German and English. Used to know semi-fluent French. Not wasting time learning more languages, instead learning hard skills.

Full version of ME3 will include Hi-Res Textures that were omitted in the demo. Source (German).

When will the Brits finally reach the 21th century and stop all the warmongering?

Speaking of the Reapers design, I swear I saw those same crab killing machines in Universe at War. They look basically identical. Petroglyph should sue BioWare for plagiarism.

If the Reapers are so supreme and powerful to begin with, they sure like to waste their time wiping out galactic civilizations by dropping their asses down on the planet and laser-shoot each target individually. I would have done it differently, but hey...

How can a supreme machine entity even have a grudge against a meatbag? Either way, BioWare certainly didn't really think that that whole trilogy story arc through from the start.

Holy **** this made my day!

And then real Aliens are gonna pick those copies up in space, play it, and perceive it as an act of war and invade Earth for realz! Smart marketing there indeed, EA.

What does the fat Brit have to do with my opinion? MP1/2 were overrated games, weren't they?

New Max Payne 3 trailer Yup, looks like this is easily gonna surpass the original two from Remedy.

Mass Effect 2: Plot analysis 1 of 3 Nice read, actually. Compared to the nonsense that started in ME2, ME1 seemed like to contain a halfway reasonable and functional plot. Instead of building on this, Bioware introduced new and unnecessary bloated crap like Cerberus, TIM, Miranda-ass, new species with no background explaination (at least in ME1 the Aliens told you a little story of their origin and disposition) etc. Well, done Mr. Walters & Co. This is why you should let the original writer staff let finish a whole trilogy, not replace them with a bunch of noobs.

This has actually been explained on the BSN. An extra holstering animation would take 2-4MB runtime memory, something impossible with the limited 256MB main RAM in consoles. Strangely enough, Batman AC uses the same engine, but has more and smoother animations. Whatever. It's not a big deal to me.

Something funny for a change: What a sexy walk. Shepard is truly competing with Catwoman here.

Oh great, Far Cry went Uncharted now.

Xbox demo had 1,5GB IIRC? Still a good 500MB wasted space, I wonder...

But then there'd nothing left for BioWare to tell a compelling and EPIC story. In other words, BioWare dropped the ball on this. This is what happens if you take the original ME1 writer team, assign it to TOR and leave it to a bunch of college graduate noobs to finish the trilogy. It's like BioWare doesn't even care about consistency anymore.

It's a bit more than just the EADM. The skin looks the same, but there have been many underlying optimizations and bugfixes since then. EADM was a horrible and unreliable POS, Origin now at least works for 99% of all time as intended.

Am gonna play FemShep for my first playthrough. The VA is lightyears better than that embarrassing Mark Meer. It's like the game itself becomes bearable all of a sudden. Overall, cool combat, lame writing.

Speaking of animations, I liked that of ME1 best. Both Male and FemShape had two distinct walk/run animations. In ME2, and also 3 now, they use the same stiff-upper-body-fixed animation rig. They really must have been rushing out this game.

Why not play it in Role-Playing mode? Also, is it just on my PC, or is the sound a bit low/dampened/shallow? I didn't remember I had that issue with ME1/2 or any other games. Also, the demo section feels a bit kinda rushed.

I'd rather do him.
