fruit on the bottom posted:Kotor2 was an ambitious mess and while it was fun and good, lol at everyone trying to defend it by pointing out the fan patch that came out a decade later to finish the game. Mass Effect Andromeda is a critically underrated timeless classic with an amazing plot, extensive base building and dozens of worlds to explore along with 600 hours of dialogue. Uh, that's with a 500 GB fan patch though. -Someone in 20 years time on this forum, maybe

They're a large games distributer and publisher in Eastern/Central Europe. Although their dev work probably eclipses that business at this point.

The story of video games has proven time and time over that just because an engine isn't opened for modding doesn't mean you can't mod it. There are mods for DAO, for instance, or XCOM1 or KotOR2 we literally just talked about. Some people are shitposting a bit itt.

hard counter posted:i've read neither the novel nor played kotor 2 but if kotor 2 was such a drastic thematic 'from my point of view the jedi are evil' shift then other materials retconning it makes sense, especially if bioware was left to try and make something coherent out of a project that had a different outsider vision from their own In KoToR2, they didn't make the Jedi evil or the Sith good, they just acknowledged you can commit atrocities in the name of the greater good or commit acts of evil for all the right reasons, basically adding a small element of grey to the otherwise black and white universe of Star Wars.

That being said, you also need a dedicated super-nerd to fix everything that's wrong without making things worse. See: the Unofficial Patch for Bloodlines.

it's my understanding that splitting the rights on comic book movies led to legendary and warner studios parting ways in 2013 and mass effect was going to be a joint venture between them due to the way the production/distribution rights were optioned between them, it's been stuck in development hell since 2008 and seems to be dead in the water since the one film those studios are doing together isn't a mass effect fans still holding out for a movie were literally counting on andromeda to revive interest and prove the franchise's marketability

The things that work really work; I don't think I've seen a game since that is as reactive from a narrative standpoint. On the other hand, the things that don't work… really don't work, and so a lot of the really neat stuff is buried in a game that a lot of people didn't bother playing through to find.

Dungeon Siege 3 had maybe the least bad combat system of any Obsidian game I've played. It was even pretty entertaining, especially on higher difficulties. The story though, who remembers any of it except JAYNE KASSINDER.

Not sure if anyone posted this a couple months back or not. I just came across it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QlK0-l5ZvNs This guy works for EA, has a YouTube channel and basically tears ME:A apart. Beating a dead horse sure but he's entertaining IMO.

So I finished the game last night, I liked the idea of the story but it had some issues with the execution. Obviously there's some giant missing holes in the story about the Kett and the Scourge but that's supposed to leave it open for ME:A2, ME:A3 basically. I get why people are bitching, they wanted the game to be better than ME2 & ME3 delivered but honestly, it was fun to play and I enjoyed it. Something I didn't like: I wish they had a better weapon test system, like a target range or something. My very last mission, since I had the weight because I invested in those weight reduction combat points since my level was high enough outside of biotic, I brought along a hesh shotgun, first time using it. Ended up using it the entire time and wondering why I didn't try it earlier.. Had an absolute blast with it, Semi-auto 13 clip powerhouse shotgun.. charge/nova/annihilation floats them and SHOTGUN FINISH!

The problem is people wanted Bioware to deliver what was promised on the box. Exploring new worlds? You're months late for that. First Contact with new races? We brought our own Citadel, and the locals have already met the people we Exiled. Exploring alien ruins? Well they're all intact and fully active. You think maybe we should examine these neat artificial and self-contained biomes with alien plants? No? We're just gonna push the button and run, never coming back to any of these facilities again? Okay, I guess...  . What about the bigass mostly-intact ship crashed on a planet? We're just gonna run through it, deal with the stolen power core and never ever go back to explore it properly? Okay, alright...  .

I think it's just the paradox of expectations. I wouldn't have bought the game if it wasn't named Mass Effect, but I also wouldn't have cared if it was a mediocre failure if it wasn't Mass Effect. Story aside the gameplay, set pieces, and visuals took a huge step back from even Mass Effect 2, which is a shocking self-own.

What would have been cool is if ME:A was really like Planet of the Apes, and it turns out that the Arcs went back and this is what's left of the Milky Way. They could even find the Citadel at the end. Too bad aping Planet of the Apes was too difficult for Bioware

Yea I'd argue the first 2 points can be more fluid but boy was I bummed to see that the total extent we gently caress around with this cool mysterious machine ruin bullshit is 'find glowies to hit, jump some platforms, shoot some robots, run from the big ol smoke thing that did look really cool the first time you did it but became just kinda meh the fifth'.
