The poo poo that really gets to me are the Reddit posts from people talking about how "true fans" need to "support the game" to make sure it can get through these rough spots. It's just one of the stupidest takes I can imagine. "Hey, guys, lets throw money at this bad product because we ~believe in the devs~ and maybe one day it will be good if we just ~support~ them enough!" gently caress off with that poo poo. Anyone who actually believes that is being taken for a ride and deserves what's coming to them. So much of this is hanging on BioWare nostalgia, too, but BioWare's just a name at this point. The people who made the games that made people like that studio in the first place are long gone. The name isn't worth poo poo.

teh_Broseph posted:X-Wing and TIE fighter are still in my opinion the BEST space dogfighting games. The balance was great and it was skillful yet simple. I'm pretty sure Star Wars Battlefront 2 is included with Origin Access, it has a starfighter battle mode which is almost like playing OG X-wing TIE fighter with modern graphics and people still play it enough to get in a game and have fun. I say this as someone who was foolish enough to own the actual game, and I play it for exactly that reason.

I love this game so much. I think the last time I loved a game this much was probably WoW vanilla in 2004. I pray people stick with it and the devs can add more content soon for the community to grow and prosper.

I can understand wanting Bioware to somehow pull through and fix this, because having more good games is a good thing, but the diehard defenders are just sad. The lesson of "[insert company name here] is not your friend" remains unlearned.

The game definitely doesn't have enough content but that reddit collage from the trailer is not worth getting upset over. It's a bunch of minor things that'd be nice to have but not much more. The weird implication is that if any of that stuff was in the game at release, the game'd be a whole lot better or more complete. No, it wouldn't

I applaud you for browsing reddit sorted by new, but I just can't do it for that reason: too much poo poo to wade through to get to the gold. hosed up, I know: I'm selfishly gaining from others doing the dirty work. So thanks again: helping the good content filter through.

EA is confused now that there are people actively baying for the final deathblow to BioWare in the name of video game purity. It may be more willing to keep the corpse going even though it wasted 6 years, who knows how much money and man power to produce -- this.

DancingShade posted:I don't know why Bioware didn't do the obvious and simply crank out visual romance novels based on their IPs every 3-6 months. I'm sure they could shove some microtransactions in there somewhere. you might be joking, but its actually, honestly very suprising that bioware never collabed with telltale to pump out some mass effect or dragon age visual novel shovelware

gently caress this game. Started it up (PS4) half an hour ago. Began a stronghold. One of the players isn't moving. At all. AFK or something. Wasn't a problem until we cleared the first area and needed to move on to the second. loving door wouldn't open unless everyone was present, and there was no teleport demand. GREAT DESIGN CHOICE, ASSHOLES. I calm down and just quit the stronghold. Figure I'll just do another. Wait to get back to hub, then immediately queue up for another stronghold. After waiting about four minutes, I realize this load screen is never going to end. Nice throwback to demo weekend. So I kill the game entirely and go to restart. Load screen from restarting also gets stuck for four+ minutes before I give the gently caress up. gently caress this game.

it's pretty amazing that despite being desperate to teleport you to your friend 5 meters in front of you 90% of the time, this game still manages to have points where you actually need it to teleport someone but it won't.

TBH I'd kill to redo the Mass Effect trilogy with a unified game engine and mechanics, along with editing the story in parts (mostly to make ME3 more cohesive with the series instead of Geth Pinocchio and  ). It'll never happen because money and pride, but it'd be pretty great.

I always thought that was more keeping with the theme of Mass Effect instead of the whole synthetics vs organics thing they tried to push. I mean, ultimately the reapers, under that assumption, were just another example of people refusing to come together even when the figurative barbarians are at the gate, and you are there to create unity, though peace or by gunpoint.

I always thought that was more keeping with the theme of Mass Effect instead of the whole synthetics vs organics thing they tried to push. Think so. Dark energy was part of it for sure - Tali's recruitment mission in ME2 sets it up, but it goes nowhere (because Karpyshyn left and other reasons).

They have that in-game radio show with a javelin AI that becomes self-aware and the operator breaks up with her boyfriend to be with the AI, that definitely checks off all the boxes.Digirat posted:it's pretty amazing that despite being desperate to teleport you to your friend 5 meters in front of you 90% of the time, this game still manages to have points where you actually need it to teleport someone but it won't. It's very weird, some doors open as soon as two people get there and some need the fourth to straggle in, there doesn't seem to be any reason for it.
