Are you still mad, user?

Are you still mad, user?

I'm still mad

I'll always be mad as fuark. Fuck those lying hacks and everything with their name on it. Fuck their journalist butt bodies for turning on the players. Fuck nu-BioWare. Fuck EA.

Yes, but I never actually played it myself. After the terrible abortion that was Dragon Age 2, I told myself I would never again play a Bioware game.

>launched the game for the first time those years ago
>first thing i noticed is that i can't holster my weapon anymore
It all went downhill from there.

>ME1+2
>First thing the game does after showing Shepard is opening the Dialogue wheel

>ME3
>Shepard goes on for 5 minutes before the dialogue wheel appears, you only get 2 options instead of 3

WHAT HAPPENED TO THE TRIAL YOU PROMISED US IN 2 YOU FUCKING HACKS

Not even mad about the ending. Just mad at how shit the writing in this series has gotten since ME1.

>entitled gamers demand holster
>entitled gamers demand a quest log
>entitled gamers demand closure without an anti-climactic ending
>entitled gamers demand a satisfactory reaper backstory without purchasing the Leviathan DLC

What a bunch of wusses. This is why video games aren't art.

>AHHHHHHH AFTER TEN THOUSAND YEARS I'M FREE. TIME TO CONQUER EARTH

...

>This isn't really a new thing - way back in 2012 I named Annie Wilkes the Patron Saint of Fandom after the childish, ridiculous uproar over the ending of Mass Effect 3. What I couldn't have known in 2012 was that the Mass Effect uprising was just a preview of the main event; that tantrum happened under the auspices of being a 'consumer revolt,' which would be the same kind of language behind which terrorist hate group GamerGate still hides. And in the years since Mass Effect 3 it seems as if the crazy has been ramping up, and as the wall dividing creators and fans gets ever thinner with each new social media platform the number of voices being raised has grown.

From an article I saw this morning. This narrative is still being pushed today.

1/10 apply yourself

Forever mad.

>Shepard, the Collectors escaped, recruit a team of specialists with attitude.

>article

...

You're right, it was more akin to a weird, rambling tirade.

...

>replaying ME2 right before the release of a third
>getting all hyped at the ending cutscene

The worst part of it that the fans handed them the perfect DLC ending on a platter, they'd even pay for it.

Thought i was the only one disapointed with this.

I expected a full 30 minute something prologue on earth before shit went down, where you would recap events from ME and ME2, and have to defend every action you took so far.

Even when the beta leaked and showed nothing like that i defended it by saying it was still incomplete.

I will forever be mad.

If I'm not mistaken, the DLC has never been on sale on Origin to this day.

Between ME2 and 3, the series has several DLC's integral to the plot, they are not just "extras".

Fuck EAWare will a loaded rocket launcher.

...

>play Mass Effect
>Love it

>Play Mass Effect 2
>Find it pretty bad
>Shadow Broker DLC was pretty good though

>Play Mass Effect 3
>Find it pretty bad
>Citadel DLC is pretty fun though

It wouldn't hurt so much if there wasn't clearly people on the team who still cared.

If I ever find out I have a terminal illness, I'm going to bomb EA.

FUCK

I dropped it before leaving the first mission, I am mad but nowhere near as mad as I would be if I played through that piece of shit

But dragon age 2 was a good game you delusional fuck

the worst thing about franchise is how hard they pushed Liara and how greatly her personality changed from nerdy scientist to professional information broker

always relevant

BIOWARE FOREVER

They're not even on the Trilogy, aren't they?

Mass Effect 3 was great.

Robo waifu was best waifu, meatbags need not apply

Always and forever.

I was never mad because I knew to drop this series at 2.
Thank god I never played or even looked forward to the 3rd game.

epik meme XDDD
screenshotted and uploading to /r/Sup Forums RIGHT NOW hahahaha
nice rare pepes btw
*upvotes*

>Kaidan is suddenly a faggot
>Ashley became 99% botox
>Tali goes full retard
>Javik is DLC and does nothing but bitch and moan
>EDI is suddenly a sexbot though that's not too bad
>Gristle McThornbody needed a movie to be interesting

Of course not. Also see:

Been mad since 2

Ashley's transformation from a soldier girl to some ugly botox abomination was the most horrifying thing.

Dragon Age 2 was quite literally, the worst game I have ever paid money for. There is no possibility that you are serious. There are no positives to this game.

Nope. I didn't play it after how badly they butchered Mass Effect 2. Glad I didn't, because in retrospect it looks like I absolutely made the right decision to let ME1 stand alone in my memory.

Forever and always. I love this series and I can't even replay it because the ending hurts too much. I'm not even hyped for Andromeda.

