Tell your story walking OP

Nice quality shitpost

hmmm... actual discussion, honestly i was expecting pictures of food.

I'm not uninstalled but I have no plans to launch it again. Back to Diablo 3 now that the Necro is out and I'll finally get around to some old Steam games.

Strangely, I was never annoyed by geth. Triple rocket to the face always comes as a surprise, I just say WOW every time it happens and pick myself up from the floor. Both geth and cerberus are full of it but it makes the victory so much sweeter. I never get this feeling in Meda. For some reason end of a match is highly anticlimactic, there is no orgasm, only simple relief.

It is not perfect it is just better designed and taken care off. MEAMP is a castrated version of ME3MP with jetpacks.

Who said anything about difficulty?

I had an identical experience to this, right down to avoiding Collectors on my second PS3 - bought solely because of my addiction to ME3 MP. Now, having got bored with every single aspect of MEA I'm playing ME3 again on XB1 (mostly), and finding it truly glorious. Still. I'm over 3000 hours now, compared to about 100 of MEA. It's not perfect, but it's perfect for me, just about. And before anyone says it's just a case of building up my manifest, I should point out that I have four N7 120 accounts and one N7 1920 (retired), so I've shown that I actually enjoy 'the grind' when the game itself is fun. Promotions weren't fun, so I only did them once for the challenge points. Sure, I hate the Geth like everybody else, but that's why decapitating them with a Claymore feels so damn good.

I also agreed with every word akots said. Yes, these are subjective feelings - if someone out there is enjoying MEA I'm happy for them - but they're pretty strong subjective feelings, to the point that I have to suspect that most people are still simply trying to get their money's worth and pretending they're having fun. I like Backlash, Flak Cannon and Cryo trap as powers, and I prefer the soft-cover and blind fire mechanics in MEA, and that's it. I don't know where the fun is actually supposed to come from. The game needs a significant quad transplant.

I've also just found out courtesy of JRandall0308 that there won't be MP DLC in any form other than drip-feed patched content, and I'm just left shaking my head at the state of a franchise I have adored for six years (SP and MP), during which time I have found it hard to engage with anything other than Mass Effect, with Naughty Dog producing the only games I have played more than once. I do appreciate everything he has done to try to engage with the devs to make improvements, but as my dad would say, you can't make a silk purse out of a sow's ear. MEA will go down in gaming history along with No Man's Sky, ironically the game it set out wanting to be, as a steaming turd with a tired face. No amount of polishing that turd is going to produce a diamond. No, the game is not that bad, but it's certainly not that good. I'm out. But I'll see you in the ME3 MP section if you want to have fun. 

They may not be "broken" - and I do understand their purpose in the game - but I still find them to be my single biggest annoyance with it.

I admit I've not played nearly as many different games as many here have, but I don't recall ever encountering an enemy as annoying as the dogs of MEA. The vast majority of the times when I'm interrupted from completing something I set out to do, or fall in battle, it's because of a dog. I wouldn't mind it so much if their appearance were only occasional, but I feel like I encounter at least a half dozen of them every.single.wave. If they get within 3 meters of your character, they will stagger you, and if you don't take them out quickly enough, they will stunlock you out of cover for a time. On top of all of that, some of them are invisible, and the breacher's kiss interaction is truly weird.

All of the other low-level enemies (chosen, raiders, assemblers) will run, dodge, take cover, seek a different target.  Not dogs.  Once they target you, they will continue their charge until they are either successful or killed.  You cannot evade them - you must deal with them, right now.

Their existence and their numbers mean that I'll be prevented from taking that final kill shot, detonating that primer I've set up, getting into that position I've selected, etc. multiple times every wave. The result is that I'm constantly robbed of the satisfaction of successfully completing the things I want to do. My team may have completed the wave, objective, match, but I still feel a lack of satisfaction due to all of the times I was not able to complete an action - mostly because of dogs.

I suppose I should also state that I'm typically much more interested in strategy/tactics than full-on reactive action gaming - and MEA has moved much more into the latter category.

ME3 had it's share of cloaking, teleporting, grenade-tossing enemies that would flush you out of cover, but MEA has taken that to a whole new level with the attacks that harm and stagger you through cover, and the goddamned dogs.

The primary reason for my dwindling interest in this game is the dogs.  I don't find them entertaining or challenging, just incredibly annoying fun thieves.

Me three, although my rule for my 2nd ps3 is no Collectors and no Hazard maps. 

(and though I haven't uninstalled, I haven't even logged in to MEA in weeks)

OMG TRIGGERED STAGGERED.
