Poll: So.... Who missed the shot for Garrus?

 Pages PREV 1 2 3
 

Garrus is my bro.

His reaction is too priceless not to miss the shot.

Yes. Garrus is awesome and he should be the king of sniping. I wish the game had put it on me to actually hit it though.

I missed. Garrus is a sharpshooter. I'm a nut-job with a machine gun and a bag full of explosives. Though I'm kind of pissed that we didn't jump in the lake. That would have been awesome.

With my [me]Shep, I couldn't NOT make the shot. I respect him far too much to purposefully miss, as it would be a hollow victory.

Of course I did! Garrus is my favourite squadmate, so I do what I can to make him happy.

Also, I'm kinda banging him.

Hell no. That scene made me love him as a character and as a friend, but I don't think Shepard would ever let someone win. It demeans both of them.

If he wants to show her up, he's gotta do it on his own.

I missed it on purpose because in reality I am not as good a shot as Garrus, and however badly I'd like to be - well let's just say I rely on time-dialation to line up my shots too much of the time to feel like I would be justified in claiming to be a better sharp-shot than my man Garrus, even if the game will let me say I am.

I think that's a little different than missing it out of wanting to boost his self-esteem.

He's my bro, man.

So of course I missed it.

Glad I did too. His reaction was so cute.

I played a sentinel, and used everything BUT guns. How do you expect me to make that shot? Besides, happy Garrus makes a happy Shepard, and a happy Shepard doesn't shoot himself in the face because of stress.

Of course I missed it.

Garrus is my space-lion bro, I felt he deserved to have that little feeling of happiness, to be able to say he could out-snipe Commander Shepard.

Also, that was probably my favourite line of dialogue on the Citadel.

Garrus is my bro, I had to let him win the contest.

That was one of the best moments in the game, whoever wrote Garrus was genius, he felt like a real friend - one of my favourite videogame characters EVER.

Totally agree. There has been a lot of good moments in the ME series, but this was really one of the best. The extreme humanity of it all was almost overwhelming. It is a testament to Biowares skill that we care so much about a few pixels. My hat is off to them for this one.

I wanted to do this

But since I couldnt, I missed the shot on purpose.

Hahahahahahahahaha! Oh man, this would have been the top of awesome...

It's disrespectful to patronize him like that. He knows perfectly well that he's an amazing sniper, and just because the first human spectre was able to shoot a bottle doesn't mean he's suddenly inadequate.

I would have felt like a bastard if I casually hit the bottle with ease, plus throughout all the games I had Garrus on sniper duty so it was only fitting he be a better shot then Yakob Shepherd. Plus I wasn't going to ruin such a perfect moment of friendship by being a accurate dick!

Oh god, that should be in a patch!

I didn't miss when it first presented the option as I didn't want to patronise him. But Shep's response to Garrus when you don't miss was not that of a friend. so I reloaded and missed on purpose and went with that. He's so happy when you miss I couldn't regret it.

I play a Vanguard so I found more logical to miss the shot since I fight only in close quarter with a shotgun and my biotic fists...

I missed it so he could say that was his favourite spot on the Citadel.

I missed it just for his reaction and what a great reaction it was.

It only seemed right. Afterall, it's his favorite spot on the Citadel :')

My first Shepard missed the shot. However since me other Shepard is an infiltrator, I don't know if I have it in me to miss on purpose.

Garrus would not want me to miss for him, he is not a child.... He's my bro.
