Hassat Hunter Posted May 8, 2011 Share Posted May 8, 2011 The fact that most opponents are going to be husk variants shouldn't exactly be a surprise at this stage, and I'm not sure what the problem even is. Right, husks. When I read that I was more thinking mechanized foes. And went... WHAT? ^ I agree that that is such a stupid idiotic pathetic garbage hateful retarded scumbag evil satanic nazi like term ever created. At least top 5.

Ice9 Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 Yeah, the Cerberus' intentions thing seems a little odd. But I'm sure I'll get some explanation that will mollify me when I'm playing the game only to reemerge when I'm done and reflecting upon it. Everything was beautiful. Nothing hurt.

Enoch Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 Maybe they got taken over by some Reaper mind control thing. Yeah. My 'why not' guess explanation: TIM has always been on the side of the Reapers. But the Reapers aren't monolithic. The Reaper handling the Collectors was part of a splinter group, going off the reservation with their "human reaper" experiments. TIM, allied with the main horde, was working towards the same goal via a different path-- making Shep into badass zombie cyborg. That he could test this badass zombie cyborg by using it to capture/destroy the work of a rival Reaper faction was a nice bonus. There is, as I see it, a certain similarity between both the Collectors' and Cerberus' pre-ME2 activities (sampling different weird galactic species and experimenting on them, etc.).

Ah yes, makes sense. It's the faction that wants to build bigger and bigger reapers versus the faction that wants to build small, flexible Sheperd sized reapers. He is the 'prototype' without knowing it, getting pitted against the evolutionary dinosaurs of Reaperdom.

Seriously. I don't want to play action-Sims. Oh come on, it's like 3 % of the released info, if even that. For some reason gamers (and other people on the boards who don't deserve that moniker) just make a fuss out of it, probably just so that they could complain about it. Out of my ME2 game time, roughly 0,45 % was spent on romances. You're a cheery wee bugger, Nep. Have I ever said that? Reapercussions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So far the only things I've heard about ME3 are that you can shoot stuff, it will be more streamlined for the mass (but with more rpg in it) and that you can bang even more stuff now.

Wow, it took them 2 games to make him gay. I gotta commend them on their self control, as i'm sure that the Phoenix armor was scrapped from an earlier gayer design and they are only making Shepard as the writers intended on the first place. Really BW is taking this gay friendly thing a bit too far. I'd say the answer to that question is kind of like the answer to "who's the sucker in this poker game?"* *If you can't tell, it's you.

I could even play the devil's advocate and say that the straight-friendly content went too far already. P.S. : Not surprised that people didn't complain when FemShep was lesbian.

Raithe Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 Hm, and I don't know if this has been picked up on, but in a gameinformer podcast q&a about ME3 they mention that characters can start at the maxed out level 30 (if they ended ME2 at that level) and it proceeds from there. So no reset to powerlessness. Skills will be increased in length, and the "alternate" options for skill ranks will happen multiple times. Ah, and the whole "human reaper" thing, isn't that bizarre. The logic is.. all reapers have something like that (in the form of some race they've blatted) as the "core" being, inside the shipshell we all know and recognise ala Sovereign / Harbringer. Heh, so now there's some in-game-logic (so to speak) of the weirdness that was that. "Cuius testiculos habeas, habeas cardia et cerebellum."

Options in a role playing game?! Go back under your bridge, troll! I hope they take advantage of this to create a more clear friendship path with teammates, getting into multiple "hell hath no fury" situations by just being nice to girls seems too much like real life.

WorstUsernameEver Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 BioWare needs to just stop doing this crap. You mean romances? That would be a deal breaker for a sizeable part of their public, the part that is too ashamed to play dating sims (or wants them to have compelling action-y gameplay).
