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.

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.

Any chance of a horribly timed and inappropriate announcement in light of today's tragedy? Battlefield Hardline 2 gameplay trailer inside of a club!

Yikes!

The lead writer and brains behind the lore left between Mass Effect 2 and 3. So that's why the story became literally nonsensical.

The new lead responsible for that worthless trash ending of 3 became the game director of the new one. Take that as you will.

Alright, you got me Titanfall 2. That multiplayer looks really good. This single player stuff is kaka, though.

So does this protagonist have a dead family he's out to get revenge for or is he estranged from them (daughter and mother)?

Hell yeah, fetishize The Great War. Such a heroic war full of tons of action and explosions! Can't wait to kill those evil Central Powers!

Looking foward to Ubisoft's conference, to be honest. EA's has always been boring and crap. Ubisoft's are at least entertaining one way or another.

Whoopty poo poo, more moving parts to break the engine. This building poo poo isn't a substitute for actual content, Bethesda.

Now will non-lethal have any good options? In the first game everything fun and good was lethal and everything non-lethal was boring. In fact, you only choked people out to stun them, there were no ranged options, if I remember correctly. Or only one ranged option.
