We need a consensus non-Shepard Mass Effect character to rally. Is Garrus the clear choice?


Tali might be more popular among the fans.

As someone who really doesn't have an ounce of love for Tali, I will admit she is probably the strongest non-Shepard ME character.

I don't think there would be a significant difference in strength between Garrus and Tali. Either would be good. Personal preference is Tali though.

Earthquakes should be winning this

Earthquakes are so unpredictable and deadly..you never get time to run or hide and can cause Tsunamis.

I would expect some interesting trends today because certain natural disasters are very rare or unheard of in certain parts of the world. Like, you wouldn't expect blizzards or tornadoes in Hawaii, but tsunamis are the only real threat to Hawaii.

Tornados are probably doing well because it's Tornado season and the US has had a few of them recently. Had a huge earthquake or hurricane hit the country those would probably be winning.

#375 | -LusterSoldier- | Posted 3/20/2012 9:22:52 PM | message detail
I think today's poll might say something about the demographics of this site. I remember someone saying something about how we aren't attracting younger users because they are too hooked on Facebook to check out that many sites outside of Facebook.

Compared to last year, "Yes, more often than any other site" is doing about 2% worse while "Yes, I keep in touch with my friends there" is doing about 2.5% worse. On the other side, "Yes, but only occasionally" is doing about 2.5% better.

It's still a little early in this poll, so the results could still change somewhat.

I think Dark Samus would do better than the MGS people by a lot.

So would Epona.


On what basis are we suggesting that Dark Samus might be stronger than Psycho Mantis and/or Sniper Wolf?

The vote total does not seem to indicate there is any significant rallying going on.

Bioware already said they will sort of change the ending, not that I care at this point. I have already lost all interest in this game, and I have a huge number of games I want to play. I will make Bioware aware of my anger when they release their next game, which I am not buying.

Those are the topics so far about the poll.

As for the rallying, it seemed to die down after 3:00 AM. Part of the reason why the first option is losing percentage is because of the US, but it's also losing percentage in Europe. I remember the first option having over 40% in Europe early in the poll because the few votes that were coming from Europe were easily influenced by any late night Europeans voting in poll because of the topics on the Bioware forums.

No, there wasn't. We had a poll about the "Steam Box" on the day of ME3's release date. Apparently Bacon thought it was more important to have a topic about the rumored "Steam Box" than a "Got Mass Effect 3?" poll.

Even if we disregard the ending I would still vote for Skyrim over ME3 without much thinking.

The ending overshadowed the other problems ME3 suffer from, like the terrible side quests system, lack of enough dialogue options, some bad squad characters, lack of interesting planets to explore without being in a battle, lack of epic moments (like becoming a specter in ME1 ) poor controls, not enough enemy variety, etc its just a mediocre game.

Yeah, I don't recall encountering those problems in my playthrough.

Or I should say some of those weren't a big enough deal to detract from the overall experience.

But the "lack of epic moments" complaint is LOL-worthy

You mean not everyone have the same opinion of the game as me?! ludicrous !

There are several reasons why this turned to be such a big debacle. First, the hype for the game was massive, so naturally the disappointment that followed was also gigantic.

Second, Bioware flat out LIED about the ending not being "A, B or C" and then we get a Red/Blue/Green ending.

Third, this is not just one game, but an entire series, people invested hundred of hours and hundred of dollars, so they are pretty pissed that their journey came to such an abrupt, absurd and nonsensical end.
