i agree with OP and some other guys in this thread. we're are barely getting any new content nowadays and when we do get something, it's kinda meh. don't get me wrong, i still like giant bomb a lot. i'm just sad that such a great website is so boring lately (i'm not counting the bombcast 'cause it's still awesome imo).
also, some of the giant bomb defense force replies are AMAZING. still settling in the 'new' office, after being there for 4 months is probably my favourite :D
Your not wrong to say it's a bad deal but damn if I wouldn't like that Mona Sax skin. Been playing a lot of multiplayer and the Mona skin would be fantastic.
Patrick, I have a really hard time believing you're with us on why the ending is broken when you clearly attribute our collective ire to aspects we don't really care about and have no qualms with.
I find it particularly alarming that you've given so much credence to Jensen's opinion, which is based solely on second hand information. Consider that for a moment. You went into a discussion with someone who had a preconceived notion of the issues at hand based solely on second hand information at best. Regardless of whether his conclusions align with your own, does that sound like reasonable journalism?
this.

I'm sure everyone remembers the ending to Shadow of The Collossus. That was a bittersweet ending that is praised by the majority, to this day.
On almost every gaming site and podcast, I'm hearing enthusiast press call the disappointed fan-base, "entitled" or "ignorant". As stated in soooo many comments preceding mine, this is simply NOT the case. ME3 breaks it's own lore in more ways than one. Even if the indoctrination theory holds, that means they meant to either charge or give DLC for the ending. This is also disgusting and counter to everything ME is.
Sorry Patrick, your article reeks of "journalist" navel gazing. I still love ya though.
and this.
thanks guys for writing down everything that i was thinking :) cheers.
also i don't see a problem in people constantly using the biotic charge. it recharges your shield so it's super useful. and charging a banshee is a legit tactic. you shoot her a bunch and when she's throwing the projectile you just charge her. then you just repeat the pattern.
And as frustrating as it might be for some people, it's also totally the crux of that class. A Vanguard that isn't using Biotic Charge frequently is basically just a weak version of the Adept. It's hard to begrudge a class for using the ability that really makes that class.
exactly. is the best thing about the class and also it's biggest weakness.
and most of the times you see someone not at the extraction point at the end of round it's probably going to be a Vanguard.
i play as a vanguard and i never go to the extraction point because there is no point in doing that. sitting in that zone and getting raped by enemies is a pretty stupid idea. i usually go to the opposite side of the map and in the last 30 second run back to the LZ. sitting in the zone for 2 minutes is pointless and people doing that are probably not vanguards ;d

My point exactly. It'll be fun to see once Bioware nerfs your OP class, and trust me they will, because then everyone will stop playing like jerks and either play as some other class or start playing like a proper Vanguard.
it's a co-op game right? so i'm still helping the other players by killing stuff. there is no OP class. every single one is viable and makes sense in different situations. i'm confused by your logic. rooting for vanguards to get nerfed... it's my fault you can't kill stuff? and playing like a 'proper vanguard'... what is that play style like? please enlighten me, mr. YOU'RE PLAYING THE GAME WRONG BECAUSE YOU'RE NOT PLAYING IT THE WAY I WANT YOU TO!!!!!

Jeff's laugh in this video is killing me every single time. The clip is a minute longer than 40s, but i'm just talking about a specific part (00:50-01:30).
Again, i know this one is a little bit longer than 40s (52s), but it's one of my favs.
Oh Vinny. This is video proof that he was always awesome :D
