Nah I don't feel like shutting up yet. Severely disappointed with the ending but am deeply suspicious that EA is probably planning on "augmenting" the endings with future DLC.
Ya know just because a game is good that doesn't give it the right to act like a jack ass. Yeah mass effect 3 is clearly good but can anyone say they wouldn't have rather forfeit multiplayer for a REAL ending without gaping plotholes. Keep the nihilism, I don't care. But at lea...
Son of a bitch this would have been awesome. Psychonauts can't get off the ground but EA's allowed to keep sucking the bone marrow out of weakened franchises.
I appreciate the artistic sentiment but it doesn't change the plot holes. If mass effect 3 had ended in some sort of halo reach style hold off against an endless army until you inevitably die it would still represent a beautiful ending to the series that fitted the whole series' theme of fighting against the odds. I'm not at odds with nihilism I'm at odds with the delivery. I don't want to go too far into plot points because of spoilers but the point still remains that the...
This article makes blatant assumptions that completely ignore the points that fans are making. Lots of games are very long and have very satisfying endings it's nothing to do with hours put in it's simply that in terms of narrative the endings are piss poor and completely negate the whole mechanic of decisions because at the end of the day it hardly bloody matters.
But I understand that it's cool to oppose the popular idea, and I understand that for some reason ga...
This has been posted before but it's still pretty interesting. Personally I think AI like this will pave the way to a sort of renaissance for creativity. A conversation could exist between a human and an AI allowing for amazing possibilities.
Basically this AI is never going to be able to create moments like Eli Vance's death in half life 2, or the nuke scene in Cod4, but it could make sure that checkpoints are never too far apart, that no weapons are unbalanced or th...
Yes the day 1 dlc is wrong but is anyone really that surprised EA and Bioware are being assholes? They're both pretty good at it lately. From Dragon Age 2 to the pitiful and disgusting rape of command and conquer they've both got some nasty war crimes in their past.
So if EA and bioware wanna pull this sort of crap that's fine but I hope they know I'm playing their game no matter what, the real variable in this equation is whether I'm paying for it.
John Romero's best presence in a game was his severed head on a pike in Doom II.
Roger Ebert is a waste of flesh and skin. He's a man who's made a living off other people's work and creations and he's mediocre at it at best. I don't give a crap what my mechanic has to say on the topic of games as art so I don't give a shit what Roger Ebert says either because they're both equally unqualified to say a damn word about it.
And Fox news is nothing more than the tissue basket Rupert Murdorch keeps by his bed for when he pleases him...
If valve did it, it would be incredible. But seriously prioritize with hl3 first.
It sounds like an interesting idea but frankly this is n4g.com not n4g.de or n4g.whatever and imo articles should only be posted if they're readable in English. The translate here is broken.
"That's okay - there's nothing wrong with that".
I just highlighted a fact that the article had kind of forgotten. Nobody forgets that the world runs on money - but that doesn't mean we can't be decent human beings. This isn't a case of realism here, it's simply highlighting the borderline inanity of EA's greed.
But thank you for assuming I'm a retard anyway.
Oh my God that's hilarious. Tragic... but hilarious. Is there a WORSE game to send!? I mean could there have been a worse thing to send someone who desperately wants mass effect 3? Can you imagine that all you want to do is spend your afternoon wrapped in the amazing world of being balls out space adventurer surrounded by beautiful women and to be the one guy who can stop the greatest threat to have ever existed and to win the greatest war to ever be won but to then only find out that you...
I think EA has already made it pretty clear what we need to do to get the "real" mass effect 3 experience - and that's hand out cash. Cash for mass effect 1, mass effect 2, then of course cash for the mass effect 2 DLC, and then cash for mass effect 3, and cash for the DLC that comes with mass effect 3. If you want the "real" experience that's basically what you need to do. It's essentially what you're saying but you somehow left out the fact that to get th...
We should never arbitrarily restrict technology just to give people jobs. Otherwise let's go shoot every horse on a farm because they're stealing good jobs that could be done by ten humans. While we're at it let's get rid of tractors and cars and phones and trucks and lorries and televisions and pay people to replace them poorly.
FYI the idea is to create a "conversation" between dev and the AI. I doubt the AI would understand the poignancy of "...
I agree. I struggle to take anyone seriously if they list CoD as a game they play anyway. It's a bit like asking someone what music they like and they reply "I'm a big fan of the beatles".
It's not quite like that example though because the Beatles are good. But still the point remains. EVERYONE plays CoD. It doesn't make you a gamer. There's so much to the gaming culture it goes beyond playing the MOST SOLD PIECE OF MEDIA TO EVER EXIST.

Can people stop mocking up what they think "next gen" graphics will look like? Seriously the "next generation" is nothing more than a constructed concept applied to an area of technology that undergoes small but consistent steps of progress peppered with the occasional leap forward. It's one thing for the "next gen" of consoles to be speculated on but it's not like you press a damn a button and gaming's graphics are going to suddenly pokevolve into so...
If only there was some way to harness all this stupidity. Some way to take this vast unlimited resource and turn it into a fuel, or maybe some kind of sandwich. We'd end world hunger or make it to the stars with an endless supply fresh from the readers of The Daily Mail and members of the tea party. With Rush Limbaugh alone we could power a Martian mega-colony.
But you know what... I guess the fact we live in the world idiots like this can get pissed off at a decision ins...
Prothean team member says it all mate. This isn't "sugar on top". "Sugar on top" is horse armour and cosmetic changes not a God damn team member who happens to be a member of an extinct race which is absolutely central to the plot.
Congratulations though EA, I mean just when Activision were going to beat you in the "who can be the greediest assholes" competition you guys show that you are once and for all Kings of destroying artistic integri...
Bethesda are making fallout 4, elder scrolls VI, OR another rpg!?
JESUS H CHRIST THIS IS CLEARLY NEWS! Who could have guessed!?
Yes! I completely agree. This is nothing but the hypocritical crap that's spewing out of the mouths of people who actually fucking make their living criticize games in their reviews. Mass effect 3 is NOT perfect. Yeah sure skyrim has a few bugs so the critics can call that up. Isn't it "entitled" to expect utter perfection? Oh no that's different. That's legitimate and all the forums full of people wanting fixes that's just people using their right to complain. ...
