Mass Effect: Andromeda Information

Taken directly from Reddit. Shut the fuck up.

The Nomad is not driveable on every planet. Some are only small portions on foot.

Why would I be still interested in a Bioware game in this day and age? Seriously whats the incentive here?

oh hey nothing good in here.

Only if asari are cute teen archaeology graduates, I will consider buying it. The lead asari looks are fucked up. Asari should be sexy not ugly sjws. They should make you go bananas for them (even if you're girl). No cute asari, no game.

its like they want us to have a salt party before they release it

Why do they need 3 offices making a game?

one ending each

it's the ubisoft way where each group works on part of the game and then somebody glues it together at the last minute.
like watch_dogs. watch dogs ends four fucking times, apparently each team wrote a climatic story mission and they just said 'fuck it' and used all of them.

Nice dubs thread OP

Why do people even care?

...

He went to repair Andromeda's water purifier.

Mandatory kys fam

If cisquinsition wasn't a thing I'd say sounds good. Considering how it is I honestly don't give a shit

No you fuck, he obviusly left to look for a new water chip!

This.

...

Check these

Damn

WHERES THE DUBS BATEMAN

YOU SAID THERE'D BE DUBS

...

HEY PAUL

Check em

...

Checked

You wouldn't hit a man carrying memes, would you?

Out of all the things you've just told me, this bothers me the most, for some reason…

So in far-future space where interstellar travel is possible, presumably important roles are just inherited?
Why fucking bother then?

Whybother replying and bumping a Reddit thread?

Reported.

You forgot to check em

Because they fired a lot of people, so all togheter they make a team now.

Go directly back.

underrated comment
now check my dubs

There's the door:

The Paragon/Renegade system was one of the either worst or useless parts of the series, especially 2.

at least they recognize the downhill slide

TRASH
FUCK OFF BIOWARE ADVENT RISING PLAYED LEAGUES BETTER THAN GAY SPACE SEX SIMULATOR 2007.

Aw shit.

HOLY SHIT THEY'RE EVERYWHERE

First thing I thought too. Inquisition was fucking boring. Had denuvo too.

...

...

Reddit is like that stupid faggy friend that everyone mooches off and never stands up for himself but if he did he would get put in his place and so he's surrendered to his beta role out of fear and conditioning and now enjoys the punishment and ridicule.

Lurk moar

Look what we've just found.

Just checked and 8ch itself doesn't appear in search results (for Google at least) but its Wikipedia article and several other references/links to it do, along with 8ch.pl. This site isn't hard to find.

"Annoying little brother/friend" is pretty apt, come to think of it.

Note the quotation marks around it, chromosome hoarder.

Holla Forums

That's genius.

Summerfag shouldn't you be in school?

So they removed the only good part of ME2, ie being able to kill off all of the shittiest teammates?

You went to the reddit thread, OP,
are people even excited about this? It boggles my my mind that anyone could be, after ME3. Everyone should've completely lost interest in the series.

If there's anything that this thread has taught me it's that dubs come to those who wait.

The reaction to Andromeda appears to be one of abject apathy from even the most hardcore of Biodrones. It's so far removed from all the things people liked about the original games that fans aren't interested, it's coming from Bioware's most pozzed bunghole so anybody with sense isn't interested, and given how little they've been willing to show of the game despite being so close to release, I get the impression they're trying to hide it like publishers are want to do when they know a game isn't up to snuff. I wouldn't be surprised if news arrives soon of reviews being embargoed.

….What the fuck is that?

ASS DEFECT: DIARRHEA

...

Sure some of it make it sound good. It's a shame it's gonna be cisquisition levels of shit writing, bad gameplay and horrible, forgettable characters

...

They should have just left it at ME3. That damaged the series irreparably to the point that Andromeda is taking place in a completely new galaxy so any fuck up associated with ME3 is absent.

A primordial serpent from Dark SOuls.

Alright. I'll indulge you for a moment. The endings were actually dramatically different ("let us all become synthetic/organic hybrids!" "let us control all the reapers!" "GENOCIDE THE SYNTHS"). Even in the very distant future it is going to have ramifications. Is there a canon ending or is bioshit making up some lazy excuse to continue their abortion of a game?

It looks like something out of my fever dreams.

This is why this game isnt going to sell well
The only Combat orientated changes I wanted from ME3 was the faster combat and Customization of guns and armour

The generation ships left the galaxy before the ending happened, so the endings don't affect anything.

So which one is it? Also from what it sounds it'll literally be the same exact fucking game as 2/3 but with the not-mako instead, big fucking whoop. It'll also be even further pozzed if such a thing is possible.

...

...

But will it have non-binary gender pronouns like xir, schway and kike?

you have to go back

I fart in biowares general direction

Well at least they did one thing right.

We all know the game is going to be another giant disappointment. But retarded casuals are going to buy it willingly. I hope Bioware goes bankrupt after this game. After fucking giving them another chance with Inquisition after Mass Effect 3 and the shitty MMORPG, they deserve every terrible fate.

And if any of you subhuman filth actually enjoyed Inquisition or bought a recent EA product, you are the problem with this fucking industry right now.

