ME2 was a Michael Bay dumbed-down wannabe normie blockbuster. That anon is right, ME1 is the only good, honest to god space opera game, the last Bioware game along with DAO before it got swallowed by EA. ME2 was where everything started going downhill. ME3 was just an EA game, Bioware was dead by then.
Just get the remaster from fitgirl repacks. They updated all the combat from the first two games to be more similar to 3. I put it off for a year but it’s a great remaster (for free).
Ending sucked, but overall, I agree. Best combat (Andromeda's is better) and overall the set pieces and missions were great. Companion could be better. Better than 1, but much worse than 2 (but hardly a fair comparison).
>was fixed with the DLCs.
Why are you lying in the internet like that?
>Frick you. Mass Effect 3 was a great game and I'm tired of pretending it wasn't.
Enough with this fricking meme. ME3 was straight garbage in the first 20 minutes. >opens on a lightly lit scene, contrasting with ME1 and ME2 which both opened on a darkly lit and mysertious scene (important because it demonstrates the difference in overall tone between ME3 and the other 2 games) >first line is literally "how bad is it?" as if it to be ironic but considering how the game turned it out, its insulting >shepard is speaking without player input >you can actually pause the game and turn off the dialogue options. this is unforgivable. in order to program this in, they must have planned it in early. shows that bioware didn't actually care that choices mattered >the dialogue is generic action-film dialogue >stupid kid that shepard is having nightmares about (instead of being the virmire sacrifice) >cerberus is le bad instead of being the morally grey organisation that me2 set them up to be >those fricking sprites running in the background
yeah basically. most of ME3 was bad. people latched on to the ending because it was one of the biggest blunders, but the whole game was a shitshow.
i can only imagine what happened between bioware and EA during development
ME 3 was good for one thing. It outed the absolute morons among my gaming friends who didn't pay attention to the story at all and were only upset about the ending. The rest of us with above room temperature IQs know it was a plot hole ridden piece of shit from tart to finish.

Frick off, the Genophage arc was the only good part.
Rannoch was painfully moronic, cerberus gate crashed every fricking plot line, the plot is fricked by the Mars archive and it utterly obliterates anything interesting about the setting. The ending isn’t even the worst part of the writing compared to the fricking crucible
The gunplay and power mechanics were better than 2, but that’s about it.
>plot about a race of sentient machines who wipe out the resident species then spend literal millennia scouring all evidence of their existence from the galaxy >repeatedly missing an artefact that each race has stumbled upon after the reapers attacked, despite the reapers immediately attacking the citadel and effectively isolating the galaxy >each race working on parts of it despite not speaking a common language or knowing what it even does
It’s painfully moronic.
The prothean researchers surviving was treated as an absolute miracle that only happened due to sheer probability. The crucible is a deus ex machina that was shoved in because 2 did jack shit to advance the plot
My headcanon is that the Reapers, instead of going to darkspace, actually go purge other galaxies once they're done. Because that means there are many Citadels across the universe that the Reapers use to travel to, the knowledge of using the Citadel to wipe them out can be created by a race outside of the Milky Way. I like to think that one of these extinct races (like a million years ago) from another galaxy sent probes all across the universe with the information on how to use the Citadel as a weapon. The Prothean's version of Cerberus found one of these probes and attempted to hold the galaxy hostage just as the Reapers were invading.

Go back to your shitty forum where you belong, it sure as hell isn't here.
The game was shit from beginning to end, and no amount of cope will ever change that.
I didn't care for the Crucible either, it was pretty moronic, but realistically how else were they gonna defeat the Reapers without a deus ex machina of some kind? The whole galactic alliance or whatever fleet nearly got wiped out by literally just 1 Reaper and its Geth goons in the first game and there were untold countless Reapers in the apocalypse fleet coming after them at the end. Their entire intergalactic society was completely at the mercy of the Reapers since they controlled the mass relays as well. Without them having some kind of equally contrived "I bypassed the compressor!" moment where the good guys take control over the mass relays and I don't know, use them to launch all the Reapers back into dark space I don't see how they could have ever won without a deus ex machina.
Part of the issue is they already had a half a dozen other deus ex machinas set up throughout the series that could have given them an edge in the conflict, they didn't need to rely on a brand new plot device instead of using stuff they had already seeded into the story.
Unlocking the technology of the mass relays and using it to discover some kind of weakness or understanding about the Reapers. Yknow, something deep and sci-fi-y
Frick you and frick Bioware. I was mad when it was released, I was mad 5 years ago, I am mad now, I will always be mad. If a generator could be hooked into me and harness the power of the unbridled distaste I have for Bioware I could supply electricity to an entire galactic federation for eons.
Ironically, ME3 might be the best of the bunch.
ME1 has a ridiculous amount of false player choice. In many conversations, all the available dialogue options play the exact same lines. The player choices in dialogue are purely an illusion. The characters are fine, but pretty shallow and mostly exist for exposition. Combat is okay. It works well as the first entry in a bigger story.
ME2 has better dialogue and characters, but it fails spectacularly at being part of a trilogy, and its main plot is very, very mediocre.
ME3 has the best combat. It streamlines dialogue to get rid of the fake dialogue "options." It has the best DLC. It's the only game in the trilogy that has interesting choices for the player (besides the Rachni Queen), like curing/protecting the Genophage and whether the Geth deserve to be treated like people. The controversial Reaper lore and such is the byproduct of ME2 completely forgetting to do its job.
Ending sucked, but overall, I agree. Best combat (Andromeda's is better) and overall the set pieces and missions were great. Companion could be better. Better than 1, but much worse than 2 (but hardly a fair comparison).
>I know we're supposed to be exploring the themes, mysteries, and events established in the first game... >BUT WOULDN'T IT BE HECKIN' KEWL IF WE MADE A SPACE HEIST GAME INSTEAD??1?
2 is the worst.
Is it gonna try to adapt the games themselves or just tell a story in the same universe? Part of the initial appeal of this franchise was that you were making your own character and your own choices.
Either way it doesn't matter because I expect it to suck
>Wasn't the game ruined already?
The first two games were pretty good. The third game ruined things by making your choices from the first two games meaningless. The choices thing was a major selling point, they were all suppose to culminate in the end. The end of the third game sealed it by having the three endings amount to choosing between 3 colors with a single different line of text. Then the fourth game wasn't even made by the original studio and was a bug filled piece of shit.
We'll be golden as long as they make the show somehow based off the first two games. But more than likely they'll frick it up.
When have anyone in recent memory ever have read/played what they're adapting?
Every time they ask a writer/director/actor if they read something before being cast they say "Uhh, no, but I did TRY reading it a little before filming..."
My black friend had a Shepard that looked like Idris Elba kek. I remember when I played the first game and made a pretty good likeness of me. My cousin came over and asked me why my character looks so ugly. I still think about that sometimes when I cry in the shower, it’s pretty cool.
There was a distinct line from ME3 I remember. Shepard talks to a couple of older people who said they'd still remember the time before first contact with aliens was ever established. Start with the first Turian war.
>Shepard is a gay black man >Shepard fricks Kaiden in the ass >Ashley is portrayed as a literal Nazi and ostracized from the group for being a white supremacist >all the drama is centered around the humans >alien characters get as little screentime as possible to save on the CG budget
Ashley will absolutely be a xenophobe and a racist as well. Unless they give her role to a white male admiral of some sort. She is a white chick but kind of looked a little ethnic though so I could see them shifting that off her if they lean into her being a minority of some sort. I think we all know they’ll pull some kind of bullshit like that by now
No, because if people actually look back at the original trilogy:
>ME 1 - Starts really well but drops off towards the end. >ME 2 - Awesome Game that starts weaker than 1 but picks itself up at the halfway point to end strong. >ME 3 - Legit 95% Incredible Game from the start ruined only by the shitty cop out ending which the DLC came along too late to fix.
The real problem with 3 is that regardless of what ending you pick your choices from 1+2 never mattered - which was a real downer because you are consistently led to believe they do.
Andromeda ruined ME because it fricked up being a Midqeul to the core games and basically made EA's executives flaccid about any further ME games.
https://i.imgur.com/reLp1Xd.png
How will they ruin it?
>How will they ruin it?
Why even ask this? Just pick up the playbook and flick through it:
Femshep lead becomes Captain Marvel 2.0.
Black Actor playing Garrus pushes thinly veiled BLM agenda.
Jacks character development doesn't focus on "living weapon of mass destruction" but instead her struggles of being non-binary.
Tali relegated to "Asian Tech Guru" spawning endless "Asians r peepru too" protests
God only knows how fricking inane Grunt or Rex are going to be - no doubt being played by Batista or some other shitty wwe "actor".
Yes 10 years after ME 3 and 5 years after Andromeda.
Even then It's only because the ME Remaster was commercially successful that 4 has got the go-ahead. Andromeda blue balled EA on the subject for a long time. Even then the fanfare for the Remaster was miniscule last year, a year in which the best game offerings were "It takes two" "Deathloop" and "Halo Infinite".
Don't get me wrong I get it - It's the same with all AAA publishers. But fml EA really shafted the ME franchise; it's up there with Duke Nukem levels of incompetence.
>regardless of what ending you pick your choices from 1+2 never mattered
This is my biggest gripe with ME3 and how it was hyped up by Hudson. All of those choices in the previous titles only amounted to an increased number of resources and an after credits scene that lasted a few seconds. Other than the campaign felt unfinished. DLCs were an improvement but they didn't fix a game that was so obviously rushed. The only reason I return to it occasionally is for the enjoyable combat.
I'm still fricking mad about Mass Effect 3
I'm still fricking mad that after years of being told "your choices will matter" it just came down to seeing none of your choices throughout the games being represented and instead we get 3 endings to pick from which were just different color filters.
I'm still fricking mad that they made you share more screen time with Liara dispite if you romanced someone else.
I'm still fricking mad that your rivial is a fricking edge lord ninja that breaks into peoples homes to eat their cereal.
I'm still fricking mad that EA diverted all criticism for the game to being homophobia because they included one gay dude who only operates the transport shuttle and all his character is based around him missing getting fricked up the ass by his dead partner.
I'm still fricking mad they wasted money including e-celebs like chobot in the game than actually delivering on promises.
I'm still fricking mad that game journalists defended this game so religiously only for them to admit that it sucked years later and they only defended it because they were scared EA would blacklist them.
I mean technically your choices did matter in the previous games. Characters that had died wouldn't show up, decisions you made in the past could influence who would be willing to ally with the you against the Reapers. He didn't say that they would affect the ending though :>)
I'm still fricking mad when I think about how fricking great the ending of my ME2 story was; united a band of absolute space Chads and Stacies, defeated the goddamn Collectors and told Michael Sheen to frick himself and went rogue with the most cutting edge ship in existence.
Then ME3 starts and somehow I'm on mother fricking Earth facing a court marshal, my literal A-Team of the fiercest and most loyal warriors in the galaxy has abandoned me, and my new best friend is Dick "the guy from She's All That" Hardcheese McHuge
Mass Effect actually went full moron in the ME2 arrival dlc. That was when they started railroading you hard into moronic decisions and situations to set up the moronic shit about to happen in ME3.
I don't even remember Arrival. Was it the moronic shit where you HAVE TO kill Batarians to delay the Reaper invasion?
Well, yeah, the Reapers never should have even came close to arriving. They should've remained undefeatable godbots beyond our comprehension and your sole mission should've remained closing down their only way to enter our galaxy.
But frick nooooo they're just big ships
They tried to combine Star Trek with Call of Cthulhu and fricked up both
They should have explained that by thwarting all 3 of the Reapers' plans (use the Conduit to come to the galaxy, use the Collectors to make a new Reaper who can succeed where Sovereign failed, and use the Alpha Relay) Shepard gave them no choice but to manually "walk" to the Milky Way, which depleted some of their energy, which is why in ME3 it is possible to fight a conventional war (even if a losing one) against them, and why they aren't godlike being who just completely take over the galaxy. Or explain that all the time Shepard bought the galaxy allowed the races to prepare for the Reaper invasion. As things are, yeah, the war in M3 kind of makes 1 and 2 pointless.
No no nooo dude, they should never ever arrive. This is what ruins the Call of Cthulhu aspect. If a fleet of basically robot great old ones arrive, it should be 1000% game over for all life.
Maybe, and that's a BIG maybe, one of them could arrive. Harbinger coulda been used for that. e.g. the Reapers are almost coming through some macguffin relay, but you destroy it just in time so only Harbinger comes through and defeating just him alone takes the whole fricking galaxy teaming up and throwing everything they have at him.

