    Vanguards are w u s s i e s

    yeah, for people who run head long into danger and use skills that actively lower their defences, they sure do fear a lot of things.

    Things vanguards fear:

    Turrets.

    Banshees.

    Things vanguards do not fear, but probably should:

    Everything else.

    no.

    Vanguards only fear Brutes, Atlases and Banshees

    I've personally charged two turrets on Silver and came out just fine so I guess it just takes skill

    8-)

    (this is a lie Vanguard takes seriously no skill you just need to mash two buttons and you can't die except for from one hit kills)

    Brutes and Atlases?

    You crazy? Brutes and Atlases are chumps.

    You can detonate fire explosions with Incendiary Ammo + Charge.

    This is what we call the Brute Special, and clearly Zay is terrible for not knowing this.

    so hey that ending was pretty bad, yeah

    to this game that is

    but really this game ended, for me,
    when I got to watch tali leap to her death. i saw that paragon interrupt there, and chose to ignore it. three whole games it took for me to get her to kill herself. plus, as an extra fuck you, I chose the red option in the end, killing all geth anyway.

    I absolutely adored all the gameplay, and Javik was just amazing, but Joker, of all people, stole the show for me with two things:
    the joke-off with Garrus and, him telling Shephard to go fuck himself essentially, after Thessia was destroyed. @takyris if you wrote the second one you are good at your job.

    other thoughts:

    - I was super bummed that Morinth just shows up as a Banshee you kill in London. She was integral to team Space Dicks in Mass Effect 2 and you just kinda kill her and read an e-mail from her, a quick note on the liara's terminal, and that's it. I figured she might've shown up trying to save her sisters, but nope.

    - The only guns I used were the Tempest SMG, the Eagle Pistol, and the Geth Pulse Rifle. In between charges was just a constant stream of fire bullets.

    - I know this wasn't going to ever work or be considered or do anything in the long run, but I wish I got some payoff for being a complete dick to everyone except the reporter so she'd make me look good on tv. I even banged her lumpy face. I need to be rewarded for thinking outside of the box when it comes to being a jerk. I also wish that, after all the time I spent deliberately cockblocking Joker by telling EDI it is utterly wrong for her to bang him, that there was also an option to romance her.

    - having legion dead in my playthrough was actually better than having legion proper, in my opinion. it was so much fun arguing with the VI that yes, he was, for all intents and purposes, legion. that he had to die to make tali jump to her death made me very sad.

    - A lot of people make a big fuss over the ending taking away choice and therefore a lot of the things you do didn't matter, it was all a readiness thing and whatever, but I was even more bummed after finding that damn fossil for the citadel guy and locating the elcor military that, I did not get to see even a single second of Elcors with Guns on their backs and Krogans riding dinosaurs into battle in the final cutscenes. I did not do those fetch quests for no damn reason. I wanted to see that, even for a split second. That bothered me more. I am not doing a fetch quest for something stupid to add to my army if I don't get to see it in the end. Especially if it was something as cool as that.

    Just picture it. Shephard rolling into battle with Garrus and Javik (the only cool crew members this time around, fyi) and being flanked by Wrex and Grunt on war dinosaurs

    and behind them are elcors with friggin' guns on their backs.

    I went to a lot of trouble to get all these jerks on my side, and I know it's a big war and Earth is an entire planet, and the actual feeling you get playing the London mission is fantastic, but on the ground, I didn't get to see a dang bit of what I gathered up. None of Jack's troops. Didn't get to see Zaeed cheat death again. Didn't get to see any of that. I amassed an intergalatic army, and though this is Shephard's story, gimme something, man. Give me a payoff for this recruitment drive. Mass Effect 2 did, so why drop the ball on what you already did perfectly last game?

    maybe I should try this multiplayer now

    I take it back.

    Zay is just marginally terrible at Mass Effect.

    TLB, however, is on the level of Space Hitler.

    The game freezing just before wave 9 on silver was a shame.

    joker steals the show in every mass effect game

    this is not new information

    also, regardless of how supposedly bad the ME3 ending is, it has already made all that up 2 or 3 times over with individual scenes. Just finished up Priority: Rannoch. Yeah. Fuck yeah.
    I don't know how it would have gone down without the Tali romance but the dialogue between her and Shep was pretty fantastic. Bioware has gotten much better at romance dialogue since Mass Effect 1, or at least, so far. Haven't done any of the other romances yet.

    i liked the ending

    a bunch

    could be because i was expecting just a 20 minute fmv of a fat guy taking a dump or maybe shepard defeating the reapers in a hot dog eating contest

    or something

    but it was pretty good
