Another shitty gif. And you guys questioned my age level? lol Guess I shouldn't have expected anything above such primitive personalities. I don't think you're interpreting the behavior correctly. People respond with gifs when they're not taking someone seriously. Maturity has little to do with it. |

I may have said it, but I most likely wouldn't. I would turn her over to Nexus security and let her explain why she used Initiative property for going after something for a project while endangering the life of the pathfinder. If they were to ask what punishment would be best for her. Send her to H-047C to help mine Helium-3. If that doesn't work, put her back in cyro. Thanks why, did you work for mass effect or what service do you talk? lol, americans, religiously overpraising people for doing their job, usually to the detriment of everyone not american.
well, back to topic.. I like MEA because it reminds me of ME1.. I like me2 but more as some sort of mini-story anthology because the cerberus shit was stupid, the collector twist obvious, the "consequences" were totally arbitrary and worthless and the great companions had not enough to say, so much that they made a meme out of garrus lack of talking. Saying a quick subtle thanks to someone I figured was a veteran after having multiple discussions via forum is religiously overpraising? great post otherwise. |

Your criticisms of something I like hold no effect over my enjoyment of said thing nor does it effect my decisions going forward. For every criticism laid forth unto ME:A I can easily pick the same holes in the OT. It simply amazes me how much of an effect nostalgia has on public reception. That being said, I am certainly not the immature one when you claim anyone with a differing opinion is a fanboy. You seem to forget that you aren't the second coming of Christ and what you say is of little consequence to anyone but you. You get so triggered over an obviously shitty meme and a differing opinion that your first wave of attack is ad hominem detritus. It's so cringey. Kind of bad if a 2017 game has the same issues as one in 2007 is it not? What's the point of better technology and upgrading the engine? Shouldn't previous experience help out as well (banter bug)? It also tells me people don't care about a game improving (bug wise) just cause another has/had the same issue. Ultimately the OTs flaws are irrelevant because they're history (emphasis on history, in the past) and not part of the present or the future where as Andromeda is the present where those flaws matter now, hence why animation issues have been getting fixed, why weapons are getting tune ups, and why a variety of other things are getting fixed. so it's bad if you're able to point out flaws in the OT that are still in the newer game. not really. Modern games...especially in this case...are much larger and more complicated. I've heard people say they've put one hundred and twenty five hours into MEA. That's three times more play time then ME 1. Plus the relative youth of a lot of the devs. Plus the shoehorn budget they had to work with. PLUS you're basically talking about creating an entire virtual world. And its small wonder the same technical issues just keep cropping up. But from a non technical harder to define personal preference sort of deal? MEA has a better story (so far) better combat way better RP and a more philosophical bent. It brings up.many of the same issues as the OT but actually pauses to examine them where the OT just moved onto the next action set piece. Though the OT had better character writing but given all the world building Andromeda did that's hardly surprising. |

I would completely agree. The problem is that instead of constructive crits, we get a useless circlejerk Reddit-style and autistic screeching coming from the type of people who review bombed the game on Metacritic with 1s and 0s. My point is how easy it is for people to overlook shit because of nostalgia and how much the circlejerk puts the OT on a golden pillar. It's about perspective. Like how you overlooked the big pile of shit that's Andromeda? :lmfao:  |

It differs? If it did differ, it probably "differ" as much as ME3's tri-colored ending, because I barely noticed. Then again, I don't really give a shit about Andromeda, so what do I care? :lmfao: It's a shitty game either way. Pretty much the only differences was who helped you in the end fight. Salaran pathfinder or Krogan scouts? Did you do people's loyalty missions or no? Which Asari pathfinder will also be in the end fight. Pretty mediocre for choices mattering if you ask me and that's part of why I don't feel much for them mattering, especially if bioware holds true to their word on choices not carrying over into other games as much. (Still said to hold onto our saves just in case however). I'm not to surprised though cause making choices carry over into sequels makes things pile on top of each other in the next game and eventually you get ME3 where various decisions really didn't matter because of how hard it was to make them relevant. You also get a scene regarding the Kett traitors (if you want to help them or not.) More reinforcements from the Kadara missions and I think more. |

That doesn't sound much different from the way DA:O's endgame functioned. Of course, DA:O's endgame was probably one of the most epic, I felt, in BioWare's most recent titles. But still, the ending was always the same, save for the Warden's fate, but ultimately the choices you made just affected which forces you saw on the field, but it functioned largely the same. I thought that was pretty satisfying, myself. |

The question I have is how DA:O works for someone but ME:A does not work for him. I'm coming around to thinking that the substance of choices isn't nearly as important as the illusion of agency. So how did DA:O have a better illusion?

People respond with gifs when they're not taking someone seriously. Maturity has little to do with it. I wonder, if someone responds with a gif because "not taking stuff seriously" instead of arguments, what example exactly do they put? Shall they be taken seriously? Also there is a big difference between a gif and a gif. It is said a picture says more then a thousand words, there are gifs like this, which express what one mean more then any word you could find. But then, there are gifs that ooze with sarcasm and are only mean to attack and diss someone ( Fen'Harel Faceman is notoriuos for the latter, I havent seen one of his gifs to say more then just be an attack). |

This is what happened: Unsubstantiated claim > counter-argument > derogative tirade > another counter argument and GIF > new tirade > GIF. If a certain someone had indeed started with an argument based in reality instead of an unsubstantiated claim there would have been no need for GIFs. Still a nice GIF is always a nice way to spice up life.  |

Not that i do not agree or anything because ME 1,2,3 all trump MEA for me. Again though i do not care for graphics but for the story they are trying to tell.
Buuuuuuut why is this thread still a thing?.. 😂
Both sides will not convince the other.. something about banging two rocks together.😆

Saying a quick subtle thanks to someone I figured was a veteran after having multiple discussions via forum is religiously overpraising? great post otherwise. not here, but in general.. I put this into spoilers because its off topic, if you liek you can pm me.. No hard feelings? idk, for someone not american all this seem just very weird?
Like the thing in that signature.. and.. wella gain for someone not american who sees what ugly effects some of that american interventionism had..
like.. praise all you want, maybe I should be thankful, there are people who i've never had met hadn't the US encouraged the assassination of a democratically elected leader and instatement of a dictator (who in turn forced people to flee the country, coming here which led to me meeting them..)
So I always think.. I dont get why there is this amount of pride behind it? Also because the army of my country was, around 80 years ago, the worst genocidal bunch of shistains ever and so I'm hesitant to affirm that because..damn that was bad. I cant be proud of that because I know what horrible shit happens.. and those people thought that what they did was right too.
I feel the last great shit the US army did was rid the world from our army.
We humans are soo good at lying to ourselves..
But thats nothing against any of you people personally? Like I dont like armies and shit but thats again nothing personal, you do you. |

I lolled. To be honest, it is worth buying, playing for 2 hours, and refunding this "masterpiece" just for the sheer kek value. I did after watching the YouTuber, Rags, play it and I haven't laughed so hard since.  |
