The Mass Effect 3/BioWare Thread

    Mass Effect is a solid and very fun game. The combat is diversified, the story is truly scifi-fag and very interesting (at least until they fucked it up in part 3) , great music, decent to good writing, an interesting galaxy with a lot of exploring, decent RPG light mechanics, interesting companions, etc. They are solid games and I like Mass Effect 1 + 2 (not Mass Effect 3) quite a bit.

    A true shit game is anything that Bethesda has ever developed. All of Bethesda's games are pristine chunks of pure and refined shit. :)

    umm, the story is typical fantasy ancient evil awakens drivel with some scifi buzzwords like quantum entanglement thrown in without any understanding.

    You know, its really not enough just to claim something to make it true.

    The combat is mediocre.

    The story is mind numbing stupid crap they literally STOLE and then ruined by their ignorance and stupidity - into a laughable stupid shit it is. A nonsensical moronic incoherent turd.
    The only one who can claim it was a good story is someone who hasnt read any actual science fiction in his life!
    Go fucking check Fred Saberhagen Berserker series and see when the first came out.

    They fucked it up in the first game, completely destroyed it in second and then ... the third... i dont even know what the fuck that is.

    Music?

    Decent writing? like ... what the fucking fuck?
    Compared to what? The average codex moron capabilities?

    An interesting galaxy?
    ...fucking :lol:

    Lot of... :lol: exploring? Seriously? :lol:

    There is no RPG light... that doesnt exist. You just invented it.
    Its a fucking Arpg-shooter hybird.

    bethesda and biowhore are the same.

    I often find myself criticizing stories for being fucking stupid or illogical. Not for Mass Effect though.

    I could use your argumentation on Fallout too. The story is a typical fantasy save the world drivel with some scifi buzzwords like quantum entanglement thrown in without any understanding.

    Where was "quantum entanglement" used in Fallout?

    @DeepOcean already put me on ignore because I like Mass Effect.

    :incline:



    I like Mass Effect and that is why I like it. No need to argue with you because you disagree... because it has too much alien buttfucking or something. I admit that the alien romance stuff is stupid, it wasn't very hard to avoid though.

    No, youre just someone who is entirely ignorant.

    I dont give a fuck what you like or how much you like it. That is completely irrelevant.

    Alien romance and buttfucking?
    Is that what i wrote in that post you quoted?

    How about we discuss the story itslef. At least it main beats eh?
    An ancient evil arises - again - this time in completely stolen form of super AIs who go genocidal on galaxy every 50,000 years.

    Ever played Freespace?

    Why dont you search for Fred Saberhagen on wiki? Why dont you get yourself acquainted with how that branch of science fiction developed further and with examples of other writers handling the same theme?

    Why dont you tell me what fucking sense that story had internally in mass defect? The "youre too stupid to understand out greatness" Sovereign spluttered. What came of it?

    Why is the whole universe made specifically to show humans as super duper lifeforms without which all other races would simply fall on their asses? How does idiotic simplistic concept of a fucking hero like Shephard align with that?
    Why is there a race of only female blue super sexy chicks who only exist to suck the player shriveled ego?

    tell me how much it meant for you to "buttfuck" some asari or make them have lesbian secX!?
    You played with a female Shep didnt you, you naughty savior of galaxy you :wiggles fingers:



    ... youre nothing but a declined ignorant who thinks something is good because following sequels were even stupider.

    nice imagination you have there. But it only means i am actually correct and you are an ignorant moron who actually doesnt have anything else to say, except that you liked it. Of course. What else, being a stupid superficial moron.

    i'm afraid that says more about your lack of knowledge to properly judge or incredible ability to suspend disbelief than it does about mass effect's quality.
    not while leaving "quantum entanglement" or "typical fantasy" in that sentence.

    I quit mass effect immediately after I fapped to fucking an alien. I chuckled upon thinking of Captain Kirk and then quit. Never once even reloaded that save.

    The Mass Effect theory in the game is based on the Higgs Mechanism and the Higgs-Boson (which was recently discovered). There is no proof that it is not possible to somehow lower or raise the mass of objects by manipulating the Higgs Field, which is actually theoretically possible. So, it has a lot less to do with suspension of belief, the game uses theories that cannot be disapproved because they don't breach the laws of physics. So, the only people with a lack of knowledge (in physics) is you and Hiver. No need to be butthurt and call a game shit because you can't grasp a simple theory, that cannot be disapproved with our current knowledge.

    The ghouls in Fallout though, you really have to promote suspension of disbelief to believe how they are created. i.e. Stick a human in a nuclear reactor and you produce a ghoul. LOL. But I don't mind, it is just a game, and fits together nicely with it's 1950's-esque B movie lore.

    So, Fallout is a great game with it's illogical bullshit, but Mass Effect is a shit game, because you consider it to be illogical. Certianly smells like hypocrisy to me.

    My name is Hiver, anybody who likes a game that I consider to be shit is an ignorant moron and it makes me soooo mad that I have to throw a hissy fit again.

