I bought PS4 yesterday for P5. Played P3 FES on PCSX2, P3P on PSP and PPSSPP and P4G on Vita. I also managed to pre-order P5 for 90 PLN which is about $23 because a Polish online multimedia store mistakenly included Persona 5 in a "Dixit board games at 65% off" promo. Wednesday can't come soon enough.

And big one. 75 metacritic score? That's terrible for a game like Mass Effect. I mean, we are talking about the franchise that still has the highest rated RPG ever made. Yep. New Vegas was made in 1,5 years (!!!) and still got over 80 score and pretty much the only criticism on the game was how buggy it was, yet Q&A was Bethesda's responsibility and not Obsidians, so the devs can be only partially blamed on that. Compare that to ME:A, five goddamn years of development and technical issues aside, the writing is like a bad teenage fanfiction. Inb4 "it's cute and Rydur is supposed to be young and inexperianced (nevermind the fact that they are both actually experianced, just not the the extent Shepard was) so that's why they act like an autistic retard and not like sane normal person in their early 20s". Being renegade or anything close to it is virtually gone if reviews are to be trusted on that matter, so from a dark-ish sope opera that was ME1 we've come to a story for kids where everyone is nice and good always prevails, with sex scenes for adults. I wonder if BioWare perhaps finally managed to nail down their most devout fans' identities? It certainly seems like that if we take /r/masseffect and most people here into consideration. I'd have a hard time finding a young adult novel with writing as bad as in this game. There are people writing fanfiction for free which are of much higher quality than this shit.

I know this game is not the original trilogy, and I never expected it to be. I wanted it to be it's own game. Why do so many people have such unrealistic standards for video games. One small insignificant thing, and it's one of the many subjects on the internet. "The covering system is different." "The worlds are too large." "Where's Shepard?" "The animation is terrible." "The characters are not like Shepard's squad." It never ends! Why can't they be happy with what they have? Mass Effect is my favorite video game series, and even I don't hold the original trilogy at such high esteem. How is having an expectation of a well polished game with good writing, cohesive story, lovable characters and plenty of customization options from a developer who was cranking out none stop GOTYs considered unrealistic? Stop being entitled /s

As for Ubisoft, pretty much all their games are so crap that you don't need reviews to know they will be medicore at best. I disagree. Ubisoft is one of the rare big studios that tries new things and succeeds. Latest example, For Honor. They make interesting, sometimes unconventinal stuff, like Far Cry with cavemen. I also like them for that. steamcharts.com/app/304390For Honor is going down and it's going down fast. P2P connection, rock-paper-scissors gameplay and nothing particularly standing out. They tried to make MOBA into an action game and pretty much failed on both fronts. People wanting action RPG will play Dark Souls which is much more complex and those wanting MOBA will keep playing MOBAs, because they're more complex as well. The game will keep casuals for a bit and they will leave like they leave every game after 1-2 months, while anyone looking for serious competitive game to invest time already realized or will realize soon that this game is not deep enough to provide that. Compare that to Siege which as I said, is the exception to Ubisoft rule: steamcharts.com/app/359550

So what about some credit for BioWare having a policy of sharing review copies and where the embargo dropped before launch? If the game was made by Ubisoft or Bethesda, you'd know nothing for days as the Reviewers would be battling through to play the game. At least this way, we can read the conflicting opinions and add those to our own personal choices. Fallout 4's reviews embargo was lifted day before release, so just like Andromeda. Doom had review embargo imposed until release, but the game turned out amazing (at least the single player part, but it's no wonder MP sucked since the game doesn't belong to consoles). As for Ubisoft, pretty much all their games are so crap that you don't need reviews to know they will be medicore at best. Siege is the only exception, but it only got better after many patches and strong competitive play focus (which means it was possible to fix the problems, unlike in story-driven single player games where you can't fix narrative and writing problems), and there are still many issues with the game to this day (and each patch that fixes something breaks something else). I mean, with the amount of controversy behind the game for quite some time already, putting release embargo would be a death blow to them. They took a gamble and imo it payed off, since despite some realistic low-score reviews, most sites gave them high score anyway. I wonder what the sales will be though.

