Critical Miss: Garrus: Badass Burnout

[mjc0961]

Maybe he can join Ashley in becoming a prostitute?

Or may be he becomes a nerd (complete with pocket protector) to better do his calibrations.

 

[AssassinJoe]

Specter, he's earned it by now.

Ok that's the stu.... actually that's probably the most logical thing you've ever said.

Besides, there are at least 3 dead Spectres from the first 2 games, so there probably a need for them.

 

[A_who]

James Bond? Although I don't really see that as an improvement to Batman but what are going to do, eh.

 

[RobCoxxy]

An amalgam of Bond, The Terminator, Batman, Indiana Jones, The Doctor, Neo and Dirty Harry. Oh and Rorshach. Minus the dying.

Captcha = Mudic nguipl (what)

 

[Madara XIII]

Isn't it obvious?

Spoiler

HOLY SHAMOLEY!!! :O

*eyes tear up from the greatness of clint eastwood* T^T so awesome

 

[leviadragon99]

Well... it's not like the game hinges on him getting exponentially more badass between games...

 

[Radoh]

Hey guys, nice thread and all, but...can it wait a bit? I'm in the middle of some calibrations.

Garrus' voice is in my head now with that line. It's beautiful.

 

[Madara XIII]

anc[is]Implying he needs to go anywhere?

They should just go ahead and make him your 2nd in command, because there's no way in hell that unlikable sow Miranda was my 2nd

he does need to go somewhere!! He needs to become.....

DR. McNINJA!!!!

BOOM Universe Saved

 

[duchaked]

But seriously, I agree on Tali, Tali is a little girl and frankly I don't get why people want to get under her suit. I always preferred to go after the actual, full grown women (If Miranda's not back I'll be pretty disappointed) and treat Tali like a little sister. As for the people's love of Garrus? You can't not like Garrus. He's a bad-ass with a heart of gold.

If only he'd finish with those calibrations though. I want to see a bit in Mass effect 3 where he announces "The calibrations are finished!" and something annihilates the enemy. As it does it's bloody work, or after it has he turns to Shepard and says "I think I could improve it with a few more calibrations".

I have to agree on all points here xD Tali really was a little sister the Commander saved and took care of, and naturally she'd develop a crush on the dashing space hero, but not a romance option I'd consider fitting (a bit like relations between Kaylee and the Cap'n )

and Garrus...well I've got nothing to add except I really hope BioWare concludes this epic side sorry of calibrations in Mass Effect 3 (basically if it doesn't factor in some form of awesomeness in the final battle...I will be very very disappointed)

Spoiler

The man with no name. I love the reference. On Topic: Maybe garrus will be retconned, and suddenly remember that his parents were killed by guns, and he hates guns? Just like Batman, who originally carried guns, was?

Or maybe he will become Doctor Who.

 

[Canid117]

simple

Spoiler

its damn hard to get more badass than Batman mixed with wolverine

I'm not incredibly fond of the lower lip. It is fine in this one but in most issues it is freakishly huge.

 

[Marowit]

He'll backslide to the punisher...and he'll be lamesauce

just sayin'!

Punisher is lamer than batman. Box office gross proves that.

That's what backslides means - I am saying that they'll be hard pressed to find a more badass inspiration than batman....

I know and I'm agreeing with you.

bah! These are the times I wish keyboards had a way to express intonation in the words typed.

*tip o' the hat* good sir

 

[Bloodstain]

Highlander and Chuck Norris have already been mentioned, huh.

By the way, Erin looks incredibly good in this comic. Way better than before. -drools-
Kudos.

No harm done, and back at you. *Tip*

 

[TheKruzdawg]

I could see it going that way, although it would make me sad to see Garrus become the bad guy.

I think this is what would make it a memorable twist; It makes sense within the arc (or could happen without a giant U-turn) and it would have a demonstrable emotional impact on the player. Most people like Garrus, I know I do (I nearly creamed when I first saw him in ME2), so fighting against him would be, genuinely, difficult.

That's how I felt when I was on Virmire and I almost had to kill Wrex. I was so relieved that I had put enough points into Charm and was able to talk him down. I don't think I could have been able to handle losing 2 crew members in 1 mission (although I didn't know it at the time).

 

[Baradiel]

Turns out Garrus has a twin sister, who is just as awesome as Garrus, except, you know, you can have sex with her.

You can anyway, if you're a female Shephard.

I mean, I wish I could as a male Shephard, but still...

Garrus' stairway
Dirty Harry - Batman - Choose between morphing to Rorschach or Jesus.

Or some epic combination of the two that breathes fire.

"CROSSED AND DROPPED!"
or
"Garrus Journal: October 12th, 2185. Vorcha carcass in alley this morning, tire tread on burst stomach. This city is afraid of me. I have seen its true face. The streets are extended gutters and the gutters are full of blood and when the drains finally scab over, all the vermin will drown. The accumulated filth of all their asari sex and murder will foam up about their waists and all the dancers and council members will look up and shout "Save us!"... and I'll whisper "Can this wait? I'm in the middle of some calibrations."

goddamnit, that made me cry from laughter! kudos to you sir!

My pleasure...
Also that a Morrowind nick?

Or..you know...You can keep him as Batman. He was badass, why change him?
