Almost all the Citadel quests in Mass Effect 3 are given by Shepard listening in on someone else's private conversations and then coming back with the thing they wanted without them asking Shepard for it.

Well that's kind of stupid...

Pallet cleanser?

 

[Montresor]

Well that's kind of stupid...

It's fucking obnoxious is what it is. There are close to 50 of those quests, and each of them is a tedious fetch quest.

1. Listen to a stranger's phone conversation
2. Journal updates with side quest indicating that stranger requires an artifact
3. 90% of the time the journal entry doesn't tell you in which cluster/system you can find this artifact, so you'll end up "stumbling" into it as you scan planets
4. When you find the artifact, the journal entry attached to this side quest does not update itself. As a matter of fact, you could have 15 similar journal entries in your journal at the same time and because of this have no idea which stranger's artifact you just found.

5. Return to the Citadel, and click the right stick to bring up the map. Look for names like "war strategist" or "angry accountant" on the map. If such names appear on the map, that means you stumbled into one of their artifacts awhile back. What did they want? Fuck if you'll know. Whatever it is they want, you have it. So just walk up to them, and say "Hey, I heard you needed this particular artifact, come to Bay D24 to pick it up!"

6. The stranger thanks you and then almost IMMEDIATELY starts a telephone conversation in which he implies that the artifact that you just gave him is already working its magic in some manufacturing facility lights years away.

You guys should do this to games, more unfun parts in them than unfunny panels in webcomics. We could probably boil MGS4 down to about an hour's worth of entertainment.

 

[sixteen-bit]

Why is there a cat.

Because cats are funny

[Muffdraul]

I don't know what he means by self-referential humour

Me neither, that's why I asked. Still curious.

 

[Zomba13]

It needs the other RPG panel to work I think (but I think that one needs work).
But yeah, it really is too long.

 

[sn00zer]

I have always liked vgcats....no idea where the hate comes from....

 

[HP_Wuvcraft]

This thread made me remember that video game webcomics were a thing, and that in turn made me remember that CAD was a thing. So I decided to check it out, since it'd been a year or two since the last time I saw it.

You know, there is a way to be funny while still making your point. This is not one of them.

Neither is the VGCats.

Yeah, they're just misunderstood like God Mode

 

[Apoc87]

Truth

 

[Rapstah]

This is almost kind of funny compared to the original. I wonder if you can make it one.

 

[DarknessTear]

I'm not a fan of VG Cats but is it really that big of a deal that it has so many panels? Anyway, it does point out something I hate about ME3. It's pretty lazy in terms of design.

 

[Regulus Tera]

Most all Webcomics are mercilessly unfunny. My coworker friend reads most of these and gets mad when I say they are terrible.

Dawn of Time was funny and had great art. Too bad it was so short.

 

[90sRobots]

Yeah, webcomics are only funny when SA manipulates the shit out of them. Or when furries admit that they j/o to VGCats.

 

[SovanJedi]

I... I laughed at the Mass Effect comic.

Guess I'll hand over my GAF account now.

 

[Ferrio]

Dawn of Time was funny and had great art. Too bad it was so short.

Ya totally hilarious....

 

[Regulus Tera]

Like all good webcomics, it starts slow as the author gets to know the strengths of the medium.

 

[90sRobots]

http://harkavagrant.com/ is where it's at.

 

[Boogdud]

Web comics, the equivalent of the family member who thinks they're really talented at something, but nobody has the guts to tell them they're shit.

 

[chiablo]

http://harkavagrant.com/ is where it's at.

www.oglaf.com/ is probably the best. WARNING: IT IS TOTALLY NSFW!

 

[Dambrosi]

In the OP...

...why is the EA guy's tongue yellow?

 

[90sRobots]

www.oglaf.com/ is probably the best. WARNING: IT IS TOTALLY NSFW!

Hahahaha yes that site is so wonderfully horrible

 

[TheOGB]

Pallet cleanser?

Ha.

I do enjoy Oglaf every now and again, but that's about it outside of PA

 

[serotonina]

 

[Lyonaz]

Lol at Oglaf. Bookmarked.

 

[bernardobri]

Oh boy this is so good.

...

 

[Blutonium]

 

[Roto13]

Some of you people need to expand your horizons. Yeah, VG Cats and (especially) CAD are crap, uh huh, that's nice, but you can only think of one good webcomic? Really?

 

[First Name]

There are good ones- reMIND, Lackadaisy, The Abominable Charles Christoper, Gunnerkrigg Court ( stick with it; it takes a few chapters before it hits its stride) The Meek (although that one looks like it's on indefinite hiatus due to author illness), Phoenix Requiem, Hark! A Vagrant, Dr. Mcninja for its sheer batshit wackiness...

Gunshow is always good for some laughs.

edit: oh god, people mentioning Oglaf. I fuckin love that one.

 

[BobJustBob]

How about merging the last two comics and having the furry go to Bioware demanding a better ending, then Shepard is eavesdropping...

 

[Huw_Dawson]

Does anyone here need a cleanser that's over one thousand pages long?

I dunno why, but hey, maybe there's one person out there.

http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=4

You're welcome. Don't read Homestuck.

Also, http://thepunchlineismachismo.com/, because Manly Guys Doing Manly Things is probably the only webcomic worth a damn I've ever discovered via Kotaku.

 

[Danthrax]

VGCats #301 is pretty good, actually. Scott clearly wants to be an animator, not a cartoonist, though.

Or a writer.

Or anyone with any type of creative control.
