AriadneThread posted:right after half life 3 Or at least when its revealed that China loved Jade Empire. I can see this game mostly being mediocre outside of possibly really Horizon Zero levels of Uncanny Valley facial animations. Decent space wizard combat and shoot mans, but Jesus Christ, don't loving interact with the humans. I'm taking aliens around just to make sure I don't barf during every cut-scene.

Jeza posted:You can trip over yourself into romantic relations with pretty much the whole cast so probably. One time I had to backpedal furiously because I selected a seemingly innocuous chat wheel option with Jacob and suddenly I was one step from having unstoppable steamy sex right then and there. Jacob's pretty much the only romance in 2 that you can stumble into. And it's much weirder than the similar thing with Liara, since for Liara, it's her going "She talked to me! Twice! It must be love!", and if you aren't interested, Shepard has to actively shut it down. Meanwhile, for Jacob, it's Shepard who's setting up the minefield. She likes those abs, and unless you make your dialog choices very carefully, she's going to start hitting on him. Relentlessly.

Every time I see a video like that I can't help but think of some video uploaded a while ago showing how bad the combat of Wolfenstein The New Order but was actually just someone being deliberately bad at it. Of course I don't pre-order games so I'm safe no matter what the outcome.

I'm having issues with ME1, specifically with healing. At the very beginning there were plenty of medigels to loot, but now that I got to the Citadel, I ran into the assassin on the way to talk to that drunken sec guy about Garrus or something like that. I'm almost dead and I'm not sure either how to easily get more medigels or heal myself some other way. Is this a thing that just becomes easier, sort of how like in Witcher 3 you get your rear end kicked when you first go into Velen, but then it smooths out a bit? e: also the game doesn't support a controller which sucks. Sometimes I like to lean back in my chair and relax.

You can refill your medigel anytime for free either in the Normandy med bay or the clinic in the wards on the Citadel.

None of the Mass Effect games have controller support, you need to mod them for that. Mass Effect 1 Mass Effect 2 Mass Effect 3 They all swap out the PC interface for the console interface, so make sure you set you graphics setting fist because those menus don't exist once you install the mods. Also the interface in ME1 gets even worse since they actually improved the awful menus for the PC release. Looks like Andromeda will be the first ME game that actually has controller support.

I had to look them up on youtube to figure out who all these new characters were and why I should care. The Warden fights in 5 were kinda fun too.

Is this a thing that just becomes easier, sort of how like in Witcher 3 you get your rear end kicked when you first go into Velen, but then it smooths out a bit? I just started ME again and besides the free dispensers mentioned above, enemies frequently drop medi-gel too. Make sure to check all vendors you come across for "medigel upgrade" (also: "grenade upgrade") so you can store up to 10 of them before you go into a mission expecting combat. Difficulty in ME is largely in encounter design (eg. krogans rushing you in close quarters), but yeah, it does get easier as you get more familiar with the combat and gain more talent points. The way gear works also makes things easier in the longer run - the better tiers of manufacturers/equipment lines don't even drop at lower levels (you get access to a new rank of drops from I through X every 6 levels), so a fresh start sees you run around the citadel with low level, poo poo tier gear only.

Yeah, I've leveled a bit, got a few health regenerating abilities and armor mods. Just became a specter which looks like those talents are pretty strong as well. The game is starting to really come together, definitely enjoying it now. Also got a new keyboard with a mute shortcut, so that solves the codex narration thing I complained about.

also, since you're playing on the PC, you can console yourself more talent points and better gear, Cause it's a pain in the rear end getting the Savant and Colossus gear in X otherwise. And there's some cool looking, if not mechanically great, armors that are PC Only.
