I'm really enjoying the game so far, but yeah the open world isn't really open, it feels really linear for some reason, but meh no biggie...

Yeah Reckoning was a pretty big dissapointment.
It was still a fun game but it didin't even come close to the game it was supposed to be.
The "open world" is a joke, as is the story imo.
The only thing I really enjoyed was the combat system, it's really cool. (Though the bosses are easy as hell when you simply save up your fate energy and kick his/her/it's ass in Reckoning Mode.)

Guess I'm going to pass on it then. Save my money for some other games.
or just wait till its very cheap
 
dungeons of dredmor. If only I stopped being risky and stupid I would last so much longer. That said, this rogue game is goddamn fun, as long as you get to level 2/3 before dying. Being a warrior dual weilding sneak ridiculously awesome.

So for the last two hours I've been helping my brother on Minecraft, we've basically been on creative mode doing lots of random things, so far the best thing we've got is a really long ass rollercoaster sort of thing (Without loops since y'know... you can't do that), and there's lots of redstone branching off it that leads to tons of TNT, so as you're riding it, if you press F5 to look behind you, there's a huge ass explosion chasing you, it's really cool but it took SO long, and then there's like lava all over the place and it just looks so great as you're zooming past everything really fast in this minecart... 'tis very cool.

Mass Effect 3,

After being unable to play for 2 weeks I'm back at it. Just finished Rannoch and
God damit sacrificing Legion for both the geth and quarians wasn't worth it at all. My 3 favourite characters from ME2 are dead now :( RIP Thane, Mordin and Legion.

thank you

my shep in me1&2 was a ballbusting badass who didn't take shit from anyone and looked out for her buds

the one in me3 was NOT my shep :mad:

it wouldn't have been realistic for it to be EASY to manage to keep every person alive but you know, it's a game. if i cared enough to jump through a million hoops to save a person, i should've been able to. or atleast, for the love of toast, stop with the choices that either kills one awesome character or the other. i mean why.
whyyyyyyyyy
it's like ... (this is Bethesda, but) in Fallout 3, at the end, where there's the numbers you punch in the tank with the deadly radiation. in the original version (pre-expansions) you could turn to fawkes (who could withstand all radiation just fine) and be like "hey help a nigga out" and he said "no this is YOUR MISSION BECAUSE THE DEVELOPERS WANT YOU TO DIE go die". but then i was like "but you can just punch the numbers and then we all live :D?" but he refuses and it was like WHAT WHY WHY DO I NEED TO DIE IT MAKES NO SENSE YOU ARE A STUPID WHY DID THE WRITERS NOT PLAN FOR THIS VERY OBVIOUS CIRCUMSTANCE
and whyyyyyyyyy can't they join my fucking party
uhwpfw;ofmk
i wish i weren't still so pissed about that, it's dumb to be b/c it's a game blah blah, but ME1 still feels to me like it's one among the showcase of grand masterpieces in gaming history and ... ughghgh when EA usurped BioWare, they took a shit in my heart

Why must you people keep reminding me of the dissappointment that was ME3.. :(
I just want to forget it ever happened and pretend it ended with ME2..

- On topic:

Playing massive amounts of Minecraft atm, working on my flying city.

Just finished it (green ending) and.. Why is everybody shitting on the ending? Honestly I can't see what's wrong with it (unless the blue or red endings are total junk). Well except for some minor complaints as wtf the Normandy was doing but that's about it what didn't "really" make sense and could be considered a plothole..

I've played games with far worse endings. And except for the ending the story in ME3 wasn't that bad, sure it's not the best but I don't think it was bad at all.

I'm just fucking pissed my 3 favourite characters from ME2 had to die AND EVERYBODY ELSE LIVES. Fuck you Bioware why didn't you kill of Miranda, Jacob or someone else, why did it have to be Thane, Legion and Mordin. I swear my Sheppard could have saved them..

