I haven't looked at ME3 since I finished it. Sold my copy. And sometimes sadly glance at 1 & 2, wondering if there's any reason not to put them in the attic.

Speaking of bummed, I can't buy an electronic copy of Assassin's Creed (the original) on the xbox any more. That really sucks, bc I wanted to play it wo having to dig out the disk.

I keep all 3 MEs just to show my grandchildren, one day, how and why the gaming industry went from quality to quantity, and crashed

Hi CaptN... I wouldn't say the gaming industry crashed... Just bioware. And hopefully someday EA for causing that. Then again, EA released Kingdoms of Amalur. While not ME, it's a fun game. ( sry - bought it BEFORE the decision to boycott EA products). But The Witcher 2 is really good. It has some old school drawbacks, like KoTOR style where you were always in walled off areas w very little open field gaming. Kind of xbox (not 360 ) level memory for locations. But the fighting is challenging, the quests are fun, and MAN could they teach bioware something about your decisions matter. I messed up something in the first 5 minutes and am still suffering the consequences (lower health!) hours and hours in. Someone gives me a quest opportunity and I don't know whether to take it or not! What if it curses me?

Hey CaptnO,how are you this night?

Hiya!  When i talked about gaming industry crashing, i was merely thinking about a previous rant i made on the thread. I just think that if the industry keep going into the direction they've taken, it'll crash; but that's personnal thought and nothing else.

I've played and finish Kingdoms of Amalur, though i felt it was rather forgettable, it was an entertaining and relatively well made game (except for a few annoying game crashing bugs i had, but again, that's rather personnal as the game disc wasn't new). 

I have yet to get the Witcher 2 and play it, but everyone seems to love it, or at least find it very entertaining/fun. I just love games where your decisions actually affect the gameplay.

I'm feeling great! Thanks for caring  And you, doing well as well? 
As a side note, to adress what you said previously, i want to play ME1, but i just can't do it. It just doesnt matter anymore, and that's a game breaking mood!

Yes, KoA was definitely forgettable. And the story didn't mean a thing to me. But running around smashing stuff, getting new weapons, and leveling up was fun. =) kind of a lower level Borderlands.

I know what you mean though. The piecemeal add-on work collaring you to death for stuff that should have been in the game is getting crazy. ( I don't mind paying for real dlc. Like Lair of the Shadowbroker. Or the asteroid crash one for ME1.). The way everything is converging into one game type (part TPS, part story, part mmo, part RPG) is actually making everything generic. It's to appeal to everyone but ... It messes everything up. None of us can just have what we want.

[Aviditie]

Ooh oh but yes The Witcher 2 has made me want to go back and read the books! and your decisions *matter*. Trust me. ;-)

[Ihatebadgames]

It was fun to have no worry about "Thermal Clips".The only thought I had about 3 was when Udena(how ever he's spelled)yells at Shepard I'm thinking "laugh it up cause in 3 years I'm gonna nail your hide."Nice having an upbeat ending.

[Aviditie]

Bad games - yes! I miss the no thermal clips, truly new-agey gun play where your RPG stats as a weapon holder counted. That's why ME 1 was always my fav. That and it had the best story. :-)

[Laterali]

Any news today? Any ambiguous tweets to dissect? I'm trying to stay off this thread more from now on, I spend too much time on here.

I'll instead be spending my time going back through DAO, and breaking in my "new" Mosin-Nagant that's getting shipped to me.

In the US only two books have been translated, The Last Wish and Blood of Elves. I really enjoyed both of them and am hoping the rest get translated. Should be awesome.

Hehe, don't tell Atrocity you're getting one, she'll go nuts.

I didn't know - which language were they originally written in?

[Ihatebadgames]

Well fellow customers of BW,it is 12:54a.m. Time to hit the hay.Play nice and hold the line and the wallets!

[Aviditie]

I havent been on in 3 weeks or so. Just checked in to see if the hate is alive and thriving as I hope. That the decision to hold the Lin or wallet is still strong and so forth. The energy to rage for too long ruins my life but the distaste for the end will never go away. :-)

So I dont know about any tweets being dissected. I've decided to hell with their attempts to offer olive branches while slapping me. That's just, as CaptN would say, personal. :-o

Yup. That's one thing that agitates me. It's when people act like making a game where your decisions mattered was somehow impossible, when it's been done already more than once. Forget implementing what you did in ME 1 and 2  for a second, and the game can't even keep it's own decisions in check. It's sad really.

But for some reason a lot of people seem to be cool with Bioware not delivering on the promise of the series, because it's something they could never achieve in the first place. That's BS, and I know at least Bioware knows that.

and thats why i wont buy anything from bioware anymore, til they fixed this! its everything but impossible to do it!

g - that's one of the things that broke my heart about 3. They didn't even make killing off the rachni queen or not actually matter. What *really* mattered other than whether Kaiden or Ashley died from 1?

Give the info to the shadow broker in 1? No. Send Cerberus its data back, keep it for yourself/EDI, or send it to the alliance? No. Lose a squad mate in 2? Replaced with generic person. The choices don't affect any actual gameplay. Nothing is harder, or easier. They pretty much abandoned renegade or paragon. It's all so...

Frustrating. And not what they promised. I would still have played the #%^* out of 1&2 bc they were fun games, but I wouldn't have been so careful about having made different decisions with each Shepard for 3.

[Aviditie]

Thor I don't think they can fix - strike that - WILL fix the ending, let alone actually make your decisions matter.

They are just going to explain away everything, pretend there's an upbeat ending, and continue to not even have the heart to follow through with their own writing (I.e. Shepard waking up w armour on and crew members from final run crash landing) bc nobody except 1-2 people wanted it to end like they wrote it.

I still can't believe they tried to pass off the green ending, btw. Ugh.

[Atrocity]

Pfft, if I wanted guns in my real life, I just need to go visit my granddad, he has plenty, for hunting and handguns

[VivaLaWhatsername]

I like having Thermal Clips, the over-heating guns in ME1 drove me mad, Because once it was over heated you had to wait till it cooled down again....who wants to stand WAITING, when you could just run and get more thermal clips which there are plenty of.

[Atrocity]

As a sniper and as an adept I can't say the waiting really bothered me in ME. I enjoy knowing my exact shot capacity in ME2 and 3 though.

[Aviditie]

Yeah but how does technology go BACKWARDS and give up guns that require bullets. And if it's really thermal clips, why can't I elect NOT to use them and use the good old standard guns?

My dad is an avid gun collector. He always liked to show them to any guy I brought home, but he also taught me to use them. They aren't as fun in real life. The dont just hit the stuff you mean to hit. You can hurt somebody! (sry had to say that :-P)