And then what happens to the rest of the Reapers? How do you get closure and an ending that assures you that the characters who survived the war got to live happily ever after, when you know that these Eldritch abominations are still lurking out there?

That's the beauty of it, you don't! The immediate threat has been stopped, but no one has any guarantees for the future. How does that play out in galactic politics? What other horrors are out there? THAT'S the good stuff! See:
[...]
Defeating Sovereign in ME1 should have been the end of the Reaper threat. Their only way to the galaxy was the Citadel relay that you successfully shut down, their only way to be called to awaken was Sovereign who is now dead. Even if the Reapers did wake up, it would take them a lifetime to re-enter the galaxy from dark space at sub-light speeds. Not that anyone within the Mass Effect universe would know these are guaranteed, but on the meta level that would be the case.
Galactic civilization now knows Reapers exist, we've become aware that there are ancient horrors beyond our comprehension. Explore how that impacts galactic affairs. Some people would be paranoid of the Reapers showing up, other people might be trying to deny the existence of Reapers and insist Sovereign was a Geth spook, still other people could start studying Sovereign's remains and using new knowledge to interact with ancient technologies in different ways, there'd be fringe groups calling it all a false flag and politicians trying to leverage the events for political gain.
The Reapers never should have been the final threat of the trilogy, they should have just been this ambiguous threat that exists just outside our vision and understanding only to shake up the status quo of the galaxy and bring the player into a fresh set of galactic politics that they had a hand in the beginning of. It should have been the tip of the iceberg, not the be-all, end-all beginning and end of the whole story.

What if there was no closure and you could milk the franchise for another 20 years with worse and worse sequels? It would have made the most sense from a marketing perspective too
Instead they had to soft reboot the whole fricking galaxy and move to Andromeda
Just mull over that fact
Bioware's frickup was literally of galactic proportions

Ironically Marvel did the Reaper bit in Ultimate Marvel much better. In fact, the story came out years before ME 1, so it's very possible BioWare lifted it from there, yet still managed to frick it up. In 1610 Galactus was rebooted as a swarm of nanomachines called Gah Lak Tus which roam through the universe and consume worlds. In the end it closes around Earth and the FF/X-Men/Ultimates manage teleport a Big Bang into its core. That destroys about 20% of its swarm, so it recognising that Earth and near other alien civs are laghably weak, it simply retreats and goes towards another direction. It had a bit of a Marker thing going on too with the Silver Surfers causing people to an hero.
Something like that would've been preferable, in making the Reapers truly scary. Instead they were basic b***h robots with lasers.

Everyone builds off something else, but the parallels between UGLT and ME are suspiciously close.
I was a big fan of Ultimate Marvel back in the day, I've read this story many times. Yeah they really managed to make Galactus scary. I can see using that for the Reapers, amplifying the existential horror aspects of something this powerful and capable of wiping out life to the max. Difference however, is that ultimate Galactus care only about the Earth, and he had his Silver Surfer suicide cults and technoviruses wipe out as many humans as possible to make it easy on his "digestive system". For the Reapers it's the opposite: they use their great power to devastate the galaxy's infrastructure, but try to take as many people as they can alive for their "harvest".
My problem with the Reapers is that I never was scared of them. They were just big battleships and that was it. No different than any other low rent large aliens or battleships. Meanwhile GLT managed to build up the dread and even in the end it remained an enigma and thus kept its effect. The Reapers ended up being no worse than any dime-a-dozen villain from capeshit. There was just no atmosphere. For my money, I'd say the Leviathans gave me a bigger sense of awe simply because of how the scene was constructed, regardless of the idea itself. Execution plays an important role.

