Can't wait for games to turn into reality sims.  I'm not even a GTA fan... last one I liked was GTA III, hated 4, haven't even played GTA 5  But....

 

In GTA, if someone cuts you off in traffic... you can pull out a bazooka and blow them to smithereens. Then when the cops come, you can find a nice 'blind' and pick them off one by one, till you get bored and hit a cheat code that makes them leave you alone so you can go about your day as if nothing happened.

 

If the PC police have their way, when that jagoff cuts you off in traffic, we'll get a quick time event, that if entered correctly, will allow us to mutter under our breath so our children in the backseat can't hear us cuss.  Then we'll receive a call from the player's wife (that we'll have to answer via hands-free blue-tooth, or face loss of points), asking us to pick up milk on the way home.  Another correctly played QTE will lead us to replying 'Yes, honey' (no wait, that's sexist.  It'll just be a full, standard name).  Then we can 'go home', change some diapers and rub the wife's feet.  Achievement whores (such an un-pc term) can earn points by finding every piece of change hidden in couches, as well as finding the 'lost purple hair band'.

 

It will be SO FREAKING RAD!!!!!

Hale does voices in a ton of things and has appeared in several videogames. It would not be surprising to see her voicing a role in the game that's not Shepard.

 

I'd love to see both Meer and Hale return for VA work, but voicing someone other than Shepard.

 

You'd just have to give them alien roles where they wouldn't be immediately recognizeable. Meer as a Turian for example and Hale as a Krogan.

This is silly and you should feel embarrassed for writing it. Hyperbole is not an argument.

 

Why does your escapist power fantasy need to have zero female characters who aren't strippers, sex workers, bimbo girlfriends or nagging wives? Is that a necessary part of enjoying the experience of blowing up cars with a bazooka? You can't seriously claim the game is better for ignoring women except as sex objects or foils for the male protagonists. 

 

Why would removing the worst of the misogyny and putting in some three-dimensional women lead to a sudden flood of realism? That's an absurd argument. People aren't asking for a life simulation, they're asking that the game not go out of its way to ignore or denigrate half the world's population. There's no relationship between wanting a serious female character in GTA and wanting to turn the game into a joyless experience. 

 

And frankly, if your reaction to anything that threatens the status quo of gaming is to dream up horror stories of political correctness ruining everything, you're going to have a deeply difficult time adjusting to a real world where that view is at best hopelessly outdated, and more probably shunned.

Damn, levels confirmed.

 

There goes my pipe dream that Montreal was spending three years on next-gen Mass Effect Solitaire. 

Technically, even playing Solitaire would still take place inside a game level asset...

[dead_goon]

I'm guessing something as simple as a name and sequel/prequel/whatever is too much to ask 

Ah but a name & timeline for the games setting is anything but simple, if they only told us the name & setting ( sequel/prequel/what ever ) this place would go into an utter frenzy of speculation.

You're being silly. No surprise though..

 

I said I don't even like GTA.  In actuality, the only games I seem to play now are the ME trilogy... which has fairly well realized characters of both sexes, even if they are over-sexualized for no reason at all (sexy combat armor ftw).  You asserting that I NEED such thing in games, just shows how narrow minded and tunnel visioned a self-righteous blowhard can be.

 

I simply feel that that speeches about such things in entertainment are intellectual masturbation.  I feel no need to shun people who enjoy GTA on a simple, escapist level.  What does that achieve?  Should we sit around and cry that other people are making entertainment that we don't agree with?  Should we burn books/games?  Ban rap music?  Should we legally force or just simply shame companies into creating themes that 'you' agree with?  Who decides what values are valuable?  Why is your value system better than the other guy's? Get real.

 

Long story short... stop complaining about games that don't fit your sensibilities, and create/play the ones that do.  That simple.

The idea behind installing a like system was probably to promote a healthier and more positive relationship between forumites, as I know that was a huge goal of the team's with the overhaul. So, probably.

But as QA, console commands are my favourite part!

Barrett Rodych@ForgedPixels: Random curiosity: how few of us at BioWare have worked on all the Mass Effects to date? Might have to investigate next week just to know...

With any luck Meer will return to continuing voicing Every Vorcha.

Tweet from Dec 9: What do you guys think about releasing an ME Trilogy remaster for PS4/XB1? 1080p/high-res textures/60fps, etc? @YanickRRoy @AarynFlynn

 

Aaryn Flynn replied today...: @shinobi602 @YanickRRoy We have discussed that internally. If we can put solid plans together we'll share. Great to hear you're keen

 

YES YES YES! But for PC too, please

To these "remasters" I say, "the ****'s the point?"

 

I can do this all on PC now, and the games aren't really old enough that all this would make a big difference for anyways. It's not worth it to buy the same game over, and this goes for any and every game released in the past two generations. Do an updated version for hard to find games like Ehrgeiz or something.

[MrDbow]

Sales say otherwise.

 

Tomb Raider, which came out for 360/PS3 in 2013, got a "remastered" version (Definite Edition) with DLC (mostly multiplayer related) packed in and sold very well for PS4 and XB1; despite the fact that there was already a "superior" version available on PC since its launch.

I don't, however, because that would be highly inappropriate for the workplace. But in my head, I'm doing it.

Some of our moms really are levels, guys, some of us being of Platformish descent and all? So can we please keep things strictly two-dimensional here?

And before anyone asks, yes, I am "forced" into a strict diet of bananas, mushrooms and energy tanks. But I take issue with the typical phrasing. I happen to enjoy bananas, mushrooms and energy tanks, and frankly, I'm proud of my ability to shoot balls of fire at people.

it is nice. i like the aquarium.

 

but i loved that view we got from the apt in Citadel. The cars flying by so closely and the colors. i also liked it being 2 story w/that waterfall wall, and giant fireplaces. nice backroom for poker, and what not.
