I've plenty of experience with them.  I'm sorry you're so terribly offended that Bioware's trying to copy their gameplay,  but at the end of the day,  no matter how much you protest,  that's still what it is.  Personally,  I'd *really* like it if you'd drop the fanatacism,  but I doubt that's going to happen either.  I've yet to see a word of criticism out of you,  but you'll be within 5 posts of anything criticising Bioware in order to defend them.

You might also want to take a few moments and actually watch/read what you linked to.  Big hint:  The hobbits mission isn't to go visit every race,  solve their internal problems,  and rally them to assault Mt. Doom.  In fact,  you never see the Dwarves,  the Hobbits don't fight anything,  and the elves fight exactly one battle.

You don't see something wrong with reusing the same plot two games later?


What, criticize ME2?

I don't like when I have to level up one power to unlock another, I don't like the small variety of options for the upgrades, I don't like that it took just two years for the thermal clip technology to reach out so far in the galaxy, (but I accept the technology itself) I don't like spending fuel to go anywhere outside the solar system with a relay, I don't like how the geth seems unaffected by my choice on Legion's loyalty mission (but I accept it again, as it's probably an oversight or they did it for the sake of gameplay, so it's not that much of a complaint) and I don't like when NPCs are interrupting the squad banter.

Just because I'm not doing it, doesn't mean I'm incapable of it.

And no, I don't think there's a problem with them using almost the same story setup, because it was honestly a pretty predictable outcome. I don't think I can reason with the Reapers or talk them out of the cleansing cycle. Thus, we have no choice but to fight them.

People joining forces to fight a greater evil is not something that's restricted to fiction either.

Weren't we originally talking about smudboy and his opinion? Not brains and sh*t?

It's like one of those fascist feminist forums....

When were we discussing solid waste excretions?

The brains have to do with whether or not Shepard's memories could have been repaired in the Lazarus project or cloned if the brain was liquified, supporting or hurting the point that Shepard's ressurection was/wasn't a plot hole which was one of Smudboy's stronger points and the very fabric of the debate hinges on this one fact if memories can be cloned/repaired!! Don't you get it!?!?! It's all in the brains!!!
Posted ImagePosted Image

Seriously, based off how brains are supposed to work:  Couldn't Cerberus have repaired or cloned Shep's brain and used one of Shep's last awsomely futuristic brain scans to mimic the exact arrangement of neurons before Shep's death?

Edit:  Typo fix

Shepard's Resurrection isn't a plot hole, especially if it's addressed in ME3. What if it turns out to be incredibly significant? Something along the lines of being rebuilt using Reaper tech, and now Shepard has to face an internal struggle against the Reapers seeking to control him?

All wild speculation of course.

Tissue and organ regeneration/cloning, along with cybernetic enhancements, would restore the body and actually enhance it. Since even today humans don't know how memories stored, simply cloning his brain cells could have reproduced his memories (a common theory is that memories are stored via neurons, which could be cloned). The only part of the revival addressed is how they reanimated his body.

And no matter what explanation Bioware gave for that, it would be met with criticism. Believe it or not, but Bioware doesn't hold the key to reanimating dead people.


We're even shown what they did to restore Shepard's body.

And if BioWare wants to leave the details about Shepard's revival for another time or maybe a  plot twist, I'm not going to judge them.

Nor will I judge them if my decision doesn't show significant change within the same minute, as they've said that they're saving those moments for the grand finale.

He kinda had a good point about the omni-blade doing no damage. What's up with that?

I'm sure they will include a nice codex entry on it.

Most likely a bug/non-optimized damage in an alpha-like build of a game months from release.

Since the demo is a pretty early version of the game, I'd guess it's a bug or something they hadn't fixed yet.

It didn't work too well in the E3 version of the demo if I remember correctly.  I don't think the problem was repeated at Comicon, Gamescon or PAX.

Yes it does.

Smudboy is just getting worked up for the one time it didn't in an old version of the game, that's all.:P

All the footage of it I've seen it worked perfectly fine.

It's in the link on the first post, the ME3 Marketing one. It's somewhere in that video.

2. Why couldn't you clone a neuron? A neuron is a brain cell. A brain cell has a nucleus, which has DNA. Therefore a brain cell can theoretically be cloned.


Soo you extract the DNA from a neuron(which is the exact same as all the other DNA in the body) and then what?
Are you suggesting that memories are stored in the DNA or something?Posted Image

Stem cells....

Like Someone with Mass (guess that's everyone?) said, it might have been a one timer thing even.

Oh my goodness...can't you realize it most probably was a bug?

I was really surprise that smudboy nitpicked that, silliest thing he ever criticized...y' know, he sometimes seems to be smart...

What, Smudboy nitpick something silly and pointless, and continue to harp on it long after it has been addressed?

Oh, wait, yeah.

Like I said many posts ago.. Everything that Smudboy mentioned about in the ME3 advirtising has been prove false, explained, and or is in the process of being. You guys do realize that the video he is gripping on is the very first gameplay ever shown of ME3 right? Holy crap Bioware is showing what they had done for a convention known as E3 where most people show off what they have got done so far?!? Scandalous! I played the demo multiple times while at Comic-Con and everything is he whined, nitpicked, and moaned over was explained.

Not everyone is attacking smudboy personally. I personally haven't said a thing about him. Many people in the thread are simply debating the points raised by the videos. It's been pretty civil in fact.


Seconded.

It's really cool that you stopped reading there,because it has been sorted out.
