    The Big Bad Console Thread - Sway your Station with an Xboner !

    Dude, there are huge open maps in TR, where you can go anywhere and find all sorts of places that are completely missable. It's not exactly a completely open world game but it's far less linear than uncharted which is about as on the rails as you can get. And, yes, the tombs are vastly superior...

    The Big Bad Console Thread - Sway your Station with an Xboner !

    As much as I love the Uncharted series I think the TR reboot and Rise are better in terms of gameplay. Uncharted is the better story game but both combat and actual exploration are TR wins IMO. None of them are like H:ZD, though, so I don't see those comparisons at all.

    Mass Effect: Andromeda - Autism reaches outer space

    Didn't we just have two pages of people calling those of us who hate this game trolls, Taliban, and butthurt? Now it's just a difference of opinion? Interesting.

    Mass Effect: Andromeda - Autism reaches outer space

    The Mass Effect name and developer pedigree are the only reasons this game isn't scoring lower. Without those no one would give two shits about the game, reviewers would pan it, and it would quickly fade into the obscurity it deserves.

    Well between the Scorpio specs, the game pass, and this new refund policy the Xbox brand is getting pretty appealing.

    Mass Effect: Andromeda - Autism reaches outer space

    Since you haven't played it wouldn't know this but when people talk about shitty romances and terrible voice acting they aren't coming to that conclusion based on other developers or game series, they are comparing it to previous Bioware games. The voice acting isn't just bad, it's bad for a...

    Nintendo Switch (previously NX)

    When I was first looking at 4k TVs I was concerned about the quality of non-native content since 4k isn't really widespread, but anything 720p or higher looks much better than it does on my 1080p set which was one of the nicer sets available when I bought it two years ago. The tech has really...

    Mass Effect: Andromeda - Autism reaches outer space

    It's a thousand times better, and would be borderline acceptable if it weren't saddled with 3rd grade level writing and delivery. If ever there were an appropriate time to use the word 'cringe' it would be listening to that scene. Like I said before, as egregious as the animation/character...

    Nintendo Switch (previously NX)

    And if Nintendo had made 10 million Switch units you'd be able to buy one anywhere as well. That's kinda my point, selling out a supply constrained amount isn't a big deal. In fact it's absolutely par for the course. Virtually every console that's ever had limited supply has sold out at...

    Nintendo Switch (previously NX)

    I swear to God game industry analysts are some of the dumbest people on the planet. Could Nintendo's Switch Be a Bigger Hit Than the Wii? How the fuck can you predict the Switch being bigger than the Wii when it has sold almost exactly the same as the Wii U? Just for people who don't know, the...

    Persona 5

    It's odd that I really like these games because I'm pretty hardcore anti-weeb. It's just something about the SMT/Persona games I really dig. I haven't had a chance to dig into 5 yet, but I'm really hoping it is just a more refined 4 like was mentioned earlier.

    Gamefly sucks. News At 11.

    I don't know the exact details of how they aquire the games, but they are definitely retail copies. They don't just have the discs, they have the cases, inserts, and everything else that comes when you buy a game. If you decide to keep a rental they will actually ship the rest of that stuff to you.

    The Big Bad Console Thread - Sway your Station with an Xboner !

    It really depends on the game, but going from 3440x1440 on my PC to sub 720p shit on my Xbone is far more dramatic IMO. Not to mention the fact that on consoles we are talking 50'-60' or more screen sizes which makes 1080p look like ass. Aliasing is the worst and you aren't going to get 1080p...

    Gamefly sucks. News At 11.

    And about three times that on used. That's why they are pushing Switch so hard, the combination of Nintendo game pricing plus cartridges means they'll make a killing if it pops off.

    The Big Bad Console Thread - Sway your Station with an Xboner !

    Because it's fucking beautiful, that's why. It's one of things I've hated about consoles for many years, they lag so far behind the PC in fidelity that moving from one to the other is painful. Thank God for the PS4 Pro and Scorpio, hopefully this is the way consoles go for the foreseeable future.

    Gamefly sucks. News At 11.

    I use Gamefly off and on but I basically only put games that aren't released yet in my queue, with the occasional game or two I absolutely want to play. I generally get what I'm looking for, but yeah, if you have any game that you are remotely blah about on your list you are pretty much...

    Mass Effect: Andromeda - Autism reaches outer space

    That's really the lesson they need to learn. It's a never-ending battle that you can't win. These people are never happy and trying to make them happy is an exercise in futility. One of the defining characteristics of the swj crowd is how casually they will eat their own after a single...

