Fate of the Quarian Ark, through Comics and Novels??

A tantalus core...

I should read that book, it's been awhile since I've been really outraged about something.

TES is not the only game to do that. FarCry, Final Fantasy (for the most part), Assassin's Creed (again, for the most part), Unreal, Quake, GTA, Alien, etc.

It is also very emotionally draining. I can understand the writers wanting to do something new every time, maybe they are just bored of the characters they wrote or do not connect with them anymore due to a change in their mental/emotional state. But it is also draining for me to be asked to relate with different people all the time, fictional or real and it is difficult to re-establish such a connection every time. It's why Bruce Wayne is still the batman after, I don't know, 50-60 years? Why we still have Superman comic books, etc. It's a testament more to human condition, I think, rather than people's ability or inability to just move on.

Hear hear. Those clanless are nothing but trouble. I say send them all to work at a factory that packs nutrient paste. Just be sure to equip them with suits with no pockets.

Thieves. All of them.

I am generalising. For example, I might like Hitler (not literally). I know Hitler is bad, but I very much like what he did for Germany at the time and its people. Someone argues with me that Hitler was the man that threw the entire world into a war that claimed millions of lives, commited unspeakable war crimes, tortured and executed people. Now, being stubborn and close minded, I will disregard that and continue thinking that Hitler is actually a pretty nice guy. A few days later, I re-examine that someone's arguments and realise that he is actually pretty goddamn right and Hitler is actually Satan. Through that process, I have broadened my mind, allowing myself to view things from a scope that isn't necessarily my own. So next time, when someone presents me with such an argument I can be more receiving to his views, try to tone down my own stubborness and that is something that I will have to be aware constantly and struggle with it actively, whenever I argue with someone again. In that way, I am bettering myself. I think this is a pretty common trait in humans, as we are often reluctant to embrace new ideas and views that change the way we see things politically, socially, economically and even scientifically. If I am mistaken in this, I don't think Galileo stating the Earth is round would cause such backlash from the Church.


Sure.I'm not asking her to hate the game. I am asking her if she can re-review it. I could go into, I hate to return to it as an example, ELEX and say "yeah, man, it's a fantastic game. Open world, great characters, so immersive, all that lore and the gameplay! It even has jetpacks! 10/10". And it would be true to me. For me it hits all the right spots. As a game, as an experience for someone else, who is not into these type of games, does it still hold up? No. The graphics are outdated, the writing is superfluous and poor, the lore is uninteresting and stitched, the controls are "janky", as it has been scrutinized before, but the level design is actually pretty good and Piranha Bytes is very good at placing interesting things throughout the map and making you want to explore those landmarks. It is a mediocre game, that I'd give it a 5/10 objectively and I still love it, whereas I'd give Andromeda a similar 5/10, but the difference is that Andromeda failed to capture me.


Anyone who wants to play Andromeda regardless, either because of studio/brand loyalty, Bioware experience, love for all things sci-fi etc. can and should do so. Like I said, though, should I be talking to recommend, again sorry for the example, ELEX, I cannot fot the heart of me say "it's a great game, fuck the haters", because that's simply not true and the game isn't really all that good, regardless of my enjoyment of it.


I am 100% with you on that one. Personal opinion, of course, I am sure Jade would disagree with the both of us.