    Hey guise, look - another extremely emotionally engaged newfag dumbfuck is desperately trying to excuse and hide his stupidity... and only makes it even more blatant.

    You poor stupid shit... do try to just stating something idiotically stupid a few more times instead of coming up with a single answer about any part of that laughably stupid shit i mentioned. - surely it will work next time!



    :lol: Who the fuck asked you about mass effect "theory", moron?
    haha... you actually think that inventing something idiotic that cannot be directly disproved makes a believable "theory" :lol:
    whoahahahaha....

    Did you know there are pink elephant galaxies made out of giant pink elephants that are out of the reach of any telescope? You cant disprove that!

    Are you capable of understanding that "lowering a mass of an object" has nothing to do with Faster then Light travel - which does break the law of physics?
    Are you capable of understanding that nobody ever mentioned that cheap plot-setting crap before you just did? That it isnt really important at all?
    While what they did with it and how it was used - IS.

    Or do you think youre very smart for just pretending thats an issue?
    :lol:

    Im not sure which option is more stupid,...


    Youre not an ignorant moron just because you like something. Nobody said that so you can stop pretending thats the actual issue, moron. Youre a stupid pathetic human turd because you are ignorant - and a megastupid dumbfuck who desperately tries to hide his stupidity behind blatantly obvious ad hominems and laughable strawman arguments.
    Go back to being a cheap shit troll. You dont have the knowledge, IQ or a brain strong enough to lead normal conversation. Let alone anything more demanding.

    well, no proof or indication aside from the fact that mass is energy and reducing mass would violate the laws of conversation of energy without anything additional. even if you convert the energy to kinetic you still are not theoretically able to propel the object to ftl speeds.. then you have the thing that the higgs mechanic isn't even responsible for most of the mass of a given object, as far as i know.
    wormholes don't breach the laws of physics know to us. warp drives that work by propelling the space around you rather than yourself or your ship could theoretically be possible. ftl travel by lowering an object's mass is not. ftl communication by quantum entanglement even less so. the bullshit about human genetic diversity is just icing on the top of the cake as is the description of the brightly glowing visible mass relays being cold objects that emit no radiation (such as light).
    gods cannot be disproved. that doesn't make gods hard or proper science fiction. science fiction isn't about bullshitting your way through whatever brainfarts you came up with, it's about logically coherent extrapolation from what we currently know.
    good thing its devs didn't try promoting it as hard sf then.

    I thought id never see the day, on the codex...

    Of course, mass brain-defect is not a science fiction. Its a cheap stupid sci-fi pulp space opera. A retarded, idiotic fantasy hiding behind superficial layer of various sci-fi elements just randomly thrown over it. None of which were originally created by bioware or the devs. It was simply stolen, copied from various wiki articles and lifted from various actual science fiction stories and novels.

    Of course, maybe the original devs had some other ideas about it, but they got... what... let go?

    yeah? how come? save me googling it wiil ya?

    I figured that mentioning that you would need to input "some" energy into "lowering the mass" would be too complicated for that level of stupidity and ignorance.

    Yup. Even if it actually should be called traveling without moving, not a warp drive but i guess trekies outnumber Duneheads in some circles... the fucks...
    It doesnt have anything to do with anything in Mass brain-defect series, though.

    Not that I care about ME one way or the other, but I remember a quote from Chris l'Etoile (ME1 writer, left Bioware halfway through ME2) saying that ME was intended to be "drywall" SF: looks like hard SF as long as you don't lean on it too heavily.

    It never looked like even just SF, let alone anything hard. If the writer said that it only means he is a complete imbecile.

    iO9 had one of their "ask the audience" shits the other day about plot twists that make no sense. Automatic first post was of course that the Reapers were designed to destroy organics to stop them from making robots that destroyed organics (god writing it hurts so much.)

    The Bioware Defense Force launched their response attack... "guys, they only culled the most advanced species! So it makes sense!"

    In other words Bioware plots are the Special Olympics of science fiction.

    Biowareans come from a galaxy where reapers regularly cull the most advanced writers.

    You are kidding right? They are not seriously bringing the Reaper story back? Though with news the lead designer is now replaying the trilogy that could make sense. They want to find some nutty justification in the trilogy for carrying on with Reaper threat? If true that would be a scandalous and even worse than they hacked up the end of the series, unnecessarily.

    I´m sure they would not stoop so low to bringing Shepard back after all they said at end of ME3.....or would they?

    One of the bros above predicted that the player will be an amnesiac Shepard in ME4.

    But that's not true of course, Bioware would never go so far to butcher their previous main characters like that. Right?

    Right?

    We are talking about the company that created space Jesus and the retarded space child. What are you thinking? That, at this point, some writer in there has any clue about what his are doing? Bioware writing was always kinda shitty but since Mass Effect it is like the writers had became lunatics that chant: "cocks in our ass is good.". I wouldn't expect anything rational from them.
