Mazerunner posted:Kai LAME indirectly gave us the N7 Slayer in mutliplayer which despite being a big weeaboo class was cool and fun to play Sooo I actually went back and not only are there people playing ME3 multiplayer (alot too, I never have to wait more then a few seconds to get a game AND there is no lag) its possible (and easy) to Cheat Engine a crap ton of credits to buy packages with. Like rumor has it that the dude that did the MP banning doesn't even work for EA any more. I'm loving actually getting all the classes/weapons I missed out on and messing around with them.

ME3 had an enormous amount of poo poo to track over three games. CDPR did some of that with Witcher 3, but not nearly to the extent Bioware had. So yeah, the branching is very impressive considering how many different choices ME3 kept track of from the previous two games.

Yeah it's ok I guess. I just kind of lol at calling it "amazing". I'd put more at like "the minimum reactivity expected from a AAA role playing game".

I can't think of other series that have done that kind of major plot reactivity across multiple games. Of course the rest of ME3 was a letdown in that regard too.

I was just commenting on the reactivity of the plot line in general and not specifically the "cross game" aspect. I feel this is necessary just because if you were to measure "cross game decisions" as a thing the pool would be so small that it would be inherently biased. I mean Bioware itself has probably made half the games out there that even feature save importation as a thing.

The reason most series haven't done it is because it's a huge pain to do, which is why it's worth noting. Rannoch is the only other time in the series they tried and they still fell short. Meanwhile you've got things like the Rachni Queen and the Collector Base which might as well have not been choices in the first place, given how little impact they had.

There's a lot of stuff in ME3 where I picture Mac Walters in his hat he uses to cover up the fact that he's bald sitting there looking over an artist's shoulder and saying "loving Badass"

Chomp8645 posted:Yeah it's ok I guess. I just kind of lol at calling it "amazing". I'd put more at like "the minimum reactivity expected from a AAA role playing game". Funny how literally everything except Mass Effect 3 and a handful of other titles (like, two, three tops) fall below the minimum bar you're setting, then. I don't think including save imports for choices makes it inherently biased or whatever, the whole point of the comparison is that it's insanely hard to do that well and ME3 does it. Like, here's what the industry standard thing to do would have been: have Wrex die at the start of the genophage plot no matter what and then you have to work with Wreav, or have Mordin not appear in the game at all and make Padok Wiks the default. That wouldn't be taking the low road either, it would be doing what almost every other comparable title does in those sorts of heavily branched situations. Those aren't even decisions from this game: the whole Wrex/Wreav thing is based on a decision players made in a game from 2007. The fact that they acknowledge it at all is cool, but the fact that it has a significant effect on the game's plot and causes heavy branching is bonkers and incomparable to anything else in the industry. Look at how a company like Telltale, for instance, handles player-reactive character deaths: they just make sure it stops mattering within a few hours of gameplay so that they don't have to develop extra content for the branching. And that's not them being lazy, that's them submitting to one of the difficult realities of game development. For all its failings ME3 managing to skirt this and really make the carry-over choices count is a significant achievement.

I agree with you there that Telltale is bottom-of-the-barrel poo poo when it comes to genuine reactivity. They try to hide it with a lot of smoke and mirrors but their stories are barely more reactive that Shooter-Of-The-Year Corridor Plot. This is separate point from the overall quality of their writing. Bioware definitely does a better job than they do when it comes to that stuff.
