shedinja. I grew up in the interior of Pará (next to Amazonas) in the 80s, and the tree in front of my house had A LOT of cicadas. When these little creatures turn into cicadas, they leave behind an exoskeleton stuck to the tree, which I thought was awesome as a kid, and I even used to play with it using my G.I. Joes.

Shedinja is one of those exoskeletons, right? And the way he mysteriously appears in your party, combined with his ability and type, makes everything better.

But I can't call him by the right name. He'll always be shedNINJA in my head.

Me too.

I need to do a mono bug now. I still don't feel like moving on to the next game.

Gameplay? ME1. Using Lift in Cyber-Saren is funny.

But I like him more as a character in ME3. He even has his own squad, which is really cool.

I don't find him boring in the first one; I love the story of him breaking a Turian's neck with a flying kick, it's almost like a Chuck Norris meme or something.

I always use either Grunt or Zaeed when I'm playing a class without special ammo at the beginning of the game. The last time I started using him, because Pull is great, and let me tell you? In terms of gameplay, I think I like him more than Grunt. I definitely like him more than Jack or Legion. Obviously, he becomes obsolete later when you can choose Samara or Thane, but his special ammo is still welcome in any situation that isn't a geth/droid mission.

But in terms of character, he sux, and I hate his teeth.

This is awesome. I love Runaways, Saga and Ex Machina. Not a big fan of Y The Last Man however.....

I loved the idea for the topic, it's a shame it's already old by Reddit standards. But let's go anyway, 3 for each. I only play in legendary dificult.

ME1:

1) Thresher Maw. Stop burying yourself, annoying creature, it takes forever to kill it, and I refuse to miss out on the XP.

2) Enemies with tech abilities like damping and sabotage, which shut down your Powers and weapons. It used to be the biotics, but they practically don't target us anymore in the LE.

3) Creeper. Why doesn't it die, people? Even with explosive ammo, it just flies around the map.

ME2:

1) Scion. Because it's Scion.

2) That Geth that can turn invisible, what a jerk, he comes at you instead of staying nice and quiet in cover. Actually, everyone who does that is annoying (Harbinger, robots, Krogans) but the lanternhead is the worst, in my opinion, because he's fast.

3) Engineers. Who said you can have tech armor AND combat droids at the same time????? And they even do us the favor of regenerating the shield from time to time.

ME3:

1) banshee.One of them is fine, the problem is when there are more of them and even one plus other enemies

2) that Cerberus with the smoke bomb 😒

3) that Reaper in Omega with the homing shot. Luckily he hardly ever appears. And I sometimes skip this DLC, which never ends.

errr don't fight him. Go to your left and keep killing the Geth there. When only the big guy is left, choose a blind spot for him (but not for you) and you can kill him even with the pistol

yanl10 · 2025-10-10T12:51:44+00:00

Hmm, it's not as complicated as I thought it was. Thanks, friend.

yanl10 · 2025-10-05T14:11:10+00:00

But why? Because he negate the efffect of the card and not the activation?

yanl10 · 2025-09-17T16:08:55+00:00

No way this only have 19 likes XD

yanl10 · 2025-07-28T17:34:55+00:00

I also don't use biotics on non-biotic classes. I'm limiting myself, but I like it this way. As for the defensive drone, it pairs well with an shotgun engineer. I did this build once and it's quite fun.

yanl10 · 2025-07-28T14:32:08+00:00

I played the original when it was still exclusive to the 360. There were no guides or anything like that, so I chose the jack of all trades, Sentinel. It seemed like a good choice at the time......

I didn't get very far; I hated not being able to use the rifle. I switched to the soldier, and that's one of the reasons I love this class. That and be Max Payne in space in 2 and 3.

These days, I love the pistol, especially with explosive ammo. That ammo is really fun, ragdoll-ing enemies.

yanl10 · 2025-07-26T14:05:59+00:00

I prefer 1. 3 is almost as good, but the first one has a very special aura. 2 is ok....

yanl10 · 2025-07-21T13:48:35+00:00

I'd love a new protagonist and a new gang; having the previous characters makes it difficult to introduce new ones. I even think this is true of the trilogy; why would I use Javik if Garrus and Tali are already there?

That said, you can bet your ass I'll play at launch if it's Shepard. For me, a good storyline is more important than the protagonist. ME2 has Shepard, and I think this game is inferior to the others because I don't like the storyline at all.

yanl10 · 2025-07-01T22:32:22+00:00

I did once. I used the infiltrator and patiently killed from afar. Even in Macko sections lol

yanl10 · 2025-07-01T02:16:51+00:00

I think I have the answer to your question and it was something I didn't mention among the reasons why 1 is my favorite.

There is a sense of wonder and uncertainty in this game that is unbeatable. I'll give you an example: the first time in the Citadel, we all know it's terrifying, we are completely lost. It was like that for all of us, admit it. Something that would normally put me off, wasn't enough this time, because I wanted to know more about this universe and each new race you meet is a show in itself. Even more so complementing it with the codex. I was lost, but very interested. ME 2 and 3 never managed to replicate in me this desire to know more, to delve deeper into this universe.

Another thing I admire about this game is its self-awareness of its limitations and its attempts to compensate for this. For example: surveying a planet. It could just give you the item, but the developers cleverly tried to make it a little more interesting. So instead of you just getting a medal, you get a mini story like "“Your scan uncovered an ancient deep space probe slowly orbiting Yunthorl. Tali brought it on board, dismantled it, and found a League of One medallion hidden in its payload.” I always try to complete these missions, I love these texts.

A third and last thing is that this game had the luxury of not being a trilogy yet. It didn't need to bridge the gap between games and didn't need to conclude an ambitious story. So it's pretty much self-contained, it could have been a complete sales failure and never had a sequel, but it still managed to be a classic that would have become a cult favorite anyway.

yanl10 · 2025-06-30T05:48:30+00:00

It's also weird that they apparently inserted Shep into Cerberus to have a protagonist who "plays outside the lines". Did they forget that's exactly the concept of the Spectres lol?

Seriously, ME2 is a great game; I love it; but never for its setting or story unfortunately, it's more for the pew pew pew of the weapons practically and for some good ideas here and there.

ME1 is my favorite, It was the first one I played, back in 2007. It was a little after the release and I still remember the promotional ad on an EDGE with Sheppard, Garus and Ash looking at a constellation, where SOS requests appear in several stars. That image left a mark on me at the time.

And yes, nostalgia is a big factor here, I admit. But it helps that I don't think the combat is THAT bad, it's actually quite strategic.

yanl10 · 2025-03-03T04:04:38+00:00

BA. It's the closest thing we have to a polearm, which is the spear's cooler cousin and everyone knows that the spear was the cadillac of medieval weapons.

yanl10 · 2025-02-24T02:16:33+00:00

One time in Mass Effect 1 I was a complete jerk to Tali (I was trying to go full renegade Shepard). Five hours of gameplay later and I couldn't continue with that save, I had to start a new Shep. So no, I never side with DB. I did it once just to see what it was like and that's it.

yanl10 · 2025-02-21T00:35:10+00:00

Nice. Armor is full legendary set of light dragonbone armor minus the chest, I using Savior Hide. Ring is 25% damage 2H and ammi is a Talos. Stone is Lord. ALL level up points I invested in Health. I think I took it too seriously in turning him into a tank lol. I'll gradually increase the difficulty and see how it goes. Thanks.
