hobbesmaster posted:Yes, but see the BOC title has history going back at least a year! Three. One of the original Mass Effect threads had the same name. Also, I must do this here and now, on the ground floor. AAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAH are you guys who went unspoiled in for a treat. If you thought the priiiize was hilarious, you ain't seen nothin' yet. Ze Pollack fucked around with this message at Mar 6, 2012 around 04:42 |

OAquinas posted:Also, I'm getting random hilarious ragdoll glitches/behaviors. Like when Shep and Liara are chatting in her cabin, they both turn their heads all the way to the right and left. Much like in ME2, the tile grout used at the intersection of the Normandy's floors and walls is just absolutely loving fascinating.

DoYouHasaRabbit posted:I'm just a little disappointed with what Bioware gave us so far. Still, it could be worse! In all honesty, this was the most likely outcome to begin with. They aren't gonna hit this one out of the park like they've done in the past; in even the best-case scenario, the structural issues that have been showing for the past four years are kinda starting to compound on themselves, and while they might be aware of problems awareness is not a substitute for a solution. Game ain't gonna be terrible, but it's going to have some serious flaws that only the deeply devoted will be able to overlook. It will get its 9/10s, its 5/5s, and its host of reviewers competing to come up with the best tagline to be slapped on the inevitable Mass Effect 3: Ultimate Edition. And in a month or two, player opinions should stabilize around 'not what it could have been, and not what it should have been, but if you can set aside (THING THAT WAS INDIVIDUAL PERSON'S WAIT WHAT THE gently caress MOMENT) it's an alright game.'

1stGear posted:Man, gently caress you Daletress. (Tuchanka spoilers)Not going to screw over three of my friends because you're a whiny little bitch who wants to genocide a race for a 'maybe'. That kinda pissed me off, honestly. Because while the Dalatress makes some pretty good points, thanks to Bioware Narrative Conventions you know for a fact the Krogan won't be a problem in the future. Much as you knew saving the Rachni was going to be totally consequence-free. If they had a negative repercussion it would be a complete game-changer, a choice that would change vast segments of the plot around, and as such you can safely assume it will never, ever happen.

Amateur Saboteur posted:I moved onto several other topics before I was quoted from the previous page. I can see how my posting can be conceived as homophobia but If the first 3 conversations you had with your squadmates ever were with Traynor, Vega, and Cortez and they all said those lines of dialogue I can't see how you wouldn't groan. I have both a very close lesbian and gay friend (hurr my friend is black, so I'm not racist, but still) in my life and I know for a fact I have nothing wrong with that lifestyle. I do however have an issue with how it's presented thus far in my short 3 hour stint into this game. Like I mentioned before, you can titty gently caress blue bitches and space sluts but even they don't beg for your cock the literal first time you meet them. He's not saying you're embarrassed. He's saying it's embarrassing watching a guy who played through two games of terrible flirty dialogue from anything with a vagina-analogue suddenly losing his poo poo at the fact A Gay Dude Is Doing The Same Thing. It is embarrassing to remember that people like you exist.

Mans posted:A couple of questions, i haven't bought the game: Yes! But don't worry, if you killed her the Reapers made another one. There is an actual change between the two, though. And the Turian councilor has had enough proof, yes.

Birudojin posted:Oh god, it's launch day. Just a quick one. The same old bug involving characters staring bottom-left and bottom-right's cropped up. Is this the same bug as in ME2, or just something similar?

Dr. Abysmal posted:Hm, the game seems confused as to whether or not I killed the rachni queen. When Wrex gives the mission, Shepard says "hey I killed them" and Wrex even says he was there (that was my ME1 choice and Wrex was there although I can't imagine it actually knew if he was in my squad or not), but Garrus said I didn't when we saw the first Ravager. Look, dammit, they spent a lot of time and money creating the Reaper-Rachni (spoiler warning: there are rachni) and allowing you to skip that bullshit just because you took a choice explicitly designed to skip that potential bullshit in the future would just be unfair. (also because it would mean a Renegade choice had an upside and quite frankly Bioware takes offense to that idea.)

