I can't wait for the entirely 100% new engine for TES6 where items on a table still start to hover in the air when you pick other things up.

That was actually Bethesda since they were suppose to handle the QA, but funny enough the build that Obsidian sent in was less buggy than the one we ended up getting.

I had weird physics issues like that once, I think, but then capped my frame rate. The physics is tied to frame rate which is the cause of those kinds of bugs.

New Vegas pros: masterclass in verisimilitude, each and every quest and character ties in to an overarching theme in a way that few other games have even attempted much less pulled off, writing is tight and memorable, succeeds in making its internal mythology seem real and impactful New Vegas cons: pretty buggy and some of the faces look ugly

Pattonesque posted:New Vegas cons: pretty buggy and some of the faces look ugly But seriously, I crashed more often playing unmodded Fallout 3 (and I barely even got through 1/3 of the game before I quit) than I have NV. Obsidian just has a reputation for buggy games, so confirmation bias for taking note kicks in.

A fancy suit on a rotting body that's spent a week floating face down getting nibbled by fishes and now washed up and the gulls are having a go at it. But the suit isn't even all that fancy and the more time you spend looking at it the faster you realize it was one of those cheapo bargain bin 3 piece suit jobs that looks like plastic with stitching guaranteed to come undone.

Assuming I enjoyed the first three games quite a bit... Is Andromeda worth getting on sale for the singleplayer? Or am I better off pretending the series ended with 3?

Better off pretending. Andromeda's not a standout on its own merits, and it leaves a bunch of loose ends for the DLC and sequel that will never come. It's bad, boring, and doesn't even have the courtesy to wrap up proper.

Ask yourself this: "If this game didn't have Mass Effect in the prefix would I still want to play it?". If you still want to play it go look for a copy under 10 bucks in some bargain bin.

It's got everything you loved about mass effect - shooty bits and lots of bugs! The only things it lacks are a decent story, characters, a familiar and interesting setting, moral dilemmas, a well-thought-out universe and technology, choices with consequences, legitimate role playing, and a sense of progression. Oh, and the voice acting is awful and the writing behind the dialog is worse than ever. Also, the quests are almost all horrible fetch quests, the travel system is complete bullshit, the interface is one of the worst you will ever use, and there are tons of dangling plot threads that will never be resolved. Other than that, go for it!

To be fair the game is in a familiar setting (because they just moved everything to Andromeda), threw out the well-thought-out universe the further they went from the first game, rolled consequences into your war score and bad endings in ME3 and there never was much "role playing".

It's pretty impressive that they managed to kill a really popular and hyped video game franchise Didn't see that coming Also my favorite gamer food is combos. Keeps your fingers clean so you can keep gaming Did they ever fix combos in this game

orcane posted:To be fair the game is in a familiar setting (because they just moved everything to Andromeda) Granted. But everything feels like a pastiche of the original, not a continuation that might give more insight into the cultures that are involved. quote:threw out the well-thought-out universe the further they went from the first game Granted. But in a way all of the mass effects after the first one did this to some extent, but not as far gone as this one. So if you liked ME2 and ME3's tendency to ignore the established world, you'll love this one. quote:then rolled consequences into your war score and bad endings in ME3 Sure, but at least some aspects carried over, and you had the ability to, for instance, insult people to the point where you were on bad terms with them or help people to the point where they might assist you when they otherwise wouldn't. That doesn't happen in MEA at all. quote:and there never was much "role playing". Again, you could at least be a hardass who makes tough choices or a hero who always does the honorable thing, or something in between. In MEA your only option is how snarky your delivery is of your pre-determined outcome.
