Gaming / Re: Nintendo President and CEO Satoru Iwata passes away
« on: July 13, 2015, 04:04:24 PM »
So are Nintendo finally going to come up with a new idea?
Wow kid.

What?
You think someone's death is good news because "muh originiality"?

I have no idea where you got that I thought it was good. It wasn't even implied.
It seemed that way from this:

No, but it seems logical to assume that the guy who makes decisions is likely the biggest reason for why the company has made, like, one new franchise in forever (No, spin offs of spin offs don't count.).

Personally, I couldn't give less of a shit. I don't play Nintendo games because I don't find them remotely interesting, but I don't think it's good a guy died. I just don't care.
If you didn't care then why did you make such a bad spirited post. You could have just not posted but instead you went out of your way to be a dick about the situation. You made a snide comment in a thread about someones death for no reason but to make a snide comment. Grow up.


"Oh no! Opinions!"
When at all did I talk about opinions? Did you even read what I said. You were just a dick for the sake of being a dick it is as simple as that and you need to grow the fuck up kid.

No, just giving my honest view on things.

Not my fault I don't have the same blind love for Nintendo most people do.

Gaming / Re: Halo vs Mass Effect (Goddamnit)
« on: July 13, 2015, 03:58:56 PM »
Mass Effect is hardly more realistic than halo. They just get around the laws of physics with made up elements and space magic. What about that artificial gravity? I see no centrifuge. The mass effect Railguns are nothing compared to a MKII MAC, let alone a MKV MAC. And those are nothing compared to pulse lasers and plasma torpedoes.

If a Supercarrier can take on a relatively decently sized fleet from ME, then several of them can solo the entire thing.

Taken into consideration that two are confirmed to exist (In Ghosts of Onyx and Halo: Reach). Just two would cause more devastation then a reaper could hope to cause. Imma add in the Reaps in a way that they make sense here. To further throw a test.

The Covenant spanned the entire Orion arm. They had certainly more than 2 CSO Class carriers. Hell, there would have been at least a dozen at High Charity/ Unyielding Heirophant alone.
Exactly! Don't forget the battleship that wrecked that one UNSC fleet before going down.

Now imagine what more than one of those could do.

I'm under the assumption that class (The 'sniper' ship) was just as rare as a CSO. They were never seen until that battle.

My problem is the story. It just seems like bad fan-fiction. You know when 'Halo Follower' makes accurate predictions about the story, something is off.

This implies Halo 3/ Reach had good stories. Anything made from here on out is never going to be worse than those.

It absolutely does not imply that.

Not to mention, Halo 3 contains the greatest piece of Halo fiction ever published.


I genuinely laughed out loud here. Halo 3 doesn't even make sense of you actually pay attention to it

I'm not talking about the story. Halo 3's story is shit.

Well what else about the 'fiction' is there in Halo 3? The terminals? I'm trying to understand what makes halo 3 the best fiction.

Also, mass effect is reliant on the relays for interstellar travel.

In a neutral galaxy, me would not have the ability to travel that far, whereas the UNSC and Covenant does.

So, in summary;

Mass effect has numbers, but numbers mean shit when you're looking down the barrel of a loaded orbital strike.

Mass Effect would probably have an even chance in infantry combat; it's weaponry is much more advanced than the UNSC (lolnatorounds) and their armour for their standard infantry seems to be actual armour rather than something barely better than today. their vehicles also come fulyl armoured (See: Mako, Hammerhead, that Krogan troop transport thing) whereas both the UNSC and Covenant's main tanks and recon vehicles are all lightly armoured/ not at all armoured and don't really reach that high a speed. A Scarab tank would probably be the deciding factor (Alongside the lekgolo as a whole) due to their unique forms and combat that isn't really matchedby any ME species like
Spoiler
Turians = Elites
Krogan = Brutes and so forth

However, mass effect ultimately fails in it's naval and air force capabilities; their ships have many weak points that could easily be blasted (Thank you aesthetic design) to sever a ship and they seem to have CIC and bridge with only windows to space. In this regard, the Geth would be the best option for space combat here, as they explicitly build their ships for combat (Alongside having massive infantry capabilities). However, the Mass Effect has something that Halo does not; Mass Relays; these things allow much faster interstellar travel, and Mass effect has colonised their entire galaxy, whereas Halo only has a bit of the Orion Arm. (Note- if this were in a neutral galaxy with no relays, then Halo still wins on the interstellar travel part, I believe)

So in reality, mass effect could swarm Halo with superior numbers of infantry that are all better equipped than in Halo (Well, beter than the UNSC, anyway) and a multi-million unit army comprised of a networked intelligence that is able to utilise entire planets for resources if necessary. If Mas Relays are in play, then ME could easily conduct fast attack raids on a Halo planet/ fleet, doing a medium amount of damage and running off to the other side of the galaxy where they can't be followed. If in a neutral galaxy, then Halo is able to utilise slipsace travel to a greater effect than ME's interstellar travel (The type you use in  a star cluster) as it is longer-ranged, and Halo's fleets typically bear much heavier firepower, and a CSO-class supercarrier could quite easily #rek a mass effect fleet, not including the many thousands of ships assigned to defend the Covenant's 3,000 light-year territory and the human armada.

