The Mass Effect 3/BioWare Thread

I love watching a train wreck in the making. Especially when oh so many still think that the train in question will safely arrive at its destination. Honestly the ME3 plot is shaping up to be an outright prosperian incoherent mess.

 

The space combat in ME3 looks like american revolutionary war infantry battles where marching formations of troops trade fire at each other.

 

Yeah, that came to mind as well. Seems that centuries of warfare were instantly forgotten once the races got TO SPAAAAACE.

 

It seems that the alien races have caught...

SHEPARDS

 

For a dev so hated by the truly oldschool elite (95%) in this here forum, which played all screenshots on Mobygames, to have a 152 page thread dedicated mostly to a single game? Truly Codex cannot forgive a dev that didn't release the best RPG in fucking years for 2 years. This is how shitty those Bioware games are.

 

Skyway please, this is not about one single game. This is about a trilogy.


Also.




Jaesun joins the legion of the non-organicsmic?

 

'Tis the season.

 

Jaesun used that avatar for quite a while before the serpent one.

 

Yeah, but his title? I haven't noticed that before.

Anyway, regarding ME space combat - is it just my impression, or is it seriously heavy on capital-class ships? And if it is, how does that make any sense? They'd have been outclassed by smaller, more maneuverable ships ages ago. Okay, I know I'm trying to comment on realism in a BioWare game but still, what. Formations used best for catching stray shots, capital ships, why, why? BioWare cannot into military history.

 

Space warfare wouldn't even be anything like naval or air warfare, so historical accuracy or military realism makes no difference.

 

It'd still be more close to air warfare than that - heavily reliant on mobility, since a bunch of smaller and faster interceptor vessels would punch holes in a capital ship while it'd try to aim. And yeah, sure, you could arm capital ships with fast-tracking turrets and so on, but at the same cost you could probably provide enough firepower to wipe it out and keep most of the force intact.

It's kinda why we don't make giant fucking tanks.

How do you feel now Todd ?


IGN starts with a whooping 6 page review and it's only the start, we learn that ME 3 story is probably the best written story in history

http://uk.pc.ign.com/articles/121/1219446p1.html


Mass Effect 3, best sci-fi game/novel/movie in history of mankind ? You decide.

 

The amount of hyperbole in these articles is amazing. It's like these guys are all competing to come up with the most ridiculous claims of all.

 

I just can't wait for some reviews to give it a 8 (!!!!), creating a massive shitstorm from Biodrones because the metacritic score got lowered.

 

Well, they need to outdo EA's marketing, otherwise they're redundant.

Isn't it a fun industry, where the press hypes a product more than its creators?

 

I can't bring myself to read that shit. I really, honestly can't.

 

lol wrong. The closest we have to space combat on earth is under water combat, and how much combat under water have we seen? Pretty much none.

 

The Reapers don't even seem all that powerful. It takes the one who humps that ship quite a while to destroy it.

 

I swear, the Gamerfuzion video review is an elaborate troll video. I don't know what I just watched.

And I know, getting my hopes up was stupid, but I thought that maybe this time it would be too much for these reviewers to take.

 

Motherfucking Mass Effect,
With aliens in space
Motherfucking Mass Effect,
In Shepard's gay embrace
Motherfucking Mass Effect,
It's just so fucking cool
Motherfucking Mass Effect,
Don't like it? You're a tool

Motherfucking Mass Effect,
The story is so deep
Motherfucking Mass Effect,
Conclusion is so sweet
Motherfucking Mass Effect,
When Reapers come for you
Motherfucking Mass Effect
They'll read our review

They'll see we gave them ten of ten
And that we liked butt sex
They'll like us all the better then
'Cause Mr. T's like Wrex
They'll give us banner ads and cash
And take us to a bar
We'll drink and dance and smoke some hash
And give an extra star

 

lol no, speeds would be completely different, assuming sci-fi level techs.

 

If everything is "the best ever", then being the best has no meaning anymore.
