And the Protheans went with a bunker on a vulnerable planet instead of an Ark because...?

Well protheans could be in andromera, but bunker could be just one of the survival methods they tried.
They were pretty scattered across galaxy, meaning they are not completely aware what other prothean worlds were doing.

Some species of the current cycle could be doing bunkers too.

Do you really think she was referring to any civilization but the asari?

 

She was willing to let the galaxy burn around her if it meant protecting their worlds

Well yeah, it could be only for the asari, but its the only backup plan we hear in the series.  Unfortunately for other species it would still most likely result in their death, because asari&other race will result in asari children and with already low populations would mean other species almost certain extiction.

Hmm..what species ship style does that trailer ark ship look? Or it is just random scifi/series/movie ship copy paste.

I was countering your proclamations about the issues with the Crucible idea with the bold. Desperate and risky are highly relative when it comes to the Reapers. And this "secret escape" is still also quite risky, since it diverts valuable assets away from a solution and could very easily be intercepted or fail in any number of ways.

ship flying in deep space between stars is basically impossible to intercept. If they cant detect shepard ship even in point plank radius, finding normal ship from complete emptiness is impossible.

In my opinion, a ship launch prior to the end of ME3 is the most likely scenario.

It is. Its between tessia mission and final assault.

After tessia that councilor:

"

Councilor: I don’t know what to say. What was the situation on Thessia?

Shepard: Deteriorating fast. The Reapers are there in strength.

Councilor: Then I should be going. Plans must be put in motion. Continuity of civilization has to be considered. I never imagined this day would come.

"

So we all can thank asari for next mass effect.

This also allows reaper harvest ending possible, but it still doesnt mean that milky way will be dead from current races if those andromera people come back with huge fleet and destroy reapers.

I really hope that they get rid of combat music. Or atleast gives us option to remove them like in stalker series.

Combat music reduces immersion and thats why in my opinion me 1 has best and most immersive soundtrack.

Im okay with boss battle music.

Also they could spend those resources into more ambiend soundtracks so more places would get their own soundtrack.

Eaware is abandoning the original trilogy and all the toxic controversy with it.

 

Deal with it.

No they are not. Im sure whole andromera thing was already planned while they made me3. And luckily asari will be leading us again because it was their idea to put plans in motion to ensure continuity of their race and culture.  

I actually think that in next 3 mass effect(4-6), we are creating huge fleet in andromera and fly back to milky way to defeat reapers. That would even the letting harvest us ending could be canon.(dat stargazer looks like prothean so maybe some protheans escaped andromera too and we are seeing them in the ending) Or they might just follow us to the andromera and destroy us again.

It takes long time to harvest us in our galaxy so there is plenty of time to gather ships enough to destroy reapers.

I think this has increased quality of the forums.   Now many of the haters are slowly leaving, because nobody waste time on just hating games(atleast i hope).

Are you serious ?

Yes. liara is always my romance in every gameplay. I cant even imagine playing without her. also ali hillis.

Well i could accept if we would play with liara/shepard childen or she would be companion.

2 hours(?) until amd pc master race livecast starts. Then i can finally start to deicide if going for amd fury and 4k monitor or if im going to buy new sennheiser hd 800 and hdvd 800 for improved audio quality.

So far most interesting has been fallout 4 and cod bo2. Me trailer was so short and didnt really show anything so i cant say anything about it.

Looks more like a shooter, yes. Less rp more action. Isn't that what EA\Bioware has been all about the last few years?

Everybioware game is full of combat so no change in that.

If there is no liara, then i wont be buying it.

Liara or riot.

What you mean after ME3 swept across the setting like a plague locusts wrecking the settings get so badly exile from an entire freaking galaxy wax the only option?

They didnt wreck anything in me3. Everything makes sense if you just use your brains.

And we dont even know if they are going to return to our galaxy again at some point.

Doesn't feel like the ME I fell in love with, at all (mostly ME1, partially ME2, abandoned ME3). Actually, despite ME1 being in my top 5 games ever over 40 years, I'm left stone cold by this trailer. I love Johnny Cash, but in a trailer for ME? Oh dear. So many wasted opportunities with the ME franchise. It could've been epic and something entirely unique (like ME1), but it sadly crashed and burned. Anyway, I thank the old guard for what they gave me earlier. Time to move on for me too.

There is nothing unique in me1 or others. It just copy paste plot from freespace.

If the combat is turn based, then yeah maybe ill buy it. If not, then im not interested.

Moo 1 and 2 were awesome.   Both had their own strenghts and weaknesses. Moo 1 i like more, because less micromanagering and stacking units and race specific tech tree. But moo 2 had elerians.

Good blog post about misconceptions about what's historically-inspired and what's not about TW3.

 

It's technically about race which doesn't bother me, but it brought up a good discussion about the lore itself.

Its funny that he talks like it major problem for people, when only it was problem for polygon site.

It figures that once TW became a high profile game all these crazy people would come to poop on it.

 

The Witcher's always been about European culture, right? Especially Eastern Europe.

 

Last time I checked, there weren't any black guys around there 'in those days.'

 

Just like if we ever have an Elder Scrolls Hammerfell (which I really hope we do cos that place looked awesome in Daggerfall) we'd see a lot more black dudes than white.

 

Simple.

 

There's no "race issue" since race was irrelevant in the first place. It's not like Dragon Age where the world itself is thriving with different cultures and people from all over Thedas, the game is set in a medieval European-esque setting, therefore it will continue to do so.

 

Jeez.

