WB doesn't seem to have any interest in doing things with its Midway purchases that aren't Mortal Kombat. Come to think of it, exactly nothing has come of the WB Vault initiative since it was announced almost 18 months ago: the Gauntlet remake is it.
Probably not. I played about 45 seconds of this... and I couldn't take it anymore. I wish I wasn't such a chicken when it comes to horror games. All I heard was knocking on the door and that was it for me son.

The ME3 ending is just the cherry on top of a shit sundae that starts smelling all the way back at the beginning of the Priority: Earth mission. Completely underwhelming most of the time, feels unpolished, narm-worthy moments ("STEEEEEVEEE!... you okay?"), mission objectives that come from nowhere (why is it we only find out when we're landing that we need heavy weapons to destroy the Spider-Reapers?Why don't we have heavy weapons on the Normandy?).
And then you get to the final act itself, where the Citadel starts displaying properties you've never seen before, the subtitles stop being consistent (
Anderson starts being referred to as an Admiral again
The final setpiece takes place in an area that makes no logical sense (it appears you're exposed to space for some reason), has machines that have odd properties (blowing up a power core causes the destruction wave to selectively target synthetics?), the character who introduces these options to you handwaves or ignores bigger issues of genocide/your previous decisions, and the endings themselves, EC or not, feel rushed and unsatisfying.
There was a plan before to have it come off looking even worse, with the Starchild/Catalyst originally called "Guardian", who would basically throw out less dialogue than in the pre-EC ending and tell you to hurry up and do something. I shudder to think what would have happened if EA didn't give Bioware that four-month extension back at the end of 2011.
Rant over, lol.

Sometimes I feel the same way. Especially horror movies too.
well, got a few more, but decided to just finish her story. you're right, there's no point in going for 100% since the idea is to piece it together yourself, you're not gonna find a video with a concrete answer
so after the very non-explanatory ending (well, i guess it sets a few uncertain things straight), i browsed a bit over the spoiler thread and seems like i got to the same conclusions as most people
really good game, i wholeheartly recommend it to anyone interested in experiments in storytelling and just good, well executed stories in general. reminded me a lot of analogue: a hate story, which is about the best compliment i can give a game, so yeah, fantastic game
much thanks to punchy for gifting it to me
i think it's the first game i finish in like 3 months lol
i'm at 34/52, not so bad lol
i hated almost everything about me3, so i have to agree, the ending is just like the culmination of a snowball of dumb that's built over that game

Interesting to see ME3 ending talk again. Most of you can describe so well what you think went wrong. I can't. I just hate it. Hatehatehate.
Doesn't help that I wanted to replay the game, but use the "nice ending mod" (that makes the Citadel DLC the end), and EA screwed everything up. I've asked them for help a bunch of times during TWO years now and they can't fix it.
The problem? I could buy the silly "Bioware points" needed for the DLC... but I can't spend the points. Meaning I have already spent the money but didn't get anything at all for it. I just get a general error message and they can't fix it. They gave me a single DLC for free "to see if I could download it". Worked perfectly. But then it was right back to "We can't do anything about this problem". How hard can it be to just give me the stuff for free since they can see the points in my account? I can't spend the points, and even if they somehow could ever fix it I would already own everything I could possibly buy.
Ugh. Sorry about the rant
Yeah and it worked perfectly when I played it. Best way to experience the third game for sure. All the nice stuff from New Vegas but with the world Bethesda built <3

Her Story is basically what people do to piece together lore in Souls games, except that's the express point of the game. It's devoid of traditional mechanics which is interesting because I can attest to the fact that sometimes my brain just turns off during mechanical interaction, especially if the game isn't spoon-feeding me story straight into my face.

Did they even release substantial Singleplayer DLC that expanded Sheppards adventures throughout the universe?

Picked up the Borderlands Pre-Sequel + DLC when it was on sale recently. So they have bonus content if it recognizes saves for BL and/or BL2. I played the first two games on the console, this is my first BL game I've bought on PC. So is there no way to claim the extra content then? I would think logging into my existing SHIFT account would cover that, but apparently not.
i feel it's a lot less obfuscated at least
i think they did, but my shep was forever ruined after that game (to be precise at the last me2 dlc)

Fuck, may just be me, but the difficulty for Valdis Story ramps up quick! O_O

yea but i guess it was a lot worse in me3 cos of how bad the actual ending was
iirc, they also did this for AREA 51 of all things and a couple other Midway games.
Unrelated: Microsoft released the source code for MechCommander and MechCommander 2 a while ago. MechWarrior 4 too iirc.

Serious Sam is a wicked gahbidge series for chowdaheads.
It's definitely neat and has some cool effects that mess with the player's perception that I wish more videogames attempted.
However, it can start to feel tedious after a while and the game lacks that little something extra required to motivate you forward.
A game in called Damn Virgins just showed up in my discovery queue. I have no words.
yeah im on that latter boat. surprised its not a more popular opinion and everyone seems to really love the game
I thought it was really interesting and smart at places but lack of motivation to move forward is a good way to put it
I still finished it but by the end I was kinda eh on it

Just finished my first playthrough of MGS: ground zeroes main op.
Decided to go full stealth and use m/kb for my first playthough and it went brilliantly, though some things could be fixed in regards to key assignments and such.
Like interrogations being really finicky as I had to hold in a good amount of different keys at the same time, also no shortcut right to map (Would have liked M for map and like tab to default to menu), moving in cover being really annoying because of camera movement made me automatically get popped out of it and so forth, small things I hope they fix for MGSV release.
Really looking forward to phantom pain and I have no idea how I will make it those 15 days between concole and PC release.

You should play with a controller, unless you're one of those gamers that HAS to play everything on PC with the KB&M even if it lessens the experience.
Trying both, the main op is so short so will definetly play through it multiple times with controller (or m/kb if I feel like it works better for me after I've tried both).

how straightforward is it? i mean, how does texture mods for fallout 3 work, and doesnt that make you overleved in new vegas? or it resets when you get there?

the fuck is wrong with you.
also of course it might seem "logical" when you had their poorly attempted retcon DLC available to you. That's like going back and replaying the Halo games and wondering why people hated the H2 ending.

Get on my level (Hot tip: click the screenshot.)
(It can actually stretch far enough to break the illusion. Look at the cut off wall of water rushing towards you!)
But seriously, the game is gorgeous and playing it on a real 21:9 monitor sounds sublime. Here are some old screenshots I have of it at super wide aspect ratios, cropped a bit.
