    Mass Effect: Andromeda - Autism reaches outer space

    As someone else mentioned, when you finally get away from all the dialogue, horribly animated cut scenes and cringe worthy story bits the game actually starts to feel.... ok. I played through the storyline part until the 'buy to play more!' block and it was ok. Driving around in the !mako...

    Mass Effect: Andromeda - Autism reaches outer space

    So. SOme aspects of that review are true. There are a lot more 'voice options' but it feels like they don't matter. I get the opinion if I was to go back and select a different one, nothing would really change. At best, a throw away comment and then back to the main. The map, exploring...

    Mass Effect: Andromeda - Autism reaches outer space

    So, I've been playing the trial. THe game just seems, mushy. Best way to describe combat. I don't know if my graphics card can't keep up, or if there is some memory leak or my streaming or what, but the responce to my inputs was slow mushy, and it was bad. And the longer it went on, the...

    Mass Effect: Andromeda - Autism reaches outer space

    I agree. You remember games for the story. Gameplay makes it fun, but the ones that truly stand out in memory are because of the characters and story. Last of Us is perhaps the best recent example. I honestly can barely remember most the game play elements, but the characters and story are...

    Mass Effect: Andromeda - Autism reaches outer space

    At least the combat seems to look ok so far. Makes me have hope that again, the multiplayer might save the day. But the story seems tripe. I've heard it said that 'writers' are a dime a dozen and wanting to be a video game writer pretty much means you are just one of a million who can write a...

    Mass Effect: Andromeda - Autism reaches outer space

    I am wanting to like it, but man its not working. The animations seem... off. some of them. The set piece ones aren't bad, but the more dynamic ones just look off. Uncanny valley really hard. And the characers just seem.... dumb. Like, who doesn't buckle up while doing atmospheric entry in...

    Jesus fuck he is annoying. How do people have this already? Is it just complementary copies for streamers/press?

    Destiny: Rise of Iron 9.20.16

    How many people are still playing this? I always enjoyed it, and while I finished the Oryx raid on easy I've never done any of the raids in the latest expansion. Anyone still playing this shit regularly that would be interested in a +1 just for completion if nothing else?

    I would more argue, realize everything is disposable. The only things that really matter unless you have some unique, one of a kind item is your experience levels and recipes. Anything can be rebuilt without too much work, at least on the FoH server. The worst would be not having your place...

    Not me or Mita, we're farther up the river. But that is a member of my clan, the aforementioend Vepil and his friend are building in that area. We've seen you in the area a few times. We're pretty chill about not attacking if you at least make an attempt to communicate. The archers at the...

    Mita isn't on these boards. He's applied and is a friend of mine and is still waiting validation. Our bases (two we use, a few old ones we need to go det) aren't really growing in size. We've built the shell of what we wanted and then have been filling out the inside/upgrading them. Also...

    DOTA 2

    This game sometimes. Was trying to do a random quick normal match for fun before raid. Normal All Pick. I'm a level 77 account. Don't know my MMR in normal. But... there is no way it should put me with two lvl 1, first game ever people and one level 7. Wasted 30 mins of my life. 30 min in...

    Friendly PSA for people. If you build next to resources such that the area they spawn is 'claimed' by you, they won't spawn anymore. This includes exile camps etc.

    Use the direct add option in Steam. Go to your steam page, View -> Servers -> Favourites tab -> add server. Enter the IP address there and it will show in your favourites whenever it is up. Don't use the port. Just add the IP address and go 'find games on server' or whatever the option is...

    Mine plays music depending on where I am on the map. Also, my character grunts like a female, but any other female players I hear in the area around me grunt like men.

    Gruel is the primary. You make it with seeds and plant fibers in the cook fire. YOu can also use other foods apparently, but I haven't tried cause I worry about spoilage.

    I am going to have to go around and start cleaning up a bit soon. Each time I go on a long exploration trip, I end up making a place to stop, repair etc. Going to clean up a lil, but as we approach the city and look to start raiding it having a place to fall back too, repair and store items...

    So the latest patch seems to have broken some things. Harvesting resources is super fast now. Seems I am getting 3x what I used to get per harvest. And crafting is weird. Crafting at an armor station is giving me 2x what I have in queue, but also isn't letting me craft some items despite...

