OMG it's MEFan.

 

Now this is gonna be like old times.

 

In some ways. I don't think Cap is nearly as ruthless as my Shepard. And by nearly, I mean not at all. My Shepard is pretty dark. 

 

However, that's going to change fast for Civil War. Cap and Stark both take the villain ball against the other. I'm hoping it gets violent.

Nope, Cap wouldn't get along with my Shep at all. He might seem to, but during some choice executions they may come to harsh words.

 

Shep and Stark would definitely be drinking buddies though.

Trust me, I'm keeping me my so called "obsession" to a calm/minimum and less dramatic level.

Indeed. My Shepard isn't big on the whole 'honor, sacrifice, god, etc.' hang-up that Cap is. They'd be coming to blows after Sokovia. My Shepard would almost immediately be prioritizing stopping Ultron, with relative disregard for human life. Warn them to evacuate, but if they're caught in the crossfire, they're caught in the crossfire. My priority would be to neutralized Ultron and his colony drop city. 

 

That said, I'd be a proponent for Ultron without the AI crapshoot. Tony's a good man, but he's got a few issues.

Were the details on the Mass Effect 4 survey proven true or false?

Neither, however many things strongly point it out to be more true than false

It's actually the total opposite for me. Religious aspect aside, my Shep fits very well with Cap. Pretty much the same strong paragon persona where he will accomplish the goal no matter what but will do anything in the realm of possibility to save people.

Possible Spoilers, if any....


The info is very intriging, and I'm excited for it. But "if" the plot is set in the future, how is BioWare going toallow the game to vary depending on the players' end results in ME3? Wouldn't it be like making three different games at one time? And why is there a search for a new home for humanity if the war was won, in three different ways? Or is this all something completely new where the story of Shepard and the Reapers never existed? E3 cannot come sooner....

Oh my Shepard saves who he can as well. Unless they're morons and/or actively antagonistic. Or there's a really good reason not to. This is where the conflict would come in. I let the Council die, I pushed that merc out the window, I shot Elnora and Brooks. Cap would definitely have issues with that.

They won't. That's the point, to get away from the trainwreck that is ME3 without canonizing anything. They can't possibly account for everything in one game. So fresh start. The Ark may have been a contigency measure, launched during the war (or maybe even before) to escape the Reapers. The war happened but we don't deal with it because we're elsewhere. At least that's the theory.

 

A fresh start without invalidating what we were left with. I didn't think it was possible. But if this is true it may actually bring me back into the fold. Provided none of the propagators of "art" are still around doing anything other than fetching coffee.

Wait what.... the last movie is setting up the Civil War? That sounds cool.

 

 

I read a little of it. I loved the Punisher side story... how he turned out to be a Cap fanboy, but was ruining Cap's good name...

ME3 was anything but something negative like a trainwreck. The only thing that comes to mind when thinking about what I possibly hate about the Ending pre-Extended Cut was the fact that Liara wasn't exactly the last person I wanted to see as a flashback before blowing the tank with my pistol. That was it.

Anyway, back to the subject at hand. Either way it's all going to be different than everything in the current Trilogy. I hope it's not an MMO. And we don't need something like Destiny, which I lost interest before even trying the game.

What do some of you think about the possibility of a Next-Gen Remaster of the ME Trilogy?

I'd buy it. I'm still getting entertainment out of it as it is... even though DAI came out (disappointed) and I have all kinds of new gen games lying around.

I would be verry happy if I was given the opportunity to play the Trilogy on the PS4 and see the games in an updated engine, or at least at 1080p and 60 fps. If possible, every DLC should be inserted into the games. This is all rumor until E3.

If a train ride is perfectly smooth and enjoyable the whole way through but derails in the last five minutes, what you have is still a train wreck.

 

And ME3 was certainly not perfectly smooth.

 

As long as they keep to their strengths (compelling characters we care about) and the feel of Mass Effect (exploration, intrigue, emotional fulfillment), it should work out fine. There are ways of getting iconic technology and imagery in there as well that will cement the feel of the game as Mass Effect. Jury's out on whether they'll be able to pull it off. But they have more of a chance than I would've given them three months ago.

The council is understandable, however I prefer the less renegade option with the merc scene, where Shep pushes him against the window, cracking it, and simply saying: "do you think you'll hear the noise you make when you heat the floor ?" That's perfect for me. Not too violent but still threatening.

Meh...I'm sure it won't be on PC so not really excited for it.

Considering "Civil War" is the subtitle for the movie...

Yeah, ME3 s**t the bed in a lot of different areas.

For what movie? I haven't paid attention to anything. I just heard "Age of Ultron" being the new Avengers flick. I don't go to theaters or watch trailers.. so I don't know the ads.

The movie out right now is Avengers: Age of Ultron. Next year there will be a movie called Captain America: Civil War

OK.. see this is the first I've heard of that. 

 

That's cool though. I didn't read the whole Civil War, but there were some good things (especially Punisher and Spidey).

Captain America: Civil War, which comes out next year.

 

Personally, Civil War is a good idea for a plotline, but it wasn't executed very well and seems like it would hard to condense into a 2 1/2 hour movie (even more so than Age of Ultron or the original Avengers). The leaked script for the movie seems like it will be a better telling than the original comic line was, though they change a lot of things in it.

Is it weird that when watching Age Of Ultron, I noticed a similarity between Black Widow and Miranda, character-wise, in some aspect? It was the same when watching Winter Soldier. Forgive me. I can't help but be reminded of Miranda in different ways.

Black Widow is a very clear inspiration for Miranda, yes.

I only wish we saw more of that in the games. We don't see much deception/sleeper agent type of skills, but I wouldn't doubt she has them. And we see one scene in the comics (I think?) where she's displaying physical prowess... I think it's when she's exercising or something. Can't remember now.

Has this been proven to be correct? Perhaps I said it wrong. Black Widow's backstory had some things to compare with Miranda's.

I wish there was some comic or novel that can give us detailed information of Miranda's life before joining Cerberus. I'm not sure if Bioware has anything for this. I don't know if they have much of what is currently Canon to her character. There has to be more. LOTSB gave us some info. Perhaps BW doesn't see her as important as "other" characters.

Granted, I have not read the "Homeworld" comic, so I don't know about that.

It's not Homeworlds actually, it's Foundation. I read it, but now I barely remember it. It was fairly close to ME2 era.. teaming up with Jacob. Not further into the past. All of the Foundation stuff is essentially still about Cerberus and each character's ties to "Rasa" (i.e. Maya Brooks).

I meant Foundation. I got the comics mixed up. I haven't read a single one. We should have something that goes from Miranda's childhood, to her Cerberus Training. But there isn't, and there won't be. All effort is toward ME4 now.

ME4 is going to be different. So different that my character will be female. E3 is on the way. ME4 will most likely be shown at the damn Microsoft Press Conference.

That could still happen. Who knows.. 

 

I think they care though. Her and Jacob are both in each other's comics. So in a way they get two issues each, compared to the others.
