So I got this game yesterday, and am enjoying it so far. Decided I was going to play as an utter bastard, and so would just be killing random people when I could get away with it.

I killed Dr Tran with Niles in the group, which caused him to lose his shit and literally set himself on fire to try and kill me. I decided I wanted to continue down this doomed path I created, but I just have to ask: how much have I fucked myself over in doing this?

What are people's thoughts on it? I watched it recently and felt kind of annoyed when it was revealed it was all a hallucination akin to Back To Reality. I feel that considering it was the first piece of Red Dwarf media in ten years it shouldn't have been so reliant on an episode from about fifteen years earlier, and it also just felt that the writers were trying to be clever with the whole "oh the show's real and the real world isn't" bollocks. But what are your thoughts?

Let me know and I'll drop my gamertag.

Hi, I'm the guy who posted a few weeks ago about having finished Mass Effect 2 while managing to get Thane, Tali and Legion killed in the suicide mission. I continued on in that particular timeline which made the quarian and Geth plot... interesting, considering two of the important characters for the plot were dead.

I enjoyed the game. Everyone always said that Mass Effect 3 was crap and the worst game in the trilogy, but I honestly really enjoyed it. Sure there was stuff that didn't work because of the rushed development, and the last ten/fifteen minutes kind of suck because of the giant lore dump, but it's still a fun time.

It was interesting seeing the results of choices I'd made in the prior two games come about in this game. For example, I spared the asari scientist on Virmire, and I then found out in this game she was indoctrinated and killed a bunch of people before killing herself. Also because I messed up on Virmire I got Kirrahe killed, and in ME 2 I got Thane killed, meaning Kai Leng managed to kill the councilor on the Citadel.

In total, the squad members who died were Kaidan in ME 1, Thane, Tali and Legion in ME 2, Mordin and Cortez in Mass Effect 3. I played mostly Paragon throughout the series with a few Renegade options throughout (for example killing the Batarian terrorist in Bring Down The Sky even though doing so gets the hostages bombed, killing Petrovsky in the Omega DLC and killing the clone and Brooks in the Citadel DLC after going on a rant about how Shepard's going to take both their heads).

Don't worry, I didn't kill Mordin, he cured the genophage.

As for the ending, I picked destroy since the idea of controlling the Reapers just sounds stupid and I didn't have the option for synthesis, nor did I feel like hitting the refusal button. However while I was over the minimum number of war assets to not essentially destroy the galaxy, I was not at the required number of assets to actually survive. So Raymond Shepard died saving the galaxy.

(Also picking the destroy ending made me feel kind of bad about picking the Geth over the quarians, since the quarians died for the Geth to live, only for them to then die like a week later).

So that was fun. I'm going to start again all the way back with the first game with a different character and background. I was a Colonist Sole Survivor for this character, whereas for my next one I think I'll be a Ruthless Earthborn. I'll be interested in seeing what changes.

Really good game. The whole building up your team to do this impossible mission is a really cool idea, it really makes you care about these characters.

​

Which makes the fact I got Tali, Thane and Legion killed really sting.

​

Did all the DLCs. Realising Simon Templeman played Dr Archer in Overlord was really cool, Arrival was cool in theory but has numerous plotholes plus being on your own fighting endless enemies for like 95% of the DLC was pretty annoying. Still, the cutscene of the asteroid hitting the relay and wiping out thousands of batarians was pretty sobering, plus I liked the visual of the relay almost looking like it's trying to push the asteroid away.

​

Started Mass Effect 3 immediately after finishing Arrival. From what I've played it's definitely the smoothest in regards to gameplay. Hope I enjoy it.

I've never played a Thief game other than about ten minutes of the 2014 game that I didn't much like. But I've always thought the original game sounded fascinating, and it's something I've always meant to play but never got around to it. So hearing about the remaster has me pretty excited to give it a go and see what it's like.

Okay, so I think we can all agree that Frank breaking out of Fisk's detention centre and apparently just leaving the other prisoners behind is stupid bullshit, right?

Well I realise this is probably BS as well but I have a theory about this. Considering all we see in the post credit scene is him getting out of the cell, my thought is that he was initially planning to save the other prisoners but got swarmed by AVTF and basically had to run or die.

With regards to why he didn't go to Daredevil or Karen and say "hey Fisk's prison is over here", we saw that he'd taken a pretty bad beating earlier, including (I believe) a bunch of head injuries. It could be that those injuries lead him to the state he's in in OLK, hallucinating and all that.

Of course, the question is when did the Punisher kill the Gnuccis - before or after he got caught by the AVTF? Because if it's after, then my theory goes down the toilet.

I realise this probably isn't considered great considering the sub I'm in, but I got a two-door Mitsubishi Colt after about fifteen months of owning a VW Passat estate and I much prefer the smaller car. I don't really need a big car since I usually only have one passenger at a time in my car, and the extra space when I'm parking is so much better.

I do need a car before people ask, as I deliver for Dominos and my store doesn't do staff cars. But smaller is definitely better.
