At least he like a wise one died.

Horizon Zero Dawn lets you hack a robot trex but you can't ride it it just sits there, worst game. Can't even gently caress a dinosaur.

I'm mostly just curious as to what the gently caress happened to him to set him off on this ridiculous crusade.

Trying to get back on topic, it's there a confirmed list of multiplayer classes at launch I can see?

Not really what I expected from Bioware after Trevor Morris delivered a very in-your-face main theme for DAI. I think I like it, feels like it's trying to evoke Vigil a little maybe.

Do your research. Amazon is fighting this practice with everything they have. And the software development has already begun to continue it. And it WILL be making it's way to get rid of forum shills if Admin wants to use it.

Maybe the heleus cluster has an environmental condition that gives humans puffy skin

Or maybe it's water retention from 600 years of cryo sleep. Yeah. Yeah that's what I believe

They look so weird and off putting and no wiafu material at all. We're supposed to masturbate to this?

Also Giantbomb seems to be unimpressed http://www.giantbomb.com/videos/giant-bombcast-472-weird-looking-space-people/2300-11926/ (They talk about the game starting about 1:03)

This might be the first ever Bioware game since they added customizable 3D characters in which I'll pick the default option, holy poo poo this could be straight out of Mass Effect, the first Mass Effect.

The thing I do not understand is how they go from getting Miranda spot on with her actor in older ME's, to Jayde Rossi to the ME:A female protagonist being one of the biggest abortions I have ever seen in the industry. The talent that jumped ship must be enormous.

I'm not sure you can say "ehrm, I think you mean raygun gothic" and then pretend that you don't care and who even cares about stupid words anyway.

Mass Effect isn't lowbrow either. A major plot arc in the series is about the genocide of an oppressed minority group by the existing political hegemony and the ethics involved in that. There is an extended dialogue with a robot about the differences in psychology between human beings and a culture that can communicate instantly with all members at will. As clumsy at writing as Bioware is, this isn't a text unconcerned with abstract ideas or social issues. Are you sure you know what lowbrow means?

The reason this comes up is that people use "pulp" (or "lowbrow" or whatever) as a tool with which to bludgeon the bits of Mass Effect they don't like. I think if you're gonna pretend to be a critic you should probably learn the words before you try to sing along.


Sovereign isn't a postmodernist, but the idea that the galactic liberal democracy everyone's been hurtling towards has in fact been shaped by the context of history and interstellar geography is. I mean, more than it is pulp anyway.
ME tries vaguely to broach larger conversations about the human (personal, social) implications of technology but all of them are almost spectacular failures. this is either low brow or middle brow or incompetent. much like you're posting. idk which one of these terms is truly adequate someone else can parse the semantics.

the series is good at creating action-adventure set pieces / somewhat longer sequences attached to rudimentary but effective emotional character arcs. it's a lot like a good comic book or sci-fi action movie. which is in fact exactly what it is. no more no less.

i will say (the one exception) that the genophage is actually a somewhat complicated and competently staged ethical/political dramatic story element. but it doesn't have anything to do with concerns particular to sci-fi as such.
