damn theres some good ones in there, the wrex one and the mask under a mask ones were gold.

 

[Anvil]

Fuck. Yes.

 

[El Stormo]

I'm still p.o.'ed at Bioware for no Tali-dyke option.

*frowns and crosses arms*


But at some of those. I wonder how many got the first one, with Mysterious Black Dude.

 

[WhiteBeastofWotan]

Fuck. Yes.

Anyone want to place bets on how long it will be before someone mods that scene to have full tittay nudity?

 

[EricT]

Fuck you, Sony... all I wanted to do was play some god damn Heavy Rain.

Learn how to make a god damn console that doesn't have a shitty calendar.

 

[Cat5Messiah]

Yeeeeeeeeeeeeee.

 

[Liverslapper]

DJ Hero is actually really fun. Very interesting mixes. Try it out sometime.

Joined the bandwagon with my crappy MSPaint skills:

LMAO at the last one.

I started to play 2, then I realized I enjoyed 1 more. Granted, driving around on those awful planets collecting metal deposits and assorted junk is major boring shit, but 2 seems to have ruined the vanguard class which I had immense fun playing in 1.

 

[El Stormo]

2 definitely gave my preferred weapon (the sniper rifle) a kick in the balls. Only ten shots per mission, unless you spend tedious minutes after battles collecting thermal... whatevers that are almost impossible to spot on a dark underground unless you're willing to stop for several seconds after every step to see them briefly light up. I don't understand why the SR is always so nerfed in games. It has slow rate-of-fire, and is almost impossible to use in close combat (unless you've spent so much time practicing with it, like me). The trade-off is high accuracy and damage. All weapons have this balance, with some strong points and some weak ones. But for some reason, SR's always have to get the additional ridiculous ammo penalty, whereas other weapons don't. The other weapons don't run out of ammo nearly as fast as the SR (and no, I don't miss ), with the exception maybe of the heavy pistol. Games sure hate high-accuracy weapons with a passion.

 

[Lord Foul]

The whole ammo concept is painfully stupid anyhow. 2 years have gone by and suddenly the weapon technology has gone from "can shoot forever" to clips? This is why they resurrected Shepard - the whole damn galaxy is going to hell without him/her.

 

[Det Som Engang Var]

I thought the Vanguards charge was utterly useless. It puts you right in firing range where you're sure to die. If you use it in a safe situation, to take out maybe one enemy, then you might as well just shoot them down.

 

[Lord Foul]

Exactly. Vanguards were so damn fun to play in ME1. You had decent armor and barrier to keep you alive (plus shock trooper specialization for more toughness), a shotgun with infinite ammo, and a range of biotics perfect for barreling into a shitstorm of dudes and just wasting them all with carnage missiles. Now I get ammo limitations, no barrier, throw, or warp, and I have to hide behind cover to live longer than 5 seconds.

 

[Det Som Engang Var]

Couldn't have said it better myself. Made me want to reroll a pure soldier or biotic, haha.

I thought it was funny how whoever you saved during the nuke situation (Ashly or Kaiden), they both get pissed at you when you meet them again. Made me want to go back and save Ashly until I looked on youtube and saw the dialogue was the same.

Infiltrator/Commando (Infiltrator/Assassin in ME2) is where it's at, people.

 

[Lord Foul]

I like the infiltrator style of play in other games, but found it unrewarding in ME1 because the other members of your team are just useless and the AI isn't smart enough to charge a sniper in cover with multiple guys to take advantage of the long reload/cooldown time on rifles. IE it's too easy
