marshmallow creep posted:There's none of the DoF problems from the Giant Bomb stream in this guy's playthrough. Then again, he's PC and they were doing...PS4? Had lots of DoF issues on PC myself though. The lack of attention to details is just frustrating. I don't mean the usual Open World yank, but in dialogs, which you very easily could Q&A by having someone watch them.

I played it through twice, on Hard and then Harder, and nothing ever instakilled me when I had full health...but I also had quicksaving, so maybe it was less of a thing.  HOnestly, I think like, three Banshees in a group would come close to instakilling you, but nothing else.

Wow. He tried to use the plasma bolts in a Hurricane and it somehow breaks the sound when he fires; as soon as the first shot goes off, the sounds changes to what sounds like a steel ball bearing shaking loose in a metal tube. It then doesn't stop.

It's there is an attack animation that kills you regardless of health (and makes you unable to be revived) unless the enemy is staggered. Doesn't require multiple enemies. It's less of a thing in singleplayer because there are fewer big enemies and because it doesn't matter how the player dies. It could happen though.

You could be sync killed in single player too. It's when it plays a canned animation and you get wrecked, like a Banshee picking you up and stabbing her arm through your body. In multiplayer you're done for the rest of the wave if you get sync killed, and it's game over for Shepard.

Welp, used up my hours. Trip report: Despite initial frustrations, I'm getting a much better feel for the Nomad after realizing that there are marked trails in the map and in the environment itself which has roads they suggest you drive on. So it's less of a dumb hassle than I'd thought, but I'm still not going, "Oh boy, I can't wait to get into my Nomad!!" or anything. I hadn't paid much attention to this at first, but background music is really sparse in this game. I believe this was the case in ME3 and DA:I as well, and I don't really approve of this trend. It gives these locations less identity. Adventure games need adventure music! This is definitely something that JRPGs continue to do better at than western games. Pro-tip: I don't think the ability descriptions mention this, but Overload can prime enemies for combos as well, just like in ME3. I think the prime duration is really short, so you have to use an ability right after using Overload...which shouldn't be difficult, with separate cooldowns now. Multiplayer is really goddamn fun. As with ME3, it's acting as a pretty good training arena for SP for me. Looking forward to continuing this game come Tuesday!

Restarting the game fixed the weird Hurricane plasma gun he crafted! Now it's a seeking hurricane which seems... op.

It's very easy to dodge now compared to ME3 though, you can just roll around: http://i.imgur.com/KvczrxS.gifv EDIT: I can't figure out how to use the consumables. I have the flame ammo in my inventory and according to the settings I can use it with "6" but nothing happens. lunar detritus fucked around with this message at 06:02 on Mar 18, 2017 |

The thing to do with the Fiend if you are a Vanguard Charge Maybe punch if it's distracted Back dash immediately Shoot it Charge Repeat If you get to a point where you cannot back dash, relocate and start again. You slaughter them and they can't touch you.

Welp, won my first Silver multiplayer match and MP is officially fun now. I guess it just 100% came down to the starter gear being utter poo poo, which... is an odd design choice, but whatever! It's pretty fun now! To think, I finished all the SP content with 5 hours left and was pretty disappointed. Now I'm deeply regretful I only have like an hour left to last me until Monday-ish.  Quite a turnaround from having literally zero interest in MP before trying it to get SP item boxes (which seem to almost always be weapons, which make the other rewards look like poo poo!).

Holy smokes this thread. Quit gettin' mad at video games, y'all. Played for about 4 hours tonight. Yes, there are occasional animation glitches, but overall, I'm having fun. I love the combat, and the sheer amount of stuff there is to do. I do not like how slow moving from planet to planet is in space. It seems like it drags out way too long. Other than that, will buy on Tuesday for sure.

Is there any way to highlight interactables like in DA3 or something? I feel like I'm missing loot, and people keep pointing stuff out to me that I can't see with my eyes or scanner.

Foster Addison continues to be a robot in a skinsuit. As I see more of the game, the more she sticks out. Even incidental characters seem less hosed up than her.

Yeah, it seems it got extended. Possibly in response to the trial only letting you get halfway through Eos so you don't get to see any of the stuff they're actually touting with the game as a whole.

Ok then streaming embargo is down, it looks like. review embargo is not. there are people datamining on the new BSN forums but the only thing they're seemingly looking for his romance options and the dialogue. i guess that's unsurprising. however, one person seems to be pulling plot related audio. apparently ryder's dad knew about the reapers courtesy of garrus' dad

bear is driving! posted:Holy smokes this thread. Quit gettin' mad at video games, y'all. It's an EA/Bioware product. It has a hype train fit to colonise Mars (and probably funded well enough to do so as well). It deserves the bulk of criticism it's getting. You're telling me they spent over 4 years on this game but couldn't get human faces to be even in the ballpark of okay. I sort of understand why Ryder is bad because of the face morphs, I can sort of appreciate that Cora and Liam being okay but the rest? Even if they just ran them through a bulk generator, it doesn't take a staggering amount of effort to make them not look like garbage. What's worse is how amazingly bad the character creator is, and how definitively the lighting set up was not made for the tattoos or makeup available therein (just like DAI and it's nightmare creations). The characters themselves come across as bland as milk. The Ryder story isn't all that interesting, and it has to contend with gamey-as-gently caress mechanics that are just awful. The story is a pretty beige canvas, and it'll be down to see if Bioware can still pull off generalised character-group development. Given how in DAI you went from being "The thing that killed the divine" to "our holy saviour" in like 15 seconds and don't lose it for the rest of the game (unless you play the DLC and get the endings from that) that quality is still very much in the air. Is it going to be as bad as shitposters like Eonwe are making it out to be? No. Is it going to be a bad game? Probably not, No. Is it going to be a genre redefining moment of excellence? No. Is it worth $80? No. It'll be what it is. A game that's going to be at least somewhat fun, solid and disgustingly engaging for around 20-30 hours (and if you don't finish the main quest after that you probably never will, see Inquisition, Dragon Age), with a multiplayer that should be decent for at least 10 hours unless you find a tight group of game buddies (then that number skyrockets). EDIT: It's also quite hilarious that EA thought it'd be a great idea to showcase the first 5 hours of a game from a developer who hasn't made a decent first 10 hours to a game in like a decade.
