    Mass Effect: Andromeda - Autism reaches outer space

    True fun coop, which is lacking in the industry lately.

    The Tiggle's sobstory and begging thread.

    Or a new funnel. Sorry Tig, its hard to feel pity for your KKK ass, even as a white guy.

    Mass Effect: Andromeda - Autism reaches outer space

    Yeah that's great until you know that the bugged quests are part of a chain that cannot be progressed so you are screwed on that world.

    Mass Effect: Andromeda - Autism reaches outer space

    Yeah my worst bug experience has been the scripted Architect fight on Eos part 2. After the second camp, it just circles in the air and does not move to the final fight area. It did this three times (imagine my joy doing that fight on Insane as a biotic) and I just gave up and moved on. That...

    28mm Miniature Tabletop Wargaming Thread

    We are in for Lone Wolf, so maybe the wife and I will see you there? Actually mostly done with Trident, but will likely wait on water effects until after Texas.

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    Being a german midwesterner, shunning family comes easily. It freaks my wife out though. My mom and I did not speak a word and I did not visit or call for nearly three years over an argument, which blew my wife's mind. To me, it was like: I have nothing more to say and holidays are a lot...

    28mm Miniature Tabletop Wargaming Thread

    The simple activation order mechanic instead of I Go You Go alone puts it vastly ahead of a lot of the genre.

    Dark Souls 3

    That part is optional and arguable the worst designed crap ever to exist in a Souls Game (outside of maybe Blight Town on a PC). I did it once and never attempted it on another playthrough. All of the other stuff in the DLCs was extremely fun and awesome. The temple with the water shit at...

    Mass Effect: Andromeda - Autism reaches outer space

    Yeah that is basically the first boss fight in the game and its hilariously poorly tuned. The dude spams AE shield strip and cooldown delay, is invincible until you kill his dodgy little pet thing (that he respawns less than a minute after you kill it, has a ridiculous health bar, and has sync...

    Mass Effect: Andromeda - Autism reaches outer space

    Yeah this. You might as well play a tech guy at that point, since its the same sort of mechanics without your powers being made mostly useless by shields. The cooldowns on even a maxed biotic are so attrocious for anything other than charge that you are nearly always better off firing a gun to...

    Mass Effect: Andromeda - Autism reaches outer space

    Are you playing on Insanity? On Insanity, the Kett like to warp in buddies to your rear a lot. Also, the remnants just fly wherever and use their snuffatron beams on you.

    Mass Effect: Andromeda - Autism reaches outer space

    W3 also had a much shorter development cycle and did not have the massive side help Bioware could throw at it from other studios. Basically, hiring by ideology instead of merit leads to shit like this. Next time, hire more asians and honkeys.

    Mass Effect: Andromeda - Autism reaches outer space

    If you are playing the Charge / Mele game, you kind of have to stick with the VG profile, anyhow. The mele based shield regeneration is too critical to give up for the higher Biotic Adept bonuses. In fact, even if I were simply playing pure biotic ranged, I would likely stick with the VG...

    Mass Effect: Andromeda - Autism reaches outer space

    The best way to get combos from team mates is to never buy more than a single power and make sure it combos. The krogan guy loves to spam the shit out of incinerate, which makes combo-ing with him easy (assuming you are going Vanguard). Also, the jump jet is simply not useful at all on...

    Mass Effect: Andromeda - Autism reaches outer space

    Yeah its the SJW damage was mostly in the crony hires. Other projects delve in this shit, but they make damn sure the talent is there to make a good game. As for Wolff not being the problem, look at this clip and judge for yourself what her talent level is like.
  16. Phazael

    Mass Effect: Andromeda - Autism reaches outer space

    Yeah seems to reinfoce my theory that Andromeda was secretly a mission to get all of the SJWs, cucks, and trannies to leave the galaxy. The scene seems to be based on this one:

    Mass Effect: Andromeda - Autism reaches outer space

    Playing it out of sheer spite (after making it through Numeneria I can stomach anything), but yeah the game's cutscenes are just about all like that level of bad, both in terms of animation, writing, and acting.
  18. Phazael

    Mass Effect: Andromeda - Autism reaches outer space

    The sad part is that the lisping quad ball gargling Krogan faggot leader was not distracting enough to stop you from noticing that awesome animated fight choreography.
  19. Phazael

    Mass Effect: Andromeda - Autism reaches outer space

    I blame her. Watch some interviews with her and one of the devs on Youtube. You don't give your main character to a complete newb to voice, especially when the predecessor was someone like Hale. It is especially jarring early because of all the scenes with Clancy Brown (who is always top...

