exquisite tea posted:The creepy thing about having a bunch of aliens aboard your ship who all wanna gently caress the PC is that the game ceases to be about writing characters with their own agency and personalities, and more about providing uniform sexual gratification to the player apart from any other considerations, because of course why wouldn't they want to sleep with you? It's offputting and weird. same

I hope Peebee has that stupid loving smirk on her face the entire game. If she doesn't then I hope someone releases a mod that makes it happen.

The only bad part of ME2 was taking out the infinite ammo gun technology. That was one of the more interesting things in the codex, and it's really dumb that they replaced it with ammo pickups like every other game.

Mass Effect 1 is the game where they really were banking on you loving the blue spacebabe because her motivations in ME2 make zero sense otherwise. Mass Effect 2 is the game where you as a commanding officer can put the mack on your secretary immediately and there is no non-sexually aggressive way for a female Shepard to address Jacob aboard the Normandy for the first half of the time.

It led to better gameplay, so who cares about already silly physics stuff. I do like them bringing it back as a main feature on Remnant weapons and an option for Milky Way ones though.

Fair point, I haven't played any of them beyond DAI in a very long time, and I've never played a female protagonist.

You can kinda tell they hastily wrote Feron into the DLC once they realized "hey wait a minute, allegedly some players did NOT gently caress our spacebabe waifu, why else would she risk rescuing Shepard's body from the Collectors and going up against the most powerful individual in the galaxy otherwise? I don't know, maybe she had a good friend or something?"

I actually got a chance to watch that weapon briefing video, some pretty cool stuff there - The shells reload was because of the upgrade they put in the katana - making it shoot laser beams. Sentinel does, in fact, get bonus protection from their profile You can get really crazy with the modifications - carnifex to bolt pistol and avenger to lightning gun.

And it's not like you didn't get anything out of the arrangement. Who doesn't like having their fish fed on a regular schedule?

BF1 is an online FPS, where 60+ fps maxed out is a baseline expectation of all players and the industry standard. I don't think it's going to be the same for Andromeda, especially if all the quick look reports of poor performance and low framerates are to be believed.

"Sorry my love, just tryna save my friend." "Yeah I guess I understand, I'm only trying to save all sentient life so you do you."

I had no problem forgiving her since I figured Timmy had cameras and mics everywhere anyways (if not a straight feed from EDI), so the fact that all he had was a single spy just said loads about his laughable operation. We didn't have dinner together BTW.

Also press builds being unoptimized is the norm, it really doesn't tell you much either way. You never did respond to me asking how EA giving people 10 hours of early access shows a 'lack of confidence' though. I expect you'll do your normal gimmick and just ignore posts that disagree with you.

I think it's easy to cut a 10-hour slice from a game like this to make it appear presentable, especially when it's split between SP and the MP which many people will want to try. More importantly, in order to access this, EA has already gotten some of your money, and I'd wager that most players who will participate have already pre-ordered Andromeda anyway. EA is essentially asking you to pay for a demo on a product you've already bought and already have an interest in wanting to be good. The people who will play this 10 hour early access thing aren't the ones who need to be convinced, by and large they've probably already paid for Andromeda. exquisite tea fucked around with this message at 20:06 on Feb 24, 2017 |

Also it isn't some preselected 10 hour slice. There will probably be a limit on the story but the free roaming stuff will be open. The game magically being good for the first 10 hours then turning to garbage is a pretty ludicrous conspiracy Basically the only thing that won't be apparent is the plot.