>we've had a good run

I knew how hard they fucked it up before going through 3.
I took matters into my own hands and told the Catalyst to go fuck himself.

Reapers win, fuck it.
Didn't matter. According to the epilogue kid, "That's why we have peace."

>all decisions are useless in the end
>you just chose the colour of the screen before the credits roll
I'll still be mad in 20 years.

>andromeda isn't a reskinned space dandy where you do jack shit instead of saving the universe

God I loved this series and I still feel utterly betrayed by the ending.

Halo 2 had a better ending compared with ME3

Andromeda will be DAI in space.
The thought alone horrifies me.

>terrorist hate group GamerGate
Goobergators confirmed worse than ISIS

Do you even understand how hard it is to create a game? Dragon age 2 was the fucking shit because it was completely original in story making and gameplay, and at the time it came out reveiwers chewed it out because they have such high standards,like women.

I'm still mad that you were never able to fight against volus, elcor or hanar. And no epic space battles

i've never had a game kill my desire to replay two of my all time favorite games at once, so yes i'm still mad

This, didn't even bother playing 3 after how terrible 2 was.

>reviewers
>high standards

Femhawke x Isabela is really qt.

Apart from that, yeah, it's pretty much complete shit.

Didn't buy ME3 because I got sufficiently burnt by Dragon Age 2.

Of any recent games I can recall Dragon age 2 and Guild Wars 2 are those that I well and truly hate.

Torrent it, it's not that bad.

What's even worse is how they treated her compared to Liara

>Liara with you since beginning of game
>Ashley gets straight destroyed...lol sorry she won't be with you for half the game
>hey Ash is back.........
>5 dialogue lines on the ship before she passes out on the floor and you can't do shit

>meanwhile Liara has all new dialogue every fucking single time you talk to her

Like come on at least make all the LI's have the same amount of screen time you fucking faggots

Me3 is still worth a playthrough. If you go into not expecting some awesome series encapsulating ending it still has some bright spots.

>iwillneverstopbeingmad.pasta

Mass Effect as an entire IP was so amazing to me it was the only series i cared about anymore for video games. I actually sat there till the end of the credits after ME1..hell I still play it on Thanksgiving as a tradition but fuck Bioware for what they did to this series.

I stopped at the FoB..THAT was my ending fuck that shit. Like you I could care less about Andromeda .

The great this is Bioware went after the CoD audience saying "Hey you can join in at 3! No worries!" Then you see the stats and like not even half the player base finished 3.

>Walk up to an explosive canister and kill yourself along with everyone with bionic or cybernetic implants, possibly billions more through the destruction of hospitals and spaceships/stations
>This doesn't even fucking solve the Reapers problem of people making robots later.

>Become the supreme machine overlord of the galaxy, slaving millions of hivemind beings to your will
>The only way to prevent the Reaper's problem is the institute a police state were technological development is heavily monitored.

>Force EVERYTHING in the galaxy against their will to become some kind of organic machine monstrosity
>THIS STILL DOESN'T FUCKING STOP THEM FROM MAKING ROBOTS LATER ON.

The most insulting part was when the kid said there wasn't enough time to find a better solution. THE ONLY REASON WE HAVE A TIME LIMIT IS BECAUSE YOUR REAPERS ARE MURDERING EVERYONE JUST TELL THEM TO FUCK OFF.

Shepherd holding the line long enough for Liara to seed the galaxy with databases was the only "good ending". We were too wrapped up in ourselves to prepare for what was to come, but maybe the next cycle could.

As a plus, you could say that the next cycle began to clone and reproduce humans and asari so that those races could exist again. Hey look, I just made a plot hook for Mass Effect 4!

Yes

Yeah I might if it goes on sale for some piddly ass sum. I just never bother to check origin all that often.

ME2 was alright but I think a great part of ME1 being charming and engaging was the fact that it wasn't so big-box-office AAA product. At least I don't remember it being so - I remember it being a bioware game for the Xbox360 and I'd think only its success really catapulted it ahead the way a KOTOR or Jade Empire didn't manage to.

I'm not hyped for Andromeda, do not expect anything good to come of it, doubt anything will, but I will give them the consideration that I will actually look at it and consider it after it releases to decide if it's worth it. I won't just dismiss it entirely out of hand.'

Mad that they continued to ruin gaming with this choose-your-own-adventure pseudo-RPG shit gameplay fuckery for THREE goddamn games?

You fucking bet I am.

Thats because it was a whole different group of people writing it.

Pretty much fan fiction at that point.

