^That's awesome! We should set up a Texas LAN this summer for everyone who lives here.
I hate living here. The summers are so crowded with tourists and no one knows how to drive around the square. So many accidents
^^the map is called shutout and it's good for swat and throwdowns
But it wasn't. That's the point. Sure they boxed themselves into a corner, but
every single storyline and plot point was invalidated with the ending. And so in the end, all of a sudden Shepard has to accept that he either controls the reapers, destroys them, but loses all technology and AI, or merges all organic and artifical life together.
What was the point of anything in the game though? It felt like a slap in the face. It also made no sense for a lot of people. All of a sudden, the citadel has some type of AI on board that no one could ever detect. It's been there millions of years, etc. And yet in the first game, the reapers needed to control Saren so that he could find and restart the Ilos relay to bring them back etc. If the starchild can control them, can control the citadels movement, has space magic powers, why couldn't he do it before? Why didn't he help sovereign? It was like a deus ex machina almost. What was the point in us curing the genophage, gathering our forces and allies to fight the reaper, if the end was going to invalidate the choices?
I don't know, I guess I got too into the series. But I wasn't alone in the way I felt. I didn't like the backlash, but the fact is, it was nearly unprecedented. Websites, forums, twitter, all on this singular issue. And it's why they all of a sudden reversed course and gave a much better free extended cut ending.
I wonder if you played through the game and viewed the original ending, not the extended cut version and if you'd feel the same. I know I felt like shit for a few days. Like this series I cared about so much, got so into, ended on such a bad note. It's been about a year now, but I got into a lot of the discussions on bioware social network, gamefaqs, twitter back when the game was out.
Though it's a wall of text, this person summed up a lot of the problems. I'm over it now, but as a huge fan of the series, it was a poor ending. Perhaps one of the worst gaming moments in my life.
The ending was perfect if ME3 was one single game but you actually carried all your stuff from two games just waiting to get you own custom ending but no. The ending even ignore your own ME3 playthrough.
Wow, I looked at your profile to find your GT and I had no idea that you were from Austin! I live about 45 minutes south in New Braunfels. Have you ever been to Schlitterbahn?
Are Panasonic plasmas still worth it? Sharp makes them now, don't they? I have 2 Panny LCDs that are about 2-3 years old that I will never get rid of. Great colors and near zero input lag.
Just saw this.. I can't believe how much better everything looked and sounded then! The morph ball thing actually seemed like a great dynamic.. as did the destructible bodies. It kills me how the designs changed for the worse (IMO).. Blah. Anyways, I thought it was really interesting and deserved more attention, so I made a thread: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?p=57069144#post57069144
You are going to have to do expedited shipping as well. You're going to have to pay a professional to calibrate your television for maximum viewing pleasure for a low price of ~$80, and because I'm telling you exactly what to do you are going to have to pay me a $50 royalty fee.
You are going to have the best television experience of your life.

Not looking to start a war that would derail the thread here, and I know you're just trying to help, McDangles, but I couldn't help but throw my two pennies into the pond on Kyle's behalf.
- DO NOT spend $300 on an HDMI cable. You're throwing money into the trash bin. You can get high quality cables that will give you every bit as good of a picture from Monoprice.com or from Bluejeanscable.com, in the $25-50 range, depending upon what length you need.
- If you want to spend that money on something that actually will improve your picture, look into getting a Darbee Darblet.
- If you're going to get a calibration, get a real one from a real ISF-Certified tech. This will be a lot more than $80, but it will also be a lot better than what you're going to get from some pimple-faced Geek Squad dweeb who doesn't really know what he's doing.
Either the full calibration from a real ISF tech or the addition of the Darblet will get you much more bang for your buck than any HDMI cable.
It depends on seating distance, but in general, the bigger the TV, the further your eyes have to move around in order to see what's happening at the edges. A smaller TV at the same distance makes it easier to take in everything in your FOV at a glance without making your eyes do a bunch of extra work to scan the screen.

Yeah I've got a 24 in 1080p monitor I switch between my Xbox and using as a second screen for my laptop. 2ms grey to grey response so it's not bad for gaming once you hook it up to some nice speakers.
Yes, and it's something very few people think about or realize is happening. When you play on a larger TV, movements in your thumbs translate to much larger movements in real-world measurements. What used to be a 3-inch movement of your reticle now turns into a 10-inch movement. This makes your mind think your aim is flailing wildly, and you overcompensate as a result. It makes you feel like your aim is off. Obviously you can get used to it, but your aim will be much better on a smaller TV in general. Plus, you can focus better on a smaller screen because the data is much more compact and your eyes don't need to make gross movements just to see everything on screen. Any tournament level FPS player will prefer a smaller TV.
