How best to ruin Mass Effect 3

[A-D.]

Make Shepard into Jar Jar Binks, at least the Voice. Then make the Game as dialogue-heavy as you possibly can, cutting back any Combat to about 2% of the total gametime of say 40 Hours. Everything else is Dialogue, and Shepard is in all of them. Oh and you cant skip Cutscenes or Dialogue at all.

Imagine. 40-50 Hours Gameplay, listening to Jar Jar's Voice.

You're welcome.

You need to make a bomb out of 1000 10000 100000 1000000 10000000 Iridium every 30 minutes of actual gameplay to be able to kill a reaper.

 

[Haelium]

Turn a previously cool character into homosexual stereotype. Oh wait, they already did that with Kaidan.

Replace the normal RPG leveling system with a bullshit one with only 4 ski- Dammit!

Remove almost all choice with Armour and weapons, oh wait.

Planet mining for resources necessary to complete the game without half your team dying.

Make only 4 missions related to the story and have the rest as sidetracking.


I think I'll just quit, Bioware seem to have this covered.



And before somebody starts bitching at me, I liked ME2, just saying that they removed most of the good stuff.

Eezo....its harder to find and has even smaller high yield quantities.

4. Batarian romance option 0.o

Better than a Krogan.

My Shepard Sh*t bricks when told there was a female Krogan who would mate with him...

 

[Pat8u]

Oh please. Just releasing the game will be enough to ruin it for a lot of people.
"It's not RPG-ish enough now!"
"It's too RPG-ish, make it like ME2!"

"Waah, I wanted to see Tali's face!"
"WTF Bioware? Tali doesn't look like that! She has tentacles for a mouth!"

Y'know, the usual internet spout of hatred for anything anyone's ever heard of, especially if it has hype.

personally Im staying away from the internet for a couple of months after skyrims been realeased I actually did the same for portal 2

 

[Supernova2000]

Reduce planet exploration to a menu-driven map screen, you're not allowed to issue squad orders mid-battle ala potion drinking in The Witcher 2, weapon/armour degradation with no repair mechanics. No free-roaming of the Normandy, being stun-locked for 10 seconds at least once in each battle, being forced to stay as friendly as possible with as many party members as possible just to keep them at peak combat effectiveness. Keep the camera behind Shephard at all times during dialogue and reduce the dialogue options to just either "Okay, I agree with everything you say, just don't hurt me" or "I'M GONNA BEAT YOU TO DEATH WITH YOUR OWN ARMS".

Instead of having FTL-capable ships, make them totally dependent on giant space cannons to fire them to FTL speeds. Yes I know that's how it is anyway but that's what put me off my second play through of ME1; when Nihlus said "Without the mass relays, interstellar travel would be impossible", which made me want to throw him out the airlock! Yet I'd finished the game before and had a good time with it nonetheless.

But the number one way to ruin it: Make the game exclusively Move/Kinect-controlled!! Mind you, you could ruin just about any game that way!

 

[CommanderKirov]

1. Make it a 2d sidescrolling platformer.
2. Make reapers into robotic minions of even bigger space race.
3. Transform the Normandy into the Red Dwarf
4. Make Shepard participate in "Equal Rights Parade" as an subplot explaining why he suddenly turned bi
5. Make Cerberus evil for no apparent reason and turn it into a force hellbent on destroying the only salvation from the rea- Oh wait...

 

[Doctor Panda]

Make shepard somehow a 'chosen one' who carries the legacy of the... christ, i can't even remember what they're called. The P-guys. There are too many different names for the concept in different cheesy sci fi stories (not that I dislike mass effect in the slightest)

 

[Pyrokinesis]

hm...

1. If you had a relationship in any of the last games you get none this time. So your sex scene is your shepard wanking to a picture. (also if you had none you get legit ponani this time with everyone).

2. The reapers are fake, Cerberus made it all up.

3. Your homo scene is your character getting raped, forcefully. (maybe there into that stuff....eh....)

4. Earth gets blown up.

5. Shepard dies, again. again..

6. When shepard dies the game switches over to commander shepra, a volus commander.

7. He dies to, so now you get to watch concept art of how the reapers won and the universe ends.

8. You fight a final boss with 30 attack points that all have as much health as the boss of ME2, no mid-fight saves.

9. When you win you lose, because you die anyway. But if you die in the fight you have to do it all over again.

10. No xbox or PS3 releases.

 

[mikey7339]

It turns out the Reapers are agents of The King of All Cosmos, and the only way to stop them is to roll them all up and fling them out of the universe.

 

[bjj hero]

Shepard involved in a hanar prison rape scene

Sinister: You have a pretty mouth Shepherd...

 

[Electric_Sunshine]

Make it an FPS, no RPG options, same gun through out the entire game, 6 hour campaign, take away biotics/omnitool, on rails, everyone dies on the ship at the beginning, so no crew members from past games (except Kaiden), no save points except beginning of levels, too easy, no romance, you don't get to play Commander Shephard but instead Kaiden.

I'm so mean.

 

[imnot]

the reapers turn out to be the whole my little pony cast who have came here to steal your soul via cartoon network show...wait...THEIR ALREADY HERE!RUN FOR THE HILLS!SAVE THE CHILDREN SAVE YOURSELF!!!!!!!!!!!11111111111111111111111

The Reapers are city sized ponies?

I would actually play that XD

 

[A Gent of Villainous Intent]

4. Tali is actually a human being and Shepard's genetic daughter, and the Reapers fooled Shepard with hypnotizm to fall in love and have sex with her as payback for some rumors he spread when he was young and going to the same school the Reapers' and their sister sister, who they were in an incestuous relationship with, went to. He cuts off his tongue and they commit suicide making everything fucking anticlimactic, frustrating, and somewhat pointless.

Old Boy?

Huh, didn't expect that

 

[cthulhumythos]

just kidding.

i'd really make it so you have to probe each reaper to death and you have to do it 200 reapers in a specific time frame. and you only do damage on high deposits.

Oh man, you are so evil.. seriously man, do you eat kittens for breakfast or something?

also you wouldn't be able to upgrade you scanner speed.

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAA

 

[Slash Dementia]

-The Normandy crashes onto a strange planet, over half of the crew dies. You're stuck with Jacob and Miranda.

-Mass Effect's intro turns into a "horde" mode where you and your party fight until everyone is dead.

-Once everyone is dead, you get a new party. The story of this new party isn't revealed at all (wait for prequels), and you're their newest recruit. They're generic, helmeted humans who are space marines. Everyone is male, and everyone has a bland, monotone voice. They're also all very patriotic and show it. They're not on this mission for Earth, they're on it for the USA.

-This new party goes to investigate the Normandy crash site and find everyone dead. So they fly back to Earth to fight the Reapers (they weren't so important to keep on Earth).

-The space marines find an entrance zone at the belly of a Reaper ship, and when it opens to let other ships out, it goes in. Now you're just in a corridor shooter, fighting all kinds of husks, until you reach a boss fight and you fight another gigantic Reaper-terminator-look-alike.

-You save the world, but there's a cliffhanger: Your party's ship's power goes out, and everything is dead within the ship after you fly out of the Reaper's belly. You're floating out into space, and no one notices. Then, you all go into hibernation chambers. "To be continued..." flashes on a black screen and some screamo band plays the credit music.

Mass Effect 3 ruined enough here?

Oh, and you only get two different guns, there's no customization of any kind, no dialog option, and no third person view.

 

[adamtm]

"How best to ruin Mass Effect 3"

release it?

 

[Cazza]

Remove all squad memebers and make you spend whole game getting them back and making them happy. Basicly ME2 again with a different boss at the end.
