Mass Effect series.

Tuchanka is supposed to be so dangerous that the Krogan are among the less powerful compared to **** like thresher maws. It does still follow earth logic in a loose sense.

humans are weaker than bears but we form tribes and clans

Good thing they didn't evolve on Earth or it would be a very boring game setting.

Curing the genephage was clearly a plot hook to set up the Krogan as antagonists for a future game. They are a great enemy. You don't feel bad for killing them and they have large hit boxes.

saying something completely ******** like these giant high calorie consuming animals produce 1000 eggs per year after thousands of years of being the dominant species on their homeworld and not numbering in the septillions is ********. being ******** is not an excuse for being ********

I don’t recall the Krogan ever being described as the dominant species on their planet. I think it’s supposed to be cartoonishly dangerous, Catachan levels where they have access to nuclear weapons but still rely on high rate of reproduction to survive.

your suggesting the species that built cities, large scale infrastructure, obtained an understanding of science, and waged nuclear war was not the dominant species? any species that has time to carve statues and build superhighways is probably not worried about day to day survival or the predation of fishdogs

Given all the facts together? Yeah.

Using very advanced technology that took countless people to research, develop, and manufacture, yeah.

I remember a time when I would be absolutely ecstatic for a sequel in Mass Effect games. Now I feel deep sadness and feel like the kid in old teller in just wanting put it out of its misery.

its hard to tell when you people are being ******** on purpose and when its genuine

3 had a lot of gay in it, much more than 1 and 2 combined
also i just finished 3 and it was ******* stupid, why did joker have no reaction in the end cutscene to EDI getting zapped to death? also also why did they ruin mordin's death by having an orangutan child dream sequence immediately after?

You're not supposed to do the ending, dummy.

option one : do what the liar machine that built the machines that have the main ability of lying and manipulating people says and just let it kill you and it will 100% totally let you control it with your ghost or something
option two : turn everything into gross meat robot abominations that will probably commit mass suicide after
option three : win (sorry legion and EDI the only two sentient sapient machines)

"just don't play the game or pay attention to any of its details" - guy who thinks loghain was right

Still not sure how this works or what it implies. Don't forget the 4th ending they patched in after the negative feedback.

[Big Red Dog]

did you spoiler these posts out of embarrassment or something

[Lhynn]

I've never played ME which one should I play (I do not give a **** about playing the whole series so just tell me the best one)

ME aren't really stand-alone games. Playing just one game would be like watching just one season of a TV show.

Either play all 3, or skip the entire series.

Completely disagree. Play the first game, then forget any sequel was ever made. The story was left incomplete, open to interpretation.

You jest but that really is how it feels. ME1 leaves off on Shepherd being given a mandate to find a way to beat the reapers. Then ME2 is a side story that basically has nothing to do with them whilst the reaper threat is once again dismissed (for some reason) and then in ME3 other people just suddenly find the solution on Mars (lol).

[Brother Michael]

All this talk about the plot is really missing what people like these games for, which is the crew members. The plot had its highlights, particularly in 1 with the Reaper hints and the first conversation with Sovereign, but interacting with the companions was the main draw for me. The aliens were all interesting and memorable, and most of the humans were at least passable. ME3 had notable stumbles in this area with the introduction of Biff Meatjaw, his Latinx butt buddy, and Kamala Harris.

The only characters I found to be likeable were Garrus and Wrex.

[Vergil]

Crew member*
Every conversation that's not with Garrus is just a way to pass the time until more Garrus.

You'd be gay with Garrus if the game let you.

You deny nothing, then.

A missed opportunity, this series. I don't remember playing 3, only the controversy about it. I forgot what was 2 and 3. Should have ended in space feudalism and a draw with the Reapers.

Honestly looking back ME 3 ending was the least of its issues (gameplay, story, characters, dialogue) was a noticeable downgrade. However the moments where it shined were really good especially some overarching story arcs for certain romances and non romantic character developments.

Turian biology will kill humans you cannot be gay with Garrus it's a physical impossibility. Do you need me to deny having 8 arms and a Venus fly trap for a head too?

[Irenaeus]

A missed opportunity, this series.

They should rewrite everything from Sauren's betrayal to the ******** council meeting in the beginning, let alone Reapers or whatever comes after in the sequels.
