I can't be Renegade to my crew. They're all kickass.

Who the hell ever thought that wireless controllers were a good idea, anyway?

People who actually play games in their living rooms?

Which looks like pretty much everyone because they're insanely popular. Also it's Illusive Man, not Elusive Man, no multiple interpretations or anything.

I JUST BEAT THE HUMAN REAPER. THEN SHEPARD SAYS SOMETHING LIKE "WHAT'S YOUR STATUS, GROUND TEAM?" AND THEN MY GODDAMN GAME FROZE.

so yeah, playing my infiltrator through a second round of the game and found out I can't get the Widow rifle because I tried to diversify by taking an assault rifle in my first playthrough.

fuck

on the final boss. Any one else feel it both came out of left field, while still being predictable? I mean soon as I saw it I knew I'd have to fight it, but thats because I played enough games to know I'd have to fight it for no reason, but to have a big final boss battle even though there is no reason for it to attack

After Metal Gear Solid, nothing is a surprise anymore.

Well I finally beat it.
Everyone survived. Everyone. Even every last person on the Normandy crew. I was actually sincerely disappointed at how easy it was to keep everyone alive. The one true moment of suspense was actually early on, when I had Legion as the techie and listened to his updates while turning on the cooling systems. That entire portion of the game was just tense as hell, and probably my favorite part of the final sequence: I had Garrus and Tali with me, Harbinger was shouting his taunts, Legion and Jacob (my fire team leader) were both in life-threatening circumstances. In fact, by comparison the final boss was actually kind of lame -- not difficult at all to defeat.

I kept Garrus and Tali in my party through the entire Collector base. It just felt right. And words will not be capable of expressing my disappointment if Bioware doesn't bring 'em back in ME3. It's strange how, despite genuinely liking the rest of the cast, I would be comfortable if only three characters returned (Garrus, Tali, Mordin.) But those three characters absolutely have to return as squadmates in ME3 -- if they don't there will be hell to pay.

After playing through Tali's loyalty mission I think it would be impossible for any male Shepard to choose anyone over her. I was debating my romance options for some time but when you get the Paragon interrupt to hug Tali after learning about her father it's just like, fuck, none of the other women remotely compare. I actually felt bad for Jack and Miranda because they were pining for my Shepard and their undeveloped, boring human asses didn't stand a chance.

I'm just sad that the trek is over. It was a beautiful, beautiful game. Given how widely divergent the paragon and renegade plotlines appear to be this time around it's difficult to imagine exactly how Bioware's going to approach ME3.

This is all true 100%, but I just want to say...
