Majek Posted February 20, 2012 Posted February 20, 2012 I quite liked the story-related mako missions (and Bring Down the Sky). It was certainly better than that abortion, Hammerhead. In fact, just writing "hammerhead" makes me wince. Again. Those were done well enough, i agree. 1.13 killed off Ja2.
HoonDing Posted February 20, 2012 Posted February 20, 2012 What's Hammerhead? The ending of the words is ALMSIVI.
BobSmith101 Posted February 20, 2012 Posted February 20, 2012 (edited) What's Hammerhead? The thing you get in the DLC, I think Overlord. They came free with the PS3 version, only reason I know. Edited February 20, 2012 by BobSmith101
Tale Posted February 20, 2012 Posted February 20, 2012 The Hammerhead was a free DLC for everyone. But it was also included as part of Overlord, with Overlord having a new Hammerhead hub area. "Show me a man who "plays fair" and I'll show you a very talented cheater."
Lexx Posted February 20, 2012 Posted February 20, 2012 I liked the Hammerhead more than the Mako... except for the missions. The Hammerhead stuff was so much always the same... kind of like the Mako missions. Man, Bioware for sure sucks at repeatable quest stuff. "only when you no-life you can exist forever, because what does not live cannot die."
Gorth Posted February 21, 2012 Author Posted February 21, 2012 I didn't mind mako, the problem where the environments where you drove it. That was a crappy paste job. If they had made something with more believable physics (no rubberband gravity) and genuine variety, it could have been a valuable contribution to the game rather than feeling like "filler". Not that I think they did it because they hate people, but because it was what was possible within time and budget scope. “He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt. He has been given a large brain by mistake, since for him the spinal cord would surely suffice.” - Albert Einstein
Tale Posted February 21, 2012 Posted February 21, 2012 I've been hearing some rather interesting things involving earlier plans for ME2. So much missed potential. "Show me a man who "plays fair" and I'll show you a very talented cheater."
Ice9 Posted February 21, 2012 Posted February 21, 2012 I'm with Nep on the subject of the Mako. Just driving around on a planet's surface looking for your mission access point and whatever pieces of old technology lying around to salvage by playing Frogger was pretty monotonous. I didn't mind the segments like the one on Virmire, for instance. It wasn't as polished as the rest of the game but it was a nice change of pace. Sometimes you just need a few minutes of something different to get back into the grind. Everything was beautiful. Nothing hurt.

BobSmith101 Posted February 21, 2012 Posted February 21, 2012 (edited) Overall I like it but just like in the game the kid somehow cheapens it. Cheers for the link. Edited February 21, 2012 by BobSmith101
Morgoth Posted February 21, 2012 Posted February 21, 2012 The bit with the kid was kinda cute, but... Shepard getting real mad and personal with a bunch of soulless hulks is just silly. Reminds me of Starship Troopers, with all the soldiers getting worked up about silly bugs, except, there it was at least ironic. Rain makes everything better.
Malcador Posted February 21, 2012 Posted February 21, 2012 Reminded me of the Halo Wars trailer with the serried ranks of guys behind them. Why has elegance found so little following?

Janmanden Posted February 21, 2012 Posted February 21, 2012 It seems to be out-of-character with the Reapers.. I don't think they'll bother about rounding up little girls, because they are more into massive crowd control and they make servants to herd them together. (Signatures: disabled)

Reminds me of Starship Troopers, with all the soldiers getting worked up about silly bugs, except, there it was at least ironic. well, the bugs didn't use to be humans, corrupted into something else. Was good seeing Big Ben make a return. You're a cheery wee bugger, Nep. Have I ever said that? Reapercussions
HoonDing Posted February 21, 2012 Posted February 21, 2012 The little girl looked like Rapunzel from that Disney movie. The ending of the words is ALMSIVI.
Morgoth Posted February 21, 2012 Posted February 21, 2012 Official BioWare response to certain people recently bullying Jennifer Hepler (Bio writer) Oh wow. While I think Hepler sucks as a writer, making personal insults to developers and even harass them is just outright disgusting. Rain makes everything better.
Giantevilhead Posted February 21, 2012 Posted February 21, 2012 I hope they give a good reason for why the Reapers don't just drop a nuke on Shepard. Heck, why not nuke earth? At least nuke earth's military installations so its cities will be virtually defenseless against abduction.

Dude, if they'd start making sense, then there wouldn't be any EPIC battle for Shepard left anymore. Rain makes everything better.

While I think Hepler sucks as a writer, making personal insults to developers and even harass them is just outright disgusting. I agree, but telling gamers she wants an "I win" button so she can skip the game. That's probably something she would have been better keeping to herself.

BobSmith101 Posted February 21, 2012 Posted February 21, 2012 On the Bioware boards it said they called her cancer. I never read the link though , that was just in the title.
