Mass Effect 3 VGA gameplay trailer

[Vaarna_Aarne]

Has "cinematic" gaming produced anything of value?

Legacy of Kain series.

 

[villain of the story]

LOL @ Reaper trooper looking like a sci-fi Darkspawn.

Then again, the two franchises are thematically identical.

 

[MapMan]

Gears of Effect 3.

"stick to cover!"

Thats a brilliant idea, especially when reapers reap shit with their lazors, blowing everything up.

It's been a while, but I don't remember it permeating the entire game to the point that the gameplay is a secondary trifle. The original game's narration was more like theater, and it had cutscenes, but the great majority of its duration, the player was left on their own. In Soul Reaver, game and cutscene were seperate, not melded to like today's Cinematical Narratological Lifestyle Experience.

Roll-playing game. See, Bioware cares.

 

[sea]

A team of 70 artists and animators worked for 3 months on this sequence, and the most compelling gameplay they could come up with is "run in a straight line and press a button."

Fuck you, videogames.

 

[Majestic47]

I can't wait.

 

[Baron]

I'd probably be a little more enthusiastic if I were the Reaper or the Thresher Maw. Or the button at the end.

Oh and also did Shepard say "holy shit" right before it started shooting? Yeah quality writing there, make your characters swear at random intervals so the kids know they're playing a mature game.

There are many things wrong with BioWare games, but this isn't one of them. Somebody saying "holy shit" is so commonplace in video games, movies and real life that it's not even worth talking about.

Reminds me of this trailer

So some people managed to get their hands on a leaked Mass Effect 3 Beta.

Yes, there's an option to have the game decide your conversations for you.

I have no windows but I must self-defenestrate

 

[racofer]

I wonder what sort of advanced, deep and mature features will get enabled with RPG Mode selected.

It will enable the Tranny revelation option.

Spoiler

Roll d20 + Will save to avoid being frightened when you realize its the truth against the DC of d20 + 15

 

[RK47]

It saves time, maybe it defaults into certain Paragon / Renegade choice if you set it at the start?

 

[Ermm]

I really played only the first Mass Effect for like 2 hours, and I don't want to play through it, so anyone can post the most lulzy moments? You know, like top 10?

 

[Shadenuat]

Looks just like Transformers 4. I wonder if I could somehow play this with one hand, cause I need another to handle my beer and popcorn.

 

[torpid]

Looks just like Transformers 4. I wonder if I could somehow play this with one hand, cause I need another to handle my beer and popcorn masturbate furiously to badly-animated sex scenes.

Fixed. Emotionally engaging gameplay.

 

[Shadenuat]

I don't think there would be any torpid, they got rid of nudity after that scandal when ME1 came out no? I can't masturbate to sex scenes where everyone wears clothes or http://images.wikia.com/masseffect/imag ... hotme2.jpg this shit.

Bioware even can't into cool nicknames. Really? Joker?

A soldier who's getting attacked by giant laser cannons as he runs across a battlefield isn't going to take the time to say "holy shit". Typically if you're doing something dangerous that requires lots of attention, you aren't going to say anything at all because you're focused on the task at hand. And also Shepard doesn't strike me as the type to randomly go "holy shit" ever, as it doesn't fit well with his serious business space commander persona. He's been in similar situations before and yet has never said "holy shit" or any other similar exclamation so I don't see why he'd start now.

Just when you thought they couldn't decline anything anymore....... they let now answers answer themself :D

What about his other points?


actually, while holy shit has been said I don't think there was such a reaction to such a event ever in the series

 

[attackfighter]

Mass Effect is not ARMA.

Imagine if Luke Skywalker looked up at the imperial walker about to crush his spaceship in Empire and went "what the fuck!" or something. The wording just isn't suitable for the setting, and in fact the scene works better without any words spoken at all. Same thing in the ME trailer. The only explanation I can think of for it is that someone decided the action was too dull for a trailer (which it was) and that they needed some kind of cue for the audience to realise what they were watching was meant to be extreme. And so being creative types they came up with "holy shit!" and threw it in at an indiscriminate point where something happens, or whatever.
