Dragon Age 2 was a very good game nonetheless, really enjoyed the fast paced combat and narrative, though I did not like the repetitive environments. Still a better ending than Mass Effect 3 though, because it actually made perfect sense, although ultimately we got forced into a choice because of one idiot mage with manure and drakestone.  doh.gif

Heh. I respect those who actually liked DA2. One look at that combat system made me walk away. sweat.gif

Better than Witcher2 lor sweat.gif why i always need to kneel before the god of potions rclxub.gif

DA2's ending is 100% worse than ME3, you just have a dwarf guy saying vaguely that the party split and disappeared. You can't even save your mother no matter what you do. Whether you support mages or knights, the outcome is the same.

Potions were always an integral part of an RPG. That's not exactly a flaw of the combat system either.

You're expected to drink before each combat, and he always goes into this long animation sequence. Combat itself was clunky as fark, you either fly with quen/whirl or sink without them. But I gotta say, W2's ending had great closure, you find out about the conspiracy and also can decide the fate of the rogue witcher.

Matrix was pretty straight forward to understand...
Inception was at first, then u started to look at the possibilities from the end to the forward which gave u multi theories like how the whole movie was a dream and that his wife was right etc...
I love movies like that (just like Memento etc) but what ME3 did was different...

The ending goes against the theme of ME3 and all u as Shepard has been fighting for...
the last 1 hour in a way doesn't feel like a ME series game...
you squad and interaction with them just totally disappear, heck they can mysteriously end up in the normandy =.="

It is not about braining it, just that everything feels so out of place...
Imagine u watching LoTR and when Frodo finally gonna destroy the ring after beating Golumn (can be TIM from ME lolx), the spirit of the ring spoke to him and gave him the 3 choice - use the ring and rule, destroy the ring, or be one with the ring...
every foundation u built up to the final ending just went down the drain lolx...
and yeah after tat decision, u get a 2 minute footage of maybe Aragon and Gandalf trolol...

I just finished ME3 2 days ago and this...I couldn't said it better myself. The scene where Normandy and her crew travel through Mass Relays at the final scene is soooooo out of place it doesn't make sense rclxub.gif

What the heck is Normandy doing traveling through the Mass Relays?? I thought it was part of Sword?? And Liara..she was with me for the final assault...

Combat wasn't clunky. You just couldn't mash through it like most games these days. Initially, I thought wtf is wrong with the combat also but then I realised I needed to time my attacks and plan them properly, I couldn't get attacked from behind, I couldn't deal with a billion enemies at once and I can't charge into battle against a monster bigger than me and expect to win without planning. Furthermore, you are expected to drink, but it is not even necessary to drink unless you're playing on the hardest difficulty. Right now, I'm playing the Witcher 1, and the only potions I ever drink are the occasional Cat and Swallow. I never used Quen much, if you time your attacks properly then your enemy won't even have a chance to attack, Quen always broke in one hit against anything that mattered anyway. A properly placed Yrden here & there and a properly positioned Geralt is a happy Geralt.

In any case this is very off-topic. If you wanna talk clunky combat system, then the Witcher 2 does not have one. Period. The thing is, it's not like you have to drink a potion every 5 minutes either. Potions in the Witcher last for several game hours at a time. The game is difficult, no denying that but it sounds like you never really learned how to play it and simply found a way that some what worked and you're blaming the game for not making it easier for you. sweat.gif I don't know, maybe you're right, I didn't play the Witcher 2 past the first chapter since I hadn't played the Witcher yet which I am doing now.

There's a VERY good thread here if you're interested in reading a PR insider's perspective on BioWare/EA PR stunts.

I recommend having a brain of at least a 21 years old. tongue.gif

No lah, ME3 ending was wayyy worse. The whole ending scene was forcefed to us, just a 5 minute cutscene and 3 choices at the end. Worst of all, we have no idea why we have to make the choice. The purpose of the reapers is an unjustifiable paradox. The reapers say synthetics are evil and will always turn on their creators, yet we managed to get the geth on our side to battle the reapers. Peace between organics and synthetics is attainable, but for some reason, we couldn't bring it up as an argument when we engage in a conversation with catalyst.

DA2's ending on the other hand was well articulated, we know why we had to choose between the mages and templars. And it foreshadowed the setting for Dragon Age 3. drool.gif

Think about it this way.

Let's say ME3 ending scene was just Garrus sitting on a chair in dark background explaining that every Normandy member split off and disappeared.

Hmm... and I thought Todd Howard was the greatest liar in the gaming industry..

Beginning, yes. Middle, yes. End.... not so much.

“[The presence of the Rachni] has huge consequences in Mass Effect 3. Even just in the final battle with the Reapers.”

Rachni only helped to build the Crucible. They never made an appearance in the final battle.

QUOTE
“I’m always leery of saying there are 'optimal' endings, because I think one of the things we do try to do is make different endings that are optimal for different people “

Lets see, there are 7 different endings, which are just minor variations from the 3 major endings. Oh and different colors too tongue.gif

QUOTE
“And, to be honest, you [the fans] are crafting your Mass Effect story as much as we are anyway.”

Unfortunately, no. Two lanes, but still the same road.
