motherfucker i missed that

 

[Chariot]

I so trust those two, even if I not always agree with them. So far they were very reliable in giving their honest opinion. They weren't shy of smacking games for being shit. Like Joe did with Rome: Total War 2 or Totalbuscuit informing people about the sorry state of DR3 and Fable: Anniversary.
If they like something they tell us that they like it and are maybe a bit biased

And I know that Rome got very good reviews from the games journalists.

 

[tmarg]

Games journalism, mhmyes?
Tha's why I trust YouTube personalities like AngryJoe and Totalbuscuit more than gaming sites. I know they're not on the payroll and give their honest impressions.

You're kidding right? Polaris channels take money to promote games all the time, including TB and Angry Joe.

 

[AHA-Lambda]

Hah! I managed to get Steam support to refund my Evil Within pre order and my account still has the Season Pass attributed to it! ^_^

Wasn't one of the problems with Rome's reviews that a lot of the major issues only became self evident after thirty, forty hours of playtime?

IIRC, the biggest problem was that the AI was horribly broken, which should have been quickly apparent.

 

[Easton Dark]

So when Steam takes 5 years to load the game icons, which part of it is being slow, because that's happening more and more often.

 

[prudislav]

AFAIK It's not a story mode, It's just 3 side stories that expand on some events. Which is kinda strange because, judging by the cover, the game has characters that are beyond story-wise where uns3 ended. I don't have the game, so this is speculation.

well problem might lie exatly on uns3 ends beacause uns3 end hugely violated from actual manga story. So they dont have much where to go (they cant follow manga story and they messed up some continuity bits to introduce new characters) . So tournament thing ands some spinnofs are way to go for non-numbered lastgen game.

BTW: kinda surpriesed anyone even bought it for story - but i guess peaople can't even read store page these days

I don't think "paid to do a piece on a game/give it coverage" = "paid to give a game positive coverage"

Unless you're IGN or Famitsu.

Well there's an implication that if you don't review favorably you won't get paid next time.

Well, the companies certainly aren't paying for negative coverage.

[MarcoZombieCannon]

Wasn't there some blowup with TB giving negative coverage to something he was paid to cover earlier in the year?

And also the old IGN standby of glowing previews and then an average review. But that seems to be less common these days.

Even better is paying $50 CAD for $50 USD by purchasing the Steam cards at EB. I'm not sure if they still do that, though.

i was all day out doing girly stuff to my hair so couldn't proper reply to this

I'll see you outside.

gladly >:3

...if you think ME3 is a good game, you probably should go wait outside.

Spoiler

and I loved the series[/series]

Spoiler

i loved the series too, i wasn't a fan of the direction of me2 but i could accept it but me3 was just terrible on all fronts.

it all started on the bridging dlc from me2, that one was bullshit too

I honestly don't remember anything about the game except:
-The ending (where I just went "Huh. That sucked")
-Shooting guys

I can't remember a single story mission right now.

the fact that you can't remember is pretty telling of how traumatic the experience must've been!

i thought two things were good about that game:
- mordin/wrex character arcs conclusion
-

Spoiler

the part where you die in keith david's arms up until you revive

everything else was pretty darned awful, with limited conversation choices, the whole war effort amounting to shit, the preorder exclusive team member that's kind of a big deal, cerberus doing another 180 and now suddenly being super evil again, cartoon robin bad guy, steroid mc steroid, the minute 2 deus ex machina death machine thingie, being forced to endure kaidan/ashley again after they were thankfully erased from the plot in me2, jack's hideous makeover, the bizarre sidequest overhearing system, the fact that all sidequests were obviously repurposed multiplayer maps, and well, obviously, the ending

it's a terrible game that's overshadowed by how mindnumblingly insulting the ending is. i'd argue that it's much worse than dragon age 2 cos mass effect 3 ruined shepard for me. i hear the dlc is pretty good and might fix a lot, i would like to try it some day but, like, shep's dead to me now. she's a hollow husk of herself and i'll never look at her the same way T_T

Too right. The ending of Mass Effect 3 overshadows a lot of weaker segments in the rest of the game. Of course, Bioware managed to mess up the series in the opening hour of Mass Effect 2 before that.

yeah, but at least me2 was a well made mess

me3 looks like they ran out of budget and tried to get away with it

i'd say multiplayer ruined it but you really can't blame budget for a script as stupid as me3's

[AsfaeksBR]

It's probably the same one in the Castle.
But I think it will be the same in the final game, because iirc it's the chapter 9 on the game
