Poll: Mass Effect 3 Rage!!!!

[boag]

Of all things, I don't like the spike in difficulty. I play games for story and experience, not to get my ass kicked.

Easily one of the more minor issues.

Wait. You thought the single player demo for ME3 was hard?

Well difficulty is subjective but, I will say in ME2 having never played a cover based shooting game I played on the hardest difficulty and I didn't fined it that hard. So I am all for an increase in difficulty.

well the Ai isnt a dumb bag of bricks that screams ENEMIES EVERYWHERE anymore, thats for sure.

Fuckers are working together to kill your characters, flanking manuvres, cover fire, tactical formations. It took me a while to leanr how to deal with each group of enemies and work together with other people to counter their advances.

These threads are nothing but Zeelbait. Let's keep it centered in one thread, how about that?

OT: Yeah, the distribution. Other than that, I haven't kept track.

Why does the Soldier Class suck so hard now?

It used to be the Soldier class what the go to for Getting all the weapon types and maining heavy armor, now its been reduced to the most shitastic thing ever, if you even think about playing a human soldier in multi, you better get used to being dead half the fucking time.

Their Def bonus are atrocious, their skills pathetic, concussion blast is pretty cool when it actually hits something, but there are skills that are better.

The worst part is that since now any character can carry any weapon, the Soldier has become the HARDCORE GET YOUR ASS HANDED TO YOU CLASS. Its unforgiving to play a human soldier, at least the krogan gets a monstrous Meelee and def bonus from fortification, but the Human, is fucking shit. I hope they get another weapon and armor buff in the main game, because not being able to use time dilation via adrenaline rush makes them the shittiest class all around.

In single player, the time dilation is still there (I think) and the while any class can use any weapon, only the soldier can use all of them at the same time. And my friend plays soldier, he doesn't seem to die all the time. Now, how long until this becomes a back and forth with zeel? He's already here, it's only a matter of time..

I voted yes mostly because I don't care for Ashley's new look and I'm a little iffy about how few conversation options there were in the demo and I don't yet know if that's reflective of the actual game. Also the textures were a bit ick.

These are teeny tiny gripes though, ones I really had to think about, so I don't think it's really that big of a deal. If there was a neutral option, I would have picked that instead.

 

[sms_117b]

It was a demo, of a generated character(s) with no history or relation to a player. Even then I thought it wasn't bad, not amazing, game play was good, difficulties offered a challenge, graphics were slightly improved and Ashley had a new look, I liked it.

The demo made me want the game more, that weekend has been taken off work, I intend to complete it twice if not more in a short space of time.

Actually there's a couple of things:

1- that there aren't more than 2 teammates; they could have implemented the same system that FREEDOM FIGHTERS HAD, 1 button for positioning, 1 button for selecting NPCs.

2- DLC is still there, like if it was an uninvited and unwanted guest that crashes to a party.

I don't ever want to be compared to these holy bioware knights. THey exercise little thought and their completely content with Bioware reaming them. I'm sorry, i refuse to believe I am in that group. I present my arguments, they just wank about Bioware and cookies and rainbows. I don't or will ever become THAT.

You think theyre bad now? Wait till March Mayhem kicks off. Theyll make the discussions youve been single handedly generating seem tiny by comparison...

Actually, since youll be around for March Mayhem, perhaps you could 'visit' the Bioware voting threads where the Bioware zealots inevitably gather. Im sure theyll adore your opinions on those threads.

 

[gigastar]

If Me3 is shit. There wont be enough bandwidth in the universe to contain what I'm going to say.

Edit: Though I am interested in what Bioware voting threads you are talking about.

Well, as i mentioned March Mayhem begins soon enough.

To put it into perspective of how intense the forums get during this period, the Mojang vs. Bioware voting thread last year ended up being over 120 pages of heated discussion between Bioware zealots claiming that Minecraft was (at the time) a 'program' and not a game, and Mojang fans pointing out that all Bioware had done that year was a port and Dragon Age 2 and did not deserve any kind of merit for it.

That thread also lasted a whole 2 weeks after the contest ended.

Also Mojang won, which did not please the Bioware fans in any small way.

I look forward to seeing what kind of spectacle you can raise in a few days when the first round begins.

Your opinion will probably be the least important of anyone on this website in regards to ME3 because you've been completely insufferable throughout the whole process.

Did you ever think that maybe, just maybe, the fans are willing to deal with the faults to enjoy what's good about the games, rather than them being mindless idiots? Because I doubt it. People like you NEVER try and see it from the other side.

Seriously, just give up. The people that will enjoy the game will enjoy the game and you can't do anything about it, and they aren't worse people for it.

I'd rather talk to them than to a, as someone pointed out, fanatic like you.

Yes.

You're a fanatic.

You're fanatically against Bioware. To a sickening degree. I've never seen anyone cheer on Bioware in any way comparable to the way you talk about Bioware's fans.

Seriously, grow the fuck up and move on with your damn life. Stop being so worried about what other people enjoy. It's a 100% fruitless endeavor.

 

[.No.]

Looking foward to it, been a fan since the first game, way back when.


My body is ready.

Also, inb4 Zee-

Look at the no's. Honestly I got so much slack for calling you guys fanboys, but am I wrong? You're telling me NOT ONE THING IN MASS EFFECT 3 HAS BEEN SOMETHING YOU DISAGREED WITH?

This. BY ITS VERY DEFINITION MAKES YOU A FANBOY ZEALOT FUNDY.

Nevermind.

I'm certain that it's pretty much impossible to be inb4 Zeel.
He has some kind of sense that alerts him to ME threads.

[Ix Rebound]

I'm most angry about the people raging over every single new announcement about this game, and the people spouting shit like OMG THE PROTHEAN IS ESSENTIAL TO THE STORYLINE

Its probably not but it would be pretty cool in-game
just a shame we have to pay more for the assumed awsomeness

Of course a fanboy would equate reasonable criticism with "Fanaticsm". Good job, you just keep proving my point. Instead of actually defending your Massah. you come in here, frothing at the mouth just to make your silly and useless point: You can't make people not buy games.

Well, con-fucking-gratulations. You have just come to same realization as every-other-person on the Earth.

Anyone who's only defense can be summed up with:But it's Bioware. Should be purged from this planet.

*tries to claim he's not a fanatic*

*claims anyone who likes Bioware even a little is a fanboy that will defend everything they do*

*claims they should be purged from the planet*

Are you even paying attention to what you're writing?

Get some help. You're way too obsessed. It's unhealthy.

Oh Zeel. Your foaming at the mouth tirades are fast becoming the most entertaining thing on these forums.

I don't know, man. I miss EternalNothingness. Still waiting for that guy's grand finale.

 

[Landshark1]

I personally thought the worst thing in the demo was captain Anderson's running animations. That and how the squadmate's movements just looked so... robotic in the earlier trailers.

Instead of actually defending your Massah. you come in here, frothing at the mouth just to make your silly and useless point: You can't make people not buy games.

Really? he's the one frothing at the mouth? compared to your post?

I'm getting sick of your holier than thou attitude towards basically everyone who likes the games. Maybe it's time for you to stop frothing at the mouth and stop making your silly and useless argument that anyone who disagrees with you is a fanboy, because you need to realize that you can't make people not buy games by posting on the Escapist about it.
