@csl316: Calling bullshit on 3 being game of the generation, that argument only works if you consider 3 in the grand scheme of the overall trilogy. Game of a generation is for something that stands on its own merits so if you apply this to ME3 as a sole game, it's basically a decent third-person shooter with lite RPG elements and limited dialogue options like I said. When you take 2 as a standalone game, you're thrown into an expansive galaxy with what is the best cast of characters you'll ever get to meet and assemble for a suicide mission at the end. Each character has their own back story to explore and complete a large side mission. At the same time you're establishing Shepard's own identity as he interacts with the greater threat and his/her allies.
ME3 skates on being an incredibly linear shooter with not near as much dialogue options as the first two games just because you're basing your past experiences and character development in said first two games. The huge weighty options only have an impact on you if know the franchise's history otherwise they're just bombastic set pieces coupled with an OK story, ex machina BS to defeat the big bad, and a convoluted ending that had to have further context patched in later after launch along with huge story DLC that filled in massive plot holes on the Reaper/Ai origins.
Only reason why I popped out this essay is because I recently wrapped up a new play through of the whole trilogy with my gf. 3 isn't as bad as I thought based on my original playthrough at launch, especially when playing the games back to back, but the quality of the writing and dialogue options which the series kept me along for where of a noticeable lower quality than the first two games.
Not really on board with Vinny's idea that 2 is in any way better than one. His criticisms of 1 are off point and he presents them as "everyone says this" but its not true.
2 is a major step down and one the biggest sequel disappointments in the history of video games.
Kind of a "Dan Rykert" expression style you got there.
My reaction also
but seriously if we were talking about ME3 then what he's saying would be way more accurate because 3 is more of a third-person shooter with lite dialogue choices than a full blown RPG.
I think the easier explanation for Goten's birth, and honestly also Gohan's, is that Chi Chi either milks him for his seed while he's conscious or more likely when he's asleep.
