I've always thought ME games were pretty bad :shrug:

I wish the internet wasn't such a dick about it though. I hope Bioware/that employee brings lawsuits against the people being assholes.

Nah, lets stick them all in one basket and say none of their opinions matter, they're a smear campaign, it's a non issue and that the game is great.

I didn't say any of that and I was addressing Memphis's post and his ilk who bring that up ad nauseam. In fact I posted a video myself with criticisms and referenced that bad reviews that came out last night by people who actually played the game. Great job falling back into your red font, dumb twat devils advocate routine though. Time to go back to ignoring you.

... They have to start Gamergate 2.0 smear campaign and personally hunt down everyone involved to try and get them fired.

No normal person really gives a shit about the cuckadoodledoo memph posted. To me the game looks disappointing and mediocre because it looks disappointing and mediocre, not because of "incompetent hires" or "racist staff" which is just memph and the rest of the angry reddit fedorales trying to stick their inverted knobs into everything to try and make another gender/race conflict.

It must really suck going through life always trying to get angry and depressed about shit that doesn't matter. EA and Bioware failed to make a good video game, so don't play it and get on with your life. Or just kill yourself, no one cares.

BTW after seeing some of the devs tweets, it's some pretty racist shit...

Shaft is replying to memph's incessant whining in this thread, I don't think he's following this devastating news with fervor.

I googled the racist devs tweets and only found one instance of some mentally-challenged Indian who worked for Bioware. Is that the guy you're talking about? He seems like a complete piece of shit but is he the only one? Looks like he even got fired so good riddance.

The same search also revealed the identity of one of the main writers and the lead facial animator. They look white to me...

By incessant whining in this thread I assume you mean his opening post where he says the game is suffering a backlash because X ?

Followed by some constructive discussion then Shafts autism ?

And yea, that's the dude - lead designer ?, he also attacked his potential fanbase, so the backlash towards the company isn't so surprising having brought them into disrepute. It's why I mentioned Pewdiepie and the hoards of people trying to get him fired, but that was ok, innit ?

And yea, she looks white as fuck.

Actually you misread my post, "in this thread" is defining the location where Shaft is replying to the OP, not that OP has been whining several times in this thread. We all know his whining is spread out through the rest of this messageboard. Like cancer :smirk:

Regarding backlash, where is it coming from? Sweaty reddit nerds? I have tons of gaming friends and none of their lives seem to be in turmoil like memph and all the other triggered snowflakes who are always looking for something to get offended by.

How about they just don't give their money to EA and find another hobby?

Funny thing is that ME 2 and 3 are the games I have spent most hours in (after Quake 3 of course). No, the games weren't perfect at all. But the action with the storytelling was gripping enough to let me play it for 50-60 hours. Which I NEVER do, because I just don't have that time anymore.

I'll be playing ME Andromeda, but not pre-ordering it.

DX:HR was the game that finally taught me not to pre-order
For me it was Watch_Dogs. Fuck you, GKY, and your stupid underscore.

So I started over from the trial when the full game came out.

Made a woman since I didn't want to play Uncharted:Mass Effect with dude bro who sounded like North.
Seems they tweaked the initial missions as well as the range of the biotic abilities. It was super easy to pull people from cover halfway across the map in the trial. Couldn't do that anymore.
Some of the secondary conversations are pretty disjointed but the main cast seems good. Kumail Nanjiani voicing Jarun Tann is bad. The tone shift between different lines in the same conversation is really disjointed.

The ship and the galaxy are pretty fucking good though. Waaay better than the Normandy. No loading screens and what you see out the windows actually corresponds to where you are when you exit the map.
Traveling around the galaxy, while slow, is cool as shit and seems like it was made for VR. The planet scanning can seem slow until you learn to look with your own eyes instead of following a ping 100% of the time like the old games.

I just realized my femshep looks like the Radeon woman.

He just looks inside as if saying, "this is normal"

I especially like that he jumps off, it adds an extra level of absurdity to it. :D
