    Mass effect Trilogy

    in Computer and Console

    Posted

    There are very few complaints about, say, Mordin or Legion dying precisely because their situations were set up well across multiple games with the main themes introduced in ME1 and expanded upon in ME2 leading to a fulfilling ending to the storylines in ME3.

    *insert trend bucking here*

     

    I was ok with Mordin. He went out well, and we'd gotten to know him fairly well. However LEGION I was kind of pissed about. Not because he died, but because we basically didn't get to interact with him all that much. He shows up on one mission, then you have just enough time to get his loyalty up and do that before you end the game in ME2. And ME3 has him pop up only as a non-squaddie who WILL die (in one form or another). Legion is, overall, my favorite character, and showing my bias I am annoyed that he gets so little screen time... especially in comparison to Tali. I don't mind that he went out overall... it's just that in comparison to MANY of the other characters in 2 and 3, he wasn't allowed to visit with the players nearly as much as any other squad member in the game.

    I was okay with Legion at first. But it's one of those "until you sit down and start thinking about it" scenarios. Which probably would not have happened if the ending wasn't terrible.

     

    Legion's death doesn't make any sense. I don't even know how to explain it to rebuke it. It just fails me fundamentally. And his entire character is a 180 from the Mass Effect 2 presentation.

    We will make our own way without any shortcuts from the old machines (ME2)... unless they're really cool (ME3)

    All must be judged on their own merits. Treating every species like one's own is racist. Even benign anthropomorphism.(ME2) I want to be a real individual. (ME3) And I think one of the reasons I will forever refuse to play the Extended Cut is EDI's "Now I am alive" line for that version of synthesis. What was she before?

     

    He was a bit of a fan favorite and it's sad he didn't get a better part.

     

    re: rebuking legion's death: it makes no sense because the geth are software, and are therefore made of code, that can be copied. legion therefore requiring "personality dissemination" is nonsensical to anyone with half a smidgeon of programming knowledge. It was done purely for emotional impact, and on that note, it worked (it was the only moment in the game that brought me close to tears, mainly due to the sheer magnitude of all the combined happenings in the scene), but logically it is a fail of galactic proportions.

     

    also, vega was cool and gorth is a heretic for not being garrus' bro, but i totally agree with the allers dislike. al-jilani on board the normandy would have been hilarious, though.

    if there were no health risks associated with it, i would eat flesh cultured from my own cells, just so i know how i taste.

     

    Never licked your fingers or bit your tongue?

     

    I find myself rather tasteless :)

     

    Edit: Even if the blood adds a bit of salty flavour to me

     

    i actually like the taste of my own blood quite a bit. it's rather sweet, interestingly.

    as i said, i was just playing :p

     

    also, the shankle is made of win. if i ever got any of his merchandise, it'd probably be the posters. shankle's posters are awesome and would make epic additions to any gym, so maybe when/if i get a home gym.

    while i doubt that's an actual serious post, i'll play :D

     

    What's the point in working out, if God can give you unbelievable strength in any moment of your life?

    i haven't cut my hair in over half a decade and the samson effect still hasn't kicked in. i'll go with the weights.

     

    You'll never rip a lion's mouth apart without the spirit of God, divinely empowering you. So why work out?

     

    false.

     

    You people really wanna impress females with your muscles? Is that the point? Cause if it is, you're nothing more different than whores who seek to wear the best makeup/dresses, for the sole reason to impress their prey.

     

    no, i do it for fun. few things make me feel as alive as powering through a set of high-rep squats. and if it weren't because i am a rabid anti-theist, the first thing i'd think when i lie on the ground catching my breath is "god, take this barbell and stick it up your ass for giving me growth hormone deficiency". which is incidentally one of the other reasons i exercise, although i was unlucky in that i didn't discover lifting until way too late and am stuck being 5 feet tall.

     

    Trust me brothers, I'm 27 (Gonna be 28 soon), I know what I'm talking about, I've been there, I've done this & I highly regret it. Don't waste God's patience and infinite mercy on such absurd things. Instead of working out, you should start fasting.

    Why do you enjoy RPG?

    in Computer and Console

    i am essentially an immersion junkie, and i find that RPGs (well done ones, in any case) tend to lend themselves superbly to immersion. i also enjoy the management aspects in a lot of games, particularly RPG and strategy games, and there's a pretty big escapism element in there, basically inherent to the immersion angle. a well-crafted RPG is essentially an interactive story, so i'd say i like them for the same reasons i like fiction novels and movies, combined with the interactivity element. and if they're intellectually stimulating as well, all the better (planescape: torment cemented in me the interest in philosophy that i built by plaing sid meier's alpha centauri, for example).

    bought two new pairs of socks, that are somewhat longer than i prefer my socks to be, so i have started the long and arduous quest to shorten them, in the process nearly ruining one of the pairs and temporarily misplacing a sewing needle.

    went to the gym, had a coughing fit in the middle of a set of squats, then went to an anime convention and saw someone wearing a mai shiranui cosplay without any underwear underneath. predictably, she was soon surrounded by a flock of men.

    discovered that an overwhelming majority of the entry course students at my uni got extremely low grades in the latest test, not just me, to the point where several people, a teacher included, actually suspected there might be foul play involved. this is getting interesting.

    re: drinking and chocolate: i have never drunk alcohol, and if i have things my way i never plan to, but i am addicted to chocolate milk. @ladycrimson: something you might want to try: invert the ratio of milk to powdered chocolate. the resulting chocolate "pudding", to be either eaten with a spoon or poured into/on top of appropriate stuff, is what the gods eat when they're being naughty.

     

    re: what i did today: woke up, found out i done goofed on my latest exam for the uni entry course, decided to make up for it by absolutely massacring my current subject (philosophy), then i watched some videos, worked out a bit, argued on the internet and started devising a damage system from scratch out of sheer boredom. might be worth actually trying to do something with it once i get it finished.