Trapezound posted:I honestly didn't know who Jessica Chobot was until today. I thought Bioware had just looked for "inspiration" in pop culture and ctrl+c/ctrl+v'd from Jersey Shore. Once upon a time a gurl gamer licked a PSP, and got a job at IGN. Thaaaaaat about covers it.

Cowcaster posted:This is insane. Between this and the ending background from deviantart. Did BioWare outsource some of the art assets to a South Korean company that just did google image searches or what? Look son when you're bringing on such internet luminaries as the girl who licked a psp that one time you've got to trim the fat somewhere to come in under budget.

1stGear posted:That most of the choices you've made throughout the series actually have some sort of payoff in the game? Remind me what happens if I killed the rachni because I didn't want to fight again. Remind me what happens if I killed the council. Remind me what happens if I made Anderson a Councillor. 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.

1stGear posted: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. Remember that fine gent, Urdnot Wreav? Same voice actor, same model, slightly different dialogue but performs the exact same purpose as his poor dead brother? You're best off thinking along those lines.

1stGear posted:Do you want to provide some examples? Good news! Turns out there was more than one Salarian super-scientist who worked on the genophage and may/may not have had a change of heart, and coincidentally he's got all the information Mordin would have if, tragically, you didn't send him back with the crew during the suicide mission. Don't know if he sings Gilbert and Sullivan, though!

FirstPersonShitter posted:Uh with regard to the reapers' true purpose aren't they just stolen lock stock and barrel from the Revelation Space series by Alistair Reynolds? My money's more on the anime inspiration pointed out elsewhere, but that's just because I have a low opinion of Bioware's writing staff. That particular villainous motivation has cropped up all over the place in sci-fi. It's one of the things I don't have a problem with; it's just about the only way you can make 'yup we harvest species for some reason' not dumb as hell.

Fat_Cow posted:Tali related mission Spoilers Sometimes you have to make a lethal takedown. Stick with the geth. Genocide the Quarians. Then, later on, genocide the geth. And the Krogan. And the Rachni. Twice. Basically if Commander Mikaela "Always Selects Bottom-Right or Bottom-Left Response Regardless of Context" Shepard can genocide something it is going to be genocided. She shall reign over a galaxy of the dead and the dying, and when she sees a deus ex machina with an 'everything dies' button she's going to push it before the expository dialogue's even begun. They will tell stories of the Shepard, but they will mostly be the kind you tell to frighten small children, not entertain them.

The Sharmat posted:Why isn't Birudojin in charge of the Bioware official forums and why do they let anyone else interact with their fans in the first place? Because without the Bioware official forums to cage him, Stanley Woo would be able to go elsewhere on the internet. This is not a desirable thing. End of line.

Space Monster posted:I just beat the game and I have no idea What The gently caress happened. I understand that I blew up the mass relays and the reapers....but THERE IS SO MUCH MORE THAT NEEDS TO BE WRAPPED UP. WHAT HAPPENED TO SHEPARD? WHAT HAPPENED TO GALACTIC CIVILIZATION? WHY AM I NOT IN RIO GETTING DRUNK WITH JACOB RIGHT NOW? Also, I took Tali and Liara with me on the final mission, neither made it to the beam, and somehow they are both now on Normandy with Joker? Does not compute. The Mass Effect saga's conclusion, ladies and gentlemen: "Yeah, We Don't Actually Give A gently caress About Your Choices."

Rei_ posted:It's not like the entire series then has DE-happened, the ending is not Sheppard popping out of a loving tube in the year (whenever the gently caress ME1 took place) and Saren's popping a champagne bottle all like "CONGRATULATIONS, YOU JUST PASSED THE FINAL TEST, WELCOME TO THE SPECTRES" That would have been sweet as hell. Especially when you see your love interest was (ASARI SPECTRE #3) who immediately hands you a brochure on Sexual Harassment In The Workplace.