Dubs predicts the game is a steaming pile of shit and that the Kett end up being an ancient evil who have reawoken like typical Bioware storylines.

Trips dictates OP fucks off back to Reddit and is banned from this website permanently.

If you could dress up your main character into an extremely tight fitting suit or a bikini, how many people do you think would buy it?

im gonna fuck you in the ass

gone, but replaced with what? I mean ME used to be RPG of some kind morality system would be nice

whatever

sounds bad, nothing good comes from Canada

she's so strong and independent, unlike all real women

why ugly Dr? why not lewd dancer?

segregation is a good starting point, and race mixing makes everything go wrong

gay-homosexual faggot

we all Syrian Nomads now

I'm sure it is

probably unbalaced and broken system, because there are too many combinations

snowflake Jesus protagonist again

eeeeevil twin

lemme guess; they make you to play as the other twin, because it teaches you gender equality?

muh equality can't be killed

muh issues

The way Reddit functions is pretty abhorrent, yeah. Plus upvotes/downvotes directly feed into the problem of originality, memelords float stupid shit to the top and make sure less dank (read: stale) material sinks to the bottom.

The actual users really aren't too far from people you'd see here though, going by the activity bump back when Hotwheels was actively inviting people from Reddit. Some time in I think it was '15 there was that Reddit influx and the only real difference on Holla Forums was a marked decrease in the constant whining and wailing about Reddit by saging shitposters (either because they were aghast at the destruction of the board that only existed in their heads or simply because they were drowned out by the high activity I'm not sure) and a few awkward posts as new users acclimatized which ironed themselves out in about a week.

A lot, because people are degenerates at heart as much as they deny it. I won't buy it though. I swore an oath never to buy another Bioware or EA game ever again.

Though I know perfectly well, someone who is reading this thread will buy this piece of shit game. He'll either die inside after playing it or blindingly convince himself that anyone shitting on this game was wrong. And his money will go on to support some lazy-assed leftist staff member who never put any effort into this product.

Would depend if you can do it with the male character.

I can't be bothered to even pirate contemporary Bioware games. They are terrible. Having roughly 150 hours between ME1 & ME2, I haven't even touched ME3. I haven't played a Dragon Age since Origins. Its not even about the social justice and gender nonsense crowbarred in. Quite frankly the writing is terrible, but even worse, the gameplay is fucking abysmal. Its to the point now that I don't even care to read a plot synopsis of what I missed by not playing the game. Its all ass terrible.

youre new waifu

This

Whoever came up with this character should chew some cyanide

i heard apple seeds have a small amount of cyanide in them

Killing someone by way of apple seeds would sooner do them in from simple indigestion than it would through cyanide poisoning.

normalfags will find the design attractive. Not beause they like the look, but because they're told that it's attractive

neofags already drooling over it

Check these before you go

Will there be gay alien romances this time around?

Also, how can you sell the writing to me, Bioware? Your writing has been going to shit more and more with each game.

what if shes beautiful on the inside?

She is already confirmed "quirky" so no

they will bring white supremacy with their writing

Nah, even tumblr is prettyfying her already. Remember that annoying lesbian elf in Cisquisition? Even the fucking Biodrones hated her.


Sorry, but nah, bruh. Would be an interesting take, but the soap-boxing or lack of doesn't affect the quality of the writing significantly. Also, national socialism is just communism with couple exclusions, so the soapboxing wouldn't change much at all.

If that's waifu bait….can I find the idiot that made this so I can gouge the fucker's eyes with a melon baller and donate said eyes to the blind?

Fucking hell…I thought the Asari are supposed to be the most attractive Council race. That's gotta be a mutant and we have an option to purge/delete/BURN the mutant?

...

Of course! And if you are already there please blow up the company which let this shit happened!
Thanks!

quirky is such a vague description

Are you saying it isn't prettier or are you roleplaying a merchant?

She still looks pretty manly to me.
On the other hand I never really could get into women with "hard" facial contours

Maybe, I know exactly what to expect when they use it to describe the character though.

That's just not true, though. Communism preaches dissolution of the family unit, wants to enforce atheism, believes in collectivism and abolishment of money, and is anti-nationalist. National socialism preaches the opposite of such things. The only way one could see national socialism and commmunism as similar is if he adopts and incredibly simplistic look along the lines of "Both of them aren't a democracy, so they're the same"

youre father/twin is the evil man confirmed

still cant get over the fact that they casted jersey shore people to be in 3

...

...

...

Why the fuck do you people care? This is the FIFA of fucking shooters.

I bet her asshole-traits don't even get questioned. Wonder if she's some writer's pet character.

fucking tvtropes is writing mass effect games now

why do we discuss ME going to total shit?
well, long before your balls dropped, there was a game called Mass Effect that some of us thought was a decent freshman effort and we hoped would go somewhere.

i dont even have anything snarky to say. you can only get away with that kind of personality on a character whos cute on the outside.


its like they wanted to make her a 10 year old girl, but then decided it would be better if she were a gorilla, but without any of the endearing traits of an actual ape.

sounds better

Thank you for showing me the light O mighty gatekeeper of Holla Forums

Why does it look as though her tits would sag down to her knees if she took her belt off.

wait
please stop

Even in my most drone phase I would never have said that. I dropped months into Oblivion a decade ago and even I thought that ME was a massive boring pile of shit

Not what I'm saying here, I'm saying that it's the same thing every fucking time with these faggots. You may as well start a thread for weather if you're going to make a thread about
I have no fucking idea what there is to talk about Bioware or EA anymore. Retards will keep buying and smart people will put their time elsewhere

You still talk like you're from Reddit, are the servers down or something?

