Yeah I meant if it existed in a vacuum it'd be an ok game. But there's no reason to play it when you have the OG trilogy.

ME1 was good, ME2 was great and ME3 was a hilarious cash grab that had a completely unfinished ending and one of the best characters in the game stripped out and resold as launch-day DLC. I dunno who was responsible more for that shitfucking mess, EA or BioWare but gently caress em both.

You aren't wrong, but ME3 also had the most unexpectedly good multiplayer with support and free DLC that went on far longer than anyone ever expected it to. Andromeda didn't have any of that.

My favorite thing about MGSV is how you can pretty much tell exactly where in the story Kojima and Konami started having serious issues with each other.

Yes. There is roughly 3 different versions of Sins of a solar empire.
Better decide/find out who has what versions.

For a multiplayer Sins, when you setup the game, you want to set all speed sliders to maximum; otherwise the game DRAGS.
You may also want to disable pirates or bump up pirate faction power.

The biggest sin Sins commited was not giving pirate faction salvaged supercapital ships.

Yeah I have Sins: Rebellion but none of the DLC for it.

I usually roll with Advent. AKA the Shiny Expensive Useless faction.
Anytime I get bored in a MP Sins match I go into "pirate bribe bingo" mode.
So expect huge pirate incursions within the first 15 minutes if I'm in a Sins MP match.

I used to play this all the time with my coworkers. This really is a lot fun and can be seriously frustrating when you land in some piece of scrubland that could be Australia, Africa or Kansas.

Oh, no, this game. I just got one within 3.1m of the actual location, and now it's dropped me in the middle of loving nowhere with no indication even of what continent it's on. I clicked for a solid twenty minutes going in one direction only to lead to a fork in the road that Google decided was a dead end. Now to go the other way. :sigh:

Still a good game.

e: Goddam, it's somewhere Russia or Warsaw Pact. Now I'm never going to get it.

e2: The road now has lines on it! Maybe I'm heading toward civilization! :woop:

e3: Took a wild shot in the dark at somewhere northeast of Moscow and was only about 200km off. Thank gently caress.

Oh man, the abundance of clues, it's giving me a headache.



Though, the signs say mph, and nothing is upside down, so it must be one of those flyover states in the mid west where there's absolutely loving nothing of relevance.

HA! 100 miles off, it was Kansas.

It is fun.

Things to check.

Road paint colors and patterns
Road signs
Trees / Bushes
Rocks
Shapes of hills and mountains
Types of grass or crops
Cars
Electric poles
The sun with the compass
The types of house, shingles, pattio, what not

my favorite so far was a lovely new england house that looked like a southern house where they turned the porch into another room, but it had a cellar so it couldn't be the south. Turns out it was in maine.
