MAP POP IN

Its impresive that even on a new generation of consoles, on a completely different engine a lot of the classic Mass Effect jank is still there.

Someone remind Brad he's a professional critic. Bad shit is bad - it being there 10 years ago doesn't matter.

EDI was so good, though

Even Legion was better than SAM is (so far, at least).

 

[Felix Lighter]

Dice does such amazing things with Frostbite. Characters, environments, animations, effects, no excuse other than subpar artists.

nah

Again, reminiscent of Fallout 4. At some point shit should stop being acceptable.

It is Brad "Fallout 4" Shoemaker.

Dude, ME3 was like his no. 2 goty.

I love Mass Effect 3, I literally just replayed the trilogy and I think this game looks like ass

Vinny is gonna be sad man when he plays this.

I can't hear excuses like that anymore. Same shit every time Bethesda delivers a new broken mess.

 

[Quonny]

i hope vinny gets as mad at this as he did pewdiepie

 

[Death Metalist]

 

[Lunar FC]

This looks like poop.

 

[J_Viper]

Well, at least the combat seems okay. Solid audio work on the guns.

 

[Strimei]

Wow, the kett really do look as lame as I thought they would.

Like...bargain bin elites from Halo with rock skin.

 

[SandwichMeat]

combat seems pretty ok

bummer that they took out all the squad stuff. so you can't pause and pick abilities for you and the squad to use??

 

[Sleeping Lesson]

I will still end up playing the shit out the multiplayer.

 

[mnz]

Had to make another one of this crew member landing

edit: Wrong one.

 

[J_Viper]

s-she's fast!

Except for Zelda.

sounds like zelda to me

 

[Real Hero]

Nah dude not at all

 

[mikeGFG]

Does anyone have a link handy to the video clip where Vinny ever so slowly pulls a giant bottle from his jacket?

 

[Twin Tails]

I started the game, people are in the MP.

No bars to fill, battle gives you resources for medicine and new weapons. There's no scanning either.

 

[Strimei]

Noot noot mouth sighting!

 

[Data West]

you also lose weapons and medicine in battle

if anything, the combat in zelda is even more meaningless. and korok seeds and shrines are your bars to fill.

and there is scanning. its the camera.

 

[Death Metalist]

I started the game, people are in the MP.

Finally, Mass Effect turned out to be the real COD.

 

[Human Trashcan]

Noot noot mouth sighting!

lol I caught that too

But at least I can take selfies.

Checkmate, mass effect.

great ancient alien tech. chosen one. special destiny.

every Bioware game I've been playing since I was 12.

I like when DA 2 defenders try to act like DA 2 didn't do this

like the shit at the end of DA 2 wouldn't have gone on to be a worldwide catastrophe.

Breh, shrines are the gameplay of Zelda. They are puzzles. You can't possibly compare them to skinning pigs or something for a bigger purse.

You don't need to scan anything. It's not an integral part of the game unless you make it one.

The combat still isn't meaningless. You get new and better weapons. That's the loop. You might not like it much, that doesn't make it meaningless.

There's more soul in Zelda's tutorial plateau than anything I've seen from Mass Effect so far. And that's a buuuuuuuuuummer. ME2 is one of my favourite games ever.

 

[Kaizer]

This stream & other impressions are just confirming my decision to wait for a bargin bin sale for Andromeda & wait it out 2 weeks so I can dive into Persona 5. Currently working my way through Horizon & Nier Automata anyway.

 

[GustyGardens]

I'm not too upset with the character models and faces as a whole, but the eyes are certainly off-putting. I remember the player character in Inquisition looked similarly unsettling.

I'm looking forward to the game, but I would not have been upset if Bioware had taken another year to polish it up.

I don't think I'm going to cancel my pre-order, though. Three wasn't the highlight of the series, but I never had any regrets buying it when it came out.

 

[Meguro]

All actions in videogames are meaningless if you really think about it.
Shooting a dude in Destiny doesn't actually do anything.
Getting a levelup in Horizon doesn't actually do anything.
Videogames don't actually do anything.

 

[mnz]

I wanted to say the new Mako looks great, but then it couldn't drive up a hill

 

[Khezu]

It didn't squash the spider, it just pushed it around.

Videogames don't actually do anything.

And we all die eventually, to be forgotten by a universe that doesn't care.

 

[Metroidvania]

I seriously don't understand the person at Bioware who went 'you know, we should make the all-terrain switch in the nomad require a button press'

I'm guessing it's actually to make sure you don't have a whole lot of speed going up hills so you can't go out of bounds, but still.....just why?

but you dont alwyas get new and better weapons. just because you like it doesn't mean its not tedious.

These camera angles are blowing my mind
