Mass Effect 2 lets you defenestrate a man from a trillionth story window for doing his job, making it the superior ME game.

Again I think this was Bioware earnestly trying to address an issue after the fact, and going about it in a clumsy way. Which I infinitely prefer to them not trying at all.

They're getting better all the time. :unsmith: (Except their games aren't).

Yeah Bioware was like 'man we realize we hosed up with not having any same gender romance things, so for now and going forward we're going to include it, starting with the new content in Rise of the Hutt Cartel, on Makeb'. It wasn't literally 'this is the planet of gay people', it was just that they only realized their mistakes after release, and started adding it in post release. Every single story content since Hutt Cartel has had a few SGR options to at least flirt with - even the minor events like the Bounty Hunter week have them nowadays.

Carly shook her glass, willing the ice to melt. "You still haven't told me what the mission is."

She leaned forward. "We are going to assassinate the bad men of Hollywood."


I glazed over a whole bunch of probably stupid goon treatises about The State of Bioware but I want you to know that Mass Effect, every single part of it, totally and utterly owns.

Except for Andromeda, this is almost assuredly gonna suck. :(

Pillars of Eternity is the best 90s/early 00s Bioware game.

I really liked that game but I was kind of disappointed in how uneven everything was. The world felt very deliberately designed (so loot was insanely boring and mundane, nothing felt like a genuine artifact of power rather they all felt like slightly better version of current items and ect.), the companions were uneven and some classes were just flat-out better than others.

I'm looking forward to see what they do with Tyranny. The premise is really awesome.

That sounds like a slim version with better output options for their teevee content, rather than an actual upgrade.

I'm good thanks.

They're starting off by acknowledging Orlando and I doubt they're gonna be at the top of their game. Was hoping for a fun stream to make the day brighter. :smith:

It's cool that you get an iron giant buddy in the single player campaign of Titanfall 2 but you're still playing a generic soldierman. Luckily I loved the heck out of the gameplay in the first one so I'm looking forward to that game's multiplayer.


With Mass Effect, I do get a good laugh at how people think including gay or trans or people of color is "shoving it down my throat". While I do agree what being gay shouldn't be the defining characteristic of the character, I think a lot of people hide behind this excuse so that no gay or trans character is added.

I'm pretty sure word on the street is there was going to be one of these, but also an xbox One Point Five codenamed Scorpio, as a counterpart to the PS4 Neo. So that'll be the thing to watch out for if you want to buy a second xbox one for some reason.

even 16 years later we got ZDTV haters. gently caress y'all. Call For Help, The Screen Savers, GameSpot TV/Extended Play/X Play, etc. all rocked. Only lovely show on there was Silicon Spin and I'd probably actually like that now that I'm older. Leo Laporte is my hero and dude can show his dinger on live webcams and television all he wants.
