Alex's description of it as "Lynchian" is spot on, especially the beginning part with the silent krogan.

A couple of days ago I remembered that Tales of Symphonia has been sitting in my steam library for months now. I used to watch my friends play it a lot when it first came out, so I have a bit of nostalgia for the world and the characters. I think I'm finally going to start playing it myself today.
I should probably install this fix before I start playing, right? Also, I didn't know the game was capped at 30 FPS. That's a bit disappointing...

Jeff and Vinny firing on all cylinders. That P5 QL was so bittersweet, and you could tell they felt it too.
Fuck EA for releasing this unfinished trash.

Ffffucking hell the ME:A Sex scenes are painful to watch even with Jeff, Brad, Jason, and Rorie commenting. Someone needs to mod the shit out of Mass Effect with anime eroge cutaways. Turn all dialogue sequences into text boxes. Replace dialogue choices as numbered columned text choices. Give everyone anime portraits. Just turn it into full on dating Sim.

MEA faces are just unacceptable in 2017. They should be ashamed of themselves. I don't blame the artists or animators, management made the calls that led to the game being released like this.

the funny thing is that particular cutscene is probably one of the most used examples of how fucked up it gets.
Wonder whats so special about it.

does that scene consistently play like that, or is it just luck of the draw? 0_0

The video he showed on UPF was also funny.
E: Crank F&F when.
You can't fucking beat Martin Sheen doing VO.

Look, I'm not saying Alex totally kills the feature, but what exactly does him spoiling minor stuff like that add? In the first movie, Johnny Tran gets shot on the motorcycle and before he's even on the ground dead, he's like "Ladies and gentlemen, that's the last we ever see of Johnny Tran", why can't he wait like ten seconds to say that when they see he's dead? Or when Mia's throwing up after seeing the baby, Vinny asks if they have kids and Alex says "no", and then says "yet" totally unprompted two seconds later. Are they gigantic spoilers that ruin everything? Of course not, but there're countless examples of him doing things like that throughout the entire series that just add nothing.
Did I overreact? Probably. In the long run, will it majorly affect anyone's enjoyment of the movies? Not really. Is it annoying? Yes.

Alex is a little too "I know everything that happens in this movie," but it doesn't ruin the experience
He's really energetic about the 5th movie. Listening to it now but I'm loving the energy from the all

Indeed. That's one of the major negatives I find in ME:A, it's like every character has an overblown voice gone through autotune. I can't explain it fully but it's annoying to my ears, they don't sound natural at all. The bad performances just makes things worse.
What the actual fuck.
Brad wasn't kidding, expectations were exceeded.

are reviews even assigned to people anymore
No, he took the Herculean task upon his own shoulders. Giantbb doesn't review anything that they don't wanna. That's why you get like 5 reviews a year.
I'm pretty sure they simply choose to do a review.

that's the opposite of fine, "oh my dialogue stopped guess I have to reset"
Since Vinny doesn't write reviews Brad was the only person who could've done it. He considers Mass Effect to be the best thing that came out of the last generation. Which is objectively false. It's Mario Galaxy 2. The best game of all time.

Christ, every single shot is fucked. There's not a camera cut that's salvageable in that entire scene.

Haha, you almost had me. Then I saw Tony Hawk Pro Skater 5.
I knew it was a joke since none of these are old games.

Man, I really hope the next game capitalizes on the momentum the series has right now. They haven't really had back-to-back bangers since RE1 and RE2.
I love the old games, but there are games on that list that are from last year.
