The Mass Effect 3/BioWare Thread

Twitteers and 4channers don't need to know.

 

Who said anything about procreating? Maybe she mail-ordered a baby from China.

 

What a shame. Still hilarious that someone actually wrote that to begin with (and got published), though.

So, of BioWare?

 

I can see how her and us sharing a planet would be a bad thing. But since there's a bunch of us distributed all over the world (I mean, the logistics of rounding us up would be a nightmare), wouldn't it be both more cost-efficient and eco-friendly to settle for launching her into orbit? Same end result, less energy and smaller CO2 footprint.

 

of BioWare is the of RPG industry

 

Unrelated to HH's discussion, but the entire Mass Effect 3 soundtrack has leaked... through the demo!

Quite a few of them are "emotionally engaging" though, but there are some that reminded me of Mass Effect 1 premise of a sci-fi game.





Bonus:

 

Jennifer's story is already gaining some popularity.

  BioWare writer's vagina versus the Internet
  
  ...
  By far her greatest "crime" was suggesting that games should let the player skip combat, stating: "Games almost always include a way to "button through" dialogue without paying attention, because they understand that some players don't enjoy listening to dialogue and they don't want to stop their fun. Yet they persist in practically coming into your living room and forcing you to play through the combats even if you're a player who only enjoys the dialogue."
  Whether you agree or disagree, it's not like she cut a toddler's achilles tendons with a rusty scalpel. Still, however, this is the Internet.

  Hundreds of messages have been sent to Hepler, as a simple Twitter search shows. Many choose to attack her writing and ability to craft characters. A staggering number focus on her physical appearance, choosing to call her such delightful names as "fat bitch" and "obese cunt." Some want to know why she's "obsessed with shoehorning homosexual relationships down gamer's throats."
  ...

Maybe she will get fired in the end.

 

Fuck Gabe looks like 20 years older now. Has he lost a bet, or why does he do that?

 

Potato radio, newspaper and TV journalist

 

First of all, this is the 2012th post on this thread.

Secondly, the asperger in question is also a cosplayer.

 

Call me Becca. 19. Left-winger, atheistic, bi/ace/demi questioning dork who's unlikely to let your bullshit slide. Doctor Who, Harry Potter, Torchwood, The Hunger Games, Mass Effect, Dragon Age, politics, and feminism abound.

DID SHE JUST FUCKING INDIRECTLY COMPARE HERSELF TO SAMUEL BECKETT



Fuck it. It's personal now.

 

Aaryn Flynn (EA VP and General Manager of BioWare Edmonton) on Twitter:



Hahaha what a PR hell!

 

It's not PR hell at all.

Members of development studios have insulted fans and players of their games since the days of Derek Smart. This is commonplace behaviour in gaming industry.

 

This is awesome.

 

Track 6 sounds like a total rip-off of the Snow White trailer (with Charlize Theron). At least the beginning, just compare it.

What the fuck BioWare, it's like they don't even try to hide their plagiarism anymore.

 

It was gonna happen eventually. I mean, internet's gonna internet, but I get the feeling the tone of the discussion would've been different if it focused on her awful writing (with maybe an example or two, if there's the space) rather than taking pot shots at her. It allows her/BioWare/drones/? to frame the argument as "Hepler v trolls" instead of "Hepler bitches when criticized".

I doubt she'll get fired. If anything, she'll get a raise for fighting the good fight against sexism and misogyny.

 

Considering how retarded the management of EA/Bioware is these days and their target groups that's the most likely outcome

Not done yet.

 

The linked article also says:

RPG Codex >doesn't scale to your level

Maybe it should scale. At least the level of discussion should scale to higher than a really bad kindergarten discussion. It's pathetic how few decent people are on this forum which can distinguish between real and valid criticism and pure and utter abuse and insults, and how many shiteaters and arseholes and retards and people with an inferiority complex are here.

Why did you point out that she's apparently pregnant like it is something bad and weird? What shitty wanker are you racofer? Only way to cope with the fact she had more sex and probably is a more likable person than you is to put her down, shiteater? You all here pretend to be superior because "RPG Codex doesn't scale to your level", but in fact you are just idiots. Your retarded bullshit fucking posts piss me off so much!

SHUT THE FUCK UP RACOFER, YOU DIPSHIT, RETARDED ARSEHOLE! The person in the article is talking about "gamers" like you, you entitled imbecile!

Your post (post 2047 in this thread) is just another proof of that. It would be better if you get permanently banned from this forum, because it would definitely cause an .

 

Oh, and @copilotdork is demanding an apology from Aaryn Flynn. Strange.

 

That sounds a bit familiar
