I've been sitting here for 5 mins trying to think of a joke to make but I just realised the animators of Mass Effect already did it for me

Thought exercise for the thread since we can't stop bringing it up: What is the Witcher 3 of movies? While we're at it, what is the Mass Effect 3?

Are those actual renders the deviant "artist" did? Or just edited screenshots?

Supposedly a screenshot of Citadel that the artist edited?

The Liara one looks like a a shot of her Citadel DLC model when you got the casino

The other one is definitely someone moving the camera to get a shot from ME2.

Do they have to pay some guy who's doing art of their copyrighted game if they use that in their stuff?

Not entirely sure about copyright law, but Bioware still owns the source material. DeviantArt can use it under fair use, I guess, but so can Bioware fair use their crappy screenshots or whatever.

If you do that, make sure you have primer abilities active, because it looks like Cora only has detonators.

I wonder if they'll even let you go planetside with less than two friends. Dragon Age has no problem letting you go solo if you drat well feel like it, but Mass Effect has never been so kind.

Citizen Kane is still my go-to example for film that redefined the concept of film, so I guess that's Witcher 3. Haven't really kept up with films on a critical analysis level lately though.

ME3 would be Prometheus? I'd like to be snarky and say every Marvel film since Avengers, but those are more like COD.

Carly shook her glass, willing the ice to melt. "You still haven't told me what the mission is."

She leaned forward. "We are going to assassinate the bad men of Hollywood."


ME3 is Prometheus, an extremely divisive and ultimately ambitious failure that will appear downright brilliant compared to what soon will follow.

I was wondering if someone was going to make a Hobbit comparison, though if the Hobbit was just one movie instead of three it wouldn't have as many problems.

I don't know, Witcher 3's a really very good game. I think most things in AAA RPG videogameland can be improved by adding Witcher 3 to the list of discussion.

thanks person on youtube, I just thought the animators were robots who had never seen a human before

People not buying LANoire went a lot deeper than not wanting good facial animation. That was a bad game with some really cool ideas.

That's not a bad thing, though.

All the choices you made in the original trilogy and how they build on each other would make writing a direct sequel a loving nightmare. Either you completely drop the decisions from the original trilogy and alienate long time fans because it will feel like nothing the player did mattered, or you alienate new people getting into the franchise because they will feel compelled to go play a game from 10 years ago to make sure certain plots move forward the way they want.

Mass Effect is a cool franchise that can be more than just ShepardQuest. I think the best way for the franchise to move forward was with a totally different setting and characters and Andromeda was a smart move because reboots (when done properly) can be great for bringing in a fresh audience. Hopefully they can make something new that is just as good as the original setting - they could have hosed up horribly but I'm willing to give it a chance.
