I do not want to stop asking. I do not ask to stop wanting.

HAHAHAHA

Discuss moments where you look back and shake your head at hype trains you were involved with.

The whole "60 enemies on screen" from Halo Reach comes to mind as well.

Recon Number 54 -
If they are still looking, then while holding the snarl, I let drool start to drip from my mouth, I stand, curl my fingers into claws and with a hunched over crouch, I then make slow and deliberate steps towards them. When I get close enough, I let them hear my agonized and gasping growls and then, if they continue to stare, when I get within arm's reach? I kiss them on the nose, and run away giggling.

That was probably the most disappointing thing in Halo :/

It could probably have been done without scripting (in my various AI collecting tests, I have noticed AI with functioning feet tend to lag the game more than ones that have no pathfinding) but that wouldn't be very interesting since they'd be standing in place just asking to be shot.

Though funny thing is that Halo 3 is fully capable of having 50+ AI with pathfinding while Reach instant lags when it has more than 10... it's like the engine's been downgraded!

Glory and fame, blood is our name!
Souls full of thunder, hearts of steel!
Killers of men, a warrior's friend!
Sworn to avenge our fallen brothers!
Sons of the gods, today we shall die.
Open Valhalla's door!
Let the battle begin, with swords in the wind! Hail Gods of War!

To be fair, most of those plot points did come to fruition. Hell, I'd say the Quarian/Geth war was the one thing in ME3 that lived to my expectations. It's just that the ending made them all pointless.

Which reminds me. A campaign DLC centered on the Rachni would be lovely.

I am Brosidon, King of the Brocean

I was more hyped than anybody in the world for Assassin's Creed 3. Twas' a dark day, October 30th.

The ending to AC3 was one of the most amazing I have ever seen in my life.

Such a comprehensive defiling of a plot and character. Mac Walters would have been proud.

I literally threw my controller out of my window. The window was not open.

By the power of truth, I, while living, have conquered the universe.

IGN:
So it appears that whenever the final Reaper confrontation goes down, the Rachni will be on Shepard's side. Not a bad ally to have.

Mac Walters:
"[The presence of the Rachni] has huge consequences in Mass Effect 3. Even just in the final battle with the Reapers."

ME3:
Brief cameo in Grunt's mission, promise to help fight against the Reapers. Never mentioned ever again beyond 1 slide if Wreav is the krogan leader...

Also, just on a side note, who the hell designed the Charles Lee chase? It's the least intuitive chase scene I've ever seen in a video game.
