You want to throw her out of the airlock anyways so we'll void that from the discussion. I may have said it, but I most likely wouldn't. I would turn her over to Nexus security and let her explain why she used Initiative property for going after something for a project while endangering the life of the pathfinder. If they were to ask what punishment would be best for her. Send her to H-047C to help mine Helium-3. If that doesn't work, put her back in cyro. Thanks

well, back to topic.. I like MEA because it reminds me of ME1.. I like me2 but more as some sort of mini-story anthology because the cerberus shit was stupid, the collector twist obvious, the "consequences" were totally arbitrary and worthless and the great companions had not enough to say, so much that they made a meme out of garrus lack of talking.

You know I've because of the convo me and greysen have had that Liam is a poorly written character. Take a look at the argument scene. He goes onto say that he's not sorry for the mess really...which means he didn't learn anything. Which is the whole point of character arcs to begin with. Character has a flaw. Something happens to that character. Character learns and grows. That does not happen to Liam. Does that necessarily translate to poorly written, though? I think there are people IRL who are pretty stubborn and don't learn from their mistakes (at least not the first few times), some who are quite prideful and don't acknowledge mistakes, etc. Also, there are people IRL who you like, some you don't like, some who are fun, some who are boring, etc. The fact that we're talking about him as much as we have been and have various reactions to him and the stuff he does would paint him as a well-written character, imho.

Looking back, it's hilarious how much better the second game was compared to their successors, whether it's Dragon Age or Mass Effect. God, I remember hating DA2, but looking back now, damn. But I digress.
ME2 was probably my favorite Bioware game since I first played it, so I'll always agree with the notion that it's better than anything else Bioware might have churned out over the last decade, whether if it's an unpopular opinion or not. It's got a wide variety of companions, most of whom were really well-written characters. It's got an epic suicide mission that factored in your choices correctly like Bioware should've done with every other of its title, including DA:I which I heard that upgrading Skyhold doesn't matter (sorry, digressing again), or the very linear Andromeda that would end up the same way no matter what you chose earlier.
Honestly, Bioware's gotten a lot more "Telltale Games" over the last few years since ME2. I don't know why I even bother anymore.

With regards to load screens, I am sympathetic that you cant mod consoles and had to sit through all those time sinks. I did also buy the trilogy (and DLC) on PC, and riding the elevator to different decks on the Normandy happens instantaneously on my PC. No load screens there. I'm sure that's part of it - but I've also always assumed the cutscenes of the ship landing, taking off, mass relay jumps, etc. are part of the storytelling and are there simply to show a transition. ME3 added the conversation with Alliance control and the option of asking for ground transportation to a specific area of the Citadel for convenience. I agree they overdid it a bit with the travel animations in MEA - people complained about how silly it is to move a little model Normandy around on a galaxy map, so they tried to provide something more immersive. Almost forgot to mention the puzzles. I preferred the hack/bypass puzzles for ME2 to space sudoku in MEA. I did wish there was an option to skip those in ME2 as they get tedious after a while. In MEA after the first few they started getting very time consuming. I always had an issue using decryption cores as they were finite and did not know when I would really need one in the future. So I either suffered through solving it or I googled it and copied the solution from a website. Did they really think people would enjoy spending their time on this? There's an ME2 mod that bypasses the hacking mini-games. I don't mind the Sudoku puzzles. I printed out all of the solutions, but have never used that sheet - it doesn't take me long to do them.

If it did differ, it probably "differ" as much as ME3's tri-colored ending, because I barely noticed. Then again, I don't really give a shit about Andromeda, so what do I care? :lmfao: It's a shitty game either way.

Salaran pathfinder or Krogan scouts? Did you do people's loyalty missions or no? Which Asari pathfinder will also be in the end fight. Pretty mediocre for choices mattering if you ask me and that's part of why I don't feel much for them mattering, especially if bioware holds true to their word on choices not carrying over into other games as much. (Still said to hold onto our saves just in case however). I'm not to surprised though cause making choices carry over into sequels makes things pile on top of each other in the next game and eventually you get ME3 where various decisions really didn't matter because of how hard it was to make them relevant.

Thanks for the sensible, courteous response. I know of the slight difference you get. I just happened to forget about them because they were so minor and insignificant they might as well be the three colors you chose at the end of ME3. It's totally different from what I had described in regards to the suicide mission of ME2, let alone the different choices you get post-loyalty missions (when you had to resolve the conflict between crew members) that Andromeda PALES in comparison, so I don't know what that other guy was going on about.

Your criticisms of something I like hold no effect over my enjoyment of said thing nor does it effect my decisions going forward. For every criticism laid forth unto ME:A I can easily pick the same holes in the OT. It simply amazes me how much of an effect nostalgia has on public reception. That being said, I am certainly not the immature one when you claim anyone with a differing opinion is a fanboy. You seem to forget that you aren't the second coming of Christ and what you say is of little consequence to anyone but you. You get so triggered over an obviously shitty meme and a differing opinion that your first wave of attack is ad hominem detritus. It's so cringey.

Keep telling yourself that, sweetcakes. The level of hypocrisy here is hilarious, when you were the one who got pissy about me calling out on your precious video game in the first place. And besides, there were others who called out on me before and yet I reacted more positively with them... Hm, wonder why that is the case? Might have something to do with them not making asses of themselves. I truly don't know.

Your "case" is based on personal butthurt. I have no case to make against an angsty sycophant other than triggering you for my own amusement at this point. Somebody needs a safe space, huh? Away from evil dissenters? You gon' block yet or keep up this spectrum-level cringe fest?

....the most interesting thing reading the above debate is that it's like two new players have entered the battle field. Fairly confusing trying to get a handle on whose who.
