As someone who just gave up on trying to get through Mass Effect Andromeda, a game that 100% should have been pushed back at least a year because shipping it on the inflexible release date produced a disaster that killed a franchise - good. If games need to be pushed back, they should be so.

True Elden Ring Lord ‘Let Me Solo Her’ Kills Malenia 1,000 Times

It’s a very simple fix, one that could save so much needless confusion.

I’ve been playing Mass Effect Andromeda recently and god what a disaster it is. The problem is that it’s a lot of really cool ideas and concepts repeatedly executed in the worst way possible, leading to a game where you jus runt around quietly screaming because why would you make your game like this? And it is, you…

There are some genuinely phenomenal moments: the famous bottle scene with Garrus, the curing of the genophage, making peace between Geth and Quarians, that conversation (if you pursued her) between Liarra and Shepard about little blue babies.

But what makes those scenes work is that they are all based on the primacy of …

And Jessica Chobot living in the Normandy’s Basement doing... space web content for morale????? How we talk about a game being satisfying when it features a major cameo from JESSICA CHOBOT (remmeber her? No? Shock!) and Ashley getting a huge boob job!

Oh, man, and then there’s a full on essay on why Bioware entirely failed to understand the appeal of its own franchise when it made the third game all about Earth, a planet you never visit in the prior two games and have zero investment in.

Yes, as a real human being in real life I care for the real Earth I live on,…

And I forgot that the original cut of the game has all the mass effect relays explode for some reason, a plot point that in the previous game was shown to be an apocalypse-level event that would wipe out an entire solar system and also end interstellar travel, and if I recall Bioware, amongst many, many, many other…

Hard disagree with the entire premise of the article, namely because none of the endings of ME3 are satisfying as they fundamentally ignore the premise of the previous 90+ hours of the game to that point unless you’d been a die-hard renegade who killed everything you came across (aka a brutish dolt of an asshole).

After…

I went back to Arkham City a few weeks ago. Got a few hours into it before I just gave up... it’s so actively unpleasant on so many levels, an utterly joys, actively misogynistic, brooding slog of a game where everything is grey, grey, and grey, and you are given the joy of constantly overhearing criminals say awful,…

Any word on if they’re bring back important Arkham series features like being constantly called a ‘bitch’ while playing as a female character modelled like a sex doll?

Editors Maryann Brandon and Stefan Grube also did a shit job. Yeah they may have had lousy footage to work with - but they put it together in a terrible way.

1. Let me clarify: he may know something about modern Egypt, but he is laughably, laughably ignorant on the culture, practices, and timeline of Ancient Egypt, which leaves us with things like Ancient Egyptians chanting their ancient magics in Coptic, a language that did not begin to emerge in Egypt until the first…

I gave up on episode three. Maybe it got better after that, but a show that centres itself around Egypt and Egyptian mythology and then shows zero understanding of it, coupled with an unlikeable main with no on-screen chemistry with his nominal love interest made it really hard to care what was happening.

She probably would have been more interesting than the female character we did get whose name I literally don’t remember.

Oh. No. What a terrible loss. A team-up between Marvel’s worst show and worst film: alas, what was taken from us by the uncaring fates.

Maybe in a couple of years we can get him to disown Moon Knight. I certainly would.

In hindsight, Amanda rapping Bobby Brown’s Humpin’ Around as her wedding vows was kind of a red flag.

Well, you enormous insensitive asshole, as a quick review of some of these other points will note, when you’re constantly told that VR is ‘the future’ and we’re all going to be forced to live in a big VR metaverse by tech companies, it is a teensy, teeny little problem that the whole technology underlying the thing is,…

Not in this context, no. It why I asked what is called a ‘question’ in order to ascertain more information on a subject on which I know little. The last time I paid any attention to VR they were still things you attached to computers, hence my note of surprise that this was no longer the case/

Now, thanks to people far…