I certainly think that's part of it. Bioware Montreal was in an impossible position. I said it in another thread but Mass Effect means a lot of different things to everyone, it'd be very hard for them to meet that. Another part of it though I think has to do with Open World games. The scope of the game was too large and aspects of the game suffered for it. Maybe its time for them to return to a more "intimate" type of game rather than going after that Skyrim money (that they never were going to get in the first place). Regardless of the reviews, I'm still looking forward to it. I just can't stand those people who are in the irrational part of the hate trend towards BioWare. No matter what BioWare does, they will hate and hate some more. BioWare is unfairly in a No Win Scenario.As opposed to those people who are the irrational part of the love trend towards BioWare and will defend them no matter they do? Each game they release is arguably worse than the previous one yet people will still defend them. No wonder the gaming industry is in such a shitty state right now if developers and publishers can do virtually anything they please and as long as they have a big name behind them people will still buy their games in millions. People have no respect for themselves these days it seems. You go ahead and buy it, just don't be surprised if next BioWare game is even more shit than this one. After all, why would they try if you will buy the game regardless.

This writing I want to get paid for writing such things as well. I'm 100% sure I'll do better than that and I'll settle for 1000 euro per month salary, plz hire me BW. JK, I'm a white conservative liberal straight male, there's no way I'll get hired by them. This writing is so fucking bad I don't even. This is trash fanfiction written by a 14 year old level, seriously, the cringe amount couldn't have been higher. Harem anime has more realistic romance-related dialogue than this shit. I guess the bigger they are the harder they fall is ever true in regards to BW. Good thing there are many RPG alternatives on the market right now (not much in regards to Sci-Fi though sadly). I'm not touching this game with a 20 meters pole and a 40 meters extension. Big studios need to finally realize that they can't get away with everything just because they have big brand name behind them. Unless people give a clear message and don't buy AAA games with glaring issues, every next game will be worse because there's literally no reason for them to improve.

I could listen to this guy's accent whole day. He also tears the game apart. From what I saw in another thread, he also didn't have a good opinion of TW3. Is that true? Yes. He literally says everything that's good and bad in every game he reviews and then says whether he enjoyed it or not. This means that for example despite shitting on FO4 for a good part of video, he eventually said he enjoyed it regardless of the problems. That's not the case with ME:A though. Most of the flak TW3 got from him was for combat, which is valid imo.

I was so hype until the CC reveal. Now Im hype for cyberpunk 2077 I am sure their character creator will be good. Did they confirm that game will have either a CC or gender choice? Early Polish interviews had them saying it will have gender selection and character appearence customization, but the game's so far from release that nothing should be taken for granted.

...Are you American? Is it maybe an American thing? Because if someone told me here that I was being derogatory by using the term 'female' I would side eye the fuck out of them. I'm not trying to be a dick, I've just never encountered this in the UK. I suspect women in the UK don't appreciate it either. Honestly, do you really think "I suspect females in the UK don't appreciate it" sounds exactly the same? It doesn't; it's not a normal usage; the term "female" is being selected on purpose. If I had to guess at the etymology of the term as a noun I'd trace it back to American hip-hop 10-15 years ago. Rappers referred to women as "females," and this was done in a derogatory/possessive sense, as if they were "lesser than" men. Men also had pseudo-ownership over them, as if they were pets. When I see the use in a student's paper today it is ALWAYS in a male student's paper, and always from a student who is from a rural area. Similarly, only rural students (both genders) use "homosexual" instead of "gay." And what do you call Ryedrs? MRyder and FemRyder not Woman Ryder and Man Ryder. Whether female fits or doesn't in a sentence depends on the case. Where I used I felt it worked just fine, whereas I'd never use it in your example because it just doesn't fit.

I don't know what you mean. I'm not a native speaker and I can't spot anything wrong in my use of female, unless I was supposed to use women instead? I thought female would work too. Sorry, we usually associate the usage of "female" as a noun with guys objectify women. Like how some conservatives call gay people "homosexuals" or "the gays" rather than gay people. That's the first time I hear about it and that was not my intention.

I love how this all started becuase some guys are mad they can't romance all 4 females. I won't be even getting the game so I'm hardly mad (and no, I'm not not getting the game because I can't romance all 4 females, my decision doesn't have anything to do with romances actually).

