Mr President posted:then go play Zelda or Horizon. Still far superior games. With so many truly great games out and coming out in Early 2017 there is zero excuse to throw $60 in the toilet and put up with EA's crap over this game. Horizon is a really great game and it blows my mind that Guerrilla could recognize they had a deficiency in story writing, and therefore recruited the project lead from Fallout: NV to direct their narrative. Mass Effect, coming off one of the most divisive and maligned endings to a trilogy ever, hired the guy who wrote Halo 4 to land the plane.

Urthor posted:Have we figured out which companions are going to be even mildly close to as good as ME2's companions yet? The Krogan seems really generic Krogan, which means good, but all of the other companions revealed so far seem like the worst ones introduced in the entire series. so far i kinda like vetra(basicaly female garus,) peebee is ok and krogan is cool because i like the BIG super badass curmgeion trope. and liam is ok.

I have S.M.A.R.T. goals; they are: Specific Measurable Agreed-Upon Realistic Time-based I am still going to play this game and enjoy it (Specific); I will enjoy it about as much as I enjoyed Dragon Age 2 (Measurable). Instead of getting to high-five people on the internet for co-liking really amazing games like Witcher 3 or Horizon Zero Dawn, I am going to be mocked for my opinions and lower standards until I either die or stop voicing those opinions (which also happens when I die)(Agreed-Upon, Realistic). As I did with Mass Effect 3, I will do all of this before outrage results in major changes to the game (Time-based).

Milky Moor posted:yeah, it seems like the voice direction as a general rule is just bad. bad writing can be salvaged with good voice actors, and a good script can make up for sub-par voicing... but both? it's just bland characters reciting generic expositions at each other. After playing single player for a few hours (CPU: i7-6500u, GPU: GTX 960m w/ 4GB VRAM, Low Settings @720p) Liam is not cool and kind of a hotheaded shitter that I want off my team, but that's me.. Maybe his arc is one of growth and temperance, but so far he should be switched out with someone else. I've only played the babby intro part to get the Ark away from danger and interacted with Stilted Salarian, and I'm gonna keep burning the hours, but we'll see. So far: It's okay. If it continues being okay then I'd wait for a sale, but if the story improves and has a decent hook, or if the characterization gets a bit better I'll be fine buying it at listed price. Edit: To add though, gently caress the cover system, I am definitely not a fan. I liked the ME3 cover system way more. Admiral Ray fucked around with this message at 03:58 on Mar 16, 2017 |

Ash1138 posted:throttling? dawg i'm pretty sure your computer should be SHUTTING ITSELF DOWN at those temps Yeah I got some sympathetic heart attacks looking at those temps. Definitely do not play this game (or maybe any game) until you figure out why that's happening, that's "i will damage my computer if i run at these temps for too long" range No idea if that CPU is supposed to be able to handle this game well or not; could be as simple as lowering settings, or maybe something's hosed with your hardware (heatsink not working, maybe you need to reapply thermal paste, I dunno i'm not a wizard)

I've played 3 hours of SP now and I just got to the Nexus. I'm playing on a not good computer, my processor doesn't even meet minimum requirements. Everything else does, but pretty much just meets them, definitely not near recommended. It runs fine on low/medium settings but I had to turn textures up to high because they are AWFUL at anything below that. Like the player character's face in particular looks like sum gross plaster clay crap. So I have textures on high and everything else is on medium or low and it looks okay but I wouldn't say good. I get pretty bad fps drops in cinematics but just a few hiccups in combat/running around. Anyways I'm playing as default Sara and despite all the crap people talk about her face I actually really like the way she looks in game. Also while the facial and hand animations are not good I don't actually find them as distracting as I thought I would when I'm actually playing. The walking and running animations are miles above previous ME games but I always played female characters and maybe I'm just happy not to have the man run animation anymore. Lip syncing hasn't bothered me but I play with subtitles on and I tend to look at them instead of the lips anyways. Dialogue hasn't been anything special but it hasn't been any worse than other bioware games. I haven't really gotten to the point where I talk with companions much so maybe that'll change later. I actually like the new dialogue wheel. It might make it harder to be a complete rear end in a top hat but I always thought the paragon/renegade thing made it feel like you had to stick to one or the other or you were doing it wrong. Also there's a new thing in the codex that tracks your choices and important actions and stuff so if you're ever wondering where a choice was made you can just check that after the quest. I think the points where you make a choice just aren't as obvious anymore, which I like. I'm enjoying the story alright so far. I don't think the opening is as strong as the previous ME games but I liked it well enough. The main villain (I think) is adorable for some reason. I picked charge as my first ability and the combat was pretty boring up until you level up for the first time. Then I picked up pull and nova and now I'm enjoying it WAY more. I just jump pack constantly all over the place and then pull to prime and detonate with charge, or charge and then nova. I barely even fire my weapon anymore. The aiming or whatever on charge works really well, sometimes I'd be way off on pointing myself at the enemy I wanted but it always seemed to work anyways. I'm not sure if I'll be able to do this forever without dying a lot but it's a lot of fun. The jump pack really adds to it as well. The default keyboard controls kind of suck but I guess can you can keybind them to whatever. One thing that really annoyed me and I don't know how often this happens outside of like the prologue but the game apparently doesn't let you manually save during priority missions. It wouldn't let me save until I got to the Nexus. It does auto saves but I like to be able to save whenever I want. Another thing was I looted a shotgun but when I went to the weapons loadout it just had the pistol and the rifle filling my 2 slots and I couldn't figure out anyway to change one of them to the shotgun. I dunno if I'm just dumb or if it was a bug or what. Anyways first impressions are that the combat is good, story is okay so far but nothing special, and the animations are definitely not good but are not so awful that people should be freaking out about it like they are.

Random rear end in a top hat posted:I guess we get to find out on Monday the lowest review score each publication is comfortable giving a AAA title from a major studio. My prediction: 82-86 on Metacritic. People were already suspicious of this game because they kept showing CG trailers and dev videos with very little footage of the actual game and numerous delays then when they did show footage (PS4 Pro event) it looked really bad and people were chalking it up to early builds or "a boring part of the game they shouldn't have showed". Also most of the talent left Bioware years ago even before ME3.

Just hit the early play wall. I like it ok enough, but it doesn't feel like mass effect without the whole galactic community thing. I guess meeting aliens is better than being the alien.

Cowcaster posted:hoo boy they didn't change that huh We had a fun bug the first time we tried to do a mission where the host's game hard locked, forcing them to force exit the game, then when the game migrated hosts the new host inherited the hard lock. Fun times. Other than that though it's been a blast so far, it's basically ME3 MP with new enemies, new classes and you're not stuck on the ground with tank controls anymore. It's good. Is it $60 of good when the SP is by all accounts a worthless shitshow? How much did you like ME3 MP, because it's more of that with some much needed, life-breathing improvements.

I'm not going to dig too much into Bioware employee history but it looks like John Dombrow is still working on ME, and Weekes went over to run Dragon Age. Those were behind the Tuchanka arc on ME3 which everyone agreed was the best part of the game. Does anyone have credits handy for Leviathan/Citadel?

Well when I am not in a squad with some kind of sniper savant with the Vanquisher I can still hit top spot. Multi feels pretty good to me but holy moly so Destroyers have a lot of shields. Ascendants have a pretty good gimmick to mix things up, I feel. Their presence has me mildly interested in where single player may be going. Speaking of single player, I guess I need to try that now.
