If it gets pretty sick goon reviews for the single player I'll snap it up right quick, but if the multiplayer turns out to be the diamond in the rough I'll probably never buy it for more than free.

Also, it's been 7 years since I played ME2 and my memory might be kind of fuzzy but wasn't Grunt basically 'born' when you find him? Why would these people who cut off all contact and left the Galaxy a century before have a picture of him?

What are people thinking for their first builds? I'm thinking engineer pet class, Remnant VI, Assault Turret, Invasion. Let everyone else do the fighting for me, but given the love for them here, I'm guessing most people will go for a vanguard-eqsue build?

CottonWolf posted:What are people thinking for their first builds? Infiltrator, with cryo blast and energy drain as my go-to powers, then get Combat powers like flak cannon and that one power that spawns a chest high wall for you.. Later I think I'll invest in some biotic skills like Lance and eventually Charge.

Vanguard is what I played most in me2 and me3 and I have a hard time believing I will do anything else first. I have a few ideas for the twins, including one based on my wife and her twin, so maybe I will play Wife Ryder as whatever my wife wants.

I'd emptyquote my post a few pages back about stupid poo poo that people inexplicably insist is important. This is exactly the kind of thing that should get minimal resources devoted to it, because normal people don't scour the internet for stock photos that might have been the source for images featured in codex entries. Why should they spend an artist's time creating a new picture of a Krogan when they could buy an existing one that's just as good and that has been seen by maybe a few hundred people (and remembered by far fewer)? "To avoid pissing off the obsessive people who ask nasty questions at con panels" is not a great answer.

Picture holding a job sitting at a desk where you bullshit tasks are determined by a bunch of gamer expectations. There's nothing but contempt and want for a paycheck there.

why waste artists and animators time making sure the guns are pointed the right way around in cutscenes only obsessives will get bent out of shape over it

Seems it leaves a little while after ME2 ends, they could have a photo of Grunt at some point if you really want to think about it. Also, believe it or not... Grunt is probably more recognizable to new players than Wrex is.

Backwards gun is fuckin funny and looks real bad for them, using a stock photo and doctoring it for the tali picture that has a lenseflare on it anyway so you can barely see jack poo poo doesn't matter. You're kind of a dweeb if you post that poo poo like you've solved a murder mystery and caught Bioware in the act of hiding the body.
