Now do the same with the viewpoint of a 15 years old or something. "I don't know what it takes to build a house, but this sounds awesome!"

I do not know, but even at 15, all people I knew at that time at same age, had at least some basic bull**** sense. What happened in last 20 years, that it changed so much?

[Fenixp]

Yeah, even at 15, we did have at least basic critical thinking. I suppose it could also be caused by mainstream gaming media at the time being a wee bit more honest - reading "It looks cool, but it could also be full of ****" certainly helped us see matters a bit more objectively as opposed to "15 reasons why No Man's Sky will be the bestest game evah"

 

The sad thing is that with NMS, it wasn't just inexperienced kids swept up in the hype.

[Katphood]

I still haven't played NMS but the last two updates have made the game look a whole lot more interesting compared to how it looked/played at launch. I'll give it a try if it hits the sales or something like that.

Oh yeah, you are right, when I was a kid, the magazines were more honest when reviewing the games and if a game got mark above 8/10, you could be sure, it was the next best thing since invention of sliced bread :-/ Now they give out 8/10 to games like candies. Says a lot how they depend on ads from these companies and their objectivity...

don't know what to make of this. doesn't look like the first game at all

I imagine that most of the game won't be like this, just the fortress sieges, which will be the culmination of doing quests and stuff in a particular region in order to gather intel and weaken defenses. Probably most of the game will be similar to the previous game, doing standard open world type stuff. It would be cool if you could choose to bring one of your followers along on quests and exploration so that you can have adventures and forge friendships with your orc buddies. Oh man, now I want a Middle Earth themed ranger and orc buddy cop movie! Edited March 9, 2017 by Keyrock

Middle-earth: Shadow of Kart Racing(2020).

[Mamoulian War]

More like Shadow of Duty: Mordor Warfare, if they start releasing on yearly basis :-P

MOAR ME:A hype

 

 

 

 

 

So it looks like scanning for minerals is back, but instead of doing it from orbit, you do it from the Mako. I'm really not a fan of adopting the gamey rarity tiers from the ME3MP in Single Player. I just hope that doesn't mean the SP is a microtransaction ridden crapfest, but... it's EA.

Well I sure would hope for 30 fps minimum with a 1060. Ah CS CYA documentation

[Keyrock]

There is something kind of macabre about all the female faces in ME:A.  The male faces look fine, though.

[the_dog_days]

I don't like the pitch of the new ship's engine. Since its mostly on space and there's no sound anyway, I'd like it to have a throatier, deeper roar.

[Malcador]

We have to call the thread ME:A culpa on release.

[HoonDing]

Arent' BioWare working on a new setting or something?

A new action adventure game

 

They're making sure we know it's not a RPG and is a new IP but that's about it.. or maybe they've said something after that but I've stopped listening

Isn't that essentially what they turned the ME franchise into?

[ShadySands]

Well, they're still calling Mass Effect a RPG while going out of their way to say the new game is not so there's that

 

Some rumormongers were speculating it's a Destiny/Division type game but who knows if there's even anything to that

New Backer Update from Numenera. They added upgrades to Immortal Edition on your platform of choice if you pledged at some kind of collector edition.

 

And you get also some Backer Outfit or something :-P

 

Keys are redeemable on Backer Portal. Enjoy!

I always wonder what would have happened if Bioware had developed Fallout 3 & 4. *runs for cover*

We would have super mutant romances.

How is that different from scaly alien sex?

Snip

WTF. *rolls eyes* That theme song.

[Fenixp]

True, the song was pretty funny. 'sides, that's not how you do songs for games.
