COMMENCE THE RITE OF SHITPOSTING

My favorite thing in FFX is when you learn the Hymn of the Fayth is a song they used to sing before blitzball games in ancient Zanarkand to get hype

Whenever people are praying in FFX or at church in FFX, they're singing the game world equivalent of Are You Ready For Some Football

Honestly that is one of the most relatable and believable things about the setting

just credit rolled ME2

GOD it's still so loving good, the way everything builds to the suicide mission and pulling the whole loving thing off in the most badass way possible

i liked the baby reaper twist tbqh, reapers gotta come from somewhere, and processing an entire race and its culture and turning it into one of the machine gods that police's the galaxy is cool and destroying it is extra loving cool. yeah it's just a big half finished T101, but most of the series cribs set pieces and other tropes from all kinds of media, the main basic framework of ME1 is like the old Star Trek tv show with blue aliens to gently caress even

i feel like this is turning into a red ending, even though canonically i feel green is the "best paragon uwu" ending because you get to save the geth, but gently caress it, we can make more geth, no gat drat space robot wizard gonna whisper craziness in MY ear

edit:
annoyingly after the IFF mission and during Legion's loyalty mission, you get some really bizarre paragon selections. i feel like they really limited themselves by trying to shoehorn everything into Paragon/Renegade, because Shep waffles constantly on her feelings towards AI/VI and the geth and one minute destroying some geth is good, the next Legion joins your crew, then when you start the dang loyalty mission, Paragon is against rewriting the geth at the outpost to Legion's core, but then by the end the paragon choice is to do it instead of destroying them?

oh boy lets fight this totally not random and completely convincing weird terminator baby. that's a great way to end this game. hot take: mass effect 1 was the only good one. shooting was kinda eh but still more interesting than the completely unoriginal cover shooter #69420 and you could actually explore an interesting galaxy.

he straight up dissolves the dwarf congress and rules alone as an enlightened despot, I liked that that ending since he does good things but it is not like all roses and happiness ever after

but really, compare to what happens if you side with the other guy who's an idiot traditionalist conservative: new king passes some laws strengthing the caste system and power of the nobility, which causes a rebellion from the lower castes, he also refuses to engage with the surface (human kingdoms) and the isolated dwarf kingdom just slowly declines into chaos and civil unrest. which sounds eerily familiar :thunk:

so basically the fall of the roman republic

i did like how DAO implied that every origin took place at once and it's just that one randomly got saved at the last second to be marched to the wall

sure the plots are jank-rear end poo poo but ME1 has a distinct lack of biotic charge

I remember crying my eyes out laughter at people who made their dwarf PC in the first Dragon Age game go to town on that Spanish elf character.

Or made their character extra ugly to make the sex scenes with people like Morrigan even more hilarious.

Actually the Pro move is getting Morrigan to gently caress Allistar since they hate each other.

How do you get morrigan and Alistair together

And his finest moment is leaving the party while wearing the best armor, absolutely amazing they had the balls to do that

My favorite part about this is that Alistair afterwards would be like "wait I thought killing one of those things was supposed to kill the grey warden that did it" and you could respond with "yeah weird how that happened, prophesy is old must be wrong."

maybe this is a weird personality test but all the grey warden stuff in da:o just slid off my brain as uninteresting past a certain point while the da2 plot was weirdly compelling

I mean DA:O is pretty generic, the social status of the elves and the templar/mage conflict were like the only things they tried to make thier own


DA2 tried to tell the story of a town and the people who inhabit it. I always like framing a story against a setting than a cast of characters so it was a nice try, too bad about the horrible Awesome Button combat and reused maps and merill and i like big boats and i cannot lie and so on and so on

I hate DA2 for a number of reasons but one of the big ones that sticks with me after all these years is that the most interesting storyline (the Qunari) wraps up about 5 story beats too early to set the stage for a painfully generic ending where templars fight mages again.

I feel like DA2 had a plot change at some point, since it feels like Kirkwall is basically designed to be the setting of a horror game, what with the massive blood / leylines comprising the entire city. Like, if the ending was 'cthulhu shows up' you wouldn't bat an eye, but that never happens.

DA1 had the same problem, like, oh man all of my characters are covered in blood an viscera! ...aaaaaand now they're just talking about dwarf politics like nothing's wrong

it's like bioware wanted to make a grim, bloody, m-rated game but had no idea how to change the writing to fit

same thing happened with jade empire now that i think about it, it took until a second playthrough for me to learn i could make people explode and that was pretty much the entire reason the game got an M rating

No one has any idea and there are a ton of rumors around about it. IMO the one that I heard that I think is the most plausible is that he committed sexual assault and Twitch shitcanned him and cancelled his contract over it when they found out
