Humodour Posted January 8, 2010 Share Posted January 8, 2010 Actually the only way I might not be disappointed is if I expect a shooter. I'm sure it'll be terrible as an RPG. Haha, yep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deraldin Posted January 8, 2010 Share Posted January 8, 2010 dude you just made my day week and month! sooooooo awesome! My brother refuses to watch Transformers with me anymore. Apparently he doesn't like me quoting the movie line by line. Except for Blur. I know the lines, but there are some of them that I just can't keep up with.

Oner Posted January 8, 2010 Share Posted January 8, 2010 edit: and i LOVE pyramid head as a villain too, although really, the PC is the actual villain in that game (as far as i and my friends interpret it anyway) pyramid head just was a (meta)physical representation of his ... baser instincts.I never understood how the pyramid fits into the picture. I mean the hat, not the monster. Actually the only way I might not be disappointed is if I expect a shooter. I'm sure it'll be terrible as an RPG.Considering ME 2 won't have weapon skills, expecting a shooter isn't a bad idea. I'm curious if cover will be useful this time around.

entrerix Posted January 8, 2010 Share Posted January 8, 2010 IMO: pyramid head's pyramid head is vaguely reminiscent of a giant threatening phallus, just like the enormous sword he uses to impale people. it also makes him faceless, alien, and really goddamn scary looking Killing is kind of like playin' a basketball game. I am there. and the other player is there. and it's just the two of us. and I put the other player's body in my van. and I am the winner. - Nice Pete.

deganawida Posted January 8, 2010 Share Posted January 8, 2010 oh yeah and if they bring back unicron for ME2 they should only use clips of orson welles' voice original transformers movie FTFW!!! "Why should I? What's in it for me?" "Your bargaining posture is highly dubious, but very well. I will provide you with a new body and new troops to command." "And?" "And nothing! You belong to me now." "I belong to nobody!" "Perhaps I misjudged you. Proceed, on your way to Oblivion." "Argh! No! No, I accept your terms! *more screaming*" "Excellent." Yeah, that almost works for Mass Effect. dude you just made my day week and month! sooooooo awesome! Same here :D If we could give points for excellent posts, I'd give you 1337 right now!

Oner Posted January 8, 2010 Share Posted January 8, 2010 Looking at the Vanguard trailer: aren't biotics supposed to be gravity manipulators? I don't think gravity is supposed to propel you through environmental obstacles.

WILL THE ALMIGHTY Posted January 8, 2010 Share Posted January 8, 2010 (edited) Mass Effect fields could technically "push" you towards an enemy (and seemingly ignore most obstacles, seeing as that's how spaceship travel). It makes enough sense. Edited January 8, 2010 by WILL THE ALMIGHTY "Alright, I've been thinking. When life gives you lemons, don't make lemonade - make life take the lemons back! Get mad!

Oner Posted January 8, 2010 Share Posted January 8, 2010 IIRC the Miranda trailer wasn't posted yet, so here. Related: Cerberus' objective is to crown humans the universe's kings (or better than kings...gods), yet I haven't seen anything in ME one that worked for the benefit of humankind. Unleashed a Tresher Maw...on humans. Unleashed rachni...on humans (listening post alpha/theta). Kidnapped and killed a human rear admiral (I'm sure the Alliance didn't notice it's whole spec ops going AWOL, they think you're dead guys, better play along!). Bought/made thorian creepers... out of humans. Then they dumped aforementioned rear admiral's corpse in the "cell" of the creepers. I think the crazy biotic chick with the braindead boyfriend was theirs too, but not sure. On the flip side they made the first human biotics. Kinda...uneven. Or did I just miss half their exposition?

From what I read, a lot of what they do is research into genetic engineering type of aspects (along the lines of how they figured out how to create human biotics) so in the name of the "greater good" they have to experiment on a small number of humans..

Or the rachni. Combat data? Then why sic 'em in surprise attacks? (Okay, the maw may have been their on fault for not paying attention.)

Enoch Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 I hadn't watched more than one or two of the ME2 hypemaking videos until today. It's probably not an original observation, but thought occurred: ME1 was, like many 3rd-person over-the-shoulder titles, an ass-centered game. The character models all tended towards athletic builds, and the clothing/armor design definitely emphasized the hips and posterior. (With the notable stomach-churning exception of the splotchy cleavage on a certain thousand-year-old asari.) ME2, on the other hand, is all about the ****. Although I am among those who dislike reliance on prurient interests by game developers, if they're going to be selling the game by swinging sex in our faces, the sequel's approach to the matter is much more in accordance with my tastes. I wonder if FemShep's rebuild included any... augmentations... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
