    BioWare Unveils Mass Effect Trilogy

    If it features all DLC I'm in,...after 12 months at a discounted price for the convenience of having everything in the one place. If not, then I couldn't raise the requisite number of shits to be remotely excited. I still play the hell out of the ME series, still dig the characters and...

    Violent Video Games "Warped" the Dark Knight Rises Killer

    That would be nice, but sadly it would be stooping to their level. These moments are the product of a host of issues of which games, films, etc are a debatable part- mental health and access to weaponry are also parts, and arguably of greater direct importance. My beef is that there are...

    Violent Video Games "Warped" the Dark Knight Rises Killer

    This is now my go to clip for times like these https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PezlFNTGWv4&feature=player_embedded If you don't have 2.48 to give to the whole thing, skip to 1.30 then tell me who does more to encourage shit like this. I'm sick of the things I love getting scapegoated by a...

    Poll: ME3 EC didn't fix anything

    The only annoyance is that the should have shipped the game that way in the first place, otherwise the endings were ok. IMO the overarching ME story went off the rails the moment the credits rolled on ME1 so maybe I wasn't as cut up as some because I didn't expect to be blown away. ME2...

    Poll: Max Payne 3 difficulty.

    The difficulty wasn't so much the issue as never getting long enough with the mechanic to get used to it. I understand it had something to do with masking loading screens, but it just felt like someone reefed the controller off me ever 3 minutes just as I was getting into the flow. It didn't...

    Poll: Mass Effect: Which character class is your favourite?

    ME1 soldier, ME2- adept, ME3- engineer. Engineer felt the best balanced of the classes in ME3, overload was just so damn useful. I like the fact they balanced cooldown time with weapon loadout, I had a fun time taking down shields & barriers with overload then taking heads off with the black...

    BioWare "Falsely Advertised" Mass Effect 3

    I have fewer issues with the way the story was resolved than the way key pieces of lore were carved off into saleable dlc chunks (as if a living god damn PROTHEAN was somehow irrelevant to the story). My issue is that if it really does provide closure, really does wrap up the threads, why the...

    Name 3 things you LIKED about Mass Effect 3 (Spoilers)

    The overarching story was stupid from the moment they introduced the prothean mega weapon, but I loved the rest. Thane & Mordin, combat was fun, the multiplayer unexpectedly good, the genophage resolution, the geth/quarian situation.... yeah mostly good, bar the overarching plot that hasn't...

    Mass Effect 3's ending wasn't that bad...

    To be honest, I'd be disappointed if Bioware rushed out a change to keep the fans happy (if thats even possible). You told your story: live with the response. If there is DLC that makes a substantial difference to that ending, I'll be more pissed off about being gouged because BiowarEA...

    Mass Effect 3 Review

    As someone who normally doesn't give a monkeys about new release anything, this week I have ME3 AND the Game of Thrones season 1 to shell out for. Thank god I don't make a habit of losing all objectivity for cultural artifacts or I'd have no money to save for weeks like these. Glad to know...

    Mass Effect 3 Launch Trailer Redefines "Epic"

    Nice. While the tease is getting unbearable, I'd like to thank Bioware for at least thoughtfully releasing this the day before a long weekend.

    UPDATE: Mass Effect 3's Multiplayer is incredible. (Added my refletions and a quick guide)

    yeah, I'm a believer. It isn't the multiplayer to rule them all, but it's fun if you get a good team mix and way better than I expected it to be. It's just nice to play a another part in the mass effect universe

    OK, ME3 demo opinions

    The combat felt fluid enough but aside from the opening, the story wasn't showcased too much. I'm expecting a lot more climactic battles and heroic speeches than intrigue and twists, but it's kinda getting to the sharp end of the story so I'm at least prepared for it. Surprised to run into...

    Advice on Dark Souls

    The stairs on the right of the bridge eventually reach the Undead burg bonfire if you follow the downward path and kick the ladder to open the shortcut. Very useful to have. OP- Dark Souls is rewarding because the journey is so hard that the destinations feel genuinely earned. Fairness...

    Mass Effect 3 Multiplayer Trailer Goes "Special Forces"

    oh, and anthropomorphized EDI is fucking absurd
