The Mass Effect 3/BioWare Thread

[Whisky]

Anyway, on the subject of Mass Effect... Seems people really care about seeing naked aliens. Though my bet for not having Garrus there is because without their clothing mountains Turians probably look ridiculous (and Bioware probably first thought up how they look with armor).

Doesn't need to be nude in-game. There's already concept art of it:

Sexy, eh?

 

[Vaarna_Aarne]

Well people seem to have some weird taste in dildos.

Though one thing I find very peculiar is that people assume all animals (and aliens, fantasy multikult races, etc) have sex in the same manner humans do, when actually the human sex act is quite different from the norm (= it isn't over in a matter of seconds, permanent heat). Much less this obsession with hybridization being always possible.

EDIT: Btw, the Turian physique is a perfect example of why ME isn't hard sci-fi.

When did Mass Effect start calling itself hard scifi?

Of course BSN thinks differently.

Not to be rude, or anything, but you don't have to do good research to discover that every single thing you have stated is...objectively incorrect? I can't think of a better statement to describe them. To start with, you just assert various things without justifying them in the least.

1) Walters didn't say that it's hard sci-fi. The Codexians just can't read.
He said that it's a sci-fi that somehow, subjectively, its boundaries can be seen by some as 'hard'.

2) Had Walters even actually said something like that, the problem is that he has been a lead writer for only the half of ME2 and ME3. Casey Hudson, however, the lead producer, who came up with the idea of the universe and worked with others to establish it properly, has specifically said that it's a homage to sci-fi shows from the 70s. Hell, Walters himself makes very specific allusions to Star Trek and Star Wars.

3) I expect them to learn to read English, for starters.

For anyone interested, Hoopy once implied that feminism is on par or worse than pedophilia.

It's worse.

He also considered women subhumans who shouldn't be allowed to vote or get out of the kitchen.

So in case he was a woman, she would have been batshit insane.

ME is more like a homage to pulp grade schlock from the 20s or 30s.

Don't give it that distinction. At least the pulps left a positive influence to pop culture.

I felt bad for the guy he was replying to. Like a bastion of sanity among retards.

Yeah, that thread became quite painful to read by the end. Leave it to Biodrones to bend sanity like a pretzel.

He mentioned making an account at Codex to lurk, so hopefully he has abandoned that hopeless place, and is happily perusing our threads.


Or

now that he can see GD.

 

[DwarvenFood]

While I was somewhat disappointed at the GD'ness of the last couple of pages I at least hoped this thread would have been sent into Retardo. Unfortunately, we seem to be back on the Bioware LOL topic.

hey did you know the TORtanic managed to lose 400k subscribers in two months?

I wonder what lie they're gonna come up with now to prevent shareholders from panicking.

What was it the last time? Some bullshit about not all subscribers logging in at the same time? lolololol

Good to know where that meme come from...

1.7 mil was reported as the max, so now it's down to 1.3mil. Listening to EA talk about it, their PR people must have briefed the execs on exactly what they should say. The 400k lost were those that only tried the game out and then left...not the "core" crowd. Also, after shedding all the temps, it was happily reported that the percentage of permanent subs went up. PR math is awesome.

o_O Good god, Shepard sounds really retarded here (Not that he sounds any different in retail though...)

 

[Valestein]

Just when you think the IT fanboys couldn't get anymore desperate now they're trying to find deep meaning with the rocks in the ending.

Help design Mass Effect sneakers.

Do you want some Shepard shoes? Tali trainers? Blasto brogues? Cerberus clogs? Miranda moccasins? Sovereign sandals? Garrus galoshes? Legion loafers? (ok, I'll stop now) Well, now you can let us know and help design them.

Tweak Footwear and our friends at the BioWare Store want to create Mass Effect inspired footwear and we want to let you design them. Check out Tweak Footwear's Facebook Page where you can download an app to help you design a pair of Mass Effect sneakers. You can submit drawings, write and describe your designs and more.

Oh, I disagree. You can reload the gun manually, using the wrong animation, even. If they added the game mechanic of being able to reload, why not actually make you reload? You have unlimited ammo in the prologue too (until you get to the scripted point where you run out of ammo), but you still have to reload when you exhaust a clip. Why not just do that for the ending too?

Instead, we're supposed to believe that the ending sequence gives you an unlimited ammo gun that can still be reloaded manually, using the wrong animation for that gun, for gameplay related reasons? Nu-uh.... It's a big honkin' clue, if you ask me.

Yeah. It's definitely a clue. For the clueless.
