Nasgate posted:Speaking of mass effect. Thinking of trying 2 again after I dropped it. Most fun/broken class? Things I should skip? Vanguard is pretty fun, although it's not quite as good as it is in ME3/ME:A. If the planet scanning bothers you (as it does most people) get a saved game editor to give yourself resources. You might also want to find an ME1 save to import since certain important decisions do carry over (generally relating to Virmire).

Was it Star Control 2 that had one member of this extremely unpleasant and xenophobic race that nonetheless thought humans were sexy and was considered a degenerate pervert on par with someone who wanted to gently caress zoo animals or something? And you could give him members of your crew in exchange for his assistance but in the end he betrayed you because he actually wanted to own you instead?

im through 3 worlds in hopiko. it's a cool game but much harder than it needs to be because (a) my lovely controller doesnt work with it so i have to use a mouse, and (b) the flashing lights give me a headache the game should probably come with an epilepsy warning maybe. not that i have it but it just seems like it should have that

Also apparently they're giving away the original for free.

Apparently it's the same engine and everything. You can watch replays and switch graphics from old to new on the fly and play with original version players. Kinda neat!

There was at least one StarCraft II pro who became an Overwatch caster, that seemed weird to me but I guess Blizzard takes care of its own

The art in this WikiHow is amazing. (I found this while googling Blue steel after hearing it in Hitman, and wondering what they were referencing)

Oh jesus, after 70 hours of BotW (with its very odd control scheme), coming back to Hitman (with its fairly normal control scheme) feel completely alien. There goes all my assassination skill!

Kai Tave posted:I mean, if this is the first thing about the Asari that makes you stop and wonder you're a bit late to the party. "Oh yeah, our species is monogendered and reproduces through some complex combination of cross-species compatibility and psychic mind-melding, so naturally we resemble a race of hot blue-skinned human babes." The whole "Asari psychically mind-trick people into seeing them as totally hot space babes" thing isn't actually true so far as I know, just three drunken NPCs shooting the poo poo, but it would actually be a more interesting take than the official party line which is that no, actually all Asari really do just look like blue-skinned supermodels with tentacle hair. There are male Asari

The idea behind that exchange is that other species find attractive features similar to their own in the asari, which of course is a genetic advantage for a species that can reproduce with other sentient life forms. So you are looking at the asari through your human lens and seeing a hot chick, but Salarians are seeing the features of a hot salamander or whatever they find most attractive. But ultimately, the point behind the asari is having sexy blue spacebabes in your sci-fi video game.

There's this one video game where you can play as one of many species in a star trek type setting, and playing as the sexy spacebabe race makes bigoted people assume you're DTF and treat you like a sex object.

The conceit that all aliens look like humans gets sorta ridiculous when you fly to an entirely different galaxy and find a bunch of human-shaped aliens there. Does Andromeda just have the lumpy bad guys and the pink good guys, or are there other new aliens in that game?

And surprise, the lumpy bad guys are just corrupted pink good guys.

Doctor Spaceman posted:The good guys are also blue! Does it come across as a good narrative choice to only have the pink/blue guys and the bony guys in the entire galaxy, or does it seem like more of a "we couldn't afford to put any other aliens in" kind of thing? Because my immediate reaction is like, wow, they have had more time and far more money and staff than Mass Effect 1 did and they seem to have achieved a lot less. But maybe a very underpopulated universe is what they were going for?

But maybe a very underpopulated universe is what they were going for? I think it was a deliberate narrative choice. Nominally you're just in a small area in the galaxy (rather than travelling across the entire thing), but I don't think it works well in practice. The friendly aliens aren't the problem. They get fleshed out well; they're not just a simple analogue of a human culture, they've got internal factions etc. You spend a lot of time on their worlds in the fight against mutual enemies (the bony guys). The bony guys are just boring though, as are the robots who aren't much more than high-tech roombas. It's fine to have them as an ever-present threat in the background (like DA:O did with the Darkspawn) but there's not enough other stuff going on.