There will bo also hundreds of non-represented nations, religions and God knows what else. Who the fuck cares? I don't cry that Polish people aren't represented in games even if there's no reason for it. So long as females get to romance other females I really don't understand how whether she can be romanced by males as well is of any relevance if Suvi's past romantic life isn't brought up (meaning there's no indication she was ever with a man before). Did you just unironically use "female" as a noun? God, you're really not helping your case here, buddy. I don't know what you mean. I'm not a native speaker and I can't spot anything wrong in my use of female, unless I was supposed to use women instead? I thought female would work too.

Where did your belief in equality go all of sudden? Why shouldn't other orientations be represented as well? Equal options for romanceable characters; I would sprinkle the other orientations throughout NPCs. But NPCs aren't as important as main characters. It's hardly equal then. You people corner yourself too easily with your equality beliefs. Live and let live, if it doesn't affect you in any way, leave it be. Instead of being angry that some of f/f options are also m/f, ask for more f/f options, it's simple as that.

Being mad that others have more options even though it doesn't affect you in any way. Rotfl, classy. But lesbians would be the only main orientation with no representation if Suvi is bi. There will bo also hundreds of non-represented nations, religions and God knows what else. Who the fuck cares?

Or the flirt option isn't there if you're too aggressive in your anti-religiousness. The flirt option for Scott in PAX video was during different conversation that the one we've seen in the videos.

I still have trauma from playing a smuggler in SWTOR. New options literally every planet... all of them straight. lol I just played as a woman in that game, female Sith Inquisitor specifically. That said it was ridiculous that there were no gay romances at all to start with and when they did finally add them it was just a couple of NPC's on one planet. That said the KOTFE/KOTET expansions did a lot better and are also a lot better than the base game in general. KOTFE and KOTET are definitely not better than the base game. In regards to romance, most likely yes, especially for people who didn't want straight romances, but when it comes to story it was definitely worse than most class arcs. Imperial Agent has probably the best written story out of all classes (and unsurprisingly BioWare fired its author when they were making cuts in human resources, way to go). One of the biggest sins of KOTFE and KOTET is that the story doesn't make any sense for non-force users. The world of Star Wars literally resolves around the force and an Imperial Agent, Bounty Hunter, Republic Soldier or (rotfl) Smuggler ruling an empire after defeating dozens of elite force-users and the fucking Vitiate (Sith Emperor) himself is absolutely laughable.

It doesn't matter whether she believes in interventionist or non-interventionist god so long as she doesn't explain any of her research with god's activities. It can definitely make a difference on how she sees the world, but it doesn't have to influence her work. As long as she follows the scientific method, her work should be fine. I'm just disappointed in the seeming lack of an intelligent way to probe her on her views. Maybe if you're more conciliatory, she'll open up more. I hope so. That's what happens when your responses are limited to four (or in the case of this particular game it seems to be even less - two) and even then each is in completely different tone than the other. That's why I much prefer to play Obsidian's classic RPGs where you often have 6-8 responses and there are also often multiple ways of saying the same thing (bluntly, evasive, apologetic, etc.). That's the true RPG experiance. Tyranny is awesome in that regard. The number of responses you have in each conversation is amazing and they also often require you to have a certain relationship with a character or faction to have effect, so no "I've treated you like shit for the whole game, but now I'll ask nicely and you'll do what I say". Certain parties will be immediately hostile if you treated them badly before, while if you treated them right you can avoid conflict here and there. It's really great.

No question that you can be a good scientist with faith. There have been and are plenty, although these days they are in the minority. The simple question to ask is whether she believes that God can and does currently intervene in the universe, because that is incompatible with science, since you can never know which experiment he may have intervened in. If she believes in a non-interventionist god, then when and why did he stop intervening? Are there exceptions? How do you control for those? There are interesting conversations to be had, and they don't start from what Ryder said. It doesn't matter whether she believes in interventionist or non-interventionist god so long as she doesn't explain any of her research with god's activities. It can definitely make a difference on how she sees the world, but it doesn't have to influence her work.

So has anything happened regarding Suvi since this afternoons leaks? Not really. Femryder flirted with her but MRyder didn't. Not sure if there's no choice to or what but it seems almost confirmed that she is lesbian. Especially since we found out PeeBee and vetra are bi and Cora is straight. This is bioware so that means we are overdue for a lesbian character... The choice is definitely there for Scott as it could be seen on the PAX stream. We're just yet to see anyone show what happens when you choose it.
