Mass Effect 3 director defends DLC, endings with 'common sense'

Mar 14th 2012 3:43PM (Joystiq)
***Spoiler, maybe***





Yea the bullshit ending is out of place. It's forced and half-assed at best. The last 10 minutes of the ME3 nullifies any choice you make. Including the choice to play through all three Mass Effects again because no matter what, some shitty demi-god thing tells me none of it matters anyway and you're stuck with 3 crappy endings. Not to mention a number of plot holes and loose ends.

So why did I need to spend all those hours forming an alliance with every race when it doesn't do anything for me? Most of them die since they're stuck in the Sol system. The mass relays blow up, destroying nearby systems with a super nova. So all of that sacrifice and emotion is all for nothing.. My in-game decisions don't affect the ending. No closure. No sense of accomplishment. You set out to achieve something and you don't get it. I wanted to see it end but not like this...

I was legitimately disappointed with this poor excuse of a game ending, let alone a trilogy ending. Seriously... Why bother importing a career that you put hours into, for NOTHING!

I don't even care about the DLC issues people have. "Ashes" DLC isn't on the disc. It's a 600mb download. The multiplayer is a nice touch and can be fun with friends but it's integration into ME3 ending is irritating.

Overall I had a blast for the first 90% or so of ME3. But now that I know how it ends I don't care anymore. Not because it's an ending but because it's a shitty ending that breaks everything.

My two cents.

BioWare investigating fix for Mass Effect 3 face import errors

Mar 7th 2012 4:51PM (Joystiq)
I imported my Shepard (From ME 1 into 2) into Mass Effect 3 last night. I knew of this issue but thankfully my import was successful. It also reminded me that I made my Shepard look like me. Talk about immersion! =)

So far I am enjoying ME3 and surprisingly the co-op multiplayer mode is fun and flows well.

I highly recommend the entire Mass Effect trilogy. =)

Beyond Good & Evil HD heavily discounted on Xbox Live today

Did they ever fix the inverted sticks issue? Last time I played the arcade demo I went to change the settings and it never worked properly.

Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary vs Halo: Combat Evolved: FIGHT!

Also, I love the fact that it will have the ability to swap back and forth between the HD visuals and the original visuals in real time. That is just too cool.

I am so looking forward to this. It's like nostalgia in HD. =D Seriously this brings me back to being 15 years old. Good times. =)

Rumor: Domains reveal new Fable, Dance Central and Kinect Sports

Jun 4th 2011 7:24PM (Joystiq)
@tendoboy1984

Because while you can make games that are based around the Kinect thing, they also have potential to add interaction with games that use the non replaceable controller. Hand motions, voice commands, facial recognition, etc... Also the Xbox 360 and PS3 are more advanced, obviously. Which allows devs to have more freedom when building the technical side of their games.

Kinect and PS Move are just more engaging options. Look at Kill Zone. Doesn't it have the ability to play with the PS3 controller AND the PS Move? If Halo, or any game for that matter could allow me to play like that, I'd have a blast. Totally make me feel like a kid again. Seriously, I could scan in my N-Force Nerf rifle and pretend it's a Halo battle rifle and play the campaign or the firefight. Just my thoughts.

In either case, I don't see how these peripherals could ever replace the controller. They're just more options.

Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 'Resurrection' DLC out this month

Sweet! I love this game. =)

Section 8: Prejudice patched, DLC'd and double XP'd

Jun 1st 2011 11:28PM (Joystiq)
Nice! I am super happy with my 15 dollar purchase of this game. I noticed the map pack for 4 bucks earlier today on XBLM but it is nice to know that there is a double XP weekend this weekend. I know what I'm doing this Friday. =)

Especially since Crysis 2 just had a Memorial Day weekend double XP event as well. Got my lvl 50 and I can reboot (but I will not!). Though, the game never gave me my 20th weapon unlock token so I didn't get my achievement. Also I can never quite get my "Psycho!" skill kill. I get so close and then get shot in the back or naded into the air, haha. It's the only skill-kill I need for that achievement as well.

Also, I totally recommend Section 8: Prejudice to anyone on the fence about it. Clearly TimeGate Studios executed a well thought out game and plans to support it for sometime. Also, anyone need some online buddies for Section 8: Prejudice or Crysis 2, add me! GT: BombProofGIJoe

Deus Ex: Human Revolution E3 trailer is very snappy

Jun 1st 2011 5:17PM (Joystiq)
I look forward to this game more and more as I see new trailers. I can see myself playing this game a ton of times. Like Mass Effect. I love me some Mass Effect but it is time for a new in-depth and engaging atmosphere. This game cannot come any sooner. I'm stoked. =)
