big time bisexual posted:it's funny looking back and seeing how the default male shepard was a real uggo in the early builds So the story I heard was that originally Meer was just recording Shepard's lines as a placeholder, and later the decision was made to make him the actual VA for the role. If true, I wonder how much of the recording got redone, and how much of his voicework in that game was from when the lines were recorded early in the process.

Mark Meer is awesome, and I loved having the option to play the game 4 times essentially (by varying renegade/paragon and sex of player) with two good VAs. I'm surprised Hale gets all the praise around here since Meer did a bang up job.

beep by grandpa posted:Unpopular opinion here but I think Shepard renegading and killing Mordin at the climax of Tachaunka is one of the most compelling scenes i've ever seen in a video game* Wrex hunting down and trying to kill Shepard when he learns the truth is a pretty great scene too, which reminds me of something that really bugged me about Quarian/Geth finale, Tali doesn't do poo poo when you doom her race, like Legion desperately tries to save the Geth and ends up in a fight against Tali and Shepard, while Tali just stands there going "whelp this sucks" and jumps off a cliff

I would have liked Alpha Protocol a lot more if it'd been about anything, anything on earth except a spy game.

I disagree. I love the spy aspect of it. I don't need another fantasy or sci-fi game.

Its just a different game. The problem with Alpha Protocol is that they had the game completely finished like a year or so before Sega released it. Which meant rather than being compared to ME 1 it was being compared to ME 2's shooting That game is 100 an RPG. The stealth cloak allows you to walk up to someone take them down while the person next to them doesnt notice poo poo

Alpha Protocol is impressive in terms of its branching but the characters, combat, story, I just really struggle to care about. Like, the characters are affected profoundly by your actions, but they're almost all super thin 1D action movie stereotypes so it doesn't feel particularly impactful for me. It's pretty good though. I don't think it's the spy genre that hurts it so much as the treatment of the actual story it's telling being quite limited.

Arcsquad12 posted:Deadly Premonition with pretenses to western roleplaying essentially. Deadly Premonition has a lot of problems. It's a very flawed game that I couldn't in good conscience recommend to anybody. But I think ambitious yet flawed projects are so much more interesting than games that aspire for nothing and still manage to fall flat on their face (see: Mass Effect Andromeda).

Ive been looking for that colorful chart somebody made evaluating the quality of mass effect over time. Tried google image search to no avail. It's that one with Kai leng at the bottom middle and the citadel DLC at the top.

Threepio and Artoo at least work as nicknames. One Star Wars book I read tried to anglicize HK into Aiytch-Kay and it was awful.

OTOH it was apparently Sega's decree that it (and Binary Domain) have RPG mechanics tied in to the shooter gameplay, which is probably one of the worst parts of Alpha Protocol.