Yeah, arrival was where they cut themselves off from any wiggle room.
The ending of 2 had the reapers gearing up to move, but since dark space is fricking enormous they could have given themselves ample time for them to actually arrive. 3 didn’t even have fo feature them at all, which would have cut away the plot hole of them not rushing the citadel and shutting down the relays.
After arrival, however, the series was on a time limit. The threat went from imminent to immediate, and they had to arrive soon regardless.
After that, the main plot of ME1 got pissed out a window and it only got worse from there
They're gonna make femshep romancing Liara canon and try to make her be bros with Garrus like maleshep when instead she should be taking his weird bird dick
Good. That is the canon far as I am concerned. Garrus is CLEARLY the best bro and romance with him feels stupid.
Miranda would be kind of acceptable too. Both Liara and Miranda as the only companions that made an effort to find, help, and protect Shepard between games/when they were absent. All the others, including Garrus, frick off and go about their own lives.
>shepard is a black man who hooks up with a white woman >main villain is a white human supremacist instead of a turian >series directly references the "january 6th attack on the US capitol" as the turning point in history where humanity permanently changed >90% of humans are ugly brown mutts
She's still plenty hot, but with her popping out babies and moving into her 40's - likely mid 40s before ME formulates, it's realistic that the wall arrives by then.
Nah, I bet they'll go with default Femshep. They will probably have her hookup with another character that they cast a black guy for though though, hopefully not Kaidan because frick Kaidan.
if i was making an ME series, i would make two shepards. one would be a girl and she would do the paragon shit and the other a guy who would the renegade shit
Based, it was the one I played the most, it was perfection for the gameplay and storyline. ME3 although still good was a letdown after the build up of 1+2.
they said whatever lifeform they use to build it, it will take that shape
the real answer is i guess they wanted you fighting a giant human robot for the spectacle
That's the whole point, you either cure the krogan and doom the galaxy in a generation, or kill your based frog man friend. It's a tough choice.
An ME4 that focuses on fighting the resurgent krogan would be pretty cool. Does Wrex survive ME3 if he's not dead to begin with? Trying to negotiate with him as an old man would be fun.
If you don't cure the genophage in ME3, you are a terminal b***hboy.
Frightened of some angry frogs? What at fricking homosexual. Syrvival if the fittest, if you're that much of a c**t you deserve to be wiped out.
I bet you sided with the Quarians too. Makes sense why you don't go outside you incel, BBBAAAAAD THINGS might happen oh no! gay
He's 54 but aged pretty badly. But mainly, he's a model, not an actor. I'd prioritize someone who can act well to bring Shepard to life over someone who looks like him but has no acting ability. Speaking of which, I think the guy who played not-Master Chief in the not-Halo series would be a good pick for Shepard (setting aside his participation in the butchery of another beloved scifi game franchise).
He is a great actor, but Dafoe is too expressive to play TIM imo. He can handle serious and dramatic roles for sure but he's at his absolute best when he's flying into bouts of high emotion over something. TIM is more reserved, even when he gets angry with Shepard the most he does is raise his voice for a moment with a strong glare. Usually when you interact with TIM he's condescendingly cool and dismissive.
The ugliest most insufferable niggresses they can find, and a bunch of homosexual israelites and mulattos filling the male roles. They’ll have one white actor like Cavill they can use to shit all over and be incompetent or weak to brainwash goyim children with false memory implantation.
They'll make Shepard male and then make a brand new OC donut steel stronk wimmin POC character to upstage him in every way at every turn. The irony will be completely lost on the producers that Shepard could have just been a woman because it's a custom character because their only knowledge of Mass Effect will have been seeing male Shepard on the poster.
Anyone who likes three is a genuine moron
Every decision you made in the other games doesn't matter. The biggest examples being >Release or genocide bugs >Oops doesn't matter bugs are back and they're evil >Space Gypsy's go to war with geth or nah >Doesn't matter they do anyways >Reprogram the geth or don't >Doesn't matter they all go evil
On-top of a bad story all the way through
The crew mates they added were human.
Why the frick did we need a different human solider boy? Was Ashley, Kaiden and Jacob not enough?
No volus, elcor or hannar crew mates
A reporter, driver and assistant all new characters all human
It's a bad game. Anyone with creative vision was removed. The game having redeemable parts doesn't make it good, it just makes it worst that they knew the right things to do and refused to do them the whole way through.
The show will be bad if they don't rewrite the entire third game
>Release or genocide bugs >Oops doesn't matter bugs are back and they're evil
If you kill the Rachni queen in 1 then spare the Breeder in 3, then yes, they will turn on you
If you spare the queen in 1 she does come back and some of her children are being indoctrinated by the Reapers. If you spare her again she contributes to the crucible war effort >Space Gypsy's go to war with geth or nah >Doesn't matter they do anyways
The quarians gearing up to try and retake Rannoch is foreshadowed in Tali’s loyalty mission in 2, so no it didn’t come out of nowhere. You have the option to advise them briefly after the trial if you clear Tali of her charges, but they aren’t going to listen to you because half the admiralty board is deadset on war.
If you aren’t moronic and do things right in 2 and 3, you can broker peace between the Geth and Quarians in Priority:Rannoch >Reprogram the geth or don't >Doesn't matter they all go evil
They didn’t go evil moron, and rewriting the geth or not does have a small impact. If you rewrote the heretics in Legion’a loyalty mission in 2 then the geth fleet is stronger in 3, and the Quarians will take more damages (if you don’t side with the geth/peace), decreasing their war effort contribution. If you destroy the heretics, then the geth fleet isn’t as strong and the reverse occurs. The geth don’t “turn evil”, they’re defending against the Quarians. This is why brokering peace focuses on convincing the Quarians to stand down, not convincing the geth, because the geth are willing to cooperate.
Either you haven’t played the game or you watched someone else play it badly.
>Rachini
So no matter what you do there's evil rachini and you have to kill them >Muh war effort
So nothing substantial to the plot just a check box in a menu. Very cool >Quarians
It's not foreshadowed. I didn't say it came out of no where. Can you read? They literally ask for your advice. And no matter what advice you give they go to war. Your decision doesn't effect any part of it. >Geth
The geth literally start working with the reapers again to help there war effort against the quarians.
Have you played the game? Or have you just read a synopsis.
The games are about choice and three of the biggest decisions you make have next to no effect on the story.
considering they hate gamers and always bring up gamergate, they are going to intentionally ruin it just to piss you off and you will still pay to see it.
Since a direct adaptation won't even be on the table here is what I think a "best case" series would be following todays woke rules
Humans
Shepard will be a bumbling white male/simp like the dude from expanse but straight
Kaiden will be an Asian dude possibly gay
Ashley will be a classic white woman stacy/racist/"evil" crewmate that dies in the first season
Joker will be hispanic and the funny one aka Michael pena type
Anderson will stay the same, maybe a bit younger since part of the story will be everyone thinking he should be the first human spectre
Udina will also be hispanic but closer to white since he will be "evil"
Aliens
Turians, Asari, Quarians, Salarians, and Vorcha will be the only aliens shown.
Anything else will be "too difficult" to make work especially the Krogan
Tali will be Indian/middle eastern and the love interest
Garrus will be way more bad ass than Shep
Liara will be an ugly black unfortunately with a lot of "sass"
Season one will have the rogue spectre arc with Saren and Vorcha as the bad guys. Season finale will reveal the Geth and Reapers with shitty CGI before they decided to fund them in season 2
The "best" case for Cerberus is to have a black illusive man so they wont just be "le evil white nazis"
Illusive man will have a white wife and will be the father of Jacob and Miranda who are both mixed and alleged to be "perfect genetically"
What I actually think will happen is Shep will be a mixed/ambiguous brown girl
Kaiden will be her gay bff
Ashley will be her rival and again a white girl elitist that hates Shep for her low class birth
Anderson and Udina will be evil white guys
Joker will be a completely different character. Basically Han Solo but black. He will bang all the women on the show except Shep
Liara will be a hispanic women. Her character and all Asari wont like human men because they are too gruff and sexual. Asari women will not be sexualized at all in this adaptation.
Garrus will not have any personality and will be a silent sniper with a dark past (He was notorious killer for hire ArchAngel and is trying to redeem his evil past)
Tali will wear her mask and her face wont be revealed until season 2
The Illusive man will be a space Nazi and secretly create the Geth with the help of Anderson and Udina who are also undercover Nazis. Cerberus will be a techno cult that hates organics that aren't white humans and worships the Reapers and creates the Geth to impress them.
Jacob and Miranda will be introduced later on as good guys from the United Earth Alliance and not connected to Cerberus at all.

