ASARI EYEBROWS

ESRB posted:

... clothed alien/human characters may prop a partner on top of a space console, clear away the clutter from a bed-slab, unzip a future-blouse, or just talk it out. Though an alien/human may gyrate her hips while on top (fleeting—one-to-two seconds), actual sex is never depicted—the camera cuts away to space furniture and ceilings.

Yeah, ME2 was their best one.

A future blouse and space furniture are so funny. Is the furniture actually in space? Does she ever wear past or present blouses?

So Andromeda will have "moderate impact nudity" and "strong impact sex", while Witcher 3 had "strong impact nudity" and "high impact sex", a step up in both categories. At least that means Bioware won't try to score points with the audience for having the most graphic sex ever. Hopefully they rather used the graphic design time to improve the facial animations.

For context, Witcher 3 had full body nudity but no visible genitals. So in MEA there will probably be toplessness but everyone keep their briefs and panties on? And which is more intense between high and strong?

I really wanted someone who bought the first game because of Fox News to sue them.

Nah, DAI had full body and got the same "strong" rating as Andromeda. Witcher probably got high rating because of the brothel scenes, it's the frequency (and sheer number) they can occur that bumps it up over DAI and probably Andromeda.

No I'm usually too busy cringing. But there's a market for it so we're along for the ride, I guess.

Someone should make a mod that replaces all sex scenes with crayon stick figures drawn on paper rubbing against each other while heavy breathing plays loudly.

Kai Leng would have worked a lot better if he had his own crew & ship that acted as a foil to yours.

But I guess that would have required more effort and compromised the Mary Sue sooooo

Looks like the ratings are the same as DA:I.

But like someone said, the ESRB rating description will be fun because it gave us this: The game includes some sexual material: a female character briefly depicted in front of a man's torso (fellatio is implied); characters depicted topless or with exposed buttocks while lying in bed or after sex; some dialogue referencing sex/sexuality (e.g., “'I will bring myself sexual pleasure later, while thinking about this with great respect'” and “The way your t*ts bounce when I pin your arms and take you on the side of the bed…”). The words “f**k,” “sh*t,” and “a*shole” appear in dialogue.

God I love ESRB descriptions.

And everyone was worried about facial animations being wooden.

Clearly they're spending all the dev time and effort on more important things like bouncing tits, whipping hair and realistically flexing rear end muscles mid coitus.

Maybe secret alien party member will be a suit of armor with a butt where the face normally goes to save on dialogue animations.

Around this time in ME3's cycle Bioware dropped the MP demo on Origin, and despite only having two stages and one enemy faction it completely owned and was all I played for 1.5 months right up to the release of ME3.

Supposedly we'll learn more about the multiplayer before the month is over, which could mean next week.

We'll learn that the cover mechanic has been removed from multiplayer and replaced with a Have Sex special action button on the gamepad.

There's no industry standard for what either of these terms mean. It's at the discretion of the developer. Always assume it's a marketing buzzword when you are the player and you're signing up for access to a games so called "test."

Which is why I was wondering what the hell is going on after the massive success that the ME3 multiplayer was. I guess EA figures it just better to keep quit

To be fair having an access subscription gives you a 10% discount on purchases so if you end up buying the game you aren't paying any more.

If its a dud you are out $5 though, for sure

EA Access does have other perks associated with it, but I wouldn't pay for it just to play one game early.