    Welp. Was enjoying the FoH server but then patched and forgot to check if the server had the patch yet or not. So, now locked out of the server. Anyone know any way to roll back a patch?

    Is the FOH server still up? Went looking for it last night and couldn't connect. So far only playing solo on my own computer, but really enjoying it so far. It seems they have a lot of placeholders and possibilties to continue expanding the game already there. So, so far I am enjoying it...

    Mass Effect: Andromeda - Autism reaches outer space

    Who thought releasing that video was a good idea? That is so cringe worthy that I have found my desire to play the game reduced and also now presuppose the female character in game is a cunt. Yay Bioware. Good marketing.

    Astroneer

    So I played it a little today. Its buggy and limited. An Alpha obviously. It was fun for what it was. We played it multiplayer with two other friends and had a lot of fun just fucking around, building holes. Falling through the world. Building a truck and watch it react horribly (and...

    DOTA 2

    Beast Master's hawk would also be good for scouting, but again its not nearly as good as wards you can place anywhere. My best counter I've found so far to MK is to just get Viper. Hit him once with Viper's Q and he can't escape, can't jump and he usually isn't tanky enough to stand up to a...

    DOTA 2

    At some point though, you have to. Trading hits with him in lane, you will eventually have an issue. I have not enjoyed my experiences trying to farm a lane against him at all. God forbid he has a support with him who can set up a good stun. (I saw a Shadow Shaman/Monkey King lane that was...

    DOTA 2

    Yeah. He eats a 4 second stun and if you can get him out of his tree and get on him he's screwed. But, getting the right tree is tougher than it looks. Last game I had an Ember and a Spirit Break that jumped me. I get my stun off, phase boots gets me just enough range to get 3 seconds of not...

    DOTA 2

    I still say, all his damage stuff, while bullshit can be tuned or tweaked with numbers. Make his attack stacks persist shorter. Scale his Q better etc. I think the one that is going to be the long term problem is the vision and mobility his tree top bullshit provides. AM gets a blink sure...

    DOTA 2

    If I had 3 hits on you and you were at 3/4s health or lower, I'd try and dive you. I need more practice with him to know if it works well, but in laning early stages. Just jump to the tree, jump down hit you once and Q. If I do it right I stun you and your partner and you prolly explode. If...

    Disrupter can be a lil awkward for people new to him and so I don't think a lot of people really give him a shot. For instance I played with a disrupter last night that kept glimpsing people out of this prison and ult. He would never get them placed properly or would misjudge etc. He's pretty...

    DOTA 2

    I expect so. He needs tuning definitely. Just seems to get too many positives with out the drawbacks. Better stealth than Riki honestly, without the fragility. Great mobility and damage? With lifesteal to boot? Yeah. He needs tuning. I was thinking, and I think Sniper might be a better...

    DOTA 2

    I would agree with this, but I tried it last night. In the hands of a pro maybe. But the average player its going to be tough. The jump range is huge. Longer than most people's shooting range (looked it up. Jump range is 1000 distance). Plus, the C/D is 3 seconds, starting at the moment...

    DOTA 2

    So, first experiences just a couple random games on the test server, Monkey King seems pretty fucking broke. Unless you can maybe get flying vision, he's completely invisible when he's in a tree. Only way to get him is to chop the tree down. Sentries don't seem to reveal him and he can just...

    I think we'll find its a group of people they settled down with. The reason I see Joel asking Ellie 'You really gonna go through with it?" is if you look back, the whole way through he's kinda trying to shield her in a way. That was part of what pissed people off about Joel in the first one...

    Star Wars : Rogue One

    Unintentional shitpost. And yeah, saying subtle and Star Wars was misspoken. I was more referring to movies in general, but even in Star Wars, they didn't have people staring at the camera preaching at you. Yes, it was blatantly obvious that the empire was evil far and away. It blew up...

    The parallels between Nazi Germany and the Empire have always been there, but my worry now is that they are going to forget one of the basic principles of movies. Show me, don't tell me. I just worry that they are going to move from showing me in all the various subtle ways how bad the...