...

I don't even know human women who look that bad.

I could probably find a few hundred more reasons not to pirate this game but those two will suffice.

For the record, getting rid of the bullshit morality system is a good thing. And generally, looking more towards ME1 than its sequels is good so there has to be at least one person involved who cares. But that's not enough, sadly.

Funny you accuse of Reddit while sage so you don't bump the thread with a "stop talking about things I don't like" fit mate, if that's not using the feature as a downvote I dunno what is. You're pissing in the wind and your time would be better spent crying "this again" in the general threads or Gamergate threads or any myriad other threads currently in the catalog that go over material Holla Forums already has time and time again.

...

b…but muh social construct?!

So no classes

Then what's the point?

…and I bet one of the 3 will close next year.

...

Then why would Ryder get her on the team? I bet she can't be airlocked.

thats a good point.
well, those are also threads that tend to happen. i know where youre coming from, im kind of tired of that kind of thing. but i think this thread is, at least for the time being, a little more video game focused and interesting to me than the ones started specifically to talk about sjw bs.

The perfect roleplaying opportunity was staring them in the face and they still missed it

again, you're not reading. I'm saying that there's nothing newsworthy here, so I have no idea what there is to actually talk about unless you want to virtue signal and circlejerk the entire thread.
I'm not bumping shit that isn't newsworthy, kill yourself. I'm not bumping shit because some faggot on the internet told me "loldownvote lmao"
I don't feel like it. This thread is still the equivalent of a "eceleb cringe of the week" jewtube video. should probably kill yourself 2bh

you just described the entire history of Bioware

this character sounds annoying as fuck

If Asari aren't fuckable what is the fucking point of them.

This sounds familiar.

I remember mass effect 3, or rather it's effect.


He restored my faith in his taste

I'm glad he realized his error

They have more dignity than people who play Mass Effect for anything else.

No.
No.
Yes.

If Bioware gave a fuck they'd be the biotics specialists, but squadmates are just handed powers based on balance without any further thought given to it than that

how else would they push diversity I mean eliminate social unjustice? disney is already master of this by making their movie full of asians, spics, muslims, nigs and white womyn but barely any aliens

Really? I thought it was a viable method of suicide.
Sage cos off topic

arent they perceived as more attractive because of subtle psychic influence? its clear she has the tism, so that and or her not caring what people think personality probably stifled her ability to trick you in to thinking shes sexy.

Hold the fuck up.
Wouldn't that mean the reapers would chase down these generation ships or something?
What about the fuckhuge shit explosion that either destroys all tech, brings all synths under your control or merges organics and synths?
If it doesn't reach them then these people will just never have experienced any of that happening?
So why the fuck didn't anyone like the Protheans think to try these generation ships to simply end the cycle and

Fuck it my head hurts this is too stupid

...

You're on fucking Holla Forums under Mark's rule, that's everywhere. Retards who think the board absolutely must be some anti sjw nexus, Holla Forums kiddies outing themselves, posturing and pretending despite the anonymity. I don't know what you're expecting here.


Downvote it is then, moving on.


So then it really is just a hissyfit about one stale topic in particular, alrighty then.

Yes.

Yes.

Well, yes.

Okay, sure.

I'm looking forward to seeing the asspull explanation for how the species suddenly had the technology to do intergalactic travel, even if it would take hundreds of years. FTL isn't shit when it comes to intergalactic travel, and not even the Reapers had technology on this level

Yea, I guess all those people denied functions, or the priests getting beaten to death by secret police due to not being atheists during the commie reign here were just collective halluciantion

Okay, sure.

you're just being a retard at this point

You could have just killed yourself and saved us all some time.

Sure, just reject Marx's influence on communism. Say that some sect in 16th century also collectivised stuff, so they definitely were communists and thus religion is fine under communism and so on. You're a fucking joke.

t-that wasn't t-true communism goy

Just fuck my asari up fam

Still better than PB

her name sounds like fucking peanut butter. I bet there will be some jelly-related jokes about her in the game

top kek

OK, I'll just adopt your tactics. Invading Poland is a fundamental tenet of nationalism. And if you point out how obviously wrong I am, I'll call you a retard.

Please, tell me more about how Marx has nothing to do with forming communism. Why don't you go forward and present your special snowflake version of it, like you're obviously itching to do?

why

This shit reads like it's going to be 'Saved by the Bell - The College Years' – but with action and in space.

who is PB

...

the shrektari

Ask the communists before Marx, and the anti-Marxist ones after him, you fucking illiterate.

I don't have one, since I'm not a communist.

what kind of fucking retarded name is that

Fucking prioritEAs.

check em

you don't like it?