Yo give me an mononym to remember you by while I count off these bingo card points.
1. Hire a bunch of ugly, ineffectual actors playing roles completely off type.
2. Plenty of producer/executive decisions from people that have never played the games aimed at appealing to an audience that have also never played the games.
3. Nerf it to PG-13
4. Get someone that's never played the games but did have a cursory glance at the Wikipedia page to write the screenplay, or better yet, hire some homosexual whose favorite of the franchise was Andromeda.

To whoever convinced me to read this book because "it does Mass Effect better" in the thread several months ago, frick you. Your taste in science-fiction is garbage. This book is longwinded trash with an M Night tier reliance on unnecessary plot twists. Its too long at 600 pages (when it could easily be 300-400) and its story ultimately goes nowhere. Once again, frick you for wasting my time.
If anyone is interested with an actually good science-fiction book, seek out Blindsight by Peter Watts.
blindsight is fricking horrible, it ruined me
I haven't enjoyed any scifi as much for years now
especially ephaphraxia or whatever the sequel was called, it was impressively bad
Asari will be the best and most perfect race in the show, the matriarchal and feminine aspects of their society will be very prominent to show how much better women are at running things than men supposedly. The revelation about them in the 3rd game will be committed, justified or downplayed somehow
Same with the salarians
Terra Firma and Cerberus will be explicitly paralleled with racism, white nationalism etc.
Shepard will most likely be a woman
Krogan will be paralleled with black people, the blame for the genophage will be mostly shown to rest on the evil patriarchal militaristic turians, not the enlightened matriarchal scientific salarians
Obviously they're gonna racebend or genderbend a lot of characters, most likely Anderson
Ashley will be a racist Karen, used to attack white women
The multicultural and diverse aspects of Mass Effect's will be very exaggerated, mixed-species couples will be a metaphor for interracial relationships. People who reject this multispecies world and believe species should be more separate will be shown as evil morons and again, compared to real-life right-wingers
EVERYONE will be a mutt due to it being in the future and all
And SJW stuff aside, they deliberately won't pick writers that respect the source material, like they usually do
etc
Tbh as much as I love the Mass Effect games, they have plenty of "proto-SJW" elements already. If they were able to frick up Halo, whose world you assume doesn't leave much room for SJW exploitation, a Mass Effect show in the current era will be worse than dogshit.
why the frick would I want to watch the Mass Effect trilogy but even more pozzed and without the main appeal of the series?
I can't wait to see some woke Amazon writers story choices instead of making my own

You have to chose to let them keep doing it. Or hope that the current aliens can figure out how to stop heat death.
Maybe some bullshit work with them ending
Biotic shit is speeding up heat death
PLEASE can we have a show runner that cares about the IP? Or at least played the games? If not, you can bet your ass we are getting another Witcher and Halo.

Why do you even feel the need to ask? They ruin everything the same exact way.

>Wasn't the game ruined already?
Frick you. Mass Effect 3 was a great game and I'm tired of pretending it wasn't.
>b-but muh ending!!!
was fixed with the DLCs.
Mass Effect 1 is the only good Mass Effect game.
back to where you belong Cinemaphileirgin
Its by far the worst one. More bugs than andromeda, and it's also boring. It only works as a "dlc" to the other two games.
No, Mass Effect 2 ruined the series.
ME2 was a Michael Bay dumbed-down wannabe normie blockbuster. That anon is right, ME1 is the only good, honest to god space opera game, the last Bioware game along with DAO before it got swallowed by EA. ME2 was where everything started going downhill. ME3 was just an EA game, Bioware was dead by then.
Only sane person in this thread
Mass effect was the only one I played and it was good, not touching 1 or 2 because those ps1 graphics look painful
Just get the remaster from fitgirl repacks. They updated all the combat from the first two games to be more similar to 3. I put it off for a year but it’s a great remaster (for free).
Based and correctpilled. Only one to have the space opera feel.
ME3 was absolute garbage in story and writing. Not just the ending, which wasn't fixed at all by the way, but the whole was written like shit
t. People that didn't pick Red
ME 3 was good for one thing. It outed the absolute morons among my gaming friends who didn't pay attention to the story at all and were only upset about the ending. The rest of us with above room temperature IQs know it was a plot hole ridden piece of shit from tart to finish.
Ending sucked, but overall, I agree. Best combat (Andromeda's is better) and overall the set pieces and missions were great. Companion could be better. Better than 1, but much worse than 2 (but hardly a fair comparison).
>Mass Effect 3 was a great game and I'm tired of pretending it wasn't.
This. So many people instantly jumped on the automatic hate bandwagon.
Lemmings. It's all too easy.
>was fixed with the DLCs.
Why are you lying in the internet like that?
Frick off, the Genophage arc was the only good part.
Rannoch was painfully moronic, cerberus gate crashed every fricking plot line, the plot is fricked by the Mars archive and it utterly obliterates anything interesting about the setting. The ending isn’t even the worst part of the writing compared to the fricking crucible
The gunplay and power mechanics were better than 2, but that’s about it.
what's wrong with the crucible?
>plot about a race of sentient machines who wipe out the resident species then spend literal millennia scouring all evidence of their existence from the galaxy
>repeatedly missing an artefact that each race has stumbled upon after the reapers attacked, despite the reapers immediately attacking the citadel and effectively isolating the galaxy
>each race working on parts of it despite not speaking a common language or knowing what it even does
It’s painfully moronic.
The prothean researchers surviving was treated as an absolute miracle that only happened due to sheer probability. The crucible is a deus ex machina that was shoved in because 2 did jack shit to advance the plot
My headcanon is that the Reapers, instead of going to darkspace, actually go purge other galaxies once they're done. Because that means there are many Citadels across the universe that the Reapers use to travel to, the knowledge of using the Citadel to wipe them out can be created by a race outside of the Milky Way. I like to think that one of these extinct races (like a million years ago) from another galaxy sent probes all across the universe with the information on how to use the Citadel as a weapon. The Prothean's version of Cerberus found one of these probes and attempted to hold the galaxy hostage just as the Reapers were invading.
>Frick you. Mass Effect 3 was a great game and I'm tired of pretending it wasn't.
umm hello? Andromeda??
>Frick you. Mass Effect 3 was a great game and I'm tired of pretending it wasn't.
Enough with this fricking meme. ME3 was straight garbage in the first 20 minutes.
>opens on a lightly lit scene, contrasting with ME1 and ME2 which both opened on a darkly lit and mysertious scene (important because it demonstrates the difference in overall tone between ME3 and the other 2 games)
>first line is literally "how bad is it?" as if it to be ironic but considering how the game turned it out, its insulting
>shepard is speaking without player input
>you can actually pause the game and turn off the dialogue options. this is unforgivable. in order to program this in, they must have planned it in early. shows that bioware didn't actually care that choices mattered

