The insanely high praise was indeed pretty silly for this game considering its problems. I think part of it has to do with the "system exclusive omg" thing that convinces people a game's really that much better because you can only find it on their system of choice (31% of Jak II reviews scored over 95% for instance).

It's true, though. If the game had come out on the PS3, I would have hated it.

No no no... you gotta go back and demand that they drink the bleach. Tell them to pour the bleach for you and then threaten them into downing it.
It's quite funny.

Okay so for somehow I'm a terrible renegade and ended up 60/60 paragon/renegade. If I only have 1 loyalty quest left do you guys think I could resolve the
Tali vs Legion
conflict? I mean I stopped Miranda and Jack

Since that means you're probably high(er) level then, then probably not, since the amounted needed scales with you and makes it harder to reach at high levels.

So i'm planning to make a Failure Shepard, where he screws up everyone's loyalty quests, and will pick the dumbest decisions possible. Spoilers for my questions, they might be about the end of the game.
I know you can screw up Samara and Tali's Loyalty quests, any others?
If I side with someone, such as Tali, in an argument, and she wasn't loyal before, will siding with her make her loyal to me?
If I choose the correct people for the right jobs on the suicide mission, but they aren't loyal, is that any different from picking people poorly?
If Miranda isn't loyal at the end of the game and you pick the Paragon decision, does she backstab you?
And, is it possible by not doing certain loyalty quests that i'll just fail the last mission and get the reload screen? I'd like to get the worst possible ending without screwing myself over, if you catch my drift.
I don't really expect answers (although i'd appreciate them), just pondering aloud.

A. Well you could simply not do their loyalty missions. The only other one I know you can screw up on in the mission is Thane's.
B. No idea.
C. Depends on who and what, but not being loyal decreases their chances at life.
D. I don't think so.
E. No, but you can get a total party wipe *yourself included.*

You can fail
Zaeed's loyalty quest. I think you choose to go after Vido at the start, but then when you see the workers asking for help, you choose to help them?
Or maybe it's one of the dialog choices at the end. But I managed to finish the mission and not get loyalty.

Man, screw Horizon on insanity. Screw it right in it's silly goose hole.
I'm about 80% done with the game on insanity, and if it makes you feel any better, it really does get easier after a while. I'm to the point where I now have the upper hand in fire fights and can roll through most missions without a hitch. Make sure you get every health and damage upgrade you possibly can, as soon as you can. It makes a world of difference.

The funny thing is I just had that thought before Horizon. I just had a REALLY hard time dealing with the Husks being in my face. I'm still enjoying the challenge though, a nice step up from Veteran.
Can't use biotics or order your squad while floating. They die off in a few seconds, then I die.
Going back to ME1 after ME2, the combat is SO BAD. The shooting so inaccurate, the enemy AI so bad (Really? Every enemy just rushes you?) I don't know if I even care to play through again. ME2 ruined it.

There is an ending where
Shepard can die if you make all the wrong choices.
Don't upgrade the ship. i believe tali, thane and Jack will die.
Don't choose Jacob, Miranda, or Garrus as fire team leaders.
Don't have Tali or Legion go through the ducts.
Don't have Samara or Jack do the Bio shield.
If everyone is unloyal.
You should get everyone killed, with you running back alone

1) that's incredibly idiotic as has been pointed out
2) fuck them, Jak II was great
No loyalty missions
don't awaken Grunt
send Legion to Cerberus
No ship upgrades
why would you not
get grunt or legion? that's just more people to die in humorous ways
Also can leave off Zaeed.
And Grunt and Zaeed are good at "holding the line" so they might survive even if not loyal if you don't specifically take them in your party to get killed. Think he's right, the less you have the easier it is to fail spectacularly.

ME1. Adept. Ship full of Biotics. Destroyed me. Several times. Even when I set it down to Casual. :P
Fuck this class, it's worthless. Glad I never bothered with it before.
Mmm, the one with the time limit before the hostage is executed? I think I know the mission you mean.
Don't bother fighting anyone, just run right through the room to the door at the side, and then into one of the smaller rooms just behind the cockpit (I think it's the one on the right as you go through the door) It'll start a conversation where you can talk down the hijackers, and if you succeed, all the biotics will turn friendly and you can just walk out.
Zaeed died leading the 2nd fire team; you'd think the founder of the Blue Suns would be tougher than that.
Tali also died from falling debris, I guess on account of losing loyalty after the argument with Legion.
Should Garrus leading the second fireteam and leaving Tali out of my end-boss squad keep everyone alive?
endgame mechanics
it sounds like the best way to keep the "squishier" nonloyal squadmembers alive is to stick them guarding the door with more loyal, "harder" characters. There was a post from a dev quoted earlier about how the final door defense generates a "hold the line score," and if you don't get it high enough people start dying off.
So the best bet is to take two (loyal) tech or biotic specialists to the final fight, max out the "toughness" of the door group, and hope that the tough guys can compensate for your nonloyal members.
Apparently mordin is the first on the chopping block, which would explain his "random" dying in so many people's games.
Eat it You Nasty Pig. on
hold your head high soldier, it ain't over yet
that's why we call it the struggle, you're supposed to sweat
you can do N7 missions to bump up the mission count to reach the collector ship
that way you can avoid getting any loyalty
Wait, what?
How do you get N7 missions?
just check visit a planet
if EDI mentions an anomaly scan the planet for a drop point to open up a mission
That's not N7 missions. That's anomaly missions. I thought maybe there was something I was missing.
Uh, those are N7 missions. Sorry.
N7 stands for Spectres. They are more Cerberus missions if anything. I remember a few of them being Cerberus related anyway.
N7 does not stand for Spectres, N7 is the highest classification an Alliance Marine can obtain based on extremely difficult training regimens and basically means "certified badass"
Um, then why are you still wearing the N7 armor? You work for freakin Cerberus. You know the Alliances nemesis. Well, at least they don't speak kindly of each other. I do remember wearing it at the beggining of ME1 but I don't remember seeing any other Alliance wearing the armor. So I assumed it was for Spectres and that Bioware got lazy and didn't want to change the outfit. If only top Alliance Marines can wear it then why wasn't anyone else? Am I the only "certified badass" in the universe? I highly doubt it.
cerberus has a bunch of connections with the alliance military industrial establishment, so they might either get their gear skimmed off under the table, or just buy part of a larger lot. Cerberus maintains a lot of alliance rank structure, too.
Presumably N7 is the functional special forces designation, and since you don't interact with that many alliance soldiers period, you probably just never see another person wearing it.
Eat it You Nasty Pig. on
hold your head high soldier, it ain't over yet
that's why we call it the struggle, you're supposed to sweat
So with the DLC shotgun, should I still as a vanguard
grab the krogan shotty in the collector ship? Or get the Assault rifle so during the times where I'm not shotgunning things in the face?
I would say it comes down to a style choice. The DLC shotgun is pretty great on my soldier, but it's fire rate is ass while slow-mo'd. Now, maybe you play differently than i do, but my strategy was pick a guy at the edge of cover I can quickly get behind to dodge fire while charge recharges, charge him, shoot them in the face with the krogun and kill him, get behind cover to reload (or punch to death on the rare occasion the krogun didn't 1 shot), repeat. The DLC gun won't 1 shot anybody, so you'll need to make 2 shots straight to some mook's head, if not more, to finish them off, all while getting back behind cover.
On the other hand, as a vanguard your only real range optiona are the low ammo carnifex and burst fire with the lmg. There were a couple situations where I was really missing any sort of acceptable long range option, and AR training gives you that.
I personally, prefer the krogun, but I see the AR as a valid choice now with the DLC gun for vanguards.