Half of the population of the valen, skellige, novigrad and white orchad should be black and 50 % should be bearded women(conchita) also ofcourse there should be and 50% gay/bi people. Ofcourse those npc should be unkillable so it would not offend anyone, unfortunately it might still offend because atleast half of the main characters should be to. But that might offend too if they dont get enough dialog or time in the main plot. So its tricky situation for the cdpr.

Defeating isis is impossible. Its not just organisation or country, its a ideology. Even isis itself would be destroyed, still the ideology would be alive. So then they would just join other similar group like al-nusra/islamic front or create a new organisation

No way coalition bombings has killed 10k isis troops. That would be half of their forces from cia estimates. If they would lose that many on iraq and syria, they could not keep progressing on several fronts at the same time.

Lol...really..nice ball in their flag.

Ofcourse witcher 3 is better than dai.  Actually it is lightyears ahead of dai.   Eventhough being better game against dai doesnt require much, because quality of dai is not exactly very high.

Call of Duty: Blacks Ops 3

Yes, black ops 3 will likely be goty material. But that depends ofcourse if real camping is possible with assault shield and tropy systems, and microwave+sentry combo with claymores like in bo2.   singleplayer is going to be good im sure, bo2 and aw had exellent campaings.

So far witcher 3 is easily biggest goty material so far. Fo4 doesnt surpass it thats sure even it looked nice, but clearly w3 is miles ahead.

Well, thats about it. There isnt any other worthy games. 3 good games, i dont even remember when was a year when there was that many good titles.

Bethesda: You didn't like the forced family nonsense in FO3? TOO BAD HERE;S SOME MORE IN FO4

 

Quality Bethesda writing.

I liked the family thing in fo 3. One of the best starting of gaming history.

Looks pretty nice actually for bethesda game. Engine is good old improved creation engine and thats good thing. Its so easy to mod.

Im pretty sure we can run it with high end gpu easily with 4k 60fps.

I guess we got new game of the year?

Another 50 € goes away from my wallet.

Not interested. X-com eu 2 was massive decline already.

Too dicey for my liking and too steamlined. Also hated that it didnt have projectiles, so even the fake projectile hit something it really didnt hit, because it was just special effect. Too game`ish for my taste.

Old enemy unknown did everything better than the new one.

My reasoning is very simple: You have the responsibility to give the animal as clean and quick death as possible. You absolutely don't have any moral right to tamper with this rule for the sake of any 'fun' or fascination with some class of weapons. A scoped rifle provides more accurate bullet placement, by several magnitudes. A scoped rifle provides more killing power, by a magnitude.

 

Of course, there are plenty people who disagree. But my mind is set on this issue.

Agree, hunting should be always one shot, one kill.

I am a bit puzzled at the practicality of that rationale.

 

To be fair, perception bias applies strongly because I don't live in an environment with dangerous animals close around (the worst I'd get is an angry boar, which is still perfectly capable of eviscerating a full grown man with ease mind you, but still, no bear and I'd have to take a hiking to get into a forest where they actually frequent AND somehow find a real nasty one that would attack rather than just trot away), but wouldn't a rifle of comparable firepower be a lot more practical?

 

The way I see it, the only quality a rifle lacks compared to a high-powered revolver/handgun is ease of portability. Exactly how common/likely is an encounter with such dangerous animals that would require having a gun on yourself frequently enough and/or at places where a rifle isn't feasable to carry around? Do those people have to leave the house armed every time?

 

Because if not, a rifle should be a lot more practical, plus it's relative ease of operation and similar attributes (larger weapon frame makes handling high-powered weapons arguably easier, more weight helps balancing out the recoil and muzzle climb in case consecutive shots are required (which is likely the case if we're talking bears) and I reckon a decent rifle is cheaper than those handcannons too).

Wild boars arent dangerous. They rarely attack humans and when they do, its only because of human provoked.

"Sadly, stories over the centuries from hunters have led to charicatures of charging boar with big tusks.  Woe on the hunter who was afraid of such a docile creature.  Better that he makes a story up of how fearsome the boar was, and how brave he was to kill it!"

So already dropped on place 4 and 10 on steam.   That means bethesda doesnt need to worry about anything, they can continue spending most of the money on the marketing and trying to invent one new lame joke for free online advertise. I guess they are still trying to invent that joke, because we havent heard anything offical from fo4 or e-scrolls. So general decline in gaming will continue.

Finished few days a go this game.Great game. And i was suprised that skygglgdsglsdg was so beautiful place even it was the third big place. Those another travelling other worlds/realms was probably most interesting setting and quest.

Purchased expansion pass, even though i could have waited for one month for probably 10-15% summer sale, but i am happily supporting the devs. And ofcourse from gog so there would be less middle hands taking money.   And ofcourse got free witcher 1 and free another witcher 2.

This game is plain awesome.

Its like skyrim with combat system, plot and characters.

I never played witcher games before and still i could get easily into it.

Setting is believable and coherent, like the combat system, beautiful, good and interesting characters and quests. Soundtrack is perfect expecially with dac + sennheiser hd598. Now i just need to wait until new radeon get released so i can increase resolution and graphics.

Im still in valeria, even i have played from the release day from morning to night everyday. So big game, still good quests.

But im worried that fo4 might feel crap after this, because w3 showed us that you can make beautiful open world game with good coherent story with good combat.

Im happy, i got really bored into fantasy games, but witcher 3 returned my interest into it again.   dai and skyrim feels complete turd compared to this game.

From me this game gets 10/10
