The Batman DLC thing always sticks out in my mind. There are probably more recent examples though (like the Pewdiepie thing).

Precisely. The man is a mark for Mass Effect.
That was total BS, though. Like Geometry Wars over Mass Effect 2, come on.
And Alex never even played it and backstabbed him!
That's a good one
I forgot about that actually, all I remember is Vinny exploding on Alex for never playing Mass Effect 2
I don't know.
DA2 was a disappointment but it still had some good ideas and moments underneath it all. It was also made in about 14 months so its issues were a little more forgivable.

Wrong about commas, wrong about everything
Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes
ME: A is Citizen Kane when compared to DA2, but Vinny seems to love ME way more than DA. The pain of a bad sequel hits harder for some.

I don't want to see Vinny sad
We need to demand Square-Enix to greenlight a Sleeping Dogs 2 just in case.
I don't want to see Vinny sad
Might be angry instead.

I got no shortage of respect for Vinny, but I just don't understand the love for the Mass Effect series. I only played 1 and 2. The first was average at best, and the second was worse.

Wait someone in the jank thread said Bioware Montreal is the Army of Two team, just rebranded? Holy shit if that's true everything makes sense now.
Yeah. I have similar feelings to Vinny with ME and I am so bummed out at what I'm seeing. I haven't played it so maybe (hopefully) that'll change but I'm gutted. I imagine if the game is as bad as it looks Vinny will be pissed. Some people seem to like it though so we'll see, it could be alright. Saw some IGN dude saying how much he loves it on twitter, and how it gets better as it goes along. It's hard to look past these faces though. I mean look at this idle animation.
I'm only a few hours in, but outside of really bad animation jank and human character models, I don't think this game is a bad Mass Effect game. It has been a while since I messed around with the original trilogy though but the opening hours of this feel about on par with those. Probably fair if you expected way more from this game though.
Story set up is pretty uninteresting so far. Dialogue and character interactions on the ship seem totally OK with me, reminds me way more like a Telltale game though.
Yeah lol that gif is kind of amazing. Peebee has been better than I expected her to be so far. I'll have to watch the GB stream at some point.

Nioh can easily take 60+ hours, so I go with Nier first. And Nier's story seems more susceptible to being spoiled.

I haven't played the third one but my favorite is the second game by far. While I know it strayed far from its RPG roots, I feel the journey was alot more meaningful thanks in part to the loyalty missions and awesome characters like the illusive Man for one.

With amount a amazing games coming out. It seems like a waste to spend time on an OK Mass Effect game.

I see the logic that if anyone's playing ME2 again, it's on the PC and not an xbox one.
The PC version wasn't even that good of a port though. Aside from requiring Bioware points ( whatever the fuck those are) to buy DLC, it also doesn't have native controller support.
It's also a poor game and shouldn't have been up for the award for that reason, but their arguments unfortunately didn't consist of "It's a bland corridor shooter with a nonexistent story and boring generic angsty characters"
It still bugs me, and I haven't listen to the clip to see whether I misremember, that GB didn't actually bring up what this actually became: Warner got what it wanted, Gamestop still gets to sell it used on Warner's back (who knows how much they kicked up), but we all still had to deal with the Catwoman DLC and downloading that either way (so if your system wasn't online you just didn't get that part of the game). At that point it should have just been on the goddamn disc but the solution was so roundabout.
This was in the heyday of online passes, right? Just the single-player version.
Speaking of Mass Effect, fuck Javik being behind the Collector's Edition, too.
Burnout Paradise is always the right pick. Hell I'd play it for a third time right now if it was on PS4. What an amazing game.

I'm willing to bet most of the people who think Burnout Paradise is a bad game haven't played it with a bunch of friends to wreak havoc all around the city.
It's boring and doesn't have a proper crash mode. So yes.
Yep, it's definitely because I didn't play it online and with friends, but the other games are much MUCH better single player games.
Also, it made me take out Paradise City out of my song library.
I'm not sure if this is true. EA Montreal is apparently still its own thing I think.
Yeah, its singleplayer is boring as hell compared to other Burnout games.

3 is the best and anyone who says otherwise is wrong.