    Mass Effect: Andromeda - Autism reaches outer space

    @Vorph I don't think the combat is bad, but the environments (fucked up walk meshes all over the place), button layout, and cover inconsistencies put it below ME3. The Biotic thing? I am pretty much playing straight up Vanguard on Insanity, so the enemy shield shit does not hurt me as much...

    Mass Effect: Andromeda - Autism reaches outer space

    Horizons has some SJW elements, but arguably they are well thought out and a backdrop part of the story, similar to how Last of Us (made by some really hard core SJWs) did. It never robbed from the story and most importantly you were never beat over the head with it.

    Mass Effect: Andromeda - Autism reaches outer space

    Aren't you the dude who wanted to bang a tranny? You might have answered your own question there. Not judging, just saying. But as I said earlier, if I was not exposed to this shit constantly, both by working at a SoCal college and from following GG closely, it would probably not be super...

    Mass Effect: Andromeda - Autism reaches outer space

    Yeah, all other complaints aside, if you play on Insanity, the Jet Pack might as well not exist since you actively get punished for existing outside of cover at that difficulty.

    Mass Effect: Andromeda - Autism reaches outer space

    I will assume you have never worked for a dev house (I have not personally, but I have several friends who do), but during crunch time as well as early design meetings, people do all sorts of tasks and get to put their little stamp on things. As in, even managers are acting as code monkeys and...

    Mass Effect: Andromeda - Autism reaches outer space

    Start a new female character and use template 3 to build off of. Make her look attractive (its possible). Then, look at what the in game engine does to the face shape and textures in game. Hell, compare the early version of Ryder to the derpy one they changed to at the last minute....

    Mass Effect: Andromeda - Autism reaches outer space

    What exactly do you think this guy did on the game, given how much he was publicly masturbating over his agenda in relation to Andromeda?
  27. Phazael

    Mass Effect: Andromeda - Autism reaches outer space

    Ordinarily, I would agree. But this SJW shit is a religion. When you let moral crusaders invade entertainment mediums with their sub par talent, you end up with dogshit like the Comics Code era of comic books or the entire TV lineup of the 90s. And believe me this is not blockading it. There...

    Mass Effect: Andromeda - Autism reaches outer space

    Bioware set out to make a shitty game. Look at the dev list for this thing. A lead animator who's only other career is "cosplay", the main female protagonist voice actress is a SJW advocate who's only real experience is as a sound engineer grunt at Sony. The writing was done by people like...

    Mass Effect: Andromeda - Autism reaches outer space

    This. Complacency opens the door to more blue hair tranny invasion into the medium. Or worse, more half ass shovelware from B Team idiots sold as AAA games. Seriously, the more I play the more amazed at the low quality of voice acting there is.

    Mass Effect: Andromeda - Autism reaches outer space

    Myself: I blow around 200 a month on games. My recent purchases have been expanded lately to see finished Unity products out of a general curiosity since my wife and I are working on a Unity game as a hobby. Recent purchases include: Talsiman- I play this to kill time or to pass out to at...

    To be fair, everyone does.

    Mass Effect: Andromeda - Autism reaches outer space

    Looking at the voice talent list, most of them have barely done anything in the past. The female protagonist voice actress's main accomplishments seem to be spelling Wolf with two Fs (lol) and working as a sound engineer on EQ games. Only two bigger names on the entire list and none appear to...

    Mass Effect: Andromeda - Autism reaches outer space

    It won't let you manually save if you are in a story mission and gives zero feedback for when it autosaves as a checkpoint during said missions. Worse still, there is a lot of inconsistency of how far the checkpoints are spaced and the entire first 3-5 hours of game play is one long story...

    Mass Effect: Andromeda - Autism reaches outer space

    For what its worth, the game runs with no frame drops on my PS4 pro with the added effects enabled. I don't think its a performance issue, I think they had janky facial animation captures that got made worse when they uggoed shit up at the last minute, for whatever reason that was done. The...

    Mass Effect: Andromeda - Autism reaches outer space

    So, played the final PS4 version last night (had been watching a friend play the early XBone one prior) and reflected on the opening part of the game. The good: Combat- What is there is balanced and polished. The jump pack adds a few extra wrinkles to it, though hovering is a death sentence on...

    Mass Effect: Andromeda - Autism reaches outer space

    Thats pretty terrible for a game with the full weight of EA Marketting and the progressive friendly Bioware culture behind it.

    Mass Effect: Andromeda - Autism reaches outer space

    Yeah the deadname shit always cracked me up. I've known 8 trannies (five post chop) in my life and aside from the one or two that are really just cross dressing gays, they go insane if you openly talk about their pre trans life at all, like they are in federal witness protection program, are a...
