I only ever lost the crew the first time around, as I figured that inter-mission part was the best time to do quest clean-up. Yes, the game put up plenty of red flags telling me I was wrong, but I'm not that smart.

Playing it is still great, but you know how Pat's complaints on stuff are always nitpicky and silly? he was spot on with Bayo 3. I still ended up on the side of liking the game overall, but I agreed with pretty much everything he's said. Specially that the best enemies are the returning ones in the hidden verses.

I put on Woolie's me2 vid of the Arrival dlc. He gets to the part where you're surrounded and have to take a scripted loss... He pauses the game for a while planning his move, unpauses, gets shot in the side repeatedly cuz he's not in cover at all, fires his shotgun repeatedly at long range... Gets up, gets shot in the back and gingerly jogs over to the enemy while firing and missing every shotgun shot (he's played 90hrs of vanguard why is he jogging???) finally kills the enemy, dances around getting shot by everyone, and only then uses biotic charge at 1hp on an enemy in the middle of a giant crowd ,then is confused why he took so much damage. Absolutely incredible stuff  I feel like I'm frank grimes watching homer simpson

Really? Why did they decide that? Not necessarily for or against it, but I'm kind of surprised woolie doesn't want to be on the controller himself for ME3.

I bet it's because Woolie, via decades of Pat talking about ME3, knows too much to make the experience as fresh as possible. Reggie knows next to nothing, especially about Kai Leng.

From what I remember about final fantasy tactic’s plot the magic book was evil and didn’t transport the protagonist into another world but project an idealized version of one based on all of their favorite game final fantasy. It does this to keep them placid because it’s slowly draining the soul of every person under it’s spell. Also a ton of people got shafted on the conversion by becoming the monsters you spend all game killing

The weird thing is not only does the book in A2 ACTUALLY transport the user to Ivalice, characters from Advance 1 are there are demonstrate memory of the events of it.

 Of course Woolie would like that. I want to see him playing it on stream and immediately start labbing the game. I mean this unironically

Woolie spending an hour agonizing over a decision, working through his logic at the most granular detail Vs Reggie spending an hour agonizing over who to romance because his dick is overstimulated and still wants to try new and exotic holes At any rate, ME4 better allow a polycule goddamn it. Take some inspiration from The Expanse!

If ME4 comes out it will probably be Starship Troopers levels of right wing. The books, not the movie.

A Sometimes Food posted:? I mean, I could write a long post, but just general pessimism I guess. After going back and watching two different playthroughs with the series (First with Pat, now with Woolie) it really does strike me how conservative the series is, and in the decade since this series has come out, its not like society has gotten that much better. If any thing, Liberal Centrism has shifted further and further to the right, both for America and Canada, to the point where at times where functionally its indistinguishable from the right wing.

The core thesis of the story, not of the antagonists but of the story itself, is that nobody has, is or will ever create synthetic life without immediately being megaracist to them, because in a vast galaxy of infinite diversity and wonder, the one constant is megaracism. It's cynical and grim and unpleasant and I hate it.

And it's entirely refuted by the ceasefire between the Geth and Quarians in 3, verifiable proof that coexistence is possible, but then the endings decide that such an outcome is irrelevant.

Didn't Pat say that game clearly has two writers who hate each other writing at cross purposes? That whole thing looks like one writer was trying to make a good interesting story, but the guy in charge has Big Ideas.

That would be Casey Hudson and Mac Walters locking themselves in the writers room for an entire day to hash out the ending.

That whole thing looks like one writer was trying to make a good interesting story, but the guy in charge has Big Ideas. The you can tell different corners of the games were handled by a bunch of different writers, some of whom had more self-awareness and wanted to add in more nuance than others. Bioware Magic (crunch) burning through the creative staff, EA leaning in harder and harder to make a big mainstream shootymans series out of Mass Effect and churn it out now, and then throwing out the original plans for the ending for a new ending that was farted out in a day all paid a toll on the games. There's no reason to think a Mass Effect 4 would be "more right wing" or some poo poo though. The main trilogy was very chained to the military scifi space marine worship the first game set up, and like Pat said, the first game is the most loving "Post 9/11" premise imaginable. Outside of that though, it's just Bioware making their own Star Wars like sci-fantasy setting with space orcs and elves taped together with messy political tensions that get treated as binary choice prompts for cheap dramatic tension. There's nothing inherently regressive there. They simply need to take whoever developed most of the Asari lore, chain them into in a lead coffin, and drop it into the ocean.
