Enjoy your awkward loading screens.

You need Origin for 3, right? I hate origin. It's everything Steam should never be. It actually encourages a lot of piracy just to avoid it.

What if there’s no better word than just not saying anything?

Yes, which is the reason why sims 3 is so superior to 2.

However 4 is going to SUCK.

They already anounced it wont have children, or pools, both of those are for expansion packs.... makes you wonder what else they choped out.

[up] It spies on you, and is 100 times more bloated then steam.

Also, I kind of have this REALLY weird feeling about Mass Effect 3

Like...

I really REALLY enjoyed it

even more than 2

but...

Like...

It's even LESS of an RPG than the second one was.

The first game felt more like an RPG, since there's actual exploration (that... kinda sucked), inventory management, and a lot of situations that don't just involve shooting things in the face

not that I don't like shooting things in the face, mind

But ME 3 just feels more like a straight-up third person shooter

A good one, mind

And it's even more cramped and linear than 2 was

like... pretty much all of the shooting is in tight corridors

Shit... I remember a bit in the first Mass Effect where I was sniping these assholes from atop a cliff probably about a mile away

Thats probaly because "RPG" is not a compliment for gun play.

Only for storytelling, which never deteriorates through the series.

People use "Shooter" to deriede the action, but it is really a compliment.... only complaint I have is I would like some open areas to make my sniper rifle usefull.

There are no moments where you can talk your way out of a situation

it's all shoot first, ask later

I talked... a guy

who was evil

in the first game into killing himself as a greater good

nnnnope, none of that in 3

Yes there is in 3.

You can make TIM shoot himself, JUST like you can Serran for instance

Oh, I don't remember that bit.

Still, I really REALLY liked the action... I just wish it didn't feel so cramped and linear.

Mass Effect 1 had the biggest impact on me, just from it's aesthetic.

The sequels watered down the unique aesthetic just a tad to make it more consumer friendly.

I loved the atmospheric 80s music and the classically inspired skin-tight space-suits and the whole presentation of it.

Sequels downplayed this just a tiny bit by putting in more orchestral themes and making the body armour a bit more bulky and space-mariney.

This is one of my favourite pieces of music in the entire world, no exaggeration.

The sequels kept most of the eighties feel, which I respect them for, but ME 1 was less of a calculated hit and more of an experiment.

That's funny, I actually really liked the Noveria theme

I thought the balance of orchestra and electronica in the sequel was really cool

I love that idea

but then... 3 just kinda... neutered it and it all just felt pretty samey

One thing that bothers me for some reason, I dont know why....

Why do guns in mass effec have muzzle flash?

#293647: Jul 23rd 2014 at 9:07:29 PM

The flare is from the mass effect field generation, or rather the waste heat from said field.

[up][up]That's a good question considering that the guns in Mass Effect are essentially railguns which... do not use gunpowder of any kind and instead use element zero as a conductor to accelerate small particles at a fraction of the speed of light

uhhh...

Dunno

Probably less to do with realism and narrative consistency and more to give the guns more weight and power

[up]Or... that
