what the frick was Bioware thinking when they made this character? he dies like the b***h he is later on anyways so what was the point of all that?
His final fight was moronic. The bonus skill you get from the Omega DLC (Flare, I think) nearly one shots everything. It makes every other skill worthless. It kills the phantoms that drop down in one shot plus a bullet or two.
>what the frick was Bioware thinking when they made this character?
Metal Gar Solid and Raiden are popular. Let's make a character like that, to appeal to the mature adults like ourselves.
Kai Leng is from thr Mass Effect books originally. He needs to be cool like he is in the books, but he can't be cooler than (you) so he flip flops between being a fricking joke and then magically being competent again
This feels like something Shadow the Hedgehog would write to Sonic. Also why the frick is a grown man even sending hatemail to another grown man whos a level-headed military commander? Why is this same grown man running around the universe with a sword like fricking Raiden but with none of the skill or cybernetic enhancements? In a world where almost everyone uses a gun or literal biotic force powers. For an organization where even its most basic foot soldiers use guns...
I knew exactly what it was before opening and still laughed. It feels like the most edgy, OC, early 2000's shit possible. Did they ever confirm that he's not somebody's OC or self insert?
Why does it feel like every single sentence in the last half was tacked on because he was deathly afraid Shepard wouldn't get it? >The legend of Shepard needs to be rewritten
Heh that sounds cool. But wait shit what if he thinks I'm just writing books >I hope I'm there for the last chapter
Fricking got him, now he-wait what if he thinks I'm gonna join him. Better clarify >It ends with your death.
Fricking perfect. Lemme use my initials in case he thinks its the other ninja he fought on the Asari homeworld.
-KL
He always felt like a henchman to me
Saren at least seemed like the main antagonist for a good bit
Kai Leng just seems like the video game equivalent of the "badass" muscle character you'd get from a bond film or something similar, like that asian girl in Live Free or Die Hard
Real talk. After ME1 I expected them to pull some "Saren was resurrected" bullshit. Either by the reapers controlling him or some bullshit cybernetics by someone. Turns out it wasn't him but Shepard who got that treatment...
I only know eho this is from all the shitposting years ago. What's wrong with him? Is Fallout 4 worth playing? Didn't really care for 3 but NV is one of my favorites.
>They have advance technology but refuse to use it to help other while isolate themselves away from everyone else. >Except they also secretly frick with other factions by killing and replace people with their android, thus making other factions hate their gut. >Doesn't give the players a choice, you either with them(then you have to destroy all other factions) or against them(with require you to destroy them). If you choose to support them you don't even have the choice to reform them despite you became their leader. >The game expect you to choose them because it turn out your son is their leader.
>lack of choice, or a "choice" of "yes" or "yes (under duress)"
This is part of what bugged me about 3. Is the gameplay at least better in 4? World? Exploration? Side quests?
It's a very different kind of game from everything else they've made, very obviously a halfway step to 76's live service shit with stuff like the random "legendary" equipment and the focus on survival-craft-basebuilding. The actual shoot guns bang bang is drastically improved though even while everything related to plotting and design are a wash, so I think there's some of value to be gained especially as a mod platform with more and more "new worldspace" type mods coming out.
Just like FO3 the writing for the base game sucks and doesn't stand up to scrutiny(I heard the DLCs are serviceable). If you enjoyed ammo/weapon crafting in NV, then FO4 is a downgrade in that regard. Base building is easy and intuitive, but is gimped by default limitations set by the devs. But the power armor is implemented better than any of two previous games and actually feels like power armor(though certain balancing/visual(related to durability) flaws abound) and if you enjoy going into dungeons to turn them into graveyards for the sake of fat loots then the map is packed with dungeons and raider/super mutant camps to genocide.
Cool. Wonder how it runs on Xbox as I don't play much on PC these days. Looks like you can do some limited modding on console nowadays which is cool. I've always played Bethesda games with the unofficial patch.
>"Are you winning son?" >"N-no dad you don't understand!"
Phenomenal writing Todd. 10/10
I fired a road of buckshot into his face the first time I saw him. I didn't believe that that was actually Shaun because I thought the writing wouldn't have been THAT dumb.
>Institute floods the surface with murder bots and FEV-infected janitors for years
I'm sure he had a good reason for it, shame we're not smart enough to understand
The Jesus and Bahamut Badguy are all non-canon alternate universe material. He was an butthole and even in the alternate universe deliberately infected millions with demons and allowed the demons to kill humanity.
>wasn't word of god that him and tifa did frick in that one scene
yes but Barry says that doesn't count because it goes against his shitposting narrative
just like how the "non canon" Novel is suddenly canon because it goes with his shitposting narrative
He's not even a villain. He's just a tool for the "villain." And Illusive Man wasn't the villain in 3. He just turned into a generic chaotic neutral. One of a half dozen leaders you step on along your path to the ending. That's a large part why Kai Lang is so bad. He's secondary to a secondary, but the games story acts like he's some major threat.
The problem is they made the Reapers too strong. When you make an enemy that's so incomprehensibly strong that it takes the entire fleet to kill one, the only option is to force the players to lose. Which they obviously didn't have the balls to do. We know that every fifty thousand years a Reaper is "born," so we don't know exactly how many there are. Certainly hundreds. Thousands? A hundred thousand? A million? Imagine the shitstorm if BioWare had said, "sorry, you can't win." I would have preferred that ending. As I see it, of the possible endings, Control is really the only valid one.
I just did a renegade play recently. I didn't know if you rebuff the star kid over and over he basically tells you to go get fricked and then the game ends and the Reapers win.
Don't think he can be topped. >literal who >annoying homosexual >survives fights by running away like a b***h >makes it til the end on pure plot armor >never a real threat >never interesting >never personally attached >makes ninjas seem like geeks
100% but it would retroactively make ME3 nonsense. Albeit, 3 made 2 retroactively nonsense.
Canonically, TIM was supposed to be the human equivalent of Saren, indoctrinated, with the real purpose of the entire mission in ME2 to capture the base for him because he wants that juicy Reaper tech.
Now in settings where morality is part of the metaphysics, like Lord of the Rings, it makes sense you can't use the evil ring for Good. It will inevitably corrupt you.
But in ME it makes no sense why control of the reapers, or merely using their tech, is treated as this innately corruptive influence.
ME2 was the coolest and best ME got because players joined the "bad guy" Cerberus who were more righteous than the space UN and Alliance combined.
I wanna see a parody of him in another game where everyone sees him as a fricking tool because he's an edgy sword ninja in a sci-fi military shooter and nobody takes him seriously
but at the same time he's every bit as competent as he thinks he is and is actually dangerous. He's just a tool.
You can say a lot of shit about ME but, BUT, the first time you land on Ilios and chase Saren while this banger sounds https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jmKsCXXQaEA is absolutely fricking fantastic.