>cerberus is le bad instead of being the morally grey organisation that me2 set them up to be
>those fricking sprites running in the background
yeah basically. most of ME3 was bad. people latched on to the ending because it was one of the biggest blunders, but the whole game was a shitshow.
i can only imagine what happened between bioware and EA during development
The game was trash long before the ending.
>Deus ex machina out of nowhere
Frick you and all other Biodrones.
You’re a homosexual. ME3 is pure kino and always has been.
Go back to your shitty forum where you belong, it sure as hell isn't here.
The game was shit from beginning to end, and no amount of cope will ever change that.
I didn't care for the Crucible either, it was pretty moronic, but realistically how else were they gonna defeat the Reapers without a deus ex machina of some kind? The whole galactic alliance or whatever fleet nearly got wiped out by literally just 1 Reaper and its Geth goons in the first game and there were untold countless Reapers in the apocalypse fleet coming after them at the end. Their entire intergalactic society was completely at the mercy of the Reapers since they controlled the mass relays as well. Without them having some kind of equally contrived "I bypassed the compressor!" moment where the good guys take control over the mass relays and I don't know, use them to launch all the Reapers back into dark space I don't see how they could have ever won without a deus ex machina.
>not him
Part of the issue is they already had a half a dozen other deus ex machinas set up throughout the series that could have given them an edge in the conflict, they didn't need to rely on a brand new plot device instead of using stuff they had already seeded into the story.
Unlocking the technology of the mass relays and using it to discover some kind of weakness or understanding about the Reapers. Yknow, something deep and sci-fi-y
My favorite one as well
Frick you and frick Bioware. I was mad when it was released, I was mad 5 years ago, I am mad now, I will always be mad. If a generator could be hooked into me and harness the power of the unbridled distaste I have for Bioware I could supply electricity to an entire galactic federation for eons.
based
Spotted the biodrone
mass effect 2 was the only good one
Ironically, ME3 might be the best of the bunch.
ME1 has a ridiculous amount of false player choice. In many conversations, all the available dialogue options play the exact same lines. The player choices in dialogue are purely an illusion. The characters are fine, but pretty shallow and mostly exist for exposition. Combat is okay. It works well as the first entry in a bigger story.
ME2 has better dialogue and characters, but it fails spectacularly at being part of a trilogy, and its main plot is very, very mediocre.
ME3 has the best combat. It streamlines dialogue to get rid of the fake dialogue "options." It has the best DLC. It's the only game in the trilogy that has interesting choices for the player (besides the Rachni Queen), like curing/protecting the Genophage and whether the Geth deserve to be treated like people. The controversial Reaper lore and such is the byproduct of ME2 completely forgetting to do its job.
>I know we're supposed to be exploring the themes, mysteries, and events established in the first game...
>BUT WOULDN'T IT BE HECKIN' KEWL IF WE MADE A SPACE HEIST GAME INSTEAD??1?
2 is the worst.
Is it gonna try to adapt the games themselves or just tell a story in the same universe? Part of the initial appeal of this franchise was that you were making your own character and your own choices.
Either way it doesn't matter because I expect it to suck
>ending so terrible you ruin the universe of what could've been the next major scifi franchise
Inironically doesn't matter what they do. It's over for that IP
>Wasn't the game ruined already?
The first two games were pretty good. The third game ruined things by making your choices from the first two games meaningless. The choices thing was a major selling point, they were all suppose to culminate in the end. The end of the third game sealed it by having the three endings amount to choosing between 3 colors with a single different line of text. Then the fourth game wasn't even made by the original studio and was a bug filled piece of shit.
We'll be golden as long as they make the show somehow based off the first two games. But more than likely they'll frick it up.
>The first two games were pretty good.
No. The lore was quite good, the actual game was Bioware going downhill.
Idris Elba
obnoxious homosexual propaganda, disproportionate amount of minorities, lazy social justice tropes.
the usual.
Soooo.... Mass Effect then?
Will they pull a Halo and not play or read any material on it prior to production?
When have anyone in recent memory ever have read/played what they're adapting?
Every time they ask a writer/director/actor if they read something before being cast they say "Uhh, no, but I did TRY reading it a little before filming..."
100%
It's already ruined by Bioware and EA.
Let them rape the corpse.
>How will they ruin it?
By casting someone other than Keith David to play Keith David.
Yes, some feminists were hired at Bioware and they decided the character models were too attractive so they intentionally made them look awful.
the names Shephard. Massa Shephard
This would actually be based.
My black friend had a Shepard that looked like Idris Elba kek. I remember when I played the first game and made a pretty good likeness of me. My cousin came over and asked me why my character looks so ugly. I still think about that sometimes when I cry in the shower, it’s pretty cool.
kek
>Amazon
RIP
There was a distinct line from ME3 I remember. Shepard talks to a couple of older people who said they'd still remember the time before first contact with aliens was ever established. Start with the first Turian war.
>first Turian war
Frick this would be a great setting for a show. Any other based first contact kino? Other than, you know, First Contact?
They'll follow the story acuurately
>Shepard is a gay black man
>Shepard fricks Kaiden in the ass
>Ashley is portrayed as a literal Nazi and ostracized from the group for being a white supremacist
>all the drama is centered around the humans
>alien characters get as little screentime as possible to save on the CG budget
>for being a white supremacist
she was human first, race wasn't a thing anymore
I know that, but OP asked how they'll ruin it. Did you think I considered Ashley a Nazi as well? I don't even consider her racist.
kek i guess you're right, they probably will force race politics in to a show with aliens
Ashley will absolutely be a xenophobe and a racist as well. Unless they give her role to a white male admiral of some sort. She is a white chick but kind of looked a little ethnic though so I could see them shifting that off her if they lean into her being a minority of some sort. I think we all know they’ll pull some kind of bullshit like that by now
They will never give a female negative attributes. That’ll be retconned onto shepherd or the one white male cast member
Wrex will side with you if you sacrifice the council to preserve human lives.
>What did these frickers do for your people or mine anyway?
This and gets cancelled after first season.
Ashley is a hapa.
You think either Amazon or EA actually give a shit?
White-presenting, too white
>who the FRICK are the reapers anyway???
Narratively, ME has a pretty easy store to adapt. The only way they can frick it up is if they're faithful to the games end of 2 onwards lmao.
where the frick is the Fallout show
>forgot about An drones a
Anon. I
A decade too late
they've been threatening to do this for years now, I guarantee it won't end up being made
The aliens will be too jarring to look at. White politicians will be the enemy, not the reapers.
>Wasn't the game ruined already?
No, because if people actually look back at the original trilogy:
>ME 1 - Starts really well but drops off towards the end.
>ME 2 - Awesome Game that starts weaker than 1 but picks itself up at the halfway point to end strong.
>ME 3 - Legit 95% Incredible Game from the start ruined only by the shitty cop out ending which the DLC came along too late to fix.
The real problem with 3 is that regardless of what ending you pick your choices from 1+2 never mattered - which was a real downer because you are consistently led to believe they do.
Andromeda ruined ME because it fricked up being a Midqeul to the core games and basically made EA's executives flaccid about any further ME games.
>How will they ruin it?
Why even ask this? Just pick up the playbook and flick through it:
Femshep lead becomes Captain Marvel 2.0.
Black Actor playing Garrus pushes thinly veiled BLM agenda.
Jacks character development doesn't focus on "living weapon of mass destruction" but instead her struggles of being non-binary.
Tali relegated to "Asian Tech Guru" spawning endless "Asians r peepru too" protests
God only knows how fricking inane Grunt or Rex are going to be - no doubt being played by Batista or some other shitty wwe "actor".
>and basically made EA's executives flaccid about any further ME games.
They're making ME4 right now
>They're making ME4 right now
Yes 10 years after ME 3 and 5 years after Andromeda.
Even then It's only because the ME Remaster was commercially successful that 4 has got the go-ahead. Andromeda blue balled EA on the subject for a long time. Even then the fanfare for the Remaster was miniscule last year, a year in which the best game offerings were "It takes two" "Deathloop" and "Halo Infinite".
Don't get me wrong I get it - It's the same with all AAA publishers. But fml EA really shafted the ME franchise; it's up there with Duke Nukem levels of incompetence.
>>ME 3 - Legit 95% Incredible Game from the start ruined only by the shitty cop out ending
Now this is just bullshit. ME3 was a complete mess.
>regardless of what ending you pick your choices from 1+2 never mattered
This is my biggest gripe with ME3 and how it was hyped up by Hudson. All of those choices in the previous titles only amounted to an increased number of resources and an after credits scene that lasted a few seconds. Other than the campaign felt unfinished. DLCs were an improvement but they didn't fix a game that was so obviously rushed. The only reason I return to it occasionally is for the enjoyable combat.
*Other than that,
>Batista wrex
I can only get so errect
Batista should play that jersey shore dude tho.
The usual stuff.
All superior officers were already black in the game. That doesn't leave much room for race swapping. I always thought Seth Green should be black.
Weird, my first instinct is wishing Seth Green was green.
Hey, it's another attempt to leverage brand loyalty to paper over shitty writing, great!
I'm still fricking mad about Mass Effect 3
I'm still fricking mad that after years of being told "your choices will matter" it just came down to seeing none of your choices throughout the games being represented and instead we get 3 endings to pick from which were just different color filters.
I'm still fricking mad that they made you share more screen time with Liara dispite if you romanced someone else.
I'm still fricking mad that your rivial is a fricking edge lord ninja that breaks into peoples homes to eat their cereal.
I'm still fricking mad that EA diverted all criticism for the game to being homophobia because they included one gay dude who only operates the transport shuttle and all his character is based around him missing getting fricked up the ass by his dead partner.
