It's not fair.

Shepard-Commander.

You bet

Zero Escape: Virtue's Last Reward

...

Legion was the best part of ME2, it's such a shame they were only around for a small fraction of the game.

It's harder to think of cases where this doesn't happen

I don't know who this poster was, but they're my brother in spirit.

Strange, isn't it?

HRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

FUCK

most of the ME2 cast is GOAT though. Tali & Garrus obviously, but then there's Mordin, Legion, Grunt, Thane, Samara, Zaeed... I never played Kasumi's DLC, but really the only characters that aren't well-liked are Jacob, Miranda, and Jack. And Jack gets better in ME3. Really the only terrible characters are Kaidan and Ashley

>The AI that you expect will eventually go the HAL 9000 route never does and stays a bro throughout the entire game.

Hey, Kaidan isn't that bad, just super bland outside of his romance arc (which is also bland). Ashley is the only character I actively dislike. ...And I just realized you were specifically talking about 2 - yes, both characters were terrible in 2.

And yeah, ME2 was amazing. I know it gets hate sometimes for cutting down on the complexity and being more 'action-focused', but for all that it came out 7 years ago, it's still my favorite RPG.

It's true even outside of vidya

it's true no matter where you go

ANNIHILATE

Can't believe no one has posted HK yet.

what secured them for me as Consistently Awful was the Mars mission at the beginning of ME3. All that whining about Cerberus in ME2, and even after leaving them and actively fighting against them, Kaidan/Ashley is STILL whining about it and even accusing Shep of secretly still working for them? Like I'm gonna bother visiting them in the hospital after that.

Were they better in ME1? I never played it. I know that's not the ideal way to do things, but I started with ME2 and the Genesis comic seemed good enough.

Star Wars

There is a special place in Hell for people like Hudson and Walters.

Because its too obvious.

It's a shame you didn't play ME1 because that's the best one in terms of story and characters.

WORTHLESS CONSUMER MODELS

>the robots have more personality than the humans

Kaiden in ME1 was aggressively bland - now granted, there weren't loyalty missions or suchlike, so you weren't forced to interact with your squad any more than you wanted to, but I hardly remember anything at all about him, either positive or negative.

Ashley's personality in 1 was actively abrasive to me, and rarely rose above 'career military because that's what my family does and I don't trust aliens'.

And to be honest you aren't missing a whole bunch IMO; ME1 was cool at the time and I really enjoyed it, but going back to get a new save to import just feels slow and clunky (especially Mako combat sections and most of Feros).

Can't argue with that.

It never fails

when you're right you're right

But user you just posted a pic of a normal japanese High schooler...

I played through war of cybertron game(s?), and while they were awfully generic and lacklustre gameplay and mostly design-wise, I fucking loved all the robot voices and robot shit going on.
It was great just to experience that. Robots are just fucking cool like that.

Just cause his got Mecha in his name doesn't mean he's mechanical in any way

This is a robot thread, user.

I was just about to post this. STRANNGE ISN'T IT?
