The child is clearly Shepard's manifestation of loss, inadequacy, fear, and regret. That and Bioware spent a lot of time on the model and really wanted to get its money's worth out of asset recycling. I just assumed the device had its custodian take a form more familiar to Shep (see; Contact).

Sometimes when the galaxy's at stake you need to put all your points into the Wetnurse talent.

I liked the ending I chose a lot (even if YouTube shows me the only cinematic distinction between it and the others is a palate swap), I just wish there'd been more of it. DLC for the conclusion of a story just seems wrong, and I can't see any meaningful way they can implement it without feeling like…

I didn't know what everyone was so upset about with the Mass Effect 3 ending... Until I just beat the game. (*****SPOILERS*****) Nothing like playing a trilogy for a hundred+ hours, at times listening to in-depth conversations about trivial elements of intergalactic life for tens of minutes on end, and then upon…

Exactly. Bringing Zaeed or Kasumi along didn't result in comments on them from passersby or significant background dialogue. And they certainly didn't have long diatribes about the ongoing plot developments and races even if you picked them up as early as you could.

Javik definitely feels like he was stripped from the game in how he comments on just about everything meaningfully, and how everyone interacts with or speaks of him. I understand they may well have slipped his snippets in retroactively, but I wouldn't want them to, because that just makes it feel even more like I've…

Yeah, who said the customer was always right?

Ashley's been dead for me since 1, which is fine because I hated her. I really liked Kasumi (for a human), Thane, Legion, Mordin, Wrex / Grunt. Miranda and Liara were passable. Jacob and Zaeed and Kayden were bland twats. I've never been a fan of Tali (her Russo-Germanic-Yiddish voice sounds like nails on chalkboards…

I think I'm maturing as a human, and it's reflected most visibly in my behaviors in Mass Effect. In the first game, I had my female Shepard romance Liara because I was filled with puerile glee at the prospect of girl/girl romance unfolding in front of me. With the second, in absence of any female candidates I found…

You had me at "ripping off underwear."

Lots of negative comments here. (Spoilers ahead?)

I've been playing Abyss 3D and half the time I had to keep a Faq open (something I haven't done in years) to make sure I wouldn't be arbitrarily locked out of events and sidequests at certain points. Not fun.

Ah, humans, the natural order of life closest to the planet, bleeding it dry of its resources. No reason for the lifestream to will that out of existence. And since the game doesn't show any evidence of human life in the ending, it must mean they flourished. Gotcha.

I think we're not communicating. Humanity was an unnatural parasite on the planet, and it willed humanity out of existence in favor of the natural order, like Red XIII.

Are you suggesting that Red VIII is grouped into the same category as humanity? Why does seeing Red VIII mean that some people survived?

It's been a decade since I've last played it, but there're some bits about how the will of the planet was to negate human lives who were reliant on its lifeblood. It would make the choice between letting humans live or die. I took exclusively showing Red XIII to mean that life went on to thrive, but the planet willed…

Listen to the song in its entirety, I just took the lines from the author's demand portions. Mario RPG and Chrono Trigger are easily two of my favorite games of all-time, but you won't find success raping nostalgia the way all their post-VII nonsense did. It was all trash - the movie, the games, all of it. The way I'd…

Nothing would make fans happy, accept it. Speaking of which, man Vega sucks. I need to download that From Ashes nonsense just to get someone in my party I don't constantly have the urge to throw lift grenades at.

This song is what's wrong with fan demands, and why the quality of Square's product has completely tanked. "Bring back Sephiroth! A sequel to Seven! Bring back Kefka! A sequel to Six! Make a game like Elder Scrolls! Make a game like Game of Thrones! Have Coldplay score a Mario RPG sequel! I love Clocks! Collaborate…
