Just so you know that goon hype isn't a great barometer of quality, goons were also looking forward to 40K Eternal Crusade, Wildstar, and at one point Star Citizen

Anyone who doesn't like ME:A is clearly an uneducated bigot that does not appreciate higher art in gaming.

The horrible animations, voice acting, and writing is intentional to break the viewer out of their comfort zone and question their assumptions. Bioware is the Magritte of the gaming world and filthy scrub gamers need to learn to appreciate art and stop expect "quality" and "gameplay" in their video games. T-Pose simulator will be exhibited at the Smithsonian.

You know, internet cool people do harp on 'biodrones' and whatnot, but I still never recall them ever wheeling out anything like this in their defense. Clearly, CIG cultivates a far more superior community!

Incels are all about the flippy-floppy.

If Andromeda gives me the entertainment of Inquisition, I'll be happy. It's still actually released and collecting revenue, rather than relying on donations.

When did the "PU is a testbed to test mechanics" become "The PU is actually the game and we will expand it over time"
It feels like it just sorta happened without any fanfare. Around MVP time?

Also I am genuinely unsure as to whether SQ42 is a thing that exists.

Pretty sure the PU has pretty much been the final game minus some parts since it was launched.

e: like it was obvious from the beginning at some point they are going to go "welp, there it is then." with the PU even though it's missing just about everything they promised.

True, but Star Citizen is still poo poo that you've dropped thousands of dollars into. No subpar game release can cover that.

I appreciate Lazrin holding onto that one, probably cause it had something to do with G0rf at one time and he never did get that retraction for uh that one announcement. Ah, those heady days of old, when I thought this topic would have died out because CIG would have just doubled down into silence and finished making something to put out.

Seriously I've followed some train-wreck video games and Star Citizen has taken the cake and will never loving let it go. if ME:A really is heading to be the next wreck to watch like it seems to be it's just going to feel like a blink of the eyes compared to Star Citizen's slow-mo(tion capture) explosion.
