By Hitch Go To PostPlease tell me that's not a female turian

Looks like shit

new race lol

looks like shit

By rvy Go To PostWhich Mass Effect character doesn't look like shit?

The aliens, normally

By rvy Go To PostWhich Mass Effect character doesn't look like shit?

Wow they did that girl wrong.

By rvy Go To PostWhich Mass Effect character doesn't look like shit?

what's up with the shitty teeny bopper models, ugh, hope we can customize

gameplay looks good though--looking like Halo 5 gameplay in third person in an RPG setting. Must have.

By Dark PhaZe Go To Postwhat's up with the shitty teeny bopper models, ugh, hope we can customize

Bioware caters their designs around Bioware Social fanboys/fangirls and who they want to fuck.

Did you play DA2? It was full of those kinds of designs.

Isn't Mass Effect a huge series? Feels like there is very little hype for this one.

3 killed it for me, even all the extra DLC felt meh, except the final goodbye was nice.

By s y Go To PostWow they did that girl wrong.

They always do, either BioWare are purposefully making terrible women models or they can't model women based on real people for shit.





Meanwhile at CDPR with a budget of 10€ worth of vodka

no wonder most the turians in mass effect are with asari compared to those monsters

They did get better in DA:I at least.

Everything wrong with their design... goals... can be summarized by Ashley Williams in each ME game. Just always fucked up. They might get some things right here and there but all of the issues can be found in her lol

Giant Bomb has an unfinished video of it and Brad said Bioware was making DA:I comparisons

yall ready for Hinterlands 2.0 and a completely uninteresting story?

that female model is an embarrassment

The story could be No Man's Sky and everyone who loved ME1 would dance in the streets lol...

Hinterlands x a few planets and space magic with some 80s sci-fi goodness/badness is all everyone wants. The further they get away from the savior of humanity the better.

Wait

Bioware are actually comparing it to DA:I in a 'we've bought a lot of things from DA:I to Mass Effect' way? My excitement is dead.

@DY, nobody who wants the game to be good wants the game to be hinterlands x a few planets

@sy, what difficulty are you playing Horizon on? Tempted to start with Very Hard, but worry that rather than turn it down to Hard/Normal I'll just bang my head against it like an idiot and end up hating the game.

If people wanted to play a space exploration game, they'd buy some indie online survival game on Steam. People like Mass Effect because of the easily cipherable story and flat but pronounced characters.

Shat out to avoid Scorpio.

andromeda's gameplay looks to be modeled after me3 multi which was low key awesome

Matt Rorie is the defenition of a dweeb.

edit: 'Bioware guy says that they'll definitely be using DA:I as the blueprint for Mass Effect'

Seriously, fuck that. Idiots. How about using fucking Mass Effect as the blueprint for Mass Effect, instead of your shitty single player MMO.

By Dark PhaZe Go To Postthat female model is an embarrassment

This is the work of a basement dweller in Photoshop with 5 minutes to waste.



Come on man, it ain't even hard.

Mass effect 1 was hinterlands in space with like... 4 decent set pieces lol

It was almost a carbon copy of DA:I across the board. Even down to the Tevinter/4eyed dudes across the isle that we don't really want to talk about.

Even the Spectre and Inquisitor lines could've been swapped out.

The only difference between the DA open areas and ME was the sci-fi and space worms. People will simply never place the aesthetic of DA next to Mass Effect though. Ever.

Even Dragon Age 2 got killed for the same shit that Mass Effect 2 made practice - cut and past dungeons everywhere. But its in space and the characters are in space too and suicide mission >>>>> whatever the hell is happening in fantasy land #487

Its been a long time since I played ME, but iirc there was nowhere near as much busywork in any of them as there was in DA:I

That game was rotten with shit, time-consuming quests

Bruh people go mad just trying to get off the citadel

And the mako, though I enjoyed it's all terrain fukkery, is worse than every time wasting mechanic this gen lol. Mass effect been wasting time like its getting paid to do it. Between getting dropped in the middle of asscraxia, nowhere and having to drive to Narnia in mass effect 1 to scanning planets for the not dying in the ending of mass effect 2... its dat aesthetic

Mass Effect 1 is my favorite of the series overall and nothing in that had to do with planet exploration. It was all about the story and the so-so world building. It was the fact that there was actually an interesting and motivated villain and not just a bunch of fetch stuff to kill time with.

Saren killed a guy that most diehard fans can't even remember. The Geth were more interesting than anything Daren ever did. Hell, you barely even deal with Saren.

After the citadel, Liara. Spelunking. Geth.
Overmind zombie maker plant. More Geth.
Awesome Awesome Noveria. Solaris shout out. Bugs.

You finally deal with Saren. Or Krogan drama. Or Ashley/Kaiden. Or an actual series making reaper conversation. Saren is... kinda there?

Chase Saren now. Oh wow, those Protheans were real af, beautiful planet.

80s out the elevator like a boss. Now Saren... (charisma check). Now reapers again.

Saren is a plot device, not a villain.

Dying

Also, dead asari make no sense

Switch is sounding half baked and not ready.

In other news the sky is blue.

hey fuck you

#NeverForgetNihlus

I remember being so pissed, thought it would have been cool to actually earn your spectre status. Not just get it handed to you..

