VV There's also the Brute or whatever the hell it's called, the big armored animal. No idea if it's actually a multiplayer boss, but the singleplayer sure treats it like one.

Codependent Poster posted:Anyone who's played the multiplayer, can you say who some of the "boss" villains are? The stream I watched had a mech, but I couldn't take watching the one guy constantly run away from his team and being basically no use while they did all the work. There are HYDRAS, which are basically the Cerberus mechs from ME3. Then there are the Ascendant, who are Kett that fly and use an orb to shield themselves. While their orb is out they can't be hurt and they have an instant kill attack and a ranged Annihilation Field. Destroy their orb and they just kind of spaz for a while until it recharges, so they can be easy if you can hit the orb consistently. The Remnant get a different kind of mech, the Destroyer, which is two turrets on a giant body. Each part has its own shield and health bar, so you can blow up the turrets and make it (nearly?) harmless. Takes a lot of bullets or a good gun, though.

I mean look half a page up and you see him saying how the animations in ME:A are the best ever done and convey emotion and personal characteristics never seen before. Here. Just in case you missed it. http://www.playstationlifestyle.net/2016/07/31/mass-effect-andromeda-pushing-frostbite-boundaries/#fGSfUIDLIjsBCUfT.99 The guy is completely in left field and won't listen to anyone on his team. drat near up there with Paul Sage levels of dementia.

PureRok posted:To be fair, that comparison is showing a team member and a random NPC lady made using the CC. They always put more effort into the tame mates. Not that I disagree. to be real its 10 years later and no other games have tertiary characters quite that bad, especially not on the critical path like she is.

Haledjian posted:Curious where you're getting stuff like this from--not saying it's not true, but the only sources on supposed acrimony I've seen thus far have been tweets along the lines of "had a great time at Bioware! I wish them the best!" nobody who ever wants to get hired somewhere again will depart from a job and then announce on social media: "Totally hated my dickhead boss and coworkers at Bioware! Pick the peanuts outta my poo poo, Electronic Arts!" i'm going to play this on a colleague's ps4 and we're going to have a jolly good time laughing at it and i hope everyone else finds their own joy too

Oh wait that was the Spanish aristocrat lady. Haha people thought she wasn't white enough?! There was something about a door and people I ended up killing for her debts or something. All these problems end in murder come to think of it.

Utnayan posted:Yeah you have a good point. EA is pushing that directive on them, and the engine isn't built for that - However, DA:I wasn't nearly this bad (Albeit not much better). my guess is they don't have to push it as hard. most the people are basicaly human and human faces. and most of the combat is more colorful MMO stuff. it probably doesn't strain the engine. FunkMonkey posted:Cassandra was the best character in the game and one of the precious few Bioware characters written like an actual human being. she is good, i genuinly like alot of the mass effect characters. some are flat and are definatly expanded arechtypes, but i still love, team dextro all the way. Utnayan posted:They don't any more though unfortunately. But that is par for the course when acquired by someone like EA. You have some freedom for a while, but then the hammer comes down. Unrealistic expectations and a lot of time tabled (and quick) development. It's definitely true that EA wanted to turn DA into an annual franchise. And that is also when a majority of the people left. i need to play horizon zero dawn, to some stuff pushed me off from preordering it .(i was worried it would just be monster hunter or some remade tomb raider remake, or the combat would be clunky) i like guerilla, the killzone games are fun and i hope they do a new one again someday or something else entirely again. Lumpy the Cook posted:They didn't give the world Dragon Age Origins takes place in any name, so when they were developing DA2 they decided to name it Thedas because a handful of their forums users had taken to calling it 'the DAS (Dragon Age Setting)'. Some forethought lol my issue is i like alot of the ideas about the world, but they never really do anything with it.

Was she a natural daughter or is my memory just making things up? Or was it that her family just had debts and that's why she was in trouble?

Was there also no way to join games as a party in ME3 MP? As far as I can tell the only way to play games with friends in this is to host a custom game and hope the matchmaking eventually slots people in, which seems to never happen despite quick matches filling up at warp speed.

I only got caught once when I had no idea what the gently caress it was and Vanguard charged it because my health was low and I needed to recharge off something. Learned a lesson though. Only other time I got in a sync-kill animation was when I was caught in a corner by a Fiend and it picked me up and ate me, but again, I might not have been at full health because it was an ugly situation.

There's a side quest in SP when you first meet a fiend and it tells you straight up that if you get near it that it will one-hit kill you. Edit: I think you have to scan it for it to tell you that, I don't remember.
