On the upside: This game is fun to progress. I don't know if it's the completionist or stats slut in me, but I'm really driven to gain more levels and discover new research and expand more viability and all that, because all that really does have a palpable effect on the game experience. It's completely "video-gamey" and all a matter of numbers, but even very small tasks of the game do a pretty good job of making you feel a sense of accomplishment when you complete them.


For all its warts, what I really like about this game is the first time you come out of a completed vault to a transformed planet. It really highlights the exploration/colonization part of the game to me; though those parts will obviously not have any replay value, the first time you complete them it's pretty cool.

I can understand an Overwatch avatar haver falling for such an obvious gimmick... But you're a Doctor!

edit: I mean, actually, that all the Mass Effect games had broken narratives and story inconsistencies.

And yet only one person was unhappy enough to buy someone an avatar in some strange attempt to 'own' them on these dead gay comedy forums.

Weird.

The pace of this game is easily one of the biggest problems. In previous Mass Effect games, there was a perfect balance between action and story. In this one you'll get to shoot for a minute, then drive for a while, then hour of info dumps, and maybe you will get another mission before you have to quit playing.

It is inevitable!
It's a good game with some real rough edges? Again, outside of the animation being generally rough I've still only seen a couple of bugs, and they've been comedy visual goofs rather than any real mechanical impact. The UI sucks all round. The story is interesting enough despite some atrocious lines scattered throughout a mostly adequate script. Beyond that though, it's fun to poke around and explore on the planets, and the combat is a riot so long as you don't play it like a cover shooter.

It's got ups and downs, but the hyperbole around this game is loving off the charts. I guess when the issues are real giffable that happens.

sorry you paid 60 dollars for a bad game

if it makes you feel better i paid 60 dollars for no man's sky. i understand what you're going through, you want to justify your bad decision. you'll get over it and come to terms with it in the future, it's ok.

people telling other people their opinion is objectively wrong while also accusing them of being super mad about it

to the people who have been playing the game and posting their experience, you're great. to all the people trying to win an opinion war about a video game, rethink your priorities in life.

looking forward to my day being over so i can go home and play.

I'll say this for the loot system: new guns are dropping/being found with a satisfying regularity. I was afraid I'd have to craft everything, but after every couple of fights I have something new to try out. Shame that you can't just equip them on the fly.

Bioware hasn't made a decent game since Mass Effect 2, and that was nearly 10 years ago. At this stage, I'm just going to write them off as a hack development studio that pushes out social justice nonsense for tumbrites rather than great RPGs for gamers.

At least CD Projekt Red exists, and they've surpassed EA's hack dev team years ago.

See, I agree with you about EA sucking, Bioware Badoware, and I am not getting the game until it's way cheaper and I probably won't like the characters and blah blah blah

nothing in my post said anything about liking the game, tons of people posted negative experiences with the game. those posts are infinitely more worthwhile than any of your bullshit. the people who have the most posts in this thread have added nothing to it but circlejerky meme bullshit, which i think is worthless garbage. since people keep getting very defensive when i attack that, i assume they like it. we disagree on that, it seems.