You're going out of your way to prove you're retarded. You can't say what you think communism is, you don't provide any names, you're saying Marx somehow has nothing to do with communism, and all you say boils down to "u wrong".

no, no I do not

...

i have to imagine its some kind of abbreviation

yeah, like… pork beast?

it's going to be a refference to peanut butter jelly time. I'm calling it

Something tells me they designed this character without giving any thought to how a person like this could get into a groundbreaking scientific expedition and continuity-of-life project. This is a fucking fanfiction tier character

in the Asari society, being "quirky" is a sign of high intellect

Bioware's flagship game's poster waifu-bait character is skinny Patton Oswalt. Bravo.

That's just how Bioware writes female characters. Quirky bitches all. They've been watching too much Whedonshit

If they legitimately used this as an excuse as to why this particular asari is ugly i would be impressed *considering its coming from Bioware)

A democratically centrally planned economy in which work is undertaken voluntarily and without remuneration. You could have just asked.
Of what? Pre-Marx socialists? Robert Owen, Charles Fourier, Pierre-Joseph Proudhon (arguably). Bakunin and Kropotkin were his contemporaries, but disagreed with him by and large.
No I'm not. I'm saying that "Marx said" is not the same thing as "communism is."
Glad we cleared that up.

Sorry I forgot to sage.

...

...

benis

They'll say it's because they wanted to create an unconventionally attractive female character, like they did with Sera, which means making her a hideous goblin with a repulsive personality

Bioware was a mistake

They started making some asari deliberately ugly in ME2. Giving them short, compact faces and no eyebrows. It's retarded.

...

Behold an Asari with hair
See how it looks fuckable?
Now can anyone here imagine fucking PB the TismChild?

Also Has anyone come up with a derogatory name for hideous Asari?
Bonus Points if its a pun on the word "Nigger" or an equivalent

Hideousari? I'm not good with these things.

I could see Bioware coming up with that. Technically they're natural genderfluids as well.

Isn't that just something fans made up because of some comments from a bar of humanoid aliens?

Those comments were pretty incriminating
It would also explain why any of the races, especially the fly eaters who dont even like mating/sex that much if at all, would be fucking asari or even dating them

The fact that mind control through fungi/Biotics has been proven possible time and time again throughout the series really casts a dark light on them

Yes, it's a reference to an old Bioware forums post. Asari mentally influencing people wouldn't hold up over video communication. It's an inside joke


Asari "eyebrows" are just facial markings. In fact they originally had plain faces, and were given facial markings later in development to make them look more human and to make distinguishing between them easier

I know, but they look weird without them. Especially since they're obviously supposed to be human-looking fapbait.

But user, what if someone took a photo of an Asari and emailed it to someone who has never seen an Asari before, how would the fucking mind control transfer?

The email would get lost in a plot hole.

Literally fucking this
Theres probably shit on /furry/ or /pone/ that looks more fuckable than this Autsari
Is this why they made the quanari looks like Semetic filth? So they could try and make them, the fapbait instead?
which was clearly a fucking retarded idea

...

Theoretically seeing as Asari have been using ME technology for millennia and doing fuck all with it its possible that the asari have managed to send there Mind raping waves over the Extranet through Omnitools
Omnitools run on eezo and considering that its likely that the asari are controlling people through biotics it might be possible to send an artificial Biotic signal through Omnitool channels

The protheans have been able to send memories through metal devices and all this other psychic bullshit for thousands of years, Considering that the asari are the Protheans was favoured "child" its highly likely they gave the asari some manner of there abilities

Its also possible they acquired it from old prothean technology caches and tested it out on salarians and turians for the past millenia

all in all Mass Effect Technology is magic so they really could say what ever they wanted

The asari are somehow also capable of fusing together with any other alien species and share memories/cells and always produce asari offspring no matter what.

I think they just use their partner's genetic material (heh) to randomize the asari genes that become the child's.

Biotics is the biological version of the mechanical process of increasing or decreasing the mass of matter in a field. It has nothing to do with psychic shit. Prothean psychometry, now that's true space magic bullshit. Also, Omnitools are electrical devices, they have nothing to do with eezo


Bioware walked back on that in ME3. Asari don't get anything from their "father". They produce genetically distinct individuals or clones of themselves by randomizing their own genotype

they don't use any genetic material. Its something to do with them randomising genes based on the firing of their partners nervous system, presumably while they get some blue tail.

Now I'm wondering how asari vagina looks, its got to be very…..adjustable

Then why do they even need sex to reproduce in the first place?

They reproduce through an exotic form of pseudogamy, namely gynogenesis. In their case, it's the presence of a compatible nervous system, not a male gamete, that initiates conception


Don't go down the what-does-Tali's-sweat-taste-like road, user

turian the cutest

Why did you introduce that question into my mind.

NIce OP, you fucking faggot.

Oh I can imagine.
If male
If female

More skyrim furry shit.

Tbh it's still hard to me to accept how bioware went from DA:O (slaughtering innocents and fucking whores to cishet effect 4).

Seeing as Liara was the only good thing to come out of mass erect this makes me laugh

Why does everything have to be open world now? I have a feeling I wouldn't have been super interested in Andromeda after they left Shepard's story, just due to the fact that it felt like they were cutting and running away from criticism, but I was hoping that I might be surprised.

