The Mass Effect 3/BioWare Thread

[Comrade Goby]

"NBA 2K series > EA basketball."

If I agree with this statement.. does that make me smart?


EA has dominated football (both tyopes), NHL, baseball (not always soemtimes other games do better), basketball (at times), and hockey. They ar every consistent in putting out fun sports products. the fact they can make me enjoy soccer in the past says soemthing. Still, overall, barring some exception, EA is plainly fukkin' awesome at sports games. Outsuide of them now controlling BIO, I don't give a shit about their other games too much.

Dominated football? Not fucking hard when you have an exclusive deal so you have no competition. They sure as fuck better dominate in that case.

 

[Volourn]

They were fukkin' dominating with Madden even before the exclusive. Even the silly discuounted trash 2k was elease w- hile it sold - didn't stop Madden from selling millions.

It should be pointed out that during the years 2k had exclusive rights to MLB games.. they weren't exactly setting the house on fire with sales. R00fles!

 

[Aeschylus]

Just feel the need to point out that high sales figures != quality.

 

[Outlander]

So today Bioware released the ''patch'' that addresses the face import bug, some supposed crashes and multiplayer stuff (the quest journal is still useless).

Needless to say, the biodrones are raging.

Can't you customize your face even when you import, anyway? Why don't you just remake your character? Why does it matter if your character doesn't look 100% exactly the same anyway? Do your eyebrows and hairstyle have to be 100% identical? Jeez, these people.

how immature of them to not manage their expectations

they are not entitled to working facial feature transfer, they got a full game and are acting like spoiled children over little details that don't affect the quality of an otherwise flawless game

if they want bioware to do better they should vote with their wallets and preorder dragon age 3 to show that they still have their trust in this important juncture unlike these people who are nostalgic for mass effect 1 and 2 and cannot be satisfied

ps hold the line

Apparently, there are assets missing from the ME3 editor (eye shapes, hair styles, etc) so it is possible that you can't even manually tweak your fucked up import.

ps hold the line

 

[Sceptic]

I love that Bioware is now this evil company for not addressing fan feedback... on THE LOOK OF THE FACE. Everything else before that was forgivable but face import bug? OUTRAGE.

Some of them are... creepy. There's one that documents multiple passes through playing with Photoshop overlays to get the eye color just right.

And then Christ chose to be crucified on the green cross, for he was a hippie.

Not even a little close, different hair, different hair colour, different eyebrow/colour, lips/colour, eyes/colour, makeup, nose shape and complexion

But apparently 'close enough' :/ Woo...

I've been PAINFULLY holding off playing this game since release to play this game with the face fixed and now I get this....

delish

This is unacceptable. We waited a month for THIS??? REALLY?

exquisite

Every single one of my Sheps are changed for a "default" one

finger-lickin' good

RETAKE MASS EFFECT 3 CAMPAIGNS TO BUY ADVERTISING SPACE ON BILLBOARDS

Hold the line is currently in the middle of a Billboard campaign, which is asking it's members to spend the money they would normally spend buying an EA DLC, instead on a billboard outside of the EA HQs. This is the discussion of the billboard campaign in specific. $10 spent, to go someplace that isn't EA's pocket, and to show them that a billboard is more valuable to us, and to show them that we are willing to spend money, and act with our wallet and not just our words.

Hold the line!

 

[sgc_meltdown]

BILLBOARDS

Okay, this is getting out of hand. Seriously? A BILLBOARD? As if I thought the Retake group couldn't get any more desperate. It's bordering on mass hysteria. It's a video game ffs. And retake doesn't understand why people call them whiney and immature.

At this point, I would welcome Bioware telling everyone enough is enough. Because the people in retake that are even considering this don't deserve anything.

However...

You do realize what you're aiming to do is illegal, right? Its considered a Smear Campaign and they can sue you for it.

yes yes fight each other over your dungheap

I haven't seen this much drama ever since fallout 3 was released

 

[Outlander]

I'm so over this BS.

I'm playing new adventures with new characters already, my classic Shepard is shot. BioWare, I'll be damned if you ever get another dime from me. You can seriously kiss my ass. I don't even have the patch yet (360) and judging by the PC players on here and the pics they have posted, forget it. Disgusting display of an attempt to fix something that should have never happened.

Gibbed editor? I don't think so. I shouldn't have to resort to that...this is the lowest of lows. Can anybody think of a bigger mess up in gaming history? This thread will be closed tomorrow, problem solved.

If I saw Chris or whatever his name is, I'd consider knocking his teeth down his throat. And that's what he deserves. Ban me if you want, I'm done anyways. Pieces of **** no good mother****ers.

: x

Seems like all the decline, mainstreaming and mediocrity from the last decade is finally catching up to Bioware.

 

[Oriebam]

Somebody should compile ALL the plot holes, ALL the in-game evidence proving that Bioware flat-out lied to their costumer's faces, along with appropriate screenshots both from the game and from interviews/tweets/press releases and do a massive Bioware-ripping-Oblivion-style-epic-RPGCodex-review.

The lulz and the butthurt would be of majestic proportions.

I'm willing to help hunting down incriminating evidence from various websites.

too optimistic

really, I don't think anything would change(a RPGC review won't make (m)any butts hurt, because our majestic target audience won't read it), and the review wouldn't really be lulzy

besides there's probably too much bullshit for you to possibly catch it all, especially if we count their forum

This actually could have been quite lulzy if done right. Unfortunately they already failed, no suprise here.

 

[DwarvenFood]

They are not lies. This thread is closed.


LOCKDOWN!

That man's weight is only exceeded by his see you next Tuesday-ness.

Those tactical shooter guys should rename their game to LOCKDOWN, masses of gamers are already subliminally indoctrinated.

 

[Stereotypical Villain]

I hear that EA has the gold edition of this game in their office.

 

[Ulminati]

So Call of Duty with gay romance QTEs?

 

[IronicNeurotic]

Yes, yes. Compare the Mass Effect ending controversity to Christianity (and do it wrong, too). That won't backfire. At all.

What retard made this guy community manager? I mean for what skills does this guy actually get paid? I could get a hobo from the street and he would be better at it.

 

[Stinger]

To be fair, the Book of Revelations i.e. the actual ending to the New Testament makes no fucking sense and would make me rage too if I actually gave a damn about Christianity.

But seriously, way to fucking go with the strawmen Priestly. Does anyone call him out on his bullshit?

 

[Oesophagus]

Heh heh! Oh wow, no inflated ego at all! Yeah, the story of Motherfucker Shepard is surely on a par with the allegoric writing in the Book of Revelations, which influenced western culture for centuries, and the Illusive Man's story is obviously the next step from Milton's "Paradise Lost". Get over yourselves, dipshits. You made a shit story and you should apologise and not do that again.

 

[Cowboy Moment]

That's supposed to be a "so dumb it's funny" joke I think. Surely, even Priestly must have heard of Jesus' resurrection.

 

[Ulminati]

That's supposed to be a "so dumb it's funny" joke I think. Surely, even Priestly must have heard of Jesus' resurrection.

What you apparently forget is that most bibles printed after Gutenberg come with the DLC preinstalled. Back in the day, the bible ended with Jesus dying, but the jews made an extended cut after butthurt christdrones demanded a happier ending for proper closure.

Even today you still have to grind "tithe" points online or buy the iPreach app and reccomend it to everyone on your faithsbook account to reach the "best" ending in christianity.

And don't get me started on all the creepy "fanscrolls" about how Mary could carry a child and still technically be a virgin.
