I don't want to piss on anyone's chips, but the gameplay footage for ME: Andromeda looks like more of the very average same.

Still better than anything Croberts is capable of, obviously.
it did look a bit odd, yeah. someone forgot the vanguard mantra of ALWAYS BE CHARGING

if vanguard in me:a isn't high risk/high reward biotic murder pinball then what's the point?

My favorite part is that the most effective way to kill someone wearing advanced hard-plate armor is to hit them with the stock of your rifle.


Plebian Armor Vulnerable to Butt Stroking


Super Advanced Armor with Revolutionary Anti-Butt Stroke Technology
armor is p bad at stopping blunt force trauma, but yeah unless that stock is secretly a warhammer, it's not going to do anything

but what if...instead of a gunsword you had a gunhammer???

so in planet coaster this weekend i almost finished building this coaster station i'd been working on for days, then i got fixated on recreating a part of puerto pollo from the curse of monkey island so i built a few mostly finished buildings and tried to fit them around the coaster station and sculpt the terrain to match, but i didn't have enough room so i switched to sandbox mode and half-built some more buildings and sort of blocked a bridge and river, worked on a waterfall to the point where i was pretty sure i could finish it for reals later, and struggled with stair paths and terrain until i realized that if i wanted to make all of plunder isle in planet coaster, i'd have to completely rethink the overall plan and that meant locating puerto pollo far away from the park entrance so what i really should be doing is starting with the rides and theming near the entry and that's just a bunch of jungle next to a beach on plunder isle so i could do whatever i wanted really so i started on that

so now i have a bunch of half-baked prototypes and proofs of concept to show for all the time i've spent (which is ample)

i'm figuratively cloud imperium games

I would hate to have you as attorney because your definition of "right" has more holes than my favorite sock.

Fact (pay attention): MoMa only talked about Evocati build rolling out. The debate - at the time - had NOTHING to do with SM being in it or not.

Aside from the fact that the CIG schedule already had a date, and the build was expected - despite being moved twice.

So MoMa saying that Evocati builds were going out - and they did - has NO bearing on ANYTHING. The entire discussion is about whether or not SM was in that 11-30 release. It wasn't.

while this point might work against me in the context of CiG, i have to say it: big businesses that are shipping profitable products (bethesda games) are rarely going to take the time to fix-up fundamental issues in their engines unless they really really _really_ have to, by the time you barely ship & patch & maintain the game you're working on right this second, plans and concept work are already happening for the next project, the game programmers don't all go into a big room and start putting stickies on the wall for things they wanna clean up tech-debt wise and get "ready" for the next project. the next project is already on the rails and the minute they are done with their current project they are yanked off and are prototyping elements of what's to come.

the time to get certain kinds of axiomatic engine-bound things right is usually the first time, anything else will be written off as a waste of money and time by the money wizards above you. a healthy company tries to balance tech debt against product deadlines, but rarely can core engine things just "be fixed". like, oh you want to change how the sorting works for this kind of scene? well that's impossible because the way the realtime lighting is set up for this scene means you'd have to use an entirely different scheme for how such and such is calculated and now you also have to update all the gizmos and level editing tools that work with said lights. or we could say "hey our engine isn't meant for this kind of scene that requires this kind of sorting, let's just hide the issues with it by doing $HACK and get this thing shipped"

this doesn't help paint CiG in a good light though because it's not their engine and CryTek is falling apart and CryEngine is already a crufty mess of very specific hacks to make Crysis-like games work. NOT big mega space mmos with no specific scope.
is this why the ctd errors i was getting in call of duty infinite warfare have been around for like 10 drat years of cod games?

if they were serious about traveling to multiple systems, professions, or playing with more than 6 people at once or whatever, they would've done it already. it would be barebones and look ugly as hell, but it would be playable.

and if they're actually serious about all that, then it's not in because they can't figure it out after 4 years.

My dream game would be tentatively called Night Mayor. You start out as just an every day bad guy, and you slowly accumulate assistants and gang members and you start working your way up the food chain, murdering, blackmailing, kidnapping and threatening your way towards eventually controlling the vast city's underworld. All the while, other players are doing the same.

Barring that, I would be happy with a 40K MMO. (I want to get down in the trenches against Necron, Tau, Chaos and more.)
