They follow up on their details

Because Bioware makes good RPGs

>>50223264
That looks like wrex

>>50223264
This and it at least makes you feel like these entire star systems not just there for, literally, some extra weapons and a couple of mildly interesting side-quests.

I FUCKING MISSED THE MAKO MISSIONS

Seriously, that sense of exploration and scale was complete lost in ME2, they better fucking bring them back in ME3

>>50223264
I miss the mako

That's actually my favourite planet in the game OP
Fuck yeah!

Seriously, what happen to those awesome driving side quests?

>>50223593

Fuck that, manual exploration over a planet with that small hover-car thing or with direct control of the Normandy.

THAT would be amazing.

If the Hammerhead reintroduces proper planetary exploration, I.. I don't even know.

The only problem with ME2's planets thusfar is that none of them are as brickshittingly awesome as ME1's planets. There are cool planets, but they're all much more realistic this time around.

But that, in a way, could be really good. It'd be awesome to be able to visit other colonies and shit for quests/NPC interaction, shopping, etc, but still have a vehicle aspect for N7 quests or whatever in the area.

Or maybe they won't do anything like that. I shouldn't get my hopes up.

>>50223104

Then they follow that shit up with saying it was a weapon used to fucking kill a Reaper.

But it crippled it and got it stuck in something's atmosphere.

REAPER TIME.

Wtf is wrong with most of you? Nostalgia goggles? The Mako was never good, it controls like shit, I just want to kill someone everytime I aim at something and it hits at that far away mountain. Jesus Christ, I'm glad they took it out, and they're taking time with the Hammerhead, because I don't want another Mako.

I really wanna see that rich Volus who bought a planet because a vision he had where he was told the secret to defeating the machine devils is buried there.

>>50224375
As long as you didn't want to fucking climb a mountain with it, the MAKO did its job.

Anyway, drving it and exploring those planets was a million times more awesome than "launching probes"

>>50224375

I was playing it the other day.

It was fun.

Real men run the enemy down. Pussy.

>>50224375
It's not nostalgia goggles. The actual exploring was interesting, the problem was that the Mako couldn't climb up half of the mountains and all of the bases were pulled from one of three layouts.

>>50224375
While a lot of planets were the same shitty steep terrain, there was a lot that was still cool about it: unique atmospheres, the stories behind the planets, the occasional strange fauna (pyjaks!), neat hidden things, what have you.

No one's saying the Mako was anywhere near perfect, and Bioware is clearly willing to listen to the community's concerns so the Hammerhead will probably improve on the Mako in all aspects if it is indeed a planet exploring vehicle.

The point is that the Mako added depth to the game in the form of exploration, which ME2 is lacking at the moment.

also, real men killed everything on foot. fuck mako rockets

The Mako missions would be better if all the planets weren't so damn boring, the sidequests so repetitive, and the thing handled better.

>>50224540

1000000 x 0 = 0

The ME series is great but planet exploration has always been weak. Really everything good about the games comes down to character, dialogue, and decisions. When you explore planets, there was just some arcadey driving bullshit and sometimes a warehouse full of dudes to kill. In ME2 the "land on planet" missions usually weren't even tied to a person on the Citadel or anything, they were just uninteresting. At their best they were about as diverting as a WoW quest.

>>50224745
This

Motherfuckers should have fixed the maneuverability of the car, rather than just completely taking it out of the game.
That shit was just lazy.

>>50224540
>>50224546
>>50224570
I only seemed to have trouble on it with those really mountainous worlds. And worlds that are active enough to form mountains are likely to be able to support life, hence why many of the very mountainous worlds are grassy.

If the Mako was a hovercraft/VTOL-whatever, shit would've been so much better.

>>50224870
Seriously, they should have fixed the controls.
Let you explore the planets, maybe meet some people there and get quests.

Or just get quest from the main planets like in ME1

>>50224870

What do you expect with 6 wheel steering?

I liked this one planet that had a gigantic sun that took up most of the sky. The view was really cool. If I recall correctly the sun was blue and even though the planet was really far away, it still had some type of radiation hazard.

