    Mass effect Remastered - Legendary Edition - 2021

    What specifically? I'd love a discussion as I'm not above considering my opinion is wrong or incomplete. ME2 gets a bit better as you get through more actual plot points and story elements, but that also has the side effect of also making all the ancillary stuff more frustrating. So the meter...

    Mass effect Remastered - Legendary Edition - 2021

    Where did I say a single person who enjoyed "ME" is retarded, much less EvErYoNe? Lying again? Why can't you stop lying? You claim "ME" as a whole, when I've very clearly and specifically been talking about the ME2. More lies. I've only called you retarded, and I feel justified in that...

    Attacking? Sure, why not add giant weeping vagina to your being a liar. An interesting strategy, but what's it for to do with the quality of the game or merits of my perspective? We're all just sharing opinions. That's how discussions and posting on a forum about a game works. You trying to go...

    Mass effect Remastered - Legendary Edition - 2021

    Me giving an opinion that you don't like is me somehow being an authority on what others enjoy? That's ironic. I obviously haven't had only one complaint about to game. I've been shitting up the thread for days with many issues I have with ME2. Why would you make up a stupid lie like that...

    Last egg rolls I fried had some nice chicken fried steak undertones. Was good. Should do fries in that oil.

    Fucking Kefir leaves. In fact, fucking limes in general. I always forget the limes. Last time I made Pad Thai I saved the day with Worked so nicely I'm gonna start intentionally using it as a lime replacement. And gave the pad Thai good color, too.

    Massaman curry specifically is my favorite. Fusion of Indian and Thai, and uniquely with potatoes that aren't in most Thai curries. With beef (if you're doing it right). It's like a curry stew. Very good flavors, but still recognizable to American palates so is also a good introduction curry.

    Mass effect Remastered - Legendary Edition - 2021

    Saying a game isn't good is hyperbole? Didn't say worst ever. Just ultimately a very average, forgettable game with distracting design choices. It's average. It's not good. Certainly not great. Nor terrible. Just average.

    Mass effect Remastered - Legendary Edition - 2021

    Not really. Weird thing in my ME2 rabbit hole is how many people (on dumber forums granted) arguing it's the best ME game and one of the best games overall ever. I was annoyed and disappointed by all the same things I am now, in addition to there not being much improvements in Legendary. Second...

    Why we've started making a lot of our own stuff. We live in a good area for buying meat and eating Mexican, but not great beyond that. Been doing egg rolls and the more common Chinese dishes at home, beef and broccoli and sesame chicken. Did an amazing egg flower soup the other day (who knew...

    A handful of dishes/flavors are some of my favorites, but overall not so much. Been decades since I lived near a good Indian restaurant though. In the Army in Monterey CA there was a place with a buffet that included really good Tandoori chicken. We'd go in a group of 4-6 and it was like the...

    Mass effect Remastered - Legendary Edition - 2021

    Sure, I've been open about conceding that point. They did a remaster of the trilogy, then didn't fix much in 2 because they, what, thought it was perfect? Just fine enough? I always thought 1 was better for the story and writing even if the combat was at times lacking. I personally liked the...

    Mass effect Remastered - Legendary Edition - 2021

    I'm not seeing improved gameplay. Every fight there is some point I'm in cover that doesn't let me aim or shoot, and often when I aim out of cover I'm nowhere near where I was looking/targeting while in cover. ME1 wasn't stellar, but in the legendary version at least I rarely had these issues...

    Always just use these. Easy peasy, but not Japanesey. Golden curry or Japanese curry much different? And have a nice big mortar and pestle and a good enough Asian grocery with whole dried spices, but ain't nobody got time for that.

    So, everyone is herd mentality against you, but some people who agree with what you call the herd mentality aren't in the herd mentality but just have independent opinions? That doesn't strengthen your position, my dude. Nobody is pussy hurt. You're just making bad arguments to support a bad...

    Mass effect Remastered - Legendary Edition - 2021

    All those characters and side stories are why many people seem to think ME2 was the best of the series! The way I look at it, the reason the characters all have a third of the talents in ME2 is they wanted to add three times the characters. Someone had the sense to point out it would add a lot...

    Game Pass for Xbox and PC

    Been playing Mass Effect Legendary on Game Pass. Sure, had to wait a few months to replay these old games, but saved me $30-$60. I converted Live to Ultimate with a free month for every 3 month card. Cost me something like $4 a month average in the end. I spend a month every quarter clicking...

    The industry has industry wide issues. Game Pass may not be the solution to all those problems, but it certainly isn't the cause of them. It seems to me what happens is what always happens. People have their biases and no matter what is actually happening those biases are miraculously...

    Mass effect Remastered - Legendary Edition - 2021

    The Mass Effect world is full of moments of levity that were well written and felt natural for the scenes. That's one of the things that make the world an IP so beloved. The bickering in the sky-car, in the middle of chasing the attempted assassin of a main character and potential long lost...

    Sure, including that retarded sky-car chase! Unfortunately, they weren't in Mass Effect. I didn't say the bickering in Rush Hour sucked. Just like I be didn't say the entire Shadow Broker DLC sucked. Do everyone got long Covid now? No love for pod racing, then? There's that, at least.

    Mass effect Remastered - Legendary Edition - 2021

    I'm confused... Where did I address the entire DLC at all? The sky car chase was pointless and lame. The dialog was cringe. If it wasn't you'd perhaps explain why you disagree instead of some non-sequitor about the entire DLC. I don't like the NFL catch rules changes. Yah but the NFL is the...

    The sky-car chase with Liara and the savior of the galaxy Shepard bickering like it's a Rush Hour movie. Yikes. Some sad Star Wars pod racer levels of cringe. Maybe these games from what I considered the golden age of gaming weren't actually better. Because wow does ME2 have some really lame...

    Nothing wrong with it if you have the space. Might have to let it sit overnight to dry the skin some though? Bucket of turkey in the garage is way more normal and probably a better idea than an exposed turkey.

    I though they already did and put them all into one game. Started that collection and it looked pretty good, but never played any before so no point of comparison. Fable remasters would be cool. So many old games I missed that have enjoyable remasters to finally play them. I like the trend.

    David Simon definitely a progressive that went retarded with Trump derangement syndrome, but The Wire wasn't woke. There is a lot of material in there woke-tards could point to, but that's the whole point of woke: making everything a progressive cause and exploiting it and warping it to fit...

    Most games in general have been dogshit whether related to MS or not since the advent of Game Pass. So, not exactly a solid point.

    Can't really do anything using the Xbox app without it being a pain in the ass. But it seems MS/Xbox are trying to play nice with modding more these days.

    To clarify, response to Ut, didn't quite (edit again: quote! Ducking mobile) for some reason. I think it's more the publishers fault GOTY/complete style editions or DLCs are not available on Game Pass. Maybe a distinction without a difference, but I doubt MS's goal is to sell DLCs or prop up...

    I never played them. Watched some friends play at times, but didn't have a console and whatever I was doing on PC was all consuming so missed a lot of games of that era. Have seen them cheap on Xbox, but not sure how they hold up now (not the graphics, obviously hah). Maybe waiting for a...

    No doubt. I salute your patience, or courage, or something. I'm more interested in story over challenge unless a game is specifically a strategy style game (Banner Saga is a kick in the teeth on hard but still fun). Only reason I did insanity on ME1 was it was just broken easy on any other...
