You can't one shot kill enemies with any sort of defense. Of course for some reason they made a LOT of undefended enemies in ME3 as opposed to ME2 Insanity where practically everyone had a secondary layer of defense.

Though i will admit if there is one class that can do it, its infiltrator, and sometimes soldier.

The game is waaaay more fun if you dont use sniper rifles though.

Guess I should ahve celebrated 6666 post count.


Yeah I've only played as soldier in multiplayer and it feels really bland, just pumping guys full of lead.

Like we agreed on a few pages back, Asari Adept/Salarian Infiltrator are in the end the best classes. If you're just looking to have fun, then Human Vanguard is a good choice.

Running Infi on Insanity with a max out Black window and Liara for stasis, headshoting everything to death has his charms too.
I never like the other classes that much, because i actually like to have to aim. ( My playthrought as Adept was hilarious, you just spam pull throw everything lol )

Yeah I kinda wish enemies in ME3 had more secondary defenses. Being able to use powers on an enemy without having to strip them of defenses is kinda silly.

I absolutely hated that part in ME2. EVERYTHING had shields/armor/barriers on higher difficulties.
Was so bullshit.

Everything with armor was a bit annoying.
But so much without is kinda too easy.

My Infi didn't give a damn, but for biotic it's either too easy or a pain in the ass.

The problem was that with all the shields and stuff going around on harder difficulties, CC abilities like singularity became completely useless, only direct damage stuff that does good damage to a certain armor type was worth using.

Invalidating half your skills is a terrible game design decision.

None of your skills were invalidated. You peaked out, nullified the defense, then use your control biotics to control the enemy while you move onto the next.

Armor enemies were fine. Incinerate ammo or warp ammo it up and use incinerate. Incinerate does crazy damage to armor, ME2 and ME3. Warp is also a good spell.

IIRC Miranda was OP as fuck in ME2 because she had overload, incinerate AND warp. And ALSO had a group buff that also buffed Shepard, shit was off the hook.

beyond the fact that the ending of ME3 is just bad from a structural point of view, I think the biggest problem with it is + Show Spoiler +
that it basically negates any post-Shepherd story to be told in the ME universe where you could travel across the entire universe. The end of ME3 basically set the entire universe back into the stone age as far as interstellar travel goes. So I guess that means that any new ME game has to be a prequel or concurrent with the events of the Shepherd trilogy. ..which I think sucks.

Oh I'm sure George Lucas can come out of retirement and make a prequel trilogy or something.

I actually think it's great that it's ended. Shepard's legacy has concluded, and we don't need a sequel to everything just because it's good, especially if it's already complete.



I'm glad that that Shepard's story ended, but I would still like to see more games in the same universe.. and I bet that EA wants the same thing

She did not have incinerate FYI, but otherwise, Miranda was as you say, borked.

I don't know about you, but when I breezed through insanity with an adept, I didn't just spam warp to the exclusion of all other powers.
That wasn't any act of God. That was an act of pure human fuckery.

It felt very artificial, all of the conversations with her went something like like this:

Miranda: I hate being modified, my father is a control freak.
Shepard: Nah be proud, *stalker glare* ...mmmmmm

For the whole of the game.

Girls with daddy issues.

That said the more I looked at Miranda in-game the weirder her forehead looked. It just didn't look very pretty, whether compared to other crew girls or Yvonne Strahovski IRL (well, in Chuck, RIP).

But I still cried when she died. T________T

Of course not, but you had to grab at least Miranda/Garrus for every level that involved blue suns/geth/thingswithshields.

I know I did. On your own you can do literally nothing to them without shooting them in the head for 2 years with an SMG. Similarly, you can't even use Singularity or Pull Field on Husks thanks to their like 2 armor points, you have to shoot all of them a couple times or warp them before you kill.

The only reason Adept was so easy is because Reave was completely overpowered.
