The non-ME3 games recently enjoyed by ME3MPrs

Yeah..."Remember Me" was a decent game and it had impressive visuals...i still thought it's fighting mechanic needed a bit more polishing.....i wouldn't have been mad if they went the "Batman AC" route in terms of fighting style...a bit more smoother and combos would have been more transitional in nature. Too bad we didn't get a sequel.....



I do have their follow up "Life is Strange" and i need to finish that at some point... 

So just beat this game two days ago. I pre-ordered the PS4 version because I'm an old school Sega fan and wanted that Sonic statue on top of a Sega Genesis no matter what. My thoughts on the game? Well, I was let down, what else is new in these post Star Wars The Fanservice Awakens days.


"Give. Me. Genesis!"

Lately im playing a lot of World of Tanks, for some reason i love the AAP

I tried it, until I got stuck in the map
Will try it again, but more interested in ME3 alt account at the moment.

Solo or team plans?

I tend to describe Origin as more tactical combat, with DA2 as more ENGAGING combat. I wont comment on the story and such, as I have a minority opinion on that, but I found that DA:O had more tactical/strategic potential, but DA2 hide the turn based better, making it feel more like an action game (ala DMC, Prototype, etc). Neither is objectively better, just one is more engaging, one is more rewarding planning and forethought (I like both approaches).

Just finished XCOM: Enemy Unknown. It's one of the hundred odd games sitting untouched in my Steam library for a couple of years. I blame ME3MP for taking up almost all my gaming time. Better than the original XCOM: UFO Defense which is a classic.

Played it, had some fun, wasn't that impressed though. I expected more I guess. I played Hunter first, then Warlock. I preferred the revolvers and sniper rifle of the Hunter but didn't like the skills too much. Wish they had given you the option to choose your default loadout because I would have enjoyed a Voidwalker Warlock combined with the weapons of the Hunter. Overall I think they should have put a little more effort into classes and skills. And the movement feels sluggish at times. Different classes have different movement or jump mechanics but nothing really felt good. I need more speed, dashes and double jumping for ALL characters. Blink for example never really worked well to a point where I just did not use it because of how unreliable it was. I wish there were more shooters with the awesome movement of Shadow Warrior 2...

I haven't tried Lawbreakers. It never really impressed me with any of the material I saw during development. I have watched some reviews and none of the reviewers were really happy with the game and I could totally understand why (as in: the stuff they said made sense). It doesn't seem to be a bad game, just not a particular good one either. The dwindling playerbase is also a concern. Unfortunately I don't have much time for gaming this year and still have quite a lot of (older) stuff to play. Also, I'm not into competitive gaming anymore - when I was back in the day I played Counter-Strike (the original one) in leagues and tournaments. I also enjoyed playing Quake and UT (but for fun, not playing leagues/ladders). Which brings me to my final point about Lawbreakers: BAD TIMING -> A new Unreal Tournament is in the making with support from the players and Quake Champions is also around the corner. The market for arena shooters is pretty small nowadays and I think Lawbreakers just isn't good enough (judging from what I have seen and heard so far) to stand a good chance against the two heavyweights Quake and UT. I might be wrong though...


I sometimes think about SW2 and I'm like "I had so much fun with you, but you pretty much ruined every other shooter for me."

BW nerds spotted ;p

Keith David VP for life! That game was a ton of fun especially as you get further into it and get sweet powers. Saint's Row III is worth checking out too if you haven't yet.