I'm still fricking mad they wasted money including e-celebs like chobot in the game than actually delivering on promises.
I'm still fricking mad that game journalists defended this game so religiously only for them to admit that it sucked years later and they only defended it because they were scared EA would blacklist them.
>he believed his lies
I mean technically your choices did matter in the previous games. Characters that had died wouldn't show up, decisions you made in the past could influence who would be willing to ally with the you against the Reapers. He didn't say that they would affect the ending though :>)
I'm still fricking mad when I think about how fricking great the ending of my ME2 story was; united a band of absolute space Chads and Stacies, defeated the goddamn Collectors and told Michael Sheen to frick himself and went rogue with the most cutting edge ship in existence.
Then ME3 starts and somehow I'm on mother fricking Earth facing a court marshal, my literal A-Team of the fiercest and most loyal warriors in the galaxy has abandoned me, and my new best friend is Dick "the guy from She's All That" Hardcheese McHuge
Mass Effect actually went full moron in the ME2 arrival dlc. That was when they started railroading you hard into moronic decisions and situations to set up the moronic shit about to happen in ME3.
I don't even remember Arrival. Was it the moronic shit where you HAVE TO kill Batarians to delay the Reaper invasion?
Well, yeah, the Reapers never should have even came close to arriving. They should've remained undefeatable godbots beyond our comprehension and your sole mission should've remained closing down their only way to enter our galaxy.
But frick nooooo they're just big ships
They tried to combine Star Trek with Call of Cthulhu and fricked up both
They should have explained that by thwarting all 3 of the Reapers' plans (use the Conduit to come to the galaxy, use the Collectors to make a new Reaper who can succeed where Sovereign failed, and use the Alpha Relay) Shepard gave them no choice but to manually "walk" to the Milky Way, which depleted some of their energy, which is why in ME3 it is possible to fight a conventional war (even if a losing one) against them, and why they aren't godlike being who just completely take over the galaxy. Or explain that all the time Shepard bought the galaxy allowed the races to prepare for the Reaper invasion. As things are, yeah, the war in M3 kind of makes 1 and 2 pointless.
No no nooo dude, they should never ever arrive. This is what ruins the Call of Cthulhu aspect. If a fleet of basically robot great old ones arrive, it should be 1000% game over for all life.
Maybe, and that's a BIG maybe, one of them could arrive. Harbinger coulda been used for that. e.g. the Reapers are almost coming through some macguffin relay, but you destroy it just in time so only Harbinger comes through and defeating just him alone takes the whole fricking galaxy teaming up and throwing everything they have at him.
And then what happens to the rest of the Reapers? How do you get closure and an ending that assures you that the characters who survived the war got to live happily ever after, when you know that these Eldritch abominations are still lurking out there?
If you want a feelgood story about saving the galaxy from thousands of robotic warship Cthulhus, then just don't make them Cthulhus in the first place. Just make them big warships.
That's the beauty of it, you don't! The immediate threat has been stopped, but no one has any guarantees for the future. How does that play out in galactic politics? What other horrors are out there? THAT'S the good stuff! See:
What if there was no closure and you could milk the franchise for another 20 years with worse and worse sequels? It would have made the most sense from a marketing perspective too
Instead they had to soft reboot the whole fricking galaxy and move to Andromeda
Just mull over that fact
Bioware's frickup was literally of galactic proportions
Defeating Sovereign in ME1 should have been the end of the Reaper threat. Their only way to the galaxy was the Citadel relay that you successfully shut down, their only way to be called to awaken was Sovereign who is now dead. Even if the Reapers did wake up, it would take them a lifetime to re-enter the galaxy from dark space at sub-light speeds. Not that anyone within the Mass Effect universe would know these are guaranteed, but on the meta level that would be the case.
Galactic civilization now knows Reapers exist, we've become aware that there are ancient horrors beyond our comprehension. Explore how that impacts galactic affairs. Some people would be paranoid of the Reapers showing up, other people might be trying to deny the existence of Reapers and insist Sovereign was a Geth spook, still other people could start studying Sovereign's remains and using new knowledge to interact with ancient technologies in different ways, there'd be fringe groups calling it all a false flag and politicians trying to leverage the events for political gain.
The Reapers never should have been the final threat of the trilogy, they should have just been this ambiguous threat that exists just outside our vision and understanding only to shake up the status quo of the galaxy and bring the player into a fresh set of galactic politics that they had a hand in the beginning of. It should have been the tip of the iceberg, not the be-all, end-all beginning and end of the whole story.
Ironically Marvel did the Reaper bit in Ultimate Marvel much better. In fact, the story came out years before ME 1, so it's very possible BioWare lifted it from there, yet still managed to frick it up. In 1610 Galactus was rebooted as a swarm of nanomachines called Gah Lak Tus which roam through the universe and consume worlds. In the end it closes around Earth and the FF/X-Men/Ultimates manage teleport a Big Bang into its core. That destroys about 20% of its swarm, so it recognising that Earth and near other alien civs are laghably weak, it simply retreats and goes towards another direction. It had a bit of a Marker thing going on too with the Silver Surfers causing people to an hero.
Something like that would've been preferable, in making the Reapers truly scary. Instead they were basic b***h robots with lasers.
Bioware actually ripped off Star Control 2 more than anything.
literally everyone rips off everyone else
noveria was basically alien/aliens and alien was jaws in space
what was jaws?
Everyone builds off something else, but the parallels between UGLT and ME are suspiciously close.
My problem with the Reapers is that I never was scared of them. They were just big battleships and that was it. No different than any other low rent large aliens or battleships. Meanwhile GLT managed to build up the dread and even in the end it remained an enigma and thus kept its effect. The Reapers ended up being no worse than any dime-a-dozen villain from capeshit. There was just no atmosphere. For my money, I'd say the Leviathans gave me a bigger sense of awe simply because of how the scene was constructed, regardless of the idea itself. Execution plays an important role.
I was a big fan of Ultimate Marvel back in the day, I've read this story many times. Yeah they really managed to make Galactus scary. I can see using that for the Reapers, amplifying the existential horror aspects of something this powerful and capable of wiping out life to the max. Difference however, is that ultimate Galactus care only about the Earth, and he had his Silver Surfer suicide cults and technoviruses wipe out as many humans as possible to make it easy on his "digestive system". For the Reapers it's the opposite: they use their great power to devastate the galaxy's infrastructure, but try to take as many people as they can alive for their "harvest".
Yeah, arrival was where they cut themselves off from any wiggle room.
The ending of 2 had the reapers gearing up to move, but since dark space is fricking enormous they could have given themselves ample time for them to actually arrive. 3 didn’t even have fo feature them at all, which would have cut away the plot hole of them not rushing the citadel and shutting down the relays.
After arrival, however, the series was on a time limit. The threat went from imminent to immediate, and they had to arrive soon regardless.
After that, the main plot of ME1 got pissed out a window and it only got worse from there
They're gonna make femshep romancing Liara canon and try to make her be bros with Garrus like maleshep when instead she should be taking his weird bird dick
Good. That is the canon far as I am concerned. Garrus is CLEARLY the best bro and romance with him feels stupid.
Miranda would be kind of acceptable too. Both Liara and Miranda as the only companions that made an effort to find, help, and protect Shepard between games/when they were absent. All the others, including Garrus, frick off and go about their own lives.
I forgot they could theoretically cast Yvonne Wazowski or whatever her name as Miranda in this. Have gays here ranted about her hitting the wall yet?
Hue
Has a fair point tho.
STEEEVE!
>shepard is a black man who hooks up with a white woman
>main villain is a white human supremacist instead of a turian
>series directly references the "january 6th attack on the US capitol" as the turning point in history where humanity permanently changed
>90% of humans are ugly brown mutts
>90% of humans are ugly brown mutts
This was true in the original game, it was made by canadians after all
If it exists by nature it's ruined
Race mixing and homosexuality
Was the gay dialogue just bad in ME or do I have internalized homophobia
Gay dialogue is also bad in real life
I guess I don't notice when I'm thinking about big wieners
>Adapt Mass Effect
>Can't do it before the wall claims Yvonne
She's still hot, but realistically we're talking her being 44 by the time Miranda becomes relevant. I worry..
>Can't do it before the wall claims Yvonne
Anon...
Anon I think you accidentally posted Brie Larson
Side isn't shaved. It's combed back.
She's still plenty hot, but with her popping out babies and moving into her 40's - likely mid 40s before ME formulates, it's realistic that the wall arrives by then.
Didn't they make the Halo show no one liked? I'm not even pirating this.
no, paramount made halo
This was truly the moment where BioWare passed the point of no return
From John Shepard to Jamal DeShepard
Black Shep is canon
>ayo we bout to smoke dem racist entraplanetary crackas up in dis biatch
Nah, I bet they'll go with default Femshep. They will probably have her hookup with another character that they cast a black guy for though though, hopefully not Kaidan because frick Kaidan.
The only reason they would choose femshep is to raceswap another redhead.
that sambo kiddy fricker got a Nobel peace prize? for fricking what???
t. zoomer
but I'm not, I had no interest in the coon, go frick yourself homosexual
For drone-striking all those dangerous Afghani sheepfrickers and their children
If I remember right he was given the prize a little bit before his inauguration, but I cant remember what they said to justify this.
Shift ME1 to be about cerberus, since they’re the donut steele brigade
if i was making an ME series, i would make two shepards. one would be a girl and she would do the paragon shit and the other a guy who would the renegade shit