Why does this shit have to be open-world, ancient evil has awoken tripe again? Do they not realize that, by focusing internally and actually making characters you care about, rather than one-note wonders like this game's version of that fucking Inquisition Elf, you can have a far more personal story, one that, even if your choices don't have galaxy-spanning results, you can rest easy knowing you helped an NPC you liked, or destroyed a group you considered evil.

I'm just not happy with any of this, and doubt I'll even pirate.

What a waste of good Hitler dubs.

There is a middle ground. It's called good level design.

You're fucking retarded if you think I mean single-hallway bullshit like 13. Don't twist my words, nigger faggot.

I knew it, they just remade DAI template into scifi, there is even thing where you build forward camp just like in dai

...

What a coincidence that nearly all the sentient races are bipedal, with four limbs and a head, and mouths, eyes, and noses all in the same basic configuration as humans.
There were glimmers of real sci-fi in the original game, that made all the anthropomorphic stuff more palatable. It's a shame that they threw that away and embraced full-on space fantasy.

Slowly, I began to hate them.

Those are some generic dudes alrgiht.

If they aren't human-like how can you have gay sex with them? If there's no gay sex how can they sell the game?

Looks like some of the monsters from that Russell Crowe "Noah" film

and like something from HALO

The reason for Mass Effect large use of "humanoid/bipeds" aliens is because of a limitation of the Unreal Engine only being handle humanoids models for playable characters.

So they may be wanting to use these for multiplayer or maybe an unlockable squad member or something.

What really annoying about this is you think Bioware would try to work around this limitation, like make a quadraped/hexapod alien with an invisible biped in the centre of it perhaps? Hell, if Bethesda could make a train carriage move in Fallout 3 by making it a hat attached to a running NPC below the ground level, Bioware could certainly try better.

Actually wait I think I fucked up that. Here's a better reason.

"It's a time and budget thing coupled with the way Unreal Engine 3's character animations are implemented: each new creature type requires a different skeleton to be programmed (hence why the less-humanoid species are rarely shown moving around).''
For the playable side of characters, they all need to be able to use the same weapons and (mostly in the first game) armor.

Oh, I understand why they did it, especially in the first game. You only need one skeleton model, one set of hitboxes, and one group of animations, which covers the vast majority of races. But BioWare has tons of money now, they can afford to branch out and splurge on details. But apparently they aren't interested in that.

What? It's clear the studio is getting run down. They can only afford the bottom of the barrel employees and EA doesn't even bother with proper AAA marketing for them. Most of the work is propably done by unpaid interns.

It looks like Lena Dunham.

DAY 1 PIRATE.

Stop bunmping the game you stupid dyke.
Mass effect is dead
Bioware is dead
Liberal agenda in vydias is dead
Your job is dead.
Now GTFO.

My senses are telling me its going to be 75GB and run like shit

And 70% of the space will be uncompresed textures of Shrek asari vagina.

No one gives a shit about BioWare, we just want to laugh at their ineptitude. I can't wait for this one to tank and EA to close up BioWare and shove them into their new EA Worldwide Studios and for that filthy little Pajeet cocksucker to have a twitter meltdown.

I used to have some hope for the series before ME3 came about
Surely they're going to make more than 1 fanfiction character, likely the next one will be a trans woman and you can definitely predict theres going to be the appearance of a black female president somewhere in the game

My only hope is that not all Asari have turned into Autsari

It almost sounds like you were excited to dine on shit.

I feel sorry for you, it must be terrible to live life with the brain damage you must be suffering from.

that's literally reskinned prothean

id fuck peebee. her autism only makes my dick harder

that… doesn`t sound that bad

highly unlikely they will pull off something good but i`ll give them a chance

Is it so wrong to hope for fresh 3D asari porn?
Its not like I'm going to buy the game


How did i not see that?
Its fucking cancer
I bet they're all also single gendered like the asari except not feminine at all

whoa the nice

Lmao you just found out the plot of the trilogy. They are the remnants of the prothean refugees that escaped the reapers. They look different because of 50k years of evolution (artificial and natural) on alien planets. 6 months before release and the game is already spoiled.
Maybe we can ruin the launch like we did with FO4. "keths are protheans, save your father or nuke the galaxy". Lmao.

It is when BioWare has anything to do with it. They cannot make attractive females. I suspect it's in the employment contract of every 3D modeler they hire.

That's not a Prothean, pic related are depictions of Protheans. The ones you're talking about are ME2-era Retconians.

Fucking this. I'm all for it, except no ones going to care because the third game is so shit

XD user

ASSari in 1 and 2 weren't so bad
PB the Autsari is by far the worse they've done so far
I still hope the strippers are still going to be partially human shaped instead of PB the hagged Tit abomination

Still I know enough to not to get my hopes up

I would laugh if the Retconians.get retconned by making them out to be artificially created at the end of the reaper war and that javiks memories were fake To keep up morale and also hide what happened to the original prometheans

...

is autismo going to be the only ASSari in your party?

...

