    I think the most trouble I had was with ED-E freaking the fuck out and killing old ladies

    And some quests bugging out for no reason, but mostly ed-e

    i mean since it was only twenty bucks i will probably finish it, assuming nothing really important breaks

    the writing is good but that is really the only thing that i feel is better than fallout 3

    Overall I like the writing better than FO3 but I feel so much less connected to this...plot.

    I get shot in the head, a doctor nurses me back to health and then I'm supposed to go find that guy?

    Don't have any other life to get back to? Was I just a complete loser prior to this?

    Burnout Paradise was awesome because you could just go whatever old way you wanted to get to the finish.

    I managed to finish my last event, a race most of the way across the map, using the the starting car (for old times' sake) against a bunch of fucking F1 race cars by finding a route perfectly suited to the car and my driving style. It was awesome as fuck.

    I gave a good stab with each of the classes on insanity. Well, except soldier (figured by playing everything else, I'd get a good idea of the soldier experience). Somehow, only Vanguard and Engy managed to hold my interest for entire playthroughs. Not like that's a bad thing.

    I just don't know if I'm good enough at the game to make playing vanguard on insanity work.

    Like sure on Sentinal I tore things apart on insanity, barely had trouble with anything. But that's a safe class that plays defensively and doesn't really require risk taking.

    It's rough, at first. Ain't gonna lie. Just finished Horizon and I'm still cleaning out enemies with the Eviscerator easily (one-shotting fully armored vorcha never gets old). That's at about two Shepard health and two damage protection upgrades, with my shotty running at the same number.

    As long as I keep using charge to refill my shields and stasis to pin down the nastier enemies, I'm in pretty damn good shape.

    The nice thing, as that I don't have to babysit my allies as much since the enemy is so damned preoccupied with me bouncing back and forth like a pinball. Most fights are being finished in a quarter of the time that it takes my engy, and I'm dying about as much at this point.


    In short: I'm having a goddamn blast.

    I think I will give it a go. If it ends in my horrible death all the time I can always drop the difficulty down.

    It's a little rough early on, before you have many upgrades and charge+shield isn't strong enough/doesn't recharge fast enough to save you. Once you get a couple armor upgrades and get charge leveled up it's fine.

    WRONG

    Soldier is so fun to play and so many people have the wrong perception.

    It's not just shooter easy mode. It's a mix of aggressive run and gun, as well as setting up cross fire to take out strategic enemy emplacements.

    Also, more often then not I'm trying to flank or get behind enemies where I can assault rifle 2 or 3 guys to death quickly and then dive for cover. Shock Trooper for the win.

    Until you pick your way through cover, get in on the flank or behind a couple of enemies, and then leap out with the Revenant spewing fire bullets at unsuspecting guards you haven't had a true soldier experience. I swear you can hear them go "WHAT THE FUCK OMG I'M ON FIRE WHERE DID HE COME FROM".