So, if on ME's terms (Mass Relays available), they have a chance. On Halo's/ Neutral terms, Halo roflstomps.

I wasn't disputing their age, or trying to argue about what they can do, I'm pointing out that it seems you all got caught up on a word that was there by mistake.

They can still be billions of years old, but they can't really be older then the universe, that means they're literally gods, divine beings. Instead of "an incredibly advanced race of beings".

Older than our galaxy? Sure, older than the universe? Well if so it wouldn't have taken them "many billions of years" to seed some galaxies. As gods, it would be a snap of their fingers.

It seems they evolved in the 'void' and found a way to create dimensions, or more likely, they evolved in a universe and cracked corss-universal travel and existed for so long that they have the technology to essentially break physics and do anything they like. But they're not gods. Their creations can still be destroyed, and they can be defeated.

Halo, no offense but Mass Effect is one of the hilarious and weakest sci fi games out there. If it was Halo vs Warhammer then its a completely different story since Warhammer is (VERY SUPER OP) compared to Halo.

Unless it's Precursors and Forerunners (Lol even Forerunners) vs Warhammer. Then it'd be far less than a curbstomp. Hell the Forerunners by themselves would wreck a hell of a lot of shit before something in the upper echelon of Warhammer fights back.

lol, the necrons would like to disagree with you, they are basically very hard to kill and can still kick ass even if they're down, the Forerunners would be stomped by them, and since they're non organic, they can't be affected by the Halo Rings, which means that the forerunners would be dead anyways. Now going against the Precursors would be very interesting.
The Halo rings can actually be dialed down to kill planets, as seen in one of the books. (Cryptum I believe?)

You're right, I almost forgot about that. But that would mean it's only the chaos gods and their armies to deal with (since they live in a another dimension) and they can wipe out the forerunners with no problem.
Forerunners kick ass in the conventional warfare aspect. But they'll have to cry to their parents the Precursors when shit gets hairy with the non-conventionals.

I thought the Forerunners kick the Precursors ass?
From my understanding, the Precursors let them. Of course, some went to hiding then came back as Floodcursors.

I mean seriously, these are older-than-our-universe beings who's idea of fun is creating galaxies worth of life and things and degrading themselves so they can experience the ride.

They're essentially bored almost omniscient beings. I highly doubt that the Precursors playing with the Milky Way galaxy were the only ones out there.

There is literally zero evidence to even remotely suggest that the Precursors are older than our universe. Like, zero evidence. The most concrete shit on them is that they're millions of years old, but nothing even close to multiple billions.
Books and wikis would like a talk with you.

I think there was a mistake here, the Precursors are probably older than our galaxy, I find it difficult to believe they were around before the universe popped into existence, no matter what they could do.

They were an incredibly advanced race of beings who explored many galaxies and seeded them with life over the course of many billions of years. As transsentient beings, they existed on an abstract level beyond that of conventionally sapient biological organisms. They were not tied to any particular physical form, assuming any shape as they saw fit; they would allow themselves to die away and be evolved anew over and over again, taking on numerous incarnations both physical and immaterial. They lived through different stages of technological and cultural development countless times, being at times hyper-advanced and spacefaring and at others living primitively and remaining confined to their worlds.[7] The Precursors based their existence around the philosophical concepts of the Mantle, Living Time, and a meta-technological mechanism known as neural physics, which enabled them to manipulate the fabric of the universe. According to the philosophical aspect of neural physics, the universe itself is a living entity, though vastly different in nature and scale from organic beings.[8] The Precursors' stewardship for all life involved the belief that all experience of biological organisms enriched the greater, universal whole,[9] something they experienced firsthand through the constantly changing nature of their own existence. To contain their vast knowledge and experience the Precursors created the Domain, a transcendent quantum reservoir of information later accessed by the Forerunners.[10]

The Precursors were responsible for seeding the Milky Way with life, creating the galaxy's diverse composition of species. Over time, they would also judge whether a species was worthy of the Mantle, their assumed role of guardianship of all life. The humanoid species native to the world of Ghibalb, who would come to be known as the Forerunners, were next chosen for this task. This species was eventually judged to be unworthy of taking on the Mantle and the Precursors instead decided that the responsibility would fall on the shoulders of another of their creations; a collection of species referred to as humanity, hailing from the planet known as Erde-Tyrene. When the Precursors announced their decision to the Forerunners around 10,000,000 BCE, the latter furiously retaliated against their creators and drove them to near-extinction, first in the Milky Way and eventually in the satellite galaxy of Path Kethona; only a small number managed to escape the Forerunners' campaign of extermination. According to the Precursors themselves the Forerunners struck against their creators unprovoked,[11] while certain Forerunners who learned the truth later on insisted that the Precursors had planned to wipe out the Forerunners first.

Except Halopedia does NOT back up this claim with any lore anywhere, it's just pulled out of their ass. And many billions =/= older than the universe. Whoever wrote this on the Precursors did a piss poor job, considering they are at most mentioned to be millions of years old, and never billions. The most I've ever seen with actual, substantial lore is millions, spoken by a Precursor himself, and not just a wild guess thrown into a wikipedia article.

I have read the books this info comes from. Precursors are explicitly mentioned to be older than the universe, andf that the Domain is at least 150bn years old.

Make of ti what you will.