Closet gay detected
Don't care, Mass Effect 2 was peak of the franchise
this
Based, it was the one I played the most, it was perfection for the gameplay and storyline. ME3 although still good was a letdown after the build up of 1+2.
2 is the reddit-tier, "I think I'm not bandwagon", bandwagon masses take.
2 was the most critically acclaimed of the series. It would make sense the masses would like that game the best.
It's my favorite too
I'm getting real sick of vidya-based tv shows
I have 6 or so lithographs. I want to sell them cus I totally fell out of love with the series cus of ME3. I'm gonna keep this one tho.
nice bicep man
Thanks bro
Why did they try to build a human reaper?
they said whatever lifeform they use to build it, it will take that shape
the real answer is i guess they wanted you fighting a giant human robot for the spectacle
>How will they ruin it
By being mass effect
Be honest, did you do choose every renegade option and get everyone killed?
*did you
Black folk
The mass effect games were written and developed by people who now identify as female and consider themselves at the forefront of social progress
Maybe they can bring back the writer for the first one who quit midway through ME2 and revive the dark matter plot.
>who now identify as female and consider themselves at the forefront of social progress
>now
Bioware was full of homosexuals since ME2.
If you cure the genophage in ME3, you are a terminal brainlet.
That's the whole point, you either cure the krogan and doom the galaxy in a generation, or kill your based frog man friend. It's a tough choice.
An ME4 that focuses on fighting the resurgent krogan would be pretty cool. Does Wrex survive ME3 if he's not dead to begin with? Trying to negotiate with him as an old man would be fun.
If you don't cure the genophage in ME3, you are a terminal b***hboy.
Frightened of some angry frogs? What at fricking homosexual. Syrvival if the fittest, if you're that much of a c**t you deserve to be wiped out.
I bet you sided with the Quarians too. Makes sense why you don't go outside you incel, BBBAAAAAD THINGS might happen oh no! gay
Tali is best girl
samarachads ww@???
>voiced by billie eilish's mom
such a strange piece of trivia
is there literally any reason to play the new me edition instead of the originals modded?
No, not unless you wanna give EA 50 bucks or if you're a gay who only has a PS4
Calling it now. Asari will all be transsexuals thar can be either at will and are fully functional.
>why
Because everyone wanted to frick the blue alien.
>Making asari canonically futa
Don't threaten me with a good time
>Black femshep
They'll adapt it faithfully
Black folk of course are the good guys and cerberus are whitoid demons
reapers will be hinted here and there but no budget for it so
The only thing that matters to me is that they make Tali cute. If she cute, then I am all for it.
I will watch it if they adapt the funny renegade scenes
Femshep. Or worse, gayshep and gay Kaiden.
>commander Shepard
>not played my mark Vanderpool
He's too old bro
He's 54 but aged pretty badly. But mainly, he's a model, not an actor. I'd prioritize someone who can act well to bring Shepard to life over someone who looks like him but has no acting ability. Speaking of which, I think the guy who played not-Master Chief in the not-Halo series would be a good pick for Shepard (setting aside his participation in the butchery of another beloved scifi game franchise).
that's one ugly motherfricker
Shep was handsome and charming
not my shep
Who would you pick to play him?
Deage him with CGI and he'll be perfect
Cruise is 5'8, Shepard should be at least 6'
No. If you're going to deage anyone one for the part it should be pic related.
Elliot Page in the lead role
Mass effects story was always kind of weak and its extremely liberal
What exactly is there to ruin?
you're at least given the choice between being onions or based
Who will play him?
Charlie
He is a great actor, but Dafoe is too expressive to play TIM imo. He can handle serious and dramatic roles for sure but he's at his absolute best when he's flying into bouts of high emotion over something. TIM is more reserved, even when he gets angry with Shepard the most he does is raise his voice for a moment with a strong glare. Usually when you interact with TIM he's condescendingly cool and dismissive.
>Shepard, have you thought any more about the job?
Daniel Day Lewis
mass effect is star trek for coomer midwit redditors
I started visiting this place at the peak of ME2 waifu posting around 2010,good times.
Male shep Tali romance or dead on arrival
They'll ruin it by only adapting Mass Effect 2 and making all of Mass Effect 1 into a 5-10 minute prologue at the start of episode 1.
Henry Cavill as Shepherd, you heard it here first
Unfortunately not even he is capable of carrying a series they’re intent on subverting. I love that homie and couldn’t even finish Witcher s2.
>How will they ruin it?
They'll go straight for Miranda and turn her into a mutt with no curves.
yeah the cast will be sassy black women with 500 iq
either an imagine dragons, lorde or billie eilish song with whisper singing will be in the trailer. Guaranteed.
Like everything else, in ways you can’t possibly imagine
Like they ruin everything else: lgbt & Black folk
oh no, oh god, oh no
The ugliest most insufferable niggresses they can find, and a bunch of homosexual israelites and mulattos filling the male roles. They’ll have one white actor like Cavill they can use to shit all over and be incompetent or weak to brainwash goyim children with false memory implantation.
They'll make Shepard male and then make a brand new OC donut steel stronk wimmin POC character to upstage him in every way at every turn. The irony will be completely lost on the producers that Shepard could have just been a woman because it's a custom character because their only knowledge of Mass Effect will have been seeing male Shepard on the poster.
Anyone who likes three is a genuine moron
Every decision you made in the other games doesn't matter. The biggest examples being
>Release or genocide bugs
>Oops doesn't matter bugs are back and they're evil
>Space Gypsy's go to war with geth or nah
>Doesn't matter they do anyways
>Reprogram the geth or don't
>Doesn't matter they all go evil
On-top of a bad story all the way through
The crew mates they added were human.
Why the frick did we need a different human solider boy? Was Ashley, Kaiden and Jacob not enough?
No volus, elcor or hannar crew mates
A reporter, driver and assistant all new characters all human
It's a bad game. Anyone with creative vision was removed. The game having redeemable parts doesn't make it good, it just makes it worst that they knew the right things to do and refused to do them the whole way through.
The show will be bad if they don't rewrite the entire third game
>t. didn’t play the game
>Release or genocide bugs
>Oops doesn't matter bugs are back and they're evil
If you kill the Rachni queen in 1 then spare the Breeder in 3, then yes, they will turn on you
If you spare the queen in 1 she does come back and some of her children are being indoctrinated by the Reapers. If you spare her again she contributes to the crucible war effort
>Space Gypsy's go to war with geth or nah
>Doesn't matter they do anyways
The quarians gearing up to try and retake Rannoch is foreshadowed in Tali’s loyalty mission in 2, so no it didn’t come out of nowhere. You have the option to advise them briefly after the trial if you clear Tali of her charges, but they aren’t going to listen to you because half the admiralty board is deadset on war.
If you aren’t moronic and do things right in 2 and 3, you can broker peace between the Geth and Quarians in Priority:Rannoch
>Reprogram the geth or don't
>Doesn't matter they all go evil
They didn’t go evil moron, and rewriting the geth or not does have a small impact. If you rewrote the heretics in Legion’a loyalty mission in 2 then the geth fleet is stronger in 3, and the Quarians will take more damages (if you don’t side with the geth/peace), decreasing their war effort contribution. If you destroy the heretics, then the geth fleet isn’t as strong and the reverse occurs. The geth don’t “turn evil”, they’re defending against the Quarians. This is why brokering peace focuses on convincing the Quarians to stand down, not convincing the geth, because the geth are willing to cooperate.
Either you haven’t played the game or you watched someone else play it badly.
>the crucible war effort
the designer who came up with that should've been launched into the sun
>Rachini
So no matter what you do there's evil rachini and you have to kill them
>Muh war effort
So nothing substantial to the plot just a check box in a menu. Very cool
>Quarians
It's not foreshadowed. I didn't say it came out of no where. Can you read? They literally ask for your advice. And no matter what advice you give they go to war. Your decision doesn't effect any part of it.
>Geth
The geth literally start working with the reapers again to help there war effort against the quarians.
Have you played the game? Or have you just read a synopsis.
The games are about choice and three of the biggest decisions you make have next to no effect on the story.
>WE WAZ SPACEBlack personZ AND SHITZ
I expect bunch of sheeboons, also Sheppard will be incompetent buffoon
considering they hate gamers and always bring up gamergate, they are going to intentionally ruin it just to piss you off and you will still pay to see it.
Two ways, gradually, then suddenly
Weird as frick fetishistic sex scenes and progressive propaganda in every episode
So like games then? Lol
Mass effect didn't have wiener vore and the liberal messages can be completely avoided
>core vore
Kek like the boys? Also wouldn’t interspecies relationships/sex scenes be a fetish? Lol
>core vore
what made this movie so kino and comfy bros?
haha yeah
Since a direct adaptation won't even be on the table here is what I think a "best case" series would be following todays woke rules
Humans
Shepard will be a bumbling white male/simp like the dude from expanse but straight
Kaiden will be an Asian dude possibly gay
Ashley will be a classic white woman stacy/racist/"evil" crewmate that dies in the first season
Joker will be hispanic and the funny one aka Michael pena type
Anderson will stay the same, maybe a bit younger since part of the story will be everyone thinking he should be the first human spectre
Udina will also be hispanic but closer to white since he will be "evil"
Aliens
Turians, Asari, Quarians, Salarians, and Vorcha will be the only aliens shown.
Anything else will be "too difficult" to make work especially the Krogan
Tali will be Indian/middle eastern and the love interest
Garrus will be way more bad ass than Shep
Liara will be an ugly black unfortunately with a lot of "sass"
Season one will have the rogue spectre arc with Saren and Vorcha as the bad guys. Season finale will reveal the Geth and Reapers with shitty CGI before they decided to fund them in season 2
The "best" case for Cerberus is to have a black illusive man so they wont just be "le evil white nazis"
Illusive man will have a white wife and will be the father of Jacob and Miranda who are both mixed and alleged to be "perfect genetically"
What I actually think will happen is Shep will be a mixed/ambiguous brown girl
Kaiden will be her gay bff
Ashley will be her rival and again a white girl elitist that hates Shep for her low class birth
Anderson and Udina will be evil white guys
Joker will be a completely different character. Basically Han Solo but black. He will bang all the women on the show except Shep
Liara will be a hispanic women. Her character and all Asari wont like human men because they are too gruff and sexual. Asari women will not be sexualized at all in this adaptation.
Garrus will not have any personality and will be a silent sniper with a dark past (He was notorious killer for hire ArchAngel and is trying to redeem his evil past)
Tali will wear her mask and her face wont be revealed until season 2
The Illusive man will be a space Nazi and secretly create the Geth with the help of Anderson and Udina who are also undercover Nazis. Cerberus will be a techno cult that hates organics that aren't white humans and worships the Reapers and creates the Geth to impress them.
Jacob and Miranda will be introduced later on as good guys from the United Earth Alliance and not connected to Cerberus at all.
Yo give me an mononym to remember you by while I count off these bingo card points.
call me xXxNoble6xXx
joker is literally seth green.
by going with the vastly inferior female shepard
>64.5% Paragon
Fricking homosexuals.
1. Hire a bunch of ugly, ineffectual actors playing roles completely off type.
2. Plenty of producer/executive decisions from people that have never played the games aimed at appealing to an audience that have also never played the games.
3. Nerf it to PG-13
4. Get someone that's never played the games but did have a cursory glance at the Wikipedia page to write the screenplay, or better yet, hire some homosexual whose favorite of the franchise was Andromeda.