To make matters even worse, why is the coolest character from the game (aka the only one who says something interesting) a DLC character (that OBVIOUSLY was just cut out from the final product).

But except for that I have nothing to complain.

i think the biggest complaint about the ending is that all the endings are pretty much the same thing

yes, that is the biggest complaint.

i felt the same way when i finished at first, that the ending wasn't SO bad. i sat back, went "well ... that was disappointing and sort of dumb. but whatever the game was fun."

it was not until i watched youtube vids of all endings, and then also got the realization that the only way you can see a special 30-second bonus clip designed for someone who does everything is if you play a bunch of multiplayer (note: i play games like ME because i do not touch multiplayer games with a 10-foot pole).

the day 1 DLC was actually SUPPOSED to be in-game, according to a dev blog i read. it was supposed to all along. but when EA Marketing's deadline dropped for shipping the game, they were not done enough, but the part with the prothean was the least finished. so they wrapped up the game without the prothean in it, and allowed the team to work on that part while the game was being wrapped up and shipped out. the real shitty thing is not that there was day 1 DLC so much ... but that they charged money for it. charging money for a part of the game that had always been meant to have been a part of the game.
think about it, the 1st game was all about protheans ... the 2nd game's antagonist was largely comprised of "husked" protheans ... why would protheans make almost no appearance in ME3?

also:
the ending in itself was a cliched cop-out.
okay, okay, shep is meant to be a tragic character. okay, i guess. it happens. i could have accepted that. kind of lame considering the material and what shep's been through, but ok.

but.

#1: the stupid star child, ugh.
in the beginning you see the stupid kid die. he haunts your dreams. the writing, however, does NOTHING to ACTUALLY make me like the kid or feel sorry for him or care about him at all. and then, guess who talks to you at the crucible? not a hologram of a wizened species from one of the many millenia ago. a "ghost" of saren would have made some form of sense, since saren was a major antagonist in shep's life, he would have elicited some form of emotional reaction from the player, and also saren had had a lot of interaction with the reapers so he could be seen as a sort of "inside man" on it.
but no, it was a stereotypical "dream-come-to-life" sequence featuring a "kid-who-is-magically-wise-because-he-is-an-embodiment-of-your-dreams-or-something". which i guess could have also been some kind of metaphor for shep as a little boy, but then i played as a female so obviously that doesn't work for any fem players.
it was hackneyed and lame as shit and elicited ZERO emotive response.

#2: what the ... the normandy ... how? what? why did you bother when no one can enjoy your victory
how did the normandy get away. you saw your teammates get blown up, but they come out of the normandy with joker. you worked for limitless hours to make things right throughout the galaxy, and then all star systems are summarily blocked off entirely forever. joker and the normandy gang(tm) wind up on some random jungletimes planet, with no way to get off of it, or any guarantee they'll find any sort of civilization, and your teammates have no way to get back to their homes (most tragic for wrex and tali). why would they look happy?

#3: your prior actions in past games have nothing to do with the ending, other than an EXTREMELY minor difference if you choose to destroy or keep the reaper tech in ME2.
why? they were important in many other facets of the game, but NONE of your other major feats or achievements have ANY affect on your ending? at all?
thats bad writing :mad:

#4: what in the bleeding fuck was that after the credits
a badly voiced scene with a kid and his grandpa, talking about "the shepard". what? why should anyone care who those people are? does it mean that the whole thing was a fairy tale? was it supposed to be a "glimpse" of the distant future, made possible b/c of your sacrifice? it looked snowy and desolate, that's kind of sucky. was it an allusion to jesus or something? what in the bleeding unholy shitwiggles was that? was it supposed to provide some happy closure to the player? it was just random and stupid and completely unnecessary.
MAYBE if like ... that old man was Joker, and like he went "... and the years I spent flying that ship were the best of my life" ... or something, THEN it would have been closure.
but otherwise it HAD NO REASON TO BE IN THERE and it was BAD WRITING

i didn't get pissed about it until later, after really considering it.
ulgh.
