The Witcher 3 is just a cross between fallout 3 and Dragon age origins, and its as bad as that sounds but not as good as that sounds.

Comfy Fleece Sweater posted:No kidding, I never understood the Tali fan base. What a blank boring character. Basically an exotic female with no face to display emotions, just a body... ooooohhhhhhhhh i remember playing ME2 and accidentally romancing tali because i just liked asking all of the characters questions. i clicked something benign and it brought me to the "romancing tali" subplot. mordin also thought my character was hitting on him because i kept asking questions.

I own a Switch and it's fantastic, but my god the internal filtering I have to apply when looking for games that aren't -Some turn based Japanese anime thing. -One of those fantasy games with loads of glowing circles with symbols around the edge. -Indie game with unimaginative visual gimmick. -Pokemon. -Mobile phone shovelware.

The Switch has way more good poo poo on it than anyone could ever play and the portable to TV gimmick rules. I'd never want it as the only platform I own since obviously you'd miss out on a ton of the best stuff, but it's certainly worth owning, and while that list is not "insane" it's far from dire.

VA work in any kind of dialog when the player is choosing responses is almost always lovely. Like sure the Mass Effect voices were okay but when you're recording multiple responses to a question with poor direction as far as tone and context they're never going to be more than "just okay." It also really hamstrings a lot of "choice" in dialog, like the comparison of Fallout 3/NV to Fallout 4. The VA work for the Sole Survivor in FO4 was really lovely but I don't blame that on the actual actors for the most part. The companion VAs were mostly solid. Except this part. This was great. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k_i6Ewj1cLk

Away all Goats posted:How much am I missing by not playing the first game? Can I just play two and not miss out on any of the important story bits? Yup you definitely can. I played ME2 first and liked it a bunch, so I tried 1 and liked it even more. That said, I simply cannot recommend the first Mass Effect game. It's got a cool story with actual stakes and characters but the gameplay is nowhere near as fun. And it's ugly.

The first game has the best story and the jeep segments are pretty fun on the more outlandish planets. The game aged pretty badly but if you like cool scenery, it's sick. I prefer the combat of ME1 to later games too. It's 80% shooting and 20% using skills as opposed to spamming your 3 skills like some lovely moba in ME2. Your crowd control and debuffs actually feel like they have weight when you can't spam them.

Splinter Cell Blacklist was better than previous games in the series (I really like the semi-serious technothriller theme. Old games were too childish) JRPGs and Dark Souls suck. SA's gaming forum is full of console weebs Woohoo fucked around with this message at 06:31 on Dec 17, 2018 |

A big complaint of ME2 at the time was that the over arching story doesnt progress much during it but in hindsight that was a great thing.

I'd say it's a great year if the rumored exclusives and ports actually get released this year. Metroid Prime 4, Fire Emblem, SMT 5, Animal Crossing, Pokemon, and No More Heroes is a very strong lineup of properties people have wanted new releases from and/or have been absent from non-handheld releases for a long time. There's also Metroid Prime Trilogy and Skyward Sword HD, which a lot of people I guess see as bullshit releases because they are ports, but the Wii had a terrible output resolution, and the Wii U sold like hot garbage, so I am cool with them because it gives me a platform to play those games on that I don't dislike using. After that you've got new IPs and Yoshi's Crafted World and Persona 5 and that's just a really solid lineup for a year in terms of heavy hitters. If someone isn't interested in those games, that's fine, but for people who like the properties enough to have already bought a switch, or will buy one because of these releases, then yeah that's a stellar list. Without the "Rumored 2019 Exclusives" bar though, it's just a year.

Mass Effect 1 is good because when it came out it was like a breath of fresh air. Today it has aged poorly but I'd say it's still worth playing if you're into Sci-fi RPG's and blue aliens. It's just very clunky and stiff at times Mass Effect 2 is good all around. The big downside of the game is the story, which is poo poo. This doesn't matter much though because the game is all about finding a team and making them loyal to you before the last 10% of the game when the plot picks back up again and you go kill some ultra generic badguys. Mass Effect 3 is mostly good, but a small step down from Mass Effect 2 in all areas except shooty-gameplay. It also had a controversial ending. Still worth playing! You can skip Mass Effect 1 if you don't care about story or characters, but it does offer the most ominous context clues about the main antagonist, the Reapers and it introduces some of the main-cast who stick around through all games. So if you're into story I'd watch the story of ME1 on youtube first or play the game and just speed through the story missions Zzulu fucked around with this message at 08:51 on Dec 17, 2018 |

I liked splinter cell double agent, but I was also quite young back then. Never played chaos theory but it looks real good I really liked conviction too. Movement felt significantly more fluid. Multiplayer was fun too and you could customise your murder barbie with different outfits, colours and accessories (and nationality too I guess)

JPRGs are a trash genre loaded with the same old unwilling hero finds love interest, who may or may not die, before saving the world from the super evil anime Wizard of Oz stories. This terrible writing is coupled with tedious grind to advance game play on a level only bested by the worst Korean pay2win mmo. As a matter of fact the Japanese haven't made a "good" game since the 90s.

The JRPG stereotype is the equivalent of all American games being brown slogs starring grumpy white men with short brown hair who may or may not have a close family member they're eternally avenging by growing at everyone and murdering everything. Occasionally mixing it up with a skinny brown haired white woman going through emotional trauma all the time as she eternally avenges close family members by whining at everyone and murdering everything, which is very progressive.
