.
Anonymous5: Umm Is anyone else remembering that this is a porno page? Not the place to argue about Mass Effect. So, with all due respect shut the fuck up and fap or go somewhere else.
Anonymous6: @Anonymous: I know that you like a porn and happening handjob on your dick while become fingered and fucked into your butt <3 and you take all what cam cumming in yours butt! <3
