I thought they literally took this image and just shifted her pupils really far to the left. It's like Tali's trying to see something really hard just to the side of her, but can't turn her head.

On the animated window here http://www.gametrailers.com/ for 'The Games of March', that isn't Tali's face is it? I've been avoiding that, but that looks like it could be.

Just had a really nice scene with Garrus having a shooting competition in the Presidium. They really went out of their way to wrap all the loose ends and relationships up. It makes it very clear that this is the end of Shepard's story.

Shotgun talk: Which one do you prefer? Currently using the Eviscerator, pondering whether to save up for the Spectre version or just level up the Scimitar. The N7 shotgun is alright but I feel like I should be using a heavy pistol over it if I wanted to headshot dudes from cover. The Scimitar feels like it always did (the King of Shotguns). I didn't preorder from Origin so I can't comment on that other Shotgun and I'm not sure which others I'm missing.

Jarmel posted:Oh and Grissom Academy is a madhouse. The atrium fight is easily the hardest fight in the entire series. I found the Academy fight to be a really interesting challenge. Old school, really. You had to run it a few times and really place priority on killing the gently caress out of the c.engies, as well as camping those shield generators whenever possible. I was never really frustrated when I died, but ready to approach the problem with a new tactic. What worked for me? Solder Shep (pure assault/shotty) with Garrus and Liara, Garrus mostly Overloading turrets and engies, Liara sucking up the shield Guardians. Dont get stuck in cover, but for gently caress's sake move when you have to, the A button is there for a reason. I do love a man with Pull now though. gently caress mailslotting x.x

This is like when you have your science project due the next morning at 8 and you look around and all you have are pipe cleaners and some styrofoam...like literally Bioware googled "royalty-free images" hours before the game had to ship That or it's a masterful trolling of all the Tali fans. I hope it's that actually, no way they are that incompetent

1stGear posted:Hahahahahahahahah Jesus. I saw that picture of one of the endings (I guess spoilers) and I thought that was bad, but at least there was enough changes that they were inspired by it. This is just eye-rolling awful. You'd think they would care enough for a main character to at least do an original design (or at least make a 3d model and show that). e: rizuhbull already beat me to it, but at least mine has someone asking for permission to use the image in their "little game".

Its a picture you only see if you romance Tali in ME2 and ME3, if I understand correctly. They probably expected most people wouldn't see it so didn't put that much effort into it. So much content and detail has been crammed into this game that some of the edges ended up getting pretty frayed. But writing the whole thing off because Bioware phoned in two images is juvenile.

Yeah, it was definitely intentional, when the trailer was announced those two images were even shown side by side. It's a bit wierd they gave that specific image to gamestop to advertise their deal, but y'know, maybe they didn't have a hand in it and Gamestop just chose something striking.

ChibiSoma posted:Stealing = Phoned in. Oh God, you're right. Bioware used two images they had permission to use in two distant parts of the game. Literally everything is ruined. That every ME2 character has at least a quest centered around them with extensive voice-acting? Meaningless. That most of the choices you've made throughout the series actually have some sort of payoff in the game? Pointless. There's a pretty extensive multiplayer mode that actually came out very well? Who cares. They slacked on two images, one of which most people won't see. The entire game is ruined, Bioware is dead, the gaming industry is a smoking crater. Also, I'm mostly okay with the endings, sorry defeating the omnicidal space squids didn't leave the galaxy perfectly sunshine and kittens.

Ok so this is my last crack at this. I posted a few pages back about how my saves weren't recognized, even though I went through all the steps (renaming directory, etc) in order to fix it. The more pressing problem now is that my game refuses to save. I restarted, uninstalled Origin and ME3, reinstalled them, and then I started a vanilla character just for kicks and the game won't quicksave, or save from the menu. Could this be a problem with a lack of connection with my Bioware Social account? I'm really stumped with this one, and right pissed that a brand new game is flat out unplayable.

The thing is the Tali thing is something people have been waiting for since the first game. Phoning that in is kind of a slap in the face. Would it have taken that long to make a piece of artwork or something?

They put up a poll on Facebook asking if Tali's face should ever be revealed, that suggests they weren't planning on doing it originally. I haven't seen it myself, I haven't even completed my Tali-romancing ME2 game yet.

rizuhbull posted:Thank you for proving blatant fanboyism is thriving. As if all the poo poo Bioware has pulled is excuseable because "but waddabout the multiplayer, guys!". Bioware has a fortune, they can hire their own defense force, they don't need you to try and do it for them. No, you're getting really loving desperate at this point if you're trying to use a promo image as yet more proof that Bioware is the Great Satan of game development. Maybe wait a bit, hope for more word of mouth to roll in, so your latest salvo won't just wind up with you embarrassing yourself.

Remind me what happens if I saved/destroyed the Reaper Base. Remind me what happens if I killed (INSERT LITERALLY ANY MASS EFFECT 2 CHARACTER HERE.) There are defenses that are easy to mount. That one? Not among them.

I'm really curious as to what changes if you do have dead ME2 characters, because pretty much every one I've met has done something significant that resulted in additional voice acting, frequently war assets, and generally badass moments.