Do you actually expect BioWare to let white, heterosexual enjoy themselves playing the game by actually featuring attractive women as party members?

What memories?


Following that line of reasoning I should consider Jar-Jar Abrams leboot of SW canon as well, including discarding everything good EU had.

Nice trips satan


God i hope so
Now that they've abandoned the human form in order to make hideous alien mockeries, I fear what other abominations they could come up with in their depraved minds

I just hope they dont fuck up the quarians even more
Fucking to be turned into jews, what worse fate is there in fiction?

A shame what the did to Liara in 2 and 3. She was such a qt in 1, ditsy but not stupid, charming, best girl by far. Then they completely fucked up her character, turning her into a cold, flat, "stronk independent womyn".

The ones that Shepard got and Javiks entire existence

If Javik turns out to be an artificially created soldier whos sole -purpose in creation was to mislead the reapers i would laugh

honestly there is a bit of surprise left to squeeze out of me and im not just talking about what im planning to do while viewing provocative imagery of the autist.

Bioware needs to start again after 1 and just pretend 2 and 3 never happened

More like morbid curious. I would like to see how they're going to take this story after the massive fuck-up that was the original trilogy. I refuse to give Bioware or EA for that matter my money. But, I would happily spare the bandwidth to download a pirated copy.

That along with all the bullshit default choices you got from not having a previous save really put the diarhea on top of the shitcake.

God that would've hurt user

And thus was born my fetish for skintight suits

I thought that was the only reason Quarians and Mirandas ass even existed?

That's probably from the third game, haven't played it.


If you also consider the fact that ME1 aliens weren't, in fact, designed as merely fap bait (yes, even Asari), that it was a return to early-ish sci-fi roots, a glimmer of hope in the sea of dudebros and edgy grimdark, a plethora of opportunities - like those very same exceedingly anthropomorphic Asari being able to provide a different viewpoints on many common and recurring topics, such as the fabric of society, politics, religion etc. - and so on, and so forth, then the true extent of the damage they've inflicted on the RPG genre and even on the viability of settings and themes in other genres will become apparent. There will never be another attempt to bring back that positive outlook on space exploration and ETs that predates contemporary omnipresent cynicism and grimdark. Humanity trying to reach for the stars will never again be portrayed from an optimistic, even if somewhat naive, perspective. There will be no more eyes full of hope and thrill and curiosity lost in Terra's night skies. There will never again be a new frontier at arm's length, full of mystery and hidden wonders.

And that's a good thing. Multiculturalism and multiracialism can go fuck themselves. Star Trek inspired trash needs to die a painful death and Marxism needs to slither back into the cesspit it crawled out of.

...

Dont
Its shit
Its so fucking awful

It took me only 2 days to finish ME1, it took me almost a week to finish ME2 and it took 3 weeks for me to finish ME3 because i could barely stand playing it

I just wish they would give me the ability to skip All dialogue and cutscenes and fucking dream child fire walks

You do realize that the imperium of man IS multicultural and multiracial, right?
The only thing their worlds have in common is the faith in the emperor/lectitio divinitatus and paying taxes to terra.

iirc Mordin does mention something about attraction to Asari being 'neurochemical.'

I've always preferred to see it as Javik just being a member of one of the assimilated Prothean races, who, from centuries of warfare/extermination and being cut off from other Prothean worlds, began to view themselves as actual Protheans.
Though this admittedly doesn't hold up against the VI, the way the beacons work, and the whole Asari temple thing. Though given the way Protheans assumed other species would be able to read the beacons, it's possible that most species possessed that ability somehow.

The first question is retarded
There are other reasons to build arks other than reapers
The batarians and the terminus systems present two viable enemies capable of eliminating Council species
As well as the rachni coming back in ME1…

The second question talks about the motivations of the people to go to a different galaxy is pointless

Question 4 is legitimate, But lets be honest the council races are retarded

The Hyperion exists because they wanted a Really fast Big ship

Why am i listening to this shit?

meant for

You know what I mean you cheeky cunt.

And a burning wish to exterminate the heretic, the mutant and the xenos.

Also, back in happier times 40k was all about European and East Asian cultures, it's only in recent years, as GW reaches new heights of idiocy, that they've started pozzing the setting up with subhumans.

No, i dont.
Thats part of the imperial faith.
According to you, 40k has always been about rule of cool, wich is why polynesian shark tribes space marines are a thing.
But that hasnt happened, GW isnt pozzed you pschyzo cunt, and the setting has always implied that the IoM is compossed by pretty much all kinds of humans and even some abhumans.

The whole premise is still retarded and just a flimsy excuse for a soft reboot, because even BioWare have finally realized how much they fucked up.

The really sad part is that they could have saved themselves a lot of hate, salvaged the ME IP from becoming toxic and made a few more shekels if they had forgotten about their "artistic integrity" and made the DLC ending of ME what fans were asking for.

But nope, leave it to BioWare to remember they are "artists" at the worst possible time and stick to their moronic GAINAX ending.


Then I'm sorry, but you are a retard. Then again, I should have known you were when you spoke with fond nostalgia of Mass Effect.

Yes, and? They're a human supremacist culture, and yes, it is one culture, no matter the variations, that makes the likes of Cerebus look like hippies.

