Same here.AD-Stu said:Aside from the final 10 minutes, it was pretty much the greatest game I've ever played. Not perfect, by any stretch, but no game is.
I enjoyed the emotional highs and lows. I had some great fun playing with the new weapons. Seeing locations that up until now we'd only heard about (Thessia, Rannoch, Sur'kesh, Grissom Academy) was awesome. Same goes for some of the characters from the extended universe (Kahlee and the much-hated Kai Leng for example).
So yeah - aside from the last 10 minutes, I loved it to death.
Basically this. I loved everything about the game (with the exception of Udina being the councilor even though Anderson was in ME2, that just confused the hell out of me).Captain Epic said:Everything before the magic elevator was awesome. It could have been easily the best game of the year...
Yup, the time capsule scene is incredibly touching and sad at the same time. It's a sudden reminder that the probability of success is infinitesimally small, which is something that I had forgotten. I think many people fall into the "I'm the hero, of course we're going to win" idea in video games, and at first my time in ME3 was just like that. But once I actually got out of that mindset and started listening to the conversations people have, I realized how incredibly bleak the whole game is. Liara's time capsule captures that feeling perfectly and has a great moment of camaraderie between her and Shepard. It's definitely one of my favorite moments in gaming so far.Jedoro said:I loved the scene where Liara comes up to your cabin and discusses her time capsule plan. That scene alone made me go back and replay the series, romancing and staying loyal to her in all three. I'm just about done with ME2, and I do have Lair of the Shadow Broker, and I'm already loving it more than when I romanced Ash.
This x1000. Killing Kai Leng with a charge-nova-supermeleestrike combo was probably the most satisfying feeling ever.KingsGambit said:For fear of incurring moderator wrath for writing a short answer, I shall write it anyway. The reason being that little more needs to be said than:
NOVA
Vanguard was fun in ME1. Vanguard was great fun in ME2. Vanguard was bloody brilliant in ME3. Constantly moving, constantly zipping around the battlefield. Nova is a great additiion to the vanguard arsenal. In combination with all the evolutionary upgrades to increase radius/aoe, the Vanguard becomes a very capable at taking out groups as well as lone, tough targets. The combo thing is exciting but a little too powerful. Vanguard + Liara can wipe out swathes of foes. Except for the let down at the end, it was a good action game.
