Current Events > Mass Effect: Mako vs Hammerhead, which do you prefer?

(+) Yeah! (+)

tbqh the Hammerhead missions are the worst part of the series, including Andromeda

---

Neither

---

While the Mako has it's problems every mission with the Hammerhead is fucking terrible.

---

the key problem with the Mako was it was very floaty and bouncy in a game where the planets were not very flat.

the hammerhead a) has a weak cannon, b) is shredded by enemies if it stays in line of sight for more than 3 seconds, even on lower difficulties.

Mass Effect is literally the most overrated video game series of all time. What a piece of shit.

I'm in awe that Bioware looked at the complaints of the Mako and thought that the fucking Hammerhead was not only an acceptable substitute but considered it a fucking improvement

Shut the fuck up.

Both awful.

I always liked the Mako

Mako

I can survive a few hits and it had two types of weapons.

Ice up son. Come get some bitch.

Honestly the Mako isn't even bad. It's largely that some planets are just awful for traversal in the first place.

---

The Mako is delightful, y'all motherfuckers just don't know how to drive.

---

Mako. It can take a hit.

---

The Mako segments have prevented me from finishing the first game because they're so fucking bad.

but they're really not

and the MELE refinements makes it even easier.

I've played through the first game clearing the mineral and Asari Writings/Salarian IDs/Turian thing over 6 times.

The Mako isn't nearly as bad as you guys make it out to be

---

The LE improvements make it kinda fun actually lol

I got a kick out of spamming the boost a bunch

I never said they were hard. They're just a compleyely unenjoyable experience, void of any fun. They're anti-fun.

the Mako was great. Honestly, the difficulty in traversing the terrain added to the immersion of exploring alien worlds. But it was manual as fuck, so when you manged to make it do what you wanted, it was all you, and felt super good.

not to mention, almost every objective had an "easy" path you could take if you paid attention to the terrain instead of brute forcing your way through the mountains. <_<

---

The Mako because it can actually take a hit. Hammerhead explodes if anyone looks at it funny.

---

>Find 5 Artifacts with Hammerhead
>Evading enemies
>Die as the game goes "Mission Objective Completed"
>Must redo ENTIRETY of mission BECAUSE NO SAVING ALLOWED

I'd get banned if I said my true feelings about how shit the Firewalker DLC is

---

Yeah the Hammerhead is made of glass but you shouldn't be getting hit while driving it, it's super maneuverable and you can do rings around everything. Personally I prefer the Hammerhead for that reason.

Also you don't have to try to drive the thing on Nodacrux. Fuck Nodacrux.

This. Hell, most of my Mako complaints just have to do with them making every terrain but the moon and the Liara mission planet a fucking mountainous area. Annoying as hell.

---

The Mako is just Skyrim horse with tank controls. The Hammerhead is basically a Pinata on wheels. I'll take the Mako every time.

---

I maintain that the problem wasn't with the Mako itself, it was with the terrain. With a couple exceptions, every planet was like dropping down in the damn Himalayas. When the terrain flattened out a bit, it handled great.

The Mako has sections on Feros and Noveria as well as Illos at the end. But those sections were clearly designed with the Mako in mind in the same way as Liara's mission was.

Most planets aren't that bad to traverse with the Mako either. A lot of the mountains aren't that steep so you can still make your way up. The planet type that really sucks are these grassy mountain ones where it's impossible to even stick to the surface of the mountains.

So that boosting is a new thing right? If it has always been there, I feel like an idiot for not noticing even though I've played through ME1 like 4 times. I mean, I know you could, in theory, jump but not dash forward.
