The bit with the Human Reaper really blows. My mind, that is.

Sorry to disagree Saren but I thought the ending to Mass Effect 2 was quite weak. A single, half-hour dungeon seems anticlimactic as the Thing That All This Was Building Towards (even though as dungeons go it is magnificent, exciting, emotional and very atmospheric). I wanted the ending to be 'more' and specifically longer. At least the slog through the Cerberus base and London in ME3 takes forever and has lots of cut-scenes and 'goodbyes'.
And yeah, the Human Reaper. A completely unheard-of giant robot thing with glowing weak points who you can kill with pistols if you wish. Ehhhhhhh. I mean 'Saren's glowing posessed skeleton skipping around like Spider-Man for some reason' wasn't a terrific boss either, but at least there was the space battle and some important decisions along with it.

The bad guy in Dead Space I had what i like to call "Fuck me here" lights as well so.... Actually I did like that bossfight for one reason. when my girlfriend played through it the first time and dealt with the thing in Phase 1 she was all " Oh that wasnt to bad..." Then the giant hand slams down and it roars in your face she goes " O.O OMG! why didnt you tell me?!" I just laughed, and laughed...slept on the coach for a week .

The lead up to the suicide mission (especially the Normandy fighting through the Collector fleet) was more epic than the actual fight and the ending of the game. And the human-Reaper hybrid was weak sauce.

I remember laughing to myself just because I remembered 'Futurama the Game'. It's not a good game by any stretch, but it does have one very funny joke at the end. The final boss is a giant robot who has never made any appearance until now. You kill it and as it falls it suddenly speaks, saying the best videogame villain line I've ever heard:
And so.... I die.... the way I lived....... as a giant robot.
So when I saw the Human Reaper I was laughing out loud because it just reminded me of Futurama without the punchline. xD

I did like the shot of Shepard looking at the baby Reaper though. Looked very 90's point and click gaming to me. you guys recall Lands of Lore?

I call them 'Fuck me lights' as well, but I was too bashful to type that. xD

You got a Reputation to uphold Buch, i'm the Dinosaur nut with a perverse sense of sexuality ( aka Lizard women) whose only positive note is that most inside jokes you cram out, I get and retort back to you.
I think Dead Space did the point and click route, at least online. It was quite suspensefull!

I didn't much care for the suicide mission. The whole "assign who you think is best for the job" was a little silly, because even though you may have picked someone who made sense, it depended on who BioWare thought would make sense.
Some parts were neat: fighting in that biotic bubble was memorable, but otherwise it wasn't as effective as I think it could've been. Also, now that ME3 is out, that ending makes no sense canon-wise. Given all we've learned, there was no reason for Harbinger to have been building a human reaper, and he might have actually ruined the Reapers' chances for conquering the galaxy by showing up early to the party... again, for no reason.

This is just it. If the Reapers could have made it to the Milky Way conventionally why would they have sat on their hands for the 1000 years between the Rachni Wars and the ME games? This was the big fundamental problem I had with the writing of...nearly all of it from the Arrival DLC onwards. And if here is the thing. The relays work by setting up a terminus and departure between two set points. The little stretch of empty space the Reapers camp out in would be at one end and the Citadel at the other. This means one of 2 things happened. Either the Reapers only actually needed 3 years to get to the Milky Way if they really were sitting out there waiting the extra time to let them in. Or they started steaming for the galaxy right after Sovereign failed with the Rachni. In instance one, the Citadel relay was unneeded and they were only waiting for conveniences sake or 2 Sovereign was opening a portal to an empty stretch of space. Neither makes a whit of sense. I can't help it, it bugs me.

That's what happens when only two of your IP's original writers make it to the third game of the series.
