This is why there's no DLC

da.

Very true. I used a lot of Vietnam-era M-16's during training as well - was not impressed. Later versions fixed the problems, for the most part.

The AK-47's performed very well in comparison through the jungle dirt and grime of combat, that's one of the reasons they're so famous. 

Oh shit, you're right.

Just report posts if you think they're too nasty. The mods can't be in all places at all times, it helps them out to use that button. 

Hmmm.....so I guess the game didn't survive the initial hiccups and backlash afterwards...I guess the obscure silence and all of this speaking in codes..."Are people still working at Montreal/Edmonton?...."yep"..etc...stringing the fans along, but to be fair, I guess it's possible they (Bioware/devs) didn't know what EA was going to decide......I think it is true that if the game released in the state it's in now, it could have survived and incorporated a DLC, but the game was criticized for it's characters and storyline by respected review sites separate from the animation and technical glitches......two things that Bioware are strongly known for and the game was lacking on both fronts.


Anthem looks good, but i'm not really looking forward to it in the way I would of another Mass Effect game and being that Anthem's story is going to take a backseat in favor of multiplayer gameplay type themes, i'm not really excited for Anthem in the way I would be for another Mass Effect game, because I already know what Anthem is going to be.

Blame is all on EA for releasing a game that was not ready and Bioware because of the mis-management the game went through during it's production which lead to game that was lacking in story and implemented a cast of boring characters......repeating myself, but eh, I still thought the game would get DLC and again, art direction and overall design are stunning in this game.

this is why it's called idiotnet man.

I'm pretty certain I read developers at Bioware say they decided themselves to do something different for DA:2 and break the mould. It stands to reason because even if Bioware were getting complaints regarding epic stories, it wasn't many. Nowhere near enough to change a tried and true formula for, anyway. 

EDIT: Are you confusing the criticism of "predictable hero journey" with "same old epic formula"? Cause they're two different things. Origins was criticised for being a predictable heroic story, but I've very rarely heard them criticised for being too epic xD

I'll refrain from all the P320 memes that seem to be going around

I kind of like 1911s. Sure, Glocks are the modern thing, but it would feel iffy to carry with a round chambered and no thumb safety. And I HATE long (Double action) triggers with a passion. The 1911 is a single action and the trigger is said to behave accordingly, with a very short pull. This is the reason I wouldn't go with a CZ75, as common as they are here. You have to pull the trigger for about half a mile before it goes off! So from the well-known guns, the 1911 actually seems to fit what I like the most, though I have heard a lot of good about the Rex Zero. Should take a look at that I guess.

Oh well. I need to save up only a considerable amount for the license alone!


Ryder has more pouches that can be used for storing equipment, but in ME2 you could actually get pieces that looked like the N7 armor with pouches on it. I liked that and used it near exclusively.


Well, that applies in the US where the walls aren't as strong. In Europe, the buildings have sturdier inside walls, resulting in you needing a much more powerful round to penetrate the wall. You should be perfectly fine with a 9mm in Europe. In fact, the .45 is said to be (may not be accurate with modern 9mm Luger ammo) more effective on target and being subsonic should be worse in penetrating objects. You should always consider a balance, however, in case the thief hides right behind a door intending to force you into close quarters. In that case, simply penetrating the door to get to the thief on the other side would be preferable. Not to mention surprising, and I LOVE surprises!


As a matter of fact, you can use a canteen to transport eggnog in combat conditions. As an added bonus, most fit either on MOLLE (somehow, probably by field rigging) or your belt (should work normally, unless you have a warbelt with MOLLE and shitton of kit on it)


The AN-94 is certainly interesting. The stock/grip placement is rather unconventional to me (the grip reaches into under the stock, as opposed to the traditional completely under the body position). What is also interesting is the recoil system, and the two-round burst mode that's meant to put the second round down range before any recoil can be perceived (and thus the muzzle can climb).


DA! URA! ZA RODINU, V ATAKU!


It didn't help that the XM16E1 was intended as a self-cleaning rifle, while actually being one of the most demanding rifles of it's time.


Well, it's because...



(sorry...)

I think it just proves BioWare's fanbase is filled with triggered snowflakes after all.