No, you cucked little fuckwit, it's because GW is run by imbeciles and their writers are the usual Marxist infiltrators.

Point at him and laugh.

We're done, slither back to /tg/ and don't show your face around here again.

In all fairness, Mass Effect in general has been fanfiction since the second game.

But i did not, poster IDs area thing, you disgusting newfag.
Not culture, religion, are you going to imply that all christian countries share the same culture?
They are not, they havent been ever since humanity started colonizing planets way before the age of strife, there isnt such a thing as human culture, but human religion yes.
But they are not, GW and 40k by extension has never been about your identity politics, it has always been a setting of rule of cool and inspired by 80s metal album covers.
Do you have any proof of it or are you just going to call me a cuck because you just love to meme?
Are you the same autist that always like to pretend that 40k is Holla Forums made a setting even though it has never been?

Then hopefully they'll come out with an actual sequel to ME1 that isn't fanfiction some day

Rule of thumb is that a franchise can only get worse as times passes, never better.

...

how about you stop showing off your ignorance of how 40k works and go read up

He will not, hes the same autist that likes to talk about bookshe hasnt read and refuses to read anything 40k related because hes convinced his headcanon is the truth.
He even went on /tg/ and samefagged a whole thread, the board admin confirmed it.

keep it short

Completely missed my point. I wasn't there, but I don't remember anyone talking about the Space Race times as being full of multiwhatever.

We gave up on that kind of hope when most of us realized just how terrifying space really is, even without anal probing greys or eldritch abominations.

Also, most viewed the Space Race as an escape from the always present fear of nuclear holocaust.

I know. I had to force myself to routinely visit their forums to discover the "leaks" and such, so that I would form an opinion well before launch. I just had to with how much disappointment ME2 brought.

Bare in mind this is an entire franchise of asspull explanations

Mass Effect 1 went to great lengths to explain how it's technology worked. From Element Zero making you able to use biotic powers to how the player's guns didn't use physical bullets but instead shaved projectiles the size of a grain of sand from a physical block. I especially liked how it explained how the player's shields would only react to very fast moving projectiles and wouldn't repel a chair.

However starting with ME2 Bioware lost interest in explaining how the technology worked. An excellent example of this is the "resurrection machine" that resurrects Shepard is literally never explained. There's no codex entry explaining how it worked. It was just said that Shepard was resurrected and that it was really expensive to do. It was such an asspull that there was a theory before ME3 released that Shepard was actually a robot with an AI built into him thinking he was Commander Shepard. Which was acknowledged in ME3 in a specific line where Shepard considers it but is never brought up again. It really wished they would've gone in this direction with ME3 since it would've tied into the whole "AI vs organics" theme the series had and would've even been a really cool springboard into a "side with the Reapers" ending. I thought that was where the series was going with ME2 because I couldn't honestly see why they wouldn't explain the resurrection machine. But they didn't.

With ME3 they invented a Deus Ex Machina to try and wish away the Reapers with "The Crucible".

The series used to be somewhat credible as a science fiction story but at this point all it is, is syfy. It's science fantasy and the writers do not care about making the game plausible.

There aren't. Batarians and terminus can't do shit, really they have barely any control over their own systems. The rachnis faced only 2, militarily weak factions back then, now with humans and turians they couldn't stand a chance, the crisis wouldn't even start.
Normally any investor would wait for a major breakthrough before trying to reach an other galaxy. 600 (?!) years are a long fucking time. If it wasn't for the reapers, they could have probably achieved a quicker way to go to an other galaxy in 300 years max.
Stop trying to defend them like a mindless fanboy, the whole setting is pure incoherent shit, and it would be so even if it wasn't part of the established franchise.

And yet we're not having this conversation on failbook, or whatever is the latest most popular alternative. Outcasts weren't part of the normalfag majority, you know. While they were competing with each other at being more socially acceptable/successful, we were reading fiction and playing games, video and tabletop. But you're an aspiring Holla Forumsemicist so we're having this conversation a little too early.

Except none of it made any real sense. Sure, it sounds plausible with a precursory glance, but Element Zero fucks with relativity, and for the projectile the size of a grain of sand to do damage it would need to travel at speeds where friction becomes a major problem.

It's how railgun projectiles need to be a certain size otherwise they're likely to simply evaporate before they reach the target.


Nigger, the Space Race stopped being a ray of hope when I realized that niggers, spics and mudshits would follow me there.

If I can't get rid of them up there I might as well stay on Earth.

...

Yes and the way most technology in sci-fi works doesn't actually make any sense. But what I liked about Mass effect was it at least tried to give fictional explanations of how it worked. Which was one big aspect of the game that separated it from other sci-fi games that released at around the same time. It had a big expansive codex that tried to explain how everything worked.

Which was a trait carried on by the later games but they just stopped caring about how the technology worked and instead replaced it with magic.

Lore's different than asspulls, user. A conceit that makes a setting possible is different than springing something on the player out of nowhere.

He is correct, though. Back in ME1 they did a good job at staying consistent. ME2 brought a horde of retcons because they needed to make changes for the new target demographic.

