If you want an appliance to love you you'll have to go deep into the closet because that's where they all live. But if you want a really good one you'll have to learn a foreign language.


If you've been been modified, it's an illusion and you're in between.

ME3 multiplayer was awesome. If those are the people in charge of this, I have some hope.

The people in charge of ME3 multiplayer were in charge of Andromeda. We all know how that turned out.

Bioware is firmly in the wait for proper reviews after release category and will have to pull off some amazing shit for me to consider a day 1 purchase ever again. I expect them to be fully absorbed in to EA and the studio put in the heap with Westwood, Bullfrog and the others before that happens.

What pisses me off about this game is it could easily have been the kind of effort that went into a new Mass Effect title. Instead you got that garbage and now we get another "new" IP. That said, looked pretty cool. Can't wait to see a review or play a demo, because I sure as shit am not preordering it.

Like I said in the E3 thread, if I wanted to play Destiny or The Division, I'd be playing those games. I don't want your shitty Destiny/Fallout clone.

Bioware isn't Bioware anymore. EA is stretched thin with running multiple Star Wars projects, and this thing, well, forget it. MEA destroyed everything and anything and was the final nail in the coffin for these clowns.

That GTA5 virtual rape lady, Sam Maggs, is a writer on this project now (she was on ME:A). Just write this one off right now.

Id like to see that happen, cause right now.. Destiny 2 just looks like Destiny 1.5. Im still going to buy and play it, but Destiny 2 barely looks different.

These companies just don't fucking understand anymore. Graphics are literally irrelevant at this point. NO ONE CARES if your game is 2% prettier. Show something unique and new, the story and the characters. Get people involved in the setting and the fucking whole universe. Stop selling shit.


Durrrr da wall its nothing like da bubble in da Destiny durrrrrppppp CHOICES MATTER STORY BEGINS WOW MUCH REAL SO GREAT VERY ORIGINAL HOLY SHIT IS THAT DC COMICS TRAILER MUSIC? THRRWEEEEEEEERRRRRPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP ITS GOT BASS BRO MEANS ITS SERRRRIIOOOOU UUS LOOK ITS AN APE BUT ITS ANGRY WOW MUCH GREAT.

Well given all the gripes about the graphics of andromeda it is still relevant in that you can still do it wrong enough to turn people off so there are built in expectations about how good things need to look now. It is not something you can really make that much of a selling point but the expectations are there and if you don't deliver it gets ugly.

I think that they saw the entire game as bad, and that was just something easy for the internet to hang its hat on.

I don't see how people can claim graphics don't matter considering the PS4 Pro is a thing and traditional cross-platform powerhouse, Xbox, is getting handed it's ass and had to make the X because the Xbone games look like stir-fried shit in comparison to even the standard PS4.

As to this game, I can't lie it looks fucking awesome to me. It hits all of my geek buttons. But I'm not folding on this shit, Bioware is as good as dead to me and this thing would have to get across the board stellar reviews from people who I know think new Bioware is garbage, not just shill reviewers. Never say never and all that, but I'm pretty sure hell would freeze over before that happens.

I just KNOW this game is going to be fake 'open world'. It's going to be instanced player limited garbage with Destiny 1 style world zones. It's sad to me if that's the case. They could make this almost like an Armorered Core/Destiny hybrid and if there was a true open world (big constant zones, dynamic spawns based on player #, only instancing when zone player limit reached, zoning in between true "zones") it would be really fun. Imagine if they had like Rift's early dynamic shit with players and there were just 10-20 people fighting hordes of baddies and big bads wherever they wanted just by being there. I'm not very hopeful that will happen. It'll just be a sidegrade to Destiny with a slightly different weapon system and maybe a more customizable character system if they're smart.

With the coming of original Xbox backward compatibility perhaps we will see a nostalgia push for Jade Empire. Jade Empire and Crimson Skies were two big titles on the original Xbox that surprisingly never got updates for the 360 and on.

Am I the only one getting more Warframe vibes ? Sadly the combat looks stupidly static, but I'd give my left nut for well made Warframe ripoff that isn't a collection of abandoned ideas.