>tali or miranda romance

>kaiden or liara romance

Heres your Joker bro
Fem Shep MC obviously
why?
the game was a generic as frick nothing burger
I could write a more interesting and compelling sci fi in a long weekend compared to this trash
Deep, well-written and interesting premises are secondhand in importance to brand recognizability, look at that turd of a Halo show Paramount signed off on
>are secondhand in importance to brand recognizability
ok I'll take the bait
name 3 things that define the ME brand.
just 3
fricking up aliens, fricking aliens and punching journalists
>Syd Mead-inspired designs and visuals
>a Star Trek-like galactic society that's not a utopia
>committing galactic atrocities for fun
Being rich does not make you intelligent.
In fact, it more likely means you are simply a terrible person who found a way to exploit idiots.
To whoever convinced me to read this book because "it does Mass Effect better" in the thread several months ago, frick you. Your taste in science-fiction is garbage. This book is longwinded trash with an M Night tier reliance on unnecessary plot twists. Its too long at 600 pages (when it could easily be 300-400) and its story ultimately goes nowhere. Once again, frick you for wasting my time.
If anyone is interested with an actually good science-fiction book, seek out Blindsight by Peter Watts.
Player of Games in the Culture Series is interesting and very short
blindsight is fricking horrible, it ruined me
I haven't enjoyed any scifi as much for years now
especially ephaphraxia or whatever the sequel was called, it was impressively bad
Maybe Morbius is more your speed
Asari will be the best and most perfect race in the show, the matriarchal and feminine aspects of their society will be very prominent to show how much better women are at running things than men supposedly. The revelation about them in the 3rd game will be committed, justified or downplayed somehow
Same with the salarians
Terra Firma and Cerberus will be explicitly paralleled with racism, white nationalism etc.
Shepard will most likely be a woman
Krogan will be paralleled with black people, the blame for the genophage will be mostly shown to rest on the evil patriarchal militaristic turians, not the enlightened matriarchal scientific salarians
Obviously they're gonna racebend or genderbend a lot of characters, most likely Anderson
Ashley will be a racist Karen, used to attack white women
The multicultural and diverse aspects of Mass Effect's will be very exaggerated, mixed-species couples will be a metaphor for interracial relationships. People who reject this multispecies world and believe species should be more separate will be shown as evil morons and again, compared to real-life right-wingers
EVERYONE will be a mutt due to it being in the future and all
And SJW stuff aside, they deliberately won't pick writers that respect the source material, like they usually do
etc
Tbh as much as I love the Mass Effect games, they have plenty of "proto-SJW" elements already. If they were able to frick up Halo, whose world you assume doesn't leave much room for SJW exploitation, a Mass Effect show in the current era will be worse than dogshit.

why the frick would I want to watch the Mass Effect trilogy but even more pozzed and without the main appeal of the series?
I can't wait to see some woke Amazon writers story choices instead of making my own

it was already ruined
What was his name again? I always forget
Hamés “light a batarian on fire in my winnebago” Vego
it's a shame cause i actually liked his character quite a bit, but his design is just so stupid looking it's impossible to take him seriously
He looks like a big dumb Mexican gym bro. That was also his character.
nah his character was a marine that went through some shit. nothing ground breaking but he had some funny lines and was likable enough. his design looks like a crossbreed between a gorilla and a rhino
Marine and big dumb Mexican gym bro are not mutually exclusive concepts
