I have vague memories of it, and would like to know if I dreamed it up or if it really exists. sounds like netstorm, but you can't actually destroy other people's island, also, far from being a 4x

Nasgate posted:The problem with Mass Effect 1 was that part of its charm was being pretty. But the art styles Bioware use do not age well. So ME looks like rear end, plays like a 3rd person shooter of its time, and has the good/hilarious/awful/embarrassing writing Bioware is known for. It was great at first but by the 5th or 6th planet I explored, it had worn out its welcome. By the end I was very much done with it and never wanted to see it again. e: That said, I would love to see a game about galactic exploration that gets down to the planetary level. That one indie game looks like they're going for that but it looks overly-ambitious for such a small team. bloodychill fucked around with this message at 16:46 on May 15, 2015 |

It's something they really should have refined for 2 rather than dumping completely and replacing with a lovely boring mini game.

Sakurazuka posted:It's something they really should have refined for 2 rather than dumping completely and replacing with a lovely boring mini game. I think it kind of fits the tone of the game to drop it. 1 was more about exploration whereas in 2 you had a more specific mission and bosses who were less willing to let you go do some peaceful planet-hopping. It wouldn't have fit at all in 3 because of the urgency of getting to the shitshow last third of the game.

They're still there, I just feel less of a need to preach about the awfulness that is JRPGs and the overt amount of poorly made Isometrics. Enjoying these games seem to be a genetic deficiency and I cannot get mad at people for being who they were born to be. In the spirit of Good Games: Do you like fire Emblem? Do you like Endless Legend? Do you like Civilization but wish you could cast spells and charge an enemies flank? You should get Age of Wonders 3

I will say though that the latest Expac, Eternal Lords, is completely worth full price for what it adds. Also, we are currently holding a tournament and goon Thyrok is streaming the match soon. http://www.twitch.tv/Thyrork/ Match is starting

Picked up Répiblique a few days ago. So far it has had the most professional feel of any mobile game I have played. The totalitarian big brother story isn't too strained and the gameplay doesn't feel forced.

Real hurthling! posted:i liked it better than what the series became but yeah its rough as hell. It is the best Bioware game but yeah pretty uneven. The highs are 10x as good as the lows though. Jumping on/off cliffs in the Mako was so fun, and shooting rockets at the earth from the Moon, and the 'sticky' cover system owned better than most other games'.

Those guys made the game they wanted to make and it's a lot better than the wasteland of uninteresting grey poo poo that has been flooding the new console gen. They are cool in my book.

It's just unfortunately not a very good game. And still, I like Tank Girl and Transmetropolitan as much as any shameless goon but I'm not going to glue together a punk kangaroo costume and show up to e3 in it.

You know, the game where Mass Effect copied the whole planet exploration shebang from, except making it boring and bad. The mako is fine, it's just that you only get to drive it in fractal wasteland and crappy shooting gallery canyon.