Which only makes it more retarded. If you don't have a firm grasp of the science involved it's better to keep shit vague rather than to make an idiot out of yourself by trying to explain things. The more you explain the more rope you're giving yourself in the future for critics to hang you with. I bet someone felt really smart when they came up with an element that "eliminates" mass and though they had found a neat way to circumvent relativity.

I frankly like this approach more. Yes, it's lazy shit, but that only matters if they directly contradict the space fantasy bullshit they come up with.


ME1 was already a game made for dumb people, so I fail to see what other demographic they were after other than tumblr.

I have a bad news for you. Relativity itself is shit.

I heard a rumor going around that one of the main bad guys in Mass Effect Andromeda is a Donald Trump-like alien who is a corporate leader that want any outsider off his planet.

???

No, morality system is a bad and pointless concept. I don't need devs to tell me how good or bad my character is by giving me some numbers. I can figure out the morality of my choices by myself. Morality system with bonuses is even worst since it basically encourages you to sticking to only one way of solving problems.
Reputation system, that measures how other people see your character, is the way to go. It's about how the world reacts to your actions, not about who your character is, because I fucking know who he is, I made him.

A reputation system is only as good as the factions the game will feature. This being BioWare, I know they will fuck up as they always do. There will be a good faction and there will be a bad faction.

If we couldn't get ME1's gameplay and story quality back or better, at leas just take ME3's multiplayer and make it a standalone spinoff since the gameplay and cartoony superpowers was actually kind of fun

Fuck Mass Effect 2 though. Somehow slower than the first game, and everything was stupid or a retcon.


Unless the Council is somehow even weaker the Republic in The Phantom Menace, that's retarded or a Mass Effect 2 retcon. The first game implied that Batarians are just useless (like ME3 ended up proving) and fighting the many groups in the Terminus systems is just more trouble than it's worth, not because they are legitimately dangerous (as ME2 ended up proving)

Only 1% of the entire Milky Way Galaxy is charted in the Mass Effect series. This is due to the placement of Mass Relays and the limitations and slow speeds (only 12 light years a day on conventional FTL) of FTL travel. There should be no reason to leave the galaxy when the one you came from only has 1% of its space charted unless you were running away from something or someone like Reapers (who chill outside of the galaxy most of the time but who gives a fuck about details like that anymore). Plus the arks can travel to Andromeda in 600 years which means they must have somehow managed to make FTL drives to propel these massive ships at really obscene speeds but can't use these super speed drives to chart more of their own goddamn galaxy and travel further than 12 ly/day.

Maxed lift + throw were fun too but, apparently, they were too much for the fun police at BW.

FTL drives already exist in the ME universe, but even amazing technology like that is considered inefficient for interstellar travel. The only way they can justify going to another galaxy is if they go "lol we found a wurmhole xD". If they don't, the writers will have proven to somehow be more retarded than ME2's and ME3's.

Isnt the story just "they boarded a ship and went on a really long journey". Reminder that these people are on a childlike level

FTL drives already exist, yes. But existing FTL tech limited them to traveling a whopping 12-15 light years per day. Plus Drive Cores generate static which have to be discharged which can risk incinerating the crew if they are out in open space and have nowhere to discharge their static buildup. The FTL drives the Andromeda ships have not only apparently remove the requirement of discharging static but they go so fast they can cross 2.5 million light years in just 600 years and aren't even concerned with the possibility there would be no Mass Relays in Andromeda. With that kind of speed and no worry of shocking your crew, you could go anywhere in Milky Way in no time and probably come up with some kind of hyperspeed FTL torpedo to fight Reapers with

...

Lol liek why r u evan try too aply sciense to vidya gaems, r u dum?
No, seriously, are you actually hoping for modern day writers fro sci-fi stories in video games to remain consistent within that one story, let alone prevent contradictions with whatever's left of the setting?

I'm just surprised they forgot the one basic principle that drove the whole series (the whole "YOU NEED MASS RELAYS TO GO ANYWHERE OR DO ANYTHING YOU DUMB FUCKER") is not only completely forgotten about, and not only was it handwaved away with SuperFTL, but that it was handwaved away with SuperFTL in a story that starts BEFORE Mass Effect 3. In the first game and the third game, they mentioned that Reapers disabled access to the Mass Relays and that's what doomed most people. If they had SuperFTL before Mass Effect 3, they could easily get around all that and just ram Reapers with things going at SuperFTL speed. Like holy shit, you can't fuck up any more than that

No-no-no, it's just handwaved, not forgotten. Give them enough money for a fifth "instalment in the franchise" and they'll make an even more asinine explanation for why mass relays are still in. Somehow.

The game is nowhere near release yet and im already laughing my ass off

...

Not defending anyone faggot, the questions are inane and pointless, there are far stupider things that can be asked, Mass effect has turned into such a shithole and what they're concerned about is going to another galaxy


Considering how fucking retarded the salarian government was towards Krogan, I am surprised they didnt consider making an ark centuries ago
The council races are paranoid and retarded

Wait a second, does he really have holes on his ass?

Maybe he breeds like one of those abominable toads do
You know., the ones that hatch out of the mothers back
Except in this case his asshole
