Starwars Posted November 17, 2010 Posted November 17, 2010 I'm a filthy European so I'm not allowed to watch this glorious Internet video feast. Listen to my home-made recordings (some original songs, some not): http://www.youtube.c...low=grid&view=0
Amentep Posted November 17, 2010 Posted November 17, 2010 (edited) Destroyed looking city to me; I'm still thinking ME setting game (First Contact War, maybe?) but not connected to the Sheppard story. Alternatively, an alien invasion game (because, you know, sci-fi looking dude in destroyed city looking place). Edited November 17, 2010 by Amentep I cannot - yet I must. How do you calculate that? At what point on the graph do "must" and "cannot" meet? Yet I must - but I cannot! ~ Ro-Man
Tale Posted November 17, 2010 Posted November 17, 2010 With the Incisor Rifle and the supposed ME hints, I'm also leaning First Contact War. "Show me a man who "plays fair" and I'll show you a very talented cheater."
Nepenthe Posted November 17, 2010 Posted November 17, 2010 Or do you just enjoy turning threads into ****-slinging contests? Nah, we should just all bend over and let you and boo ream us. There's a Bioware faction here ? Sweet. I'm in the "if you don't care for company Xs games, stop posting in them." I was given this friendly piece of advice by mkreku once, and I've followed it ever since. Apparently some people consider themselves above this. The only company I feel like I owe any kind of loyalty is Obsidian, as I spend way too much time on forums sponsored by them. Bioware has failed me in the past (NWN, especially), but since we know **** all about this new product I find the broken record guys tuning up their bash-chestra to be more than a little tiresome. You're a cheery wee bugger, Nep. Have I ever said that? Reapercussions
Tale Posted November 17, 2010 Posted November 17, 2010 The only thing I'm above is everything. Am I right, fellas? Eh? Eh? "Show me a man who "plays fair" and I'll show you a very talented cheater."
RPGmasterBoo Posted November 17, 2010 Posted November 17, 2010 Start reading lawyer. I did nothing but express disappointment at a new game being done in a modern (likely ME) setting. I like fantasy more, so sue me. There was no bashing in it. Yet Imperium Thought for the Day: Even a man who has nothing can still offer his life
entrerix Posted November 17, 2010 Posted November 17, 2010 (edited) " Nope. Just wodnerin' why someone would waste so much time on something (in this case, BIO) when they feel they suck. Itt's 'ol fahsion trolling to post 'x sucks' repeatedly in threads dedicated to something you loathe.. hence why I avoid AP forums now or threads dedciated to it but at least I have AP a chance. Boo has no inetrest in doing this for BIO so waste of tiem and me wondering why he cares so much. i can't really speak for boo (but now I'm going to speak about him), and sometimes his statements do border on trolling (with regard to certain topics/posters), but generally i think he talks more **** about bioware than he actually feels, if I remember right he kinda liked dragon age origins, or at least his first review was fairly positive. also: I really like bioware but even I'm inclined to bash what we've seen so far. generic space marine in washed out grey building = completely uninspired first footage of a new game. combine that with the train wreck of dragon age 2 footage thats been shown and you have what looks like a really disspointing next few games. I just hope that mass effect 3 isn't a huge departure from 2, because I really liked 2. though if they made ME3 a turn based rpg I would be completely ecstatic. Edited November 17, 2010 by entrerix 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.

I kinda liked everything they made, ever, only I lotta liked BG, which leads me to believe it doesn't have to be kinda until the end of time. That said, I slam recurring faults of their games and them as a company, from a demanding perspective of someone who knows what he wants to play and suspects they can (but wont - due to some or other reason) deliver. What frustrates me is not that their games are bad, but that they could be better in obvious ways (that they have already managed before!). That, and the increasingly formulaic way they approach story and gameplay since KOTOR. The latter most of all. I don't care what Bioware fans say, for me KOTOR, ME and DA are the same game in 3 different flavors. I can't approve of that.

Volourn Posted November 17, 2010 Posted November 17, 2010 "but generally i think he talks more **** about bioware than he actually feels, if I remember right he kinda liked dragon age origins, or at least his first review was fairly positive." That, to me, is even worse. No way no how does anyone read Boo's posts and think,"man, this guy likes BIO and is just criticizing them because ehe wants them better." He is basically a Codexian - bashing for the sake of bashing. That's cool too 9and I have fun doing just that there); but let's be honest about it. " for me KOTOR, ME and DA are the same game in 3 different flavors. I can't approve of that. " That's silly talk. You might as well throw BG2 into that as well since any similarities those games share started with the BG series. And, what's wrong with that/ BIO sticks with making games they know their audience wants to play. That's smart business. "really like bioware but even I'm inclined to bash what we've seen so far. generic space marine in washed out grey building = completely uninspired first footage of a new game." there's really nothing to bash about this new vid/game. there's also nothing to praise about it. It's a meaningless teaser whose only goal is to hype an upcoming game announcement up. In that regards, irtworked wonders. DWARVES IN PROJECT ETERNITY = VOLOURN HAS PLEDGED $250.
Orchomene Posted November 17, 2010 Posted November 17, 2010 They are developing Fallout: Mass Effect. Destroyed buildings, snipers, things like that.
Volourn Posted November 17, 2010 Posted November 17, 2010 LOL That be funny. But, I doubt Bethesda would hire BIO. Plus, i doubt BIO cares about the FO franchise, anyways. Unlike Obsidian, they don't need it to sell games. DWARVES IN PROJECT ETERNITY = VOLOURN HAS PLEDGED $250.
Malcador Posted November 17, 2010 Posted November 17, 2010 But they expand their flock of sheep if they did Sad how many people are saying they'd love a Halo meets Mass Effect game. Bleh.

Tale Posted November 17, 2010 Posted November 17, 2010 There are always new, interesting and perfectly valid ways to bash Bio. Like the fact that they keep hoarding Jennifer Hale. When she is a treasure to be shared by everyone. And not just for people who feel content to play as a female PC in Mass Effect games.

Would you? no, but I might. jk. though mass effect 2 is definitely better than 1 (not by a huge margin, but still, definitely better). in vol speak: cameos? no. roofles fan service? impossible. meaningless phrase. roofles weak plot? yes it was. so was part 1. roofles. enjoy Killing is kind of like playin' a basketball game.

Volourn Posted November 17, 2010 Posted November 17, 2010 (edited) Cameos? Big deal. Many games have 'cameos' - even the precious FO did. Fan service? hello? Isn't that the point of producing a product that relies on fans? Every game company does fan service. Weak plot? I don't think ME2 had a weak plot (neither did ME1) but ME2 didn't rely on the plot per se since the characters 8were* the plot. It should be noted many successful movies and tv shows and books did well where this was the case. In fact, the best stories are ones told where the chaarcters are the plot. Afterall,l let's take Boo's favorite game BG2. What is that game's plot if not focused on characters (ie. the PC and Irenicus). It be nothing without them.
