In Progress Let's Play Mass Effect 3: Emotional Engagements

The Reapers sure got weaker and weaker. Right now you one-shooted one like it wasn't a big deal... Which makes the endings even more sillier (especially considering these last conversations with your companions).

PS: It seems that Liara wasn't joking when she said that thing about embracing Eternity.

Unfortunately, after watching the endings on YT, they appear to have added retconned some explanation to the final events. Still derpy as fuck, but the exposition simply ruined Bioware's original trolling vision. The initial, Shriveled Cut was much more "What the shit just happened? "-worthy.

The rest of the team ending up just masturbating with the rest of the Alliance forces while Shep takes just two seems retarded IMO.
What happened to Suicide Run?

ur rite. im stuped

I guess those poor schmucks at the end forget to bring a Cain.

I think I already asked you about it, but would you kindly mention the songs' names?

Shitty speech is shitty. The Parangon option is talking about the bloody Power of friendship/Strength of Bonds, seriously? That only works (not) in (bad) anime. Plus Shepard suddenly becomes schizophrenic if you randomly change to the Renegade option.

Lastly but not least, I don't know much about hi-tech military gear, but is a guidance system really necessary for targets that are big as a bloody skyscraper? What about manual aim?

"it's too close to the beam"

Sorry bout that, I used mostly
Two Steps from Hell Track
-Black Blade
-United We Stand
-Protectors of Earth
and ripped one from Republic Commando : Vode Ahn,
and....the briefing was accompanied by Battlefield 3 Theme.

Schizo? I honestly felt Shepard treat his friends differently - comrades as you call em. 'I' would refer to Ash & James as 'Soldiers' But Garrus, Liara and Tali? These guys for their own reasons, are not 'soldiers'. Hence the Paragon pick Sorry if it sounds stupid - but Friendship is magic, bronies.

Also:

"Use the Force, Luke"

The bravery of comrades in arms valiantly attacking the raeper with rifles touched me to the bottom of my spleen...

I think the Asari kinda fucked up in not checking firesupport was available BEFORE she ordered those ambushing infantry to open fire and reveal their positions to the giant death machine.

Though if it's the same asari who stopped talking randomly before looking up to the reaper about to lazor her, then i guess she just has a flair for the dramatic.

Question is: what were they trying to achieve - at all - with their rifles, fire support or no? It's like calling an artillery strike, then heroically charging a tank with a bowie knife.

i'd love to post an update today, but i just reached home at 11 pm and i gotta start work at 9 am tomorrow. so.. yeah. Sorry folks.
I was out all evening with a friend. We played Saints Row 3 co-op over LAN. That was awesome.

Well I'm no tactical genius like Anderson is so it's possible the nuances of the plan escapes me, but it seemed that it was the cannon fodder's job to distract the reaper whilst the fire support (those tanks the cannon fodder had been escorting up to this point, armed with thanix missiles if i recall which lore wise is based on reaper tech and one of the few weapons that can consistenly hurt reapers) take advantage of the cannon fodder's destruction to target the reaper without getting 1 shotted by the lazors.

Only asari was a noob and didn't check the tanks were in position (or that they could even fire?) so just wasted loads of Rk47's precious war assets.

The alternative explanation is: like heroically charging a tank with a knife, it's done for maximum emotional engagement

Around 13:30, Shepard finds a log written somewhere. Why would he be reading someone's report in the middle of a battle? Why was the log even placed there?

Why does the game give you an urgent situation and then structure everything like there is no urgency? Just read a diary log in the middle of a Reaper battle, heh.

It definitely ruined my immersion.

Yes, that would be quite different from every other Bioware game. Not sure why they'd do it here, considering the rest of ME3 is so well put together.
But if I were to guess, I'd say dongs. They explain everything.

Critical Engagement Failure in 5... 4... 3...

Looking forward to getting home and see the citadel Fortress of Regrets.

You would think millions of year old cyber machines of doom would have pretty badass EWS which would stop any targetted weapons, but I guess if you start thinking like that, where would it end?

Next segment must have Final Countdown as theme song.

I like how they don't bother explaining how does that magical beam stop the missiles. Anyways, prepare yourself RK, you're going to enter the dreaded "Maximum DERP" territory. From now on, expect the worse

Heading home in 1 hour... can't wait.

One reaper got destroyed by a few rockets. So why can't the reapers be beaten with conventional warfare again?

The EC really made it less mindfucking. Can't recall the scene from the end of last video in the original game, this one with crashed transporter and the view of beam surroundings. It was just like 'How the fuck did I got there, why amI running down through this shit, what the hell just happened'.