    Mass Effect: Andromeda - Autism reaches outer space

    "Middle of the road cover shooter" and "uninspired horde mode" describe the combat in this game perfectly. Still shaking my head at people who think this shit is amazing. And this sjw is so fucking ridiculous. When ME3's ending was a cluster fuck and their entire fanbase was upset they didn't...

    Mass Effect: Andromeda - Autism reaches outer space

    So I watched the Angry review and he mentions that multiplayer is only horde mode and that ME3 multiplayer is the same way, is that true? I never played either but it's amazing to me that people speak so highly of either if that's the case.

    The Secret World

    This game has the best atmosphere and writing of any MMO on the market. If they can keep that intact and fix the shit combat and animations they'll have a near perfect game on their hands. Of course if they were capable of fixing the combat and animations you'd think they would have done so well...

    No, while there were plenty of people saying they didn't have these issues there were also people acting like all this stuff was made up.

    Because they can make statements like this and a legion of fanboys will rush to their defense and back their claim. We've seen multiple posts in this thread alone from people claiming these issues don't exist. This most certainly isn't the RROD issue but it's definitely more widespread than they...

    Mass Effect: Andromeda - Autism reaches outer space

    This is just flat out wrong. The Asari were all female race, even the Codex in the first game says as much, that used all female pronouns. The only reason they could be considered genderless is because being all female there is no concept of being male or gender neutral. This male/female/...

    Mass Effect: Andromeda - Autism reaches outer space

    Unless you only spend time at NeoGAF you're being disengenous about it it only being an issue here. And what made up shit are you talking about? There is nothing made up about the fact that the main character was intentionally made less attractive at the last minute, or the fact that all the...

    Mass Effect: Andromeda - Autism reaches outer space

    The SJW shit in the game is in your face at times, but it's far from being the worst offender. I mean if I were making a list of reasons not to buy this game it wouldn't be at the top of the list. The more I play the more I actually feel bad for the the environment artists and designers. Among...

    Mass Effect: Andromeda - Autism reaches outer space

    Should just rename this to Dumb Shit: the game. Every encounter is the same, squad of enemies lands at your location and magically knows exactly where you are. Multiple times a fight the cover system will just flat out fail. Your character controls like a fucking tank with their weapon out. You...

    Mass Effect: Andromeda - Autism reaches outer space

    It's a decent read but at the end of the day it's a bunch of industry guys making excuses for other guys in the industry. Pretty much any reason or excuse why things ended up the way did with Andromeda can be countered by the fact that there are many examples of other studios who managed these...

    She didn't get left out of the credits, she just isn't listed as what she claimed.

    Not if Bioware is to be believed. Being part of a motion capture team and being the lead facial animator are two completely different things. They are even in separate parts of the credits, complete with another person listed as "lead" facial animator and a team of facial animators with her...

    Mass Effect: Andromeda - Autism reaches outer space

    It's weird. The girl had "Lead facial animator for Mass Effect Andromeda" on her Twitter, Instagram and Facebook pages, and made multiple posts about working on the game in that capacity. She only removed these after both her and Bioware were called out about it. You'd think if she really wasn't...

    Yes, literally no music at all. ACG called it, "the most barren soundtrack in years". The animations, deservedly, got the brunt of the criticism but there really isn't a single aspect of the game that isn't lacking in some way or the other.

    Combat is good for a ME game, which means it's average at best. The story is hot garbage, unless you are a pre-teen. Either way, you have shit taste.

    Mass Effect: Andromeda - Autism reaches outer space

    This has to be the most poorly written game I seen in the past decade. Every other line is meme worthy drivel and makes low budget sci-fi channel shit seem like Shakespeare. It's not hyperbole when I say the first few hours literally sounds like a middle schoolers fan fiction.

    Mass Effect: Andromeda - Autism reaches outer space

    No reason to buy this at anything but a deep discount unless your only gaming machine is the Xbone, and even then it's questionable. If you own a PS4 it shouldn't even be on your radar until you've gone through a dozen other games on that list.

    Anything that bothers you about the Wii U version will bother you on the Switch version. If you want to play it, and you have a Wii U, there's no reason not to play it there.

    WTF! Mass Effect: Andromeda Review: Already better than Shepard | Stevivor Even if you like the game how you could possibly give it a 9.5? The guy is obviously giving this game a pass because he's gay and Bioware is now also gay. See above.