I like Raiden but he was always divisive.
Kai Leng is from thr Mass Effect books originally. He needs to be cool like he is in the books, but he can't be cooler than (you) so he flip flops between being a fricking joke and then magically being competent again

He's an edgy ninja oc from the ME3 tie in books. Some nobody pulled his connections and got a book deal and managed to force him into the game.
Why is this guy messaging you on Steam after you beat him?
Why does it feel like every single sentence in the last half was tacked on because he was deathly afraid Shepard wouldn't get it?
>The legend of Shepard needs to be rewritten
Heh that sounds cool. But wait shit what if he thinks I'm just writing books

he does have a bit of the Mojo Jojo going on doesn't he.

Doesn't he literally shit or piss in someone's vase in a novel or something.
He breaks into Keith David's apartment, eats his cereal, and pees in his potted plant
pretty sure he cranks a load out into the cereal
he jerk offs into keith david's cereal if i recall correctly
Yeah he definitely cums in the cereal
He literally shows up three times he's a nothing henchman
He's hyped up as the "rival" like Saren was in ME1. Difference is that Saren was executed well while Kai Leng's execution was messy at best.
He always felt like a henchman to me
Saren at least seemed like the main antagonist for a good bit
Kai Leng just seems like the video game equivalent of the "badass" muscle character you'd get from a bond film or something similar, like that asian girl in Live Free or Die Hard
>Saren was executed well
Yeah, he did him himself
Real talk. After ME1 I expected them to pull some "Saren was resurrected" bullshit. Either by the reapers controlling him or some bullshit cybernetics by someone. Turns out it wasn't him but Shepard who got that treatment...
I win.

He isn't even the villian. Every other faction just talks you into killing them because that's the only way they'll gain hegemony.
>Institute floods the surface with murder bots and FEV-infected janitors for years
I'm sure he had a good reason for it, shame we're not smart enough to understand
>dude I was literally Jesus
>dude I was trying to take out a bigger badguy
all only revealed in DLC that came out 2+ years after the game did
Playing as him was fun at least
Holding O was fun?
Is this in the royale king edition? I don't remember him being playable
his DLC came out after the Royal Edition. It was the only piece of DLC from the 2nd Season Pass that came out
I feel vaguely upset but I'm not sure why. It's not like I paid for the game. *shrugs*
The Jesus and Bahamut Badguy are all non-canon alternate universe material. He was an butthole and even in the alternate universe deliberately infected millions with demons and allowed the demons to kill humanity.
>The Jesus and Bahamut Badguy are all non-canon alternate universe material.
and yet were reinforced in the true ending novel. Also, Barry use this "alternate canon" material to defend XV

He's actually so bad that I would believe he's a parody.

but at the same time he's every bit as competent as he thinks he is and is actually dangerous. He's just a tool.
why is his visor squinting?
Asian influence.

The Reapers had awesome design.
How do you frick up the biggest contemporary franchise? Who did MS hire at 343 that they only made shitty games?
they immediately fricked up by having his opening fight be him jobbing to a terminally ill drell assassin. it was all downhill from there
