Notes I took while watching Paragon Lost

bassguy — Sun, 17 Mar 2013 20:44:00 -0400

These are, verbatim, the notes I took as I was watching Paragon Lost.

Weird 3D-2D art style difference. Yuck.
Gross Anime bullshit (Guy hits on lady marine)
“Synced and linked” Omni-Tools. (Dumb)
3 minutes in, already a Shepard reference
Vega looks even worse in this than he does in the game or comics
“Anime” is a term that means “Lazy Animation”
Krogans look really weird in this. Did the character designers even look at a screenshot?
Goku Vorcha
Varren look like Rhinos
“Airstrike! NOOOOOOOOO!”
More shitty 3D-2D stuff
Flappy arms as Varren attack humans
Sound mix while multiple people yelling is weird
Who is this product even for?
James running —- perspective gets weird and jumpy
Jokey bullshit
Casually sexist dialogue, but from an idiot character. I guess that’s okay?
OH SHIT! That Krogan just went super saiyan
Krogan stomp animation is goofy as hell
“THIS IS WAR, MAN!”
LOOK AT ALL THIS SEXUAL TENSION!
What is up with Anderson’s face?
What is up with Hackett’s voice? (They didn’t get Lance Henriksen, instead Bruce Carey)
Oh god, this 3D looks like it’s right out of the 1990s
SO FUCKING BAD. It’s offensive how bad the banter is.
Fuck off, little kid. Blech.
Hilariously playing with his fauxhawk
Kamille is voiced by Laura Bailey, though. She also plays Ensign Rodriquez/Dr. Eva Coré/Oriana Lawson/PTSD Asari Commando/Lt. Kurin/Additional Voices
Oh, hey, I recognize this random soldier.
Asari look like fish people a little bit in this
Weird jinx dialogue
Oh, hey, let’s just make the token Asari an archeologist
Sweaty Asari panic face. CREEPY.
70,000 years?
LET ME BREAK DOWN WHAT MASS EFFECT AND EEZO IS. OH HEY! PROTHEANS, DAWG.
Weird racism dialogue.
“Could be reaper tech”
WHY IS THIS PLACED before ME2’s main game?
Swarmers look bad
“It looks like he’s been… MUSIC STING… paralyzed.”
This has to be made for sexually repressed assholes and/or 12 year olds
Are collectors made of cheese cloth?
“Just trying to look cool before I die.” So bad.
Trying to contact Alliance command with a flip phone?
I AM YELLING AT THE TOP OF MY LUNGS LIKE A SHITTY ANIME CHARACTER
Why is there a guy wearing glasses? Fucking eezo that shit away.
“And reporting back to his employer… AKA CERBERUS!”
“Wait, what is cerberus?” LET ME GIVE YOU SOME SHITTY EXPOSITION.
Krogan: LET ME REMIND YOU WHO I AM DESPITE SEEING ME A FEW MINUTES AGO
“Metabolic stasis.” “ENGLISH!” Fucking lame.
The collectors really should have used that insta-vape laser to take out Shepard
LIKE A SPACE KNIFE THROUGH SPACE BUTTER
Why would Collectors be talking to each other via comm? Would they even be talking outside of a “THIS HURTS YOU” type deal with Harby?
WANK WANK WANK CERBERUS IS UNETHICAL
If you got a problem, yo I’ll solve it. Check out the hook while Asari revolve it.
GIANT COLLECTOR. What the fuck?
That Krogan took multiple shots directly in the head at point-blank range. I somehow doubt he would be talking.
Bad sound editing mid-line?
Prothean beacon thing means even shittier animation?
Tobias Funke-like line delivery from Messner.
This doesn’t give us any insight into Mass Effect fiction that isn’t already covered better in ME2.
OH GOD THE TEARS AND SNOT ON MESSNER’S FACE IS GROSS
Wank wank wank sacrifice one for the benefit of the many wank wank wank space batman
Crazy awkward running animation
Acid trip
What the fuck blur filter for eye shields?
The ending isn’t great, but it isn’t quite as bad as the rest of the movie.