>Oh it's the Geth/Council
>The Geth/Council have fucked up the Quarians/Krogan and their homeworld
>now we need their forces so it's time to make amends
>Oh no a reaper is there to stop us better use the Fleet/thresher maw to kill it
>now a member of the Geth/Council who is close to you must sacrifice themselves to bring peace between the two factions.

FUCK

>completely original in story making and gameplay
please stop

I thought most of the characters/story in DA2 was ok. The revolting things about that game are the horrible armor/weapon designs and the fact that the whole game is in Kirkwall and that shitty beach.

Man all of Mass Effect 3 and the shit surrounding it was really fucked
At least Inquisition was a step in the right direction, maybe Andromeda will be good

That multiplayer tho

Yes. And the worst part is the gameplay is so good, and the art is so good, and the Citadel DLC is so good.

It's a really good game, it's just a terrible, abysmal, failed Mass Effect.

>Citadel
>all those cringy, """quirky""" comedic dialogues
>that fucking missed opportunity of having your clone join you
>good
yeah nah, only the party/apartment banter parts were good

That multiplayer was good yeah. Pretty much exactly what I expected.

Sentinel Master Race

Drell adept
Fucking walking arterially
Having that dope semi auto raptor sniper too

I am absolutely livid

WHO THE FUCK ATE MY CEREALS?

Always

Mass effect 3 was already a mediocre game without the endings

>You actually get to be in a relationship with whoever you picked in the last game instead of doing the usual Conquest of Fucking
>The entire genophage conclusion
>The entire Geth conclusion
>Cidadel was apparently good?
>Gameplay felt tight as fuck
>That Multiplayer

It's an alright game. I mean, it fucked up everything forever and is the most shitty fucking conclusion to the previous games that anyone could've possibly dreamed up and should be shot into the fucking sun to stop it from hurting humanity any further. but it's okay.

never 4get

>Are you still mad, user?
No.
Yes i am am you fucking nigger!ME3 killed the series and my desire to ever play them again!

I'm still glad they fucked the Geth up so badly with that Reaper Code bullshit
"Hey we dont wanna join the Reapers because we want to evolve on our own path"
"NVM we want the Reaper Code

I finished ME3 for the first time like a month ago.
I wasn't mad actually, I expected the shittiest ending possible and I got it.
The rest of the game was pretty garbage though.

I for one welcome our new fembot overlords

It's outstanding the amount of things that book fucks up:

>Character ages five or so years in six months
>Gay character turns straight
>Kid forgets/gets cured of autism
>Citadel is the shape of an open flower
>Disease designed specifically for the Illusive man's DNA, the most paranoid and private citizen outside the OG shadow broker
>That fucking paragraph

I expecte a shit ending from the start, because the only way to defeat eldricht creatures you can't comprehend and are infinitly superior to yourself is to not really fight them at all, like ME1 did.
But ME3s ending still surprised with how half-assed and lazy it was.
What made this the straw that broke the camels back for me was how the whole disaster was handled. Instead of admiting that they wrote a terrible ending, Bioware decided that to start at massive war against their own fans.
Haven't bought a Bioware game ever since. Don't plan to, either. I pirated DAI but it was so painfully mediocre, devoid of creativity and boring that I couldn't finish it.

I'm not sure I even understand what this is trying to tell me. Dude bugged his own apartment?

>how do we show our new character, Kai Leng, Master Assassin, is a super badass?
>we'll have him eat someone else's cereal!

wat

Are YOU badass enough to eat someone else cereal?

Didn't think so, BITCH.

The console version of this game has a 93 metacritic. Not one review is labelled negative. Compared to the fan reaction, it should tell enough what's wrong with the review culture. There's no variety, no actual criticism.

>gameplay is so good

Gee, I sure love those terrible quest, noexistent enemy variety and virtually removing all galactic exploration. I sure like playing hide and seek with reapers. Great gameplay mechanics right there!

In fact, the only mission that stands out to me as memorable is the geth mission where you explore their past. With no combat at all.

...

>The last words of the Mass Effect trilogy were "downloadable content"

Mass Effect 1 was the only good game.

Mass Effect 2 had literally no choices that mattered until the end boss stage where you chose who did what, and the story had nothing to do with the Reapers or the main plot line. The whole game was literally just one big side quest.

On top of that, they removed the exploration and roaming of worlds on your own, made every world a linear quest-fest, and made planet scaling annoying as all fucking hell.

Mass Effect 3....was that even a game?

God Bioware is such shit. People rag on Bethesda for not putting out good games anymore, but at least they're enjoyable.

planet scanning annoying as all fucking hell*

>thermal clips

...

I never even tried ME3 because Mass Effect 2 was one of the worst sequels I've ever played, almost rivaling Oblivion

Outside of the ending the game was good.
