I liked how this entire fucky series was a fantasy game disguised with guns... and even more so how some people fell for it, proceeding to debate the MAGIC EFFECT.
ME1 was the only truly decent game in the series. The other two successors seem so disconnected and discordadant narratively and visually that I like to pretend they took place in some sort of bizarre alternate reality.

Just consider the events after shep takes a planet to the face in 2 to be hallucinations from brain death. 2 and 3 take place in the span of the last synaptic pulse, kind of how a dream can feel to last hours when you only have a 10 minute nap, thats why it doesnt make any sense of follow a coherent plot.

Looking at the Alcubierre drive again, I like how one of the objections to it is that squeezing ten times the mass of the observable universe of exotic matter into a layer 10E-32m thick is only "considered impractical".
Unlikely. Do you remeber the days when space exploration was a "scientific advancement" these days the only advancement is happening in I phonesLooking at the Alcubierre drive again, I like how one of the objections to it is that squeezing ten times the mass of the observable universe of exotic matter into a layer 10E-32m thick is only "considered impractical".
Well damn, last I heard we needed 10 billion times the mass of the observable universe. At this rate of theoretical advancement we will have theoretical FTL drives that can run on reasonable masses in a decade.
Bah, my mistake, it was 10 billion.Looking at the Alcubierre drive again, I like how one of the objections to it is that squeezing ten times the mass of the observable universe of exotic matter into a layer 10E-32m thick is only "considered impractical".

You're not too far off the mark there seeing as how ME2 was largely a reboot. This "trilogy"(which it is in name only) has some of the worst continuity I've ever seen.

It's pretty scary when you read people praising the continuity or how "all the game should count as one, just as they were intended".
Not to mention the sheer tonal shift from ME1 (essentially a Biowarian Star Trek with more shoot shoots and less socialist utopia overtones) to ME2 (Grimdark McCorridorshooter with laughable attempts at moral ambiguity and edgyness, while at the same time further embracing what would later become, god fucking help me, the staple of most Bioware games; the romances) is so jarring it left my fucking head spinning. I mean sure, the series was naturally gonna take a more dark direction with the inevitable invasion of the reapers, but this feels like I'm jumping from the kiddy pool straight into the deep end.
I liked the Bro Team review with the "And suddenly, it's Hiro Protagonist" bit.Well for one, up 'till the point of his reveal, ME kept to a fairly standard formula of sci-fi rip-offs and what not. Then suddenly out of nowhere comes a super space ninja. It just got too ridiculous even for ME.
You defeat him in combat, which results in your defeat by cutscene.I get that Kai Leng's a wanker.. but I don't get the severity of the hate on him.. I think he's luggage, but am I missing something that turned him into Hitler?
At least it's fun.Not to mention the sheer tonal shift from ME1 (essentially a Biowarian Star Trek with more shoot shoots and less socialist utopia overtones) to ME2 (Grimdark McCorridorshooter with laughable attempts at moral ambiguity and edgyness, while at the same time further embracing what would later become, god fucking help me, the staple of most Bioware games; the romances) is so jarring it left my fucking head spinning.

I loved how it was marketed as "dark" when it's anything but. Shepard gets killed and revived within the first five minutes to work for some goofball "secret" organization that slaps it's logo all over the place in a brightly lit space yacht, fights color coded sesame street mercs and mindless bug drones that are more black and white than Saren and the Geth, has squadmates dressing up like comic book superheroes, goes around solving said squadmates inane daddy issues, gets Zaeed loyalty after ruining 20 years of his life and to top it off does a "suicide" mission without losing anyone.
What a freaking joke.
That's part of the problem, but not all of it.You defeat him in combat, which results in your defeat by cutscene.I get that Kai Leng's a wanker.. but I don't get the severity of the hate on him.. I think he's luggage, but am I missing something that turned him into Hitler?
It's just about the worst possible sin a game can throw at you.
