In Progress Let's Play Mass Effect 3: Emotional Engagements

Just realised its been a while since we've seen our good friends at Cerberus. I'm guessing it won't stay that way much longer.

Oh god, this mission. It starts so well(for what it is anyway) and then goes beyond full retardo towards the end.

Yeah agreed 101%. I still can't believe I raged as much as Shepard did. Although for altogether different reasons.

Only good part of this mission is the butthurt Javik causes.

Oh, how I raged at the end of this mission. [spoilars?]
With everyone and their dog trying to cuddle Shep with "It wasn't your fault you've lost, it was Kai Leng/TIM/Cerberus", I just wanted to collargrab the fuck out of them and beat their heads against a wall for every word of "It fucking wasn't, you dolt. It was Bioware sons of whores who can't write for shit and have to induce cutscene paralysis at every turn just so their flimsy excuse for storytelling would hold together."
Seriously, that dancing faggot went down like a $5 hooker, when suddenly The Avengers can't do anything and he starts tossing them around despite biotics supposedly being blocked by shields. And with my Shep being a biotic himself and struggling to climb 3 meters...

Skipping ahead a bit, but since everyone does anyway... I raged so hard after this goddamn mission that I had to take a break from this game. Good to see I wasn't the only one. It's really telling when they have to make every character act like braindead retard to make their fucking 'narrative' work.

I don't understand why Liara was so butthurt about the religious crap. Did she actually believe that there was some supernatural goddes who taught asari all stuff and protected them with her magical shield from the meteor strike? Oh really?

Liara's Butthurt

And to top it all off,

He renegade interrupted Shepard's conversation!

That's quite something for a DLC NPC.

Only because he's a release day DLC, aka cut from the game to make more $

The running commentary is hilarious. Good job RK47.

And yeah this whole sequence was uneblievably shite.

cutscene driven BS

Don't you just love cutscenes like that ?

It's nice to see Javik interacting with one his people's legacies (though, as Javik himself points out, Liara's babbling about Shepard being identified as a Prothean is consequently completely retarded).

So, we're building the Crucible because we thought it was the ultimate anti-Reaper weapon designed by the Protheans, but as it turns out, they have no idea what it does : it's just a huge project they inherited from more ancient civilizations, who'd inherited it from even more ancient civilizations, etc. They all devoted plenty of efforts to it in the blind hope that it would somehow save them, but it didn't save any of them.
Wouldn't it be hilarious if it turned out in the end that the Crucible was some sort of huge practical joke played on organics by the Reapers for several million years ?

I'd hope the Crucible is like a bomb that solved the Reaper problem by destroying all synthetics and organics period, and allowing life to restart from the very beginning of evolution. That'd be lulzy.

Also, it's sad and all for the smurfs, but since this is in no way Shepard's fault, since he did not fail but was simply cutscened into losing, there really is no feeling of impact here.

Liara's voice actress is giving a truly horrific performance. Just awful.

I think it's because this is the first time you hear Liara going a little bit over the edge. I'll upload more vid later. She and Javik will have a little argument later on. A pointless one, IMO. And Shepard fury at joker...lol. I'd pick the 'HAHAHHA that's a good one Joker' if there is one. But there isn't any.

And having Traynor instead of EDI being the tech-wiz role is off-putting. EDI is an Ex-Cerberus AI program. She should have records of old Cerberus installations. Don't tell me she forgot all those?

Surely you don't think all of these Cerberus facilities existed in ME2, RK47? They were clearly a product of Reaper Magic, and instantly appeared out of thin air at the beginning of ME3 along with enough Air Assault Brigades to make at least a full Army and a fleet rivalling the Alliance Navy - how could EDI possibly have relevant records? I haven't even played the game, and even I know that suggestion is absurd.

From F13, we have a meltdown of people who finished the game:

You know, with the exception of #2 (which is easily explained by Cerberus and the Reapers being allies - at this point this is pretty much obvious) the rest are pretty valid plot holes. Too bad they're a drop in the ocean of Mass Effect plot holes.

I'd make a joke about plot holes reaching critical mass, but that would be way too easy.

Actually, Bio couldn't make up their minds about this one until the end. "They're allies! Wait, they're not?" is a recurring theme and will be jerking us around yet.


I should probably play DA2 after this, to gain some sanity back.
