man that is a wall.

LOTS OF SPECULATION FROM EVERYONE.

Turkey · April 19, 2015, 10:25:51 PM

I'm sure it's fake, but that's basically DA:I in space.

Hey. Remember how the rainbow skittles ending was leaked a few months before release and everybody waved it off as speculation and bullshit, believing that they'd be stupid to try and pull that.

How the person who leaked it said the fans would be upset.

Boy I'm sure glad that leak was wrong......

are we talking about DA:I leak or ME?

Gatortag · April 19, 2015, 10:57:01 PM

I'm fine with DA:I in space. This was the same way DA:I was leaked, so it could be true.

ME.

It's what made the ending hurt so bad for me. I stumbled onto that leak, and figured, "Eh, these are usually bullshit anyway, why not have some fun?"

Come a few months later the tears were real. I don't take most leaks seriously. But for bioware I am now making a strong exception. Of course, Being completely fair I won't be getting ME4 anyway.

Mega Sceptile · April 19, 2015, 11:14:54 PM

Can't we have ONE game where some asshole doesn't spoil the story months before it's even announced anymore? seriously, I miss the days back when the internet was just becoming a thing and only legit info was put out and you had that little bit of magic during the waiting period where you talked about the info and got some speculation going in a thread, you know, all that hype magic that adds to the game, rather than being told the whole plot right off the bat.

Hey.

I miss completely finished games.

I miss gaming communities that weren't petty and fucking whiny over every detail.

I miss DLC being new unique content and livening up fresheners for the game rather than unfinished parts.

I miss devs not fucking rushing and taking their time with installments.

Fuck modern gaming trends man. And fuck their warped communities as well.

ok cause there was the DA:I leak that turned out to be true.

big sponge · April 19, 2015, 11:30:19 PM

If true it seems to be pretty interesting.

However 100s of planets to land on makes me think of ME1 style copy-paste for planets.

They did a good job with Dragon Age Inquisition and providing huge areas that weren't copy pasted, so we'll see

if this is true of course

Mat Cauthon · April 20, 2015, 03:02:44 AM

I'll have to check this out later, whether legit or not it should be interesting.

Big Boss · April 20, 2015, 04:51:29 AM

I am moderately excited

I just skimmed it and it was pretty story spoiler free, it was more of an outline about what the game will be like.

OT: It actually sounds quite interesting, and I may or may not be able to say that certain surveys from a certain website very similar to this one quote appear from time to time >.>

I'm okay with DA:I Space Edition.

Stuff.

Spoiler

I said "It" because you should only play the first game.
Lemon is right, each sequel drops in quality.

Ahem.

In other words, since lemon says it's bad, that means it's good. It's got good storyline, and the combat is fun. Very strategy centric. I do wish that there were different parts of the storyline or combat that was largely different due to your class. Like a recon class would be able to have an elevated position on a group of enemies to snipe them, while an assault class would just be able to charge in.

But I will say, unless there is a deux ex machina of sorts, there can't possibly be another mass effect. The endings not only branch too much, but the "good ending" also destroys ALL ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE. All of the civilizations (aside from the Krogans) will have to start nearly from scratch.

But then again, that's what I said after infamous 2, and they chose which ending was canon and built off of that...

I never said they were bad you fuckwit.
The story takes a dive after ME1, what with ME2's mediocre filler story.
They progressively become less of an RPG and more of an action shooter.
ME3's fucking ending.
The gameplay is one of the few things that gets better.

DiamondSentinel · April 20, 2015, 07:00:50 AM

I liked mass effect 2 the most... While the story didn't branch as much as I would have liked, it was a very well rounded. The most well rounded of them.

I actually liked ME3 story the most. While I didn't get how they could survive that long, it did make me want to hurry a bit.

The first was easily my least favorite. The only issue I had choosing which follower to sacrifice was that I hated them both...