By RobNBanks Go To Posthey fuck you

#NeverForgetNihlus

I remember a young DY being heated that the Asari consort on the citadel gave me good advice and no buns

A years long waiting list and no buns? I thought this was space dubai

Geth are the fucking putty patrollers of Mass Effect. Literally filler. Definitely not 'the villains'

By Hitch Go To PostWait



@sy, what difficulty are you playing Horizon on? Tempted to start with Very Hard, but worry that rather than turn it down to Hard/Normal I'll just bang my head against it like an idiot and end up hating the game.

Hard. Decent challenge.

Also, Horizon is great so far. Really good.


Combat is so damn good, Horizon 2 better have some monster hunter/lost planet coop.

Even by genre standards, Berserk looks fucking dreadful

By data Go To Post

Can't wait to see how people defend this shit.

tons of loot and crafting in Andromeda

god damn this shit doesn't need to be in EVERYTHING. sick of all the rng loot shit invading games . i'd much rather have substantial upgrades than 'oh this one does 4 more unscoped damage'. And crafting is such a boring timesink in single player gamers. Just have a selection of good ,varied guns that you can customize and new armor to unlock through quests and missions and not random shit that drops because Borderlands and Diablo sold a lot

By data Go To PostGeth are the fucking putty patrollers of Mass Effect. Literally filler. Definitely not 'the villains'

They had more affiliation to the main villains, "reapers", than Saren ever did lol. Saren isn't even Zemo tier. As a matter of fact, no one is even concerned about him until the very end of the story. Its arguable that Shepherd isn't even all that wrapped up in his schemes at that point. By the time Saren is actually putting in work on screen, the REAL threat is already more detailed, more intimidating, and much, much more pressing.

At least you can see the effects of the Geth. And not too long after they're introduced, you discover that they're not under Saren's command at all but instead working in good old AI faith to be accepted by and become like the Reapers. While visiting the second planet you've seen them destroy, you even get to see the machines pray. What's Saren doing when he's first allowed to show off his persona? He pulls a Kylo Ren in front of the Asari Matriarch over a guy that he really should've just made a priority to kill.

Can't call the Geth filler though. They own just as much screen time in all if the games to earn a man v nature argument just about. They're a part of a growing universe that is always gonna be in direct conflict with sentient life. Saren was nothing more than a hype man for a opening act. Flava Flav for the reapers' NWA.

RNG gear is a terrible idea in games that aren't based on having RNG gear as the primary feature.

e: like, that is something that is core to the game and you build around it; it's not a feature to be checkbox'd

By jjasper Go To PostCan't wait to see how people defend this shit.

Let me get that for you:

I can't play Mario or Zelda* anywhere else

Do people not remember mass effect 1 basically making that shit the norm? This IS Bioware too. When was the last time they didn't go loot crazy?

I love mass effect so much and yal are making me shit all over it lately

rng gear is terrible in literally everything

you can't ever be happy with a gun because you know you'll get a better one after three quests

rng gear is good literally for the narrow end game window in between expansions where you KNOW you're hunting for something that for a limited time won't be beat

thats one of my biggest issues with the witcher 3--bust your ass and get rewarded with some kings sword and its REALLY good, end up doing a quest where you kill bandit and end up with a better sword not three hours later lol

destiny avoided the issue because certain loot was such an insane headache that it actually was an achievement, but that decreased significantly in TTK and is a complete joke in ROI

By Smokey Go To PostLet me get that for you:

They wouldn't be wrong tho

By Adam Blade Go To PostI'll buy you a drink if you actually come to Socal. :3

I assume LA is socal?
I will be there but for work and only a few days which usually means no flexibility. I can't even catch a game this year. :(

Can't play Mario on it til November either ¬¬

Hence the Zelda* you can get that on Wii u

Mario on your iPhone

But Nintendo stans still gonna shell out $$ for broken half baked hardware on day 1

By Smokey Go To PostHence the Zelda* you can get that on Wii u

Oh yeah, shit.

By Dark PhaZe Go To Post*rng gear rant*

I'll disagree and use the Diablo series, particularly in HC mode, as an example. Like, the entire point of that game is to get better loot and see bigger numbers and watch more things explode quicker. The third game added greater rifts to challenge players to the point where they will hit a limit despite having the best possible gear.

Diablo 3 also helps with this by being able to reroll all stats or just a single stat on gear. Pretty much every feature of the game is focused around your gear. I'm actually struggling to think of a single aspect of the game that does not revolve around gear.

The story mode, I guess? But who gives a fuck about that. PvP mode is kind of lame, too, and no one plays it. That's basically all I can think of.

The game is a search for the perfect gear for whatever playstyle you want. And a lot of the reward for playing the game is in eventually collecting that gear set. HC mode makes it so that when you die, you start that search over or pick a new gear set to go after.

Destiny's gear upgrade/collection aspects pale in comparison.

nintendo are gonna release a new handheld in 2 years aren't they

switch has the weakest launch I've ever seen

By ReRixo Go To Postnintendo are gonna release a new handheld in 2 years aren't they

almost certainly

switch is literally what the wii u was basically supposed to be and is a sequel to that
