I've submitted a report. Thx bby. 
I'm always on the front page, and I get audio ads all the time. Do you want me to start reporting all of them? There's all sorts.

Audio ads in general are cancer, but are they technically "malicious"?

Early access games suck.
I mean I got into the tech early smartass
What does that even mean.
Overly fancy name for a beta
Early access games suck.
if the purpose is to receive community feedback, what's the issue
They should be listening to professional consultants int heir playtesting department.
The community doesn't know what they want.
who's to say anyone else knows better

A lifeless chunk of meat. Dreams, hopes, everything they ever wanted to do was eagerly awaiting that tomorrow that never came. That never really mattered.
Dead faces. Lifeless eyes. It's like something was drained out of them. It's so haunting.
it's actually pretty cool they don't have to be in the worst place in the world anymore

Verbatim 2.0
he's more of a protoverbatim 2.0 would imply an upgrade of sorts, as though any "edgy" belief challenger has, i haven't already eclipsed

SNES.
This was a fairly difficult game growing up, and you'll want the more precise controls and more responsive movements the console version offers.
I really only had trouble during the ice levels.

The GBC port is surprisingly good by Game Boy standards, but the original SNES release offers tighter controls, prettier visuals (obviously), some of the best music the franchise has to offer, and overall crispier gameplay.

The ending itself is bad; the response given-- bandaging the gutshot that was the end by giving a DLC epilogue-- definitely helps put into perspective both the severity of the negative reaction and Bioware's admittance that it could have been done better.
But it wasn't violently bad, just depressing. I won't buy Andromeda. Not as a message, but because ME3 killed my drive to revisit the universe.
The conclusion to the trilogy took several years to reach; I came into the series a little late, close to the release of ME2. Even then, that was four years before ME3. One the ME3 marketing began, the different choice combinations moving from ME and ME2 and seeing small changes were touted as a form of appetizer for ME3; the ending was supposed to take the aggregate of those decisions you've made overy the years to result in the ending.
And it didn't. As a series which holds player agency and repercussions for your actions as a core design philosophy, the ending removes the importance of previous choices-- beyond a series of "points" that you get for not totally destroying every encounter within ME3 itself-- and gives three options which initially appear different, but all immediately show you nearly identical results. Solely within the confines of a thematic closure to the game, it fails entirely. When applied to the series, it almost invokes a nihilistic statement about the effects of the actions you take ultimately having no real consequence; again, this entirely goes against the stated and developed point of the series.
Having said that, you most likely won't react as harshly. Sure, you might end up agreeing with its failure in storytelling, but you aren't experiencing it in the same environment of expectations, promises, and long awaited closure of a patient fanbase. In that respect you have a more objective position walking into it, but doesn't mean that the reaction that it provoked from pre-existing fans should be disregarded. It supports the idea of Bioware, as a company, failing to maintain an open dialogue with its fanbase (thereby losing touch with it), showing a culminating of organizational issues with the team headed by Casey Hudson and Mac Walters, and issues of changing writing staff failing to maintain cohesion in narrative, theme, and mood.
Well-reasoned. You're especially right about the expectations thing. I'm sure if I put myself within the perspective of a die-hard ME fan who was really anticipating how the series would conclude, I can easily imagine how someone would be disappointed if all the choices they made up until that point were basically nullified. So, part of what made the general reaction to the ending so alien to me was simply because I had never been aboard that hype train. But even if I concede that, as an outsider, it's still very difficult to imagine myself being that upset over it. I just don't get salty over endings--period, no matter what. Never gotten angry at an ending. At worst, I'm mildly disappointed, because things may not have ended the way I hoped--but then I get over it pretty fast. I don't really think in terms of "good" or "bad" endings, because "bad ending" to me just translates to "not how I personally would have ended it." When that doesn't matter, because it's not your story. I dunno.

It's a Metal Gear Game because it can be somewhat grounded in realism

Whatever interest I may have had in Fire Emblem in the past has been violently strangled to death by Awakening and Fates.

i can't wait to get around playing the mass effect series, only to discover that ME3's ending wasn't all that bad
how can you say that if you haven't played them?
i swear, you prime yourself to be a contrarian in situations like this lol
because that's how things tend to work if people think a game is 10/10 amazing, it's probably 8/10 at best if people think something is godawful, it's probably not so bad and people just like to gang up on shit

Maybe you were playing an intense game of Halo and one of your opponents took it upon himself to upload that shit to YouTube, or something, and you only found out a month later. I'm just now discovering that a few people I've fought in Street Fighter over the years have uploaded our matches: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-zyx6C8g6s4https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ttWSfMJw084https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5A_FOVG5gS8 (this one's good) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AkhJmKjJmEE (this one's good too) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bmy5wRfKEOgYeah, I lost every one of those games--I mean, why would someone upload a clip of them losing? I'm not sweating it. It's kinda weird, but kinda cool at the same time. I take it as a show of respect, because it means that the other guy was proud enough of their victory over me that they decided to show it to everyone. You wouldn't upload some boring match against some bad opponent, right? Not to mention, I get to look over how I played from the perspective of a viewer, and cringe at all the things I did wrong. This sort of thing can really help you improve. If you never thought of the possibility of someone uploading your shit, maybe now's the time to YouTube your tag and see if anyone was cheeky enough to post something. You'll never know what you could find.

holy shit you're a faggot.
that's probably your most creative effort yet, i'm almost impressed
I wish i was cool like you. maybe my one day i can turn into a giant tumor, never have friends, never have a job, and never leave my room.
none of those things apply to me, so if that's your impression of me, you have a long way to go before you're anywhere--ANYWHERE--near as cool as me sorry

Well no shit, RTS games are the best games they're okay still one of the worst genres, but they can be fun Check these out:
Starcraft: Brood War
Warcraft 3
Starcraft 2
Command and Conquer: Tiberian Sun
Command and Conquer 3: Kane's Wrath (Or Tiberium Wars)
Age of Empires 2
I assume you already play Civ 5? I think I heard you talk about it before.
command and conquer seems up my alley i've had nice things to say about civ because it's a TBS and i like TBS games, but i haven't played it
