4/5 seems right. Gameplay was better, but ME2 was absolutely better as a whole, no question. Game just felt a bit....hollow, I guess? All the side missions were either souless fetchquests or multiplayer maps thrown into the main game (and they were clearly MP maps first). Definately not as good as ME2.

Surprise Marauder is such an douchebag.

ME3 is easily the best game in the series for me. The gameplay is by far the best and even the ending can't bring down how absolutely amazing everything leading up to that point is.

ME2 is close but the improved gameplay and better squad banter pushes ME3 into first place.

I didn't think those were very good in ME3, though!

Grunt, maybe. Jack's was a huge letdown considering I was really looking forward to Kahlee Sanders mattering or something.

ME3's N7 missions were a lot better than ME2's though, which didn't even feature any sort of dialogue 99% of the time.

Well, that's what I think of when I think of "sidequests" in ME. Sure, doing loyalty missions and stuff is technically not required, but I still consider that mainline stuff since it has a direct impact on the storyline and why would you skip them anyway.

Awesome guy at Gamestop.

I preordered the game there but ended up buying it from Wal-Mart cause they had it at midnight. So I went in to change my pre-order to Tales of Graces F and he ended up giving me the ME3 pre-order bonuses anyway.

Going to load them up now (some armor and a rifle I think?).

"Optional content", then. The stuff you could do but didn't have to was much better in ME2.

If by cool you mean complete jackass, then yeah, he does.

And he only looks like that because Anderson blew off his knees and Illusive Man Reaper'd him up some new ones. And some other upgrades.

Your choices influence the game as the game happens. Just because the last five minutes didn't tie everything into a neat little bow doesn't mean all of your choices were meaningless.


(Spoilers sorta)












This is how I felt.

Just change the endings to slightly different colors.

Bioware made every individual persons playthrough different. I can appreciate that, however at the end, when everything was said and done, it was just a glorified maze to herd a bunch of cattle to a slaughter house. You just end up getting screwed.

I'm trying to find a good pic of it. It's the one where he's got the round visor thing over one eye. Looks like a freaking monocle and combined with his personality it's my favorite costume for him.

Nah, not that one. That's from early in development I think.

The one in game is much rounder, doesn't glow, and when you look at it from the front you can't really see the part attaching it to the side of his head. The armor is also kind of desert camo looking.

Vega is fine, he's just not as interesting as most other characters.

He's the best human at least!

Kaiden got pretty overly dramatic this time around, actually.

I vaguely remember some conversation where he was all "Can you feel it coming, Shepard? THE QUICKENING?! We're going to reap VENGANCE down upon our enemies", or something to that effect.