Shit, this is interesting. More planet descriptions OP.

NOT NEARLY AS AWESOME AS PANDORA

WE HAVE BLUE INDIANS HERE

>>50224906

Kind of like how instead of fixing the inventory system, they just took all gear options out of the game.

I need to go back to ME1 and get the couple of interesting ones I missed.

>>50225185
Blue Indians met the Sith Empire.

This is educational! Now you'll have something to talk to Grunt about.

I remember there was a planet called Amaranthine, and Amaranth is a name for a type of purple color.

It was a red planet but had a blue sun I think, so it was all purple.

How can you enjoy boring planets, with mountais, snowstorms, sandstorms, or whatever the fuck is happening, with the same base everysingle time?

Like I said, I'm glad they're taking time with Hammerhead, because maybe now it will control better, and the planets will actually be unique, even if smaller and less in numbers.

I really liked the system in Mass Effect 2 that had two bright bluish-white suns orbiting around each other. It's where you found the Migrant Fleet, I think.

>>50225185
I know you are trolling, but exploring some uncharted planet where you meet some uncivilized alien species that no one has meet before would be awesome.
Hell, taking one of the females as your pet should be allowed for Renegades

>>50223104
Interesting sidenote.
Klendagon was actually created from a real life picture of mars.
Everything in the picture, including the rift (forget the real name for it) is on mars.
I remember reading about it in a mass effect wiki.

>>50224540
The problem is, you always climbed the mountain.

Wide, suspicious looking plains? My thresher sense is tingling. Haha, fuck that. I'll spend ten minutes ascending this 92* incline, thank you very much.

The mission where you have to endure wave after wave of crazed Rachni like in Starship Troopers was awesome

Yeah, you think that planet is unique.

Until you see it again 4 different times.

>>50225502
Sounds like you just don't appreciate environments.

I thought the planets with huge looming suns, meteorites falling constantly and impacting the surface, fierce thunderstorms on one horizon with the sun at your back for that extra surreal look, and tiny plankton-like organisms drifting through the air were all pretty neat.

>>50223104
Didn't the scar have something to do with a reaper in me2? That was pretty cool how they brought it back up.

>>50225607

this would be mine

>>50225885
That being said, I love what they've done with the N7 missions flashlight heads in fog holy shit quite a bit and hope they continue to do awesome things like that.

>>50225889

Yes, 37 million years ago a race killed a Reaper from the same harvest as Sovereign(they look the same) with a giant rail gun, the bullet kept going after hitting the Reaper and impacted Klendagon(?) making the huge crater/rift. Cerberus found both the Gun and the derelict reaper, you destroy the Derelict reaper in ME2.

>>50225889
Yeah, a huge mass accelerator weapon fired from a crazy ass distance away at the Reaper is what left the scar.

I liked the fact that they brought up that Salarian goddess planet thing again.

Fucking Batarians.

Those crazy kids on their extranet.

They really need to develop the Batarians and Vorcha in ME3
I mean, even their designs are just lazy.

I hope you can visit they native planet in the next game.

>>50226346

OR IS IT!?

Couple of ME2 planets for comparison.

>>50226487
>>50226529
Wow, they really look a lot less impressive.

>>50225609

One thing that really bothered me about ME2 was how they completely changed how the planet looked. You can't even see the rift anymore. WTF Bioware? It was a major plot point and you already had the skin and everything!

>>50226487

Those fucking Reapers kill everything.

FUUU BIOETHICS GROUPS

They need to make planet exploration fun.

This is what baffles me about the Mass Effect universe. A galaxy full of mysteries, corpse of giant organic spaceships, planets scarred by massive bullets, ruins, crypts and monuments left by unknown extinct races, the hub of galactic society is holed-up in a massive, prefabricated space station maintained by an elusive race of custodial workers and no one fucking questions it.

>>50226696

/r/ing Klendagon ME2 style for comparison.

>>50226743

lol, fuckign space Russians.

>>50226743
I don't see any message

>>50226027
>Leviathan of Dis
>genetically engineered living starship

Is it possible that Leviathan is the Sovereign?

Alright, last one from me.
