Mass Effect 3 sure sounds fun

You have to scan the planets to find key objectives, to find away-team missions, to find resources that actually solve RPG quests back on different planets. You have to bring things back to a planet and talk to people and they'll be like, 'Oh, cool, I'll help you now' and that kind of thing. If you scan more the Reapers start coming in and you have to evade the Reapers in the system by literally having to drive the ship around. It's actually kind of fun.

"There's no limit on scans now," he added. "There's no limit on probes. That's not a constraint anymore."

Unlimited planet scanning? Whohohhooo!

Belated spoiler: Yes, Ray is Ray Muzyka and Greg is Greg Zeschuk, co-founders of BioWare. Yes, developers usually rave about their own work. But, hey, at least Ray has played the game. He knows what it's all about in ways that we don't.

Sounds like an impartial and trustworthy source.

I'm so glad these men never actually practiced medicine. Can you say "malpractice"?

JUST FUCKING PRE-ORDERED THAT SHIT WHILE STROKING MYSELF

I had doubts about the game, but not anymore.

Regardless of the shitness of ME3, I will pop some moles in it anyway.

 

[RPGMaster]

This article is a piss-take, right?

And since when was that fucking mining shit "exploration"?

 

[Stereotypical Villain]

It's exploring just how boring a "game" can be.

I smell bullshit here.

lol "It's actually kind of fun" from one of the Doctors.

"She's actually kind of cute"

 

[Whisky]

Ray said that DA2 was awesome before it was released.

We all know how much his opinions count.

Is that kc reference, perchance?

 

[Wirdschowerdn]

What would you expect, dumbnuts? Saying the truth that his company makes shit games?

Maybe you just forgot to press the awesome button.

 

[Menckenstein]

I bet Jennifer Hepler refers to her clitoris as the awesome button.

Great, I finally decide to change the quote in my signiature and not 5 minutes later it is blown completely out of the water

Meanwhile, at Bioware headquarters:
"Hey guys, people were generally OK with the driving sections of ME1, right?"
"Right, although I think we could do better. We need something to make that part of the game more interesting."
"Let's remove the driving sections entirely and replace them with a shitty minigame! It's genius!"

Later:
"Well, people hated the planet scanning in ME2, right?"
"Yeah, we really screwed up there. Who thought that would be fun?"
"Let's bring it back in ME3, except this time make it essential to completing side quests!"

 

[Captain Shrek]

Driving was SHIT in ME.

 

[Infinitron]

Driving was SHIT in ME.

It was shit, but on the other hand, it sort of added to the game's Trekkish "go where no man has gone before" exploratory atmosphere - which was forgotten in the sequels, of course.

 

[Captain Shrek]

How is addition of shit content a desirable thing? But alright. If they had actually done it better in ME2, I would not have minded. The problem was that ME was shit on every front:

1) Terrible combat design
2) Terrible writing
3) Terrible Driving
4) Shallow Character creation

What was I supposed to like?

 

[Mrowak]

You know, actually flying around in the hovercraft around planets in ME2 was some great fun - it was far more exciting than that MAKO shit in the original. I was actually hoping this section would make a comeback whereas planet scanning would die altogether.

WTF, planet scanning? Who on earth could get even the slightest bit of enjoyment from that? When playing ME2 I immediately set my resources to 500000 and happily pop the moles through and through.

 

[Jim Cojones]

So, if I understand correctly, the game is so bad that finding a single person who likes it deserves an article.

 

[Oriebam]

Driving was SHIT in ME.

I realize driving was slow as fuck and you couldn't efficiently ram shit(or couldn't at all, I don't remember) but what was so shitty about it besides that?

DLC, bro. They don't have the time to put such non-essential minigame shit on the final release. You should be thankful they made the planet scanning minigame on time, imagine how shitty the DLC-less game would be if they limited what you could and couldn't upgrade and buy.

they really fucked the game up on the higher difficulties man, on the highest difficulty the driving sections feel more like a cover shooter than the rest of the game, what the fuck
