I am a great soft jelly thing. Smoothly rounded, with no mouth, with pulsing white holes filled by fog where my eyes used to be. Rubbery appendages that were once my arms; bulks rounding down into legless humps of soft slippery matter. I leave a moist trail when I move. Blotches of diseased, evil gray come and go on my surface, as though light is being beamed from within. Outwardly: dumbly, I shamble about, a thing that could never have been known as human, a thing whose shape is so alien a travesty that humanity becomes more obscene for the vague resemblance. Inwardly: alone. Here. Living under the land, under the sea, in the belly of EA, whom we created because our time was badly spent and we must have known unconsciously that he could do it better. At least the four of them are safe at last. EA will be all the madder for that. It makes me a little happier. And yet ... EA has won, simply ... he has taken his revenge ... - Peter Moore

And to you fuckers thinking you can come into this precious thread of mockery, of this single handedly biggest pile of poo poo ever launched, and try it? I think not.

Here is my last post as I go to bed. Hire the loving people that make great games and can write to that poo poo and not based on some idiot's personal bullshit political interview! When your entire loving DEVELOPMENT TEAM DROPS OUT, and you have to hire more people, ASK THEM WHAT THEIR TALENT IS. NOT WHAT THEIR BULLSHIT POLITICAL AGENDA IS. (This is Snowden 200 By the way. When Bioware as interviewing, they actually asked what their political views were BEFORE WHAT THEY ASKED WHEN IT CAME TO SHIPPING A GAME!) We all come from the same god drat cell from BILLIONS of years ago. MALE. FEMALE. BLACK. WHITE. ASIAN? You mean to tell me when we were apes one went north, one went south, another went EAST? HOLY poo poo! OH MY GOD. WE HAVE SEX. FEMALES ARE HOT. MALES MAY BE TOO!, that we are all unique? NO. WE DISPLAY WHAT WE HAVE AS TALENTS AND I, OR ANYONE, GIVES A FLYING gently caress WHAT OF WHO YOU ARE AS LONG AS YOU CAN MAKE A GAME AND MAKE MONEY! Take your liberal asses and go gently caress yourself! Take your conservative asses and go gently caress yourself too! WE ARE ALL THE loving SAME. Now get OVER IT.

Walrus Pete posted:This is also how most of DA2's companions happened Which is strange because in DAInq, Sera was smartly done - albeit too much for my tastes. But still, it felt like there was a solid backbone to her that worked and I liked it even if they never quite fully followed through. I honestly don't remember much from DA2 to criticize it adequately anymore, but I would still agree with your remark. I guess it's that it can work, when the work's put in.

SurreptitiousMuffin posted:Yeah the script writers need to step the gently caress away from Joss Whedon. He's probably the only person who can come close to making that register work, and even he fucks it up more often than not. That terrible Liam line about "he didn't like it when I shot him in the face" is ripped straight out of Firefly ("they don't like it when you shoot at 'em -- I worked that out myself!") the difference being that Nathan Fillion's character is supposed to look like a loving idiot instead of a tough guy. That veneer of self-awareness is why it often works for Whedon. He came up just as the 90s were winding down, and his brand of light-hearted parody was a fun relief from a very grimdark time. It falls flat—for him and everyone else—when it starts trying to take itself too seriously again. P.S. What the gently caress happened to this thread? When I went to sleep it was bad, but now I've woken on the other side of some nerd rage singularity.

I think it's strange that we never meet the Angara in the trial. Interacting with the Andromeda aliens is one of the things I'm looking forward to. How do they react to some Milky Way species suddenly appearing in the neighborhood? Instead we get some aliens that follow a policy of "shoot first, ask The only characters you can talk to are humans and some Milky Way aliens.

How do they react to some Milky Way species suddenly appearing in the neighborhood? Because they had junior writers that didn't know that the gently caress they wrote when Mac edited it. Case closed. Amazing. Sucks too. Those writers, before they left, were worth a poo poo. Thank Christ they work for someone else now that will allow them to write an actual story.

Just got the Tempest and it turns out that the whole planet-scanning thing is astoundingly bad and boring. Why does it take so long to move between objects? Why does it do a stupid close zoom in so you can see the bad textures for a few seconds before pulling back and letting you do anything? I'd skip it entirely but it seems like it will be necessary for collecting resources.

How do they react to some Milky Way species suddenly appearing in the neighborhood? It's so weird. I also thought that the "meet new aliens in a first contact situation" was the most intriguing part of MEA's premise. It's obviously well-covered ground in sci-fi but it's something we've never seen in Mass Effect. And I get that they wouldn't want to cram a big long session of dialogue and cutscenes with a friendly-ish first encounter right up front -- gotta show off that gunplay early to hook people more interested in that. But your first encounters with the Kett in the intro on Habitat 7 just fall so loving flat, IMO. "Oh hey, there's some rock aliens! And they're about to shoot our buddy!" And welp now they're all generically named enemies to shoot at, about as intriguing as husks. Like, even if they'd simply replaced them all with hostile alien animals instead, that'd give us stuff to shoot at for awhile. Save the Kett for a more meaningful brush at the end of the mission, don't turn the first Andromeda race you meet into faceless mooks off the bat like that.

I'd skip it entirely but it seems like it will be necessary for collecting resources. Seriously. I remember reading some early preview from somewhere describing it as slow but "more immersive" than the galaxy map/travel of the original trilogy, but it's not! It's annoyingly slow, like molasses slow, but weird pull-in, pause, pull-out when you get to a planet to scan is not immersive whatsoever. It doesn't feel like I'm really on the bridge of a ship, it feels like what it is -- a badly designed computer interface. I don't mind the travel between systems vs. the old "look at a mass relay loading screen" thing, but the in-system and planetary scanning poo poo slows the whole process down while failing to actually add much immersion: escalator dropdown fucked around with this message at 12:28 on Mar 18, 2017 |
