How about "I'd rather we had more Peebee skins than an explicit shot of her in her skin. I'd rather just toss her ass out of the airlock. "Bye Felicia! :kiss: " I'm sick of these gogo dancing space strippers.

So you're saying that if you don't care for excessive amounts of porn, that you're a Fox News person? Give me a break. HBO does it and does it better while typically telling a better story and not making it look like a desperate attempt to play out someone's sexual fantasy in the process. Also, HBO doesn't make the mistake of generally having ONLY ugly people doing it. It's one of those irregular verbs isn't it: I am watching tastful erotica which is necessary for the story You are indulging your base sexual fantasies He/She is a raging nonce It is unfortunately. I would argue that the problem is the execution of the choices in regards to romance. Because whatever your choice is will likely fit within that dichotomy which turns into "US vs THEM" opinions on the forums.

They need to fire all the people that didn't deliver, starting with the creative, technical and writing team. And hire Casey Hudson back asap. It shouldn't be personal. Somehow doubt Casey Hudson wants to come back :/ Also the love scenes can't be as bad as Dragon Age Origins can they?

Ignoring the content of this thread, I'd just like to say I read that line in the IGN review and cracked up for 3 minutes. I kept picturing the reviewer there doing his job of playing this game, and his wife standing over his shoulder with this WTF look on her face. I keep snickering about it even now.
Ah well, these things are hard to do well. I've seen more romance scenes that I thought pulled off genuinely touching (if a bit sappy) and very few that pulled off genuinely sexy.

Oh yeah I remember morrigan putting a bra before having sex, even if she does not normally have bra, she decides that the best moment to wear one is when she is going to be fucked by the warden... I guess at that time, Bioware was scared of the fox news scandal. We all remember the "brilliance" and the "intelligence" of fox news, how well they are informed about what they are speaking of :

So you found one reviewer to justify your viewpoint. Congratulations. I'm sure there are others out there like you. Snowflakes. So you found one reviewer to justify your viewpoint. Congratulations.

They clearly spent way more time and effort on Peebee's climax than on Addison's facial expressions.

"This is porn. And it looks weird" A direct quote from the review of Mass Effect Andromeda on IGN. When I started a thread about how putting full nudity and sex in Andromeda was a mistake instead of the more tasteful and less pornographic of the trilogy; I got the usual sophistry, bull and condescension about being a snowflake, rather than seeing that it just doesn't fit. They tried to do too many things at once and as I feared, ended up doing all of them with a half-measure. They need to fire all the people that didn't deliver, starting with the creative, technical and writing team. And hire Casey Hudson back asap. It shouldn't be personal. I'm glad I never jumped too hard on the "it was Casey's fault" ship, in fact I defended him a lot because i know Mac Walters was the "lots of speculation" guy and the one who actually had to execute and write the ending whereas Casey was merely cutting down to bring forth more coherence in theme and tone. And really, Andromeda is the final nail in the coffin for Mac. He cannot be that high in the pecking order, he just can't. He was perfectly good at writing Miranda and Garrus and Wrex across ME1 and some of 2, but I've noticed too many signs in his dialogue, in interviews etc. of where his Mac Falters comes from. He cannot filter his ideas properly and as a creative director "filtering ideas" for the whole team is the core principle - He failed completely in this regard for Andromeda. It does not come to a comprehensive collective theme towards the endgame. All the branching aspects of the game from combat to loyalty, to squad-individuality, to the theme of colonization and theme of "exploring the unknown", it does not come to a greater whole where everything is bigger than the sum of its parts, and it's because Mac wasn't the leader the project needed and he is too much of a "yes man" to say "this is how we do it, but CUT that part out."

I still want Mac around in some capacity.
But I was skeptical of him being Lead Writer of ME3 and especially Creative Director of MEA.
He can't seem to control the series.
I think there's great ideas and characterization from him that I don't want gone, but I want better people to make the ideas work and characters more real. And especially, the single game feeling like a single, complete, game.

Probably... then again, BWs romance scenes have never been very satisfying or pleasant to look at... the fact that they have become a "marketing gimmick" by now doesn't change that.

When a franchise says 'lets put more nudity and gore into a franchise it's a given that they have no good ideas and are clueless. But I'm sure there are people who'll defend this no matter what. It' was a terrible idea on top of all the other disastrous decisions and there implementations. Such a lost potential Mass Effect Andromeda is.

They wanted to up the ante from ME1 (see: Pretty Good Banging™) and they certainly did. I'm just glad there's no more "asari naked, human underwear" nonsense.

I'm fine with more nudity, doesn't bother me. I also didn't expect it to be high quality, so I doubt I'd be disappointed. Low bar. But I am sort of curious about why they limit "weird-looking porn" to only certain romances and fade-to-black the rest. It could be concerns about prudishness or negative publicity, but it could also be a crude ROI calculation. Spend the resources on the romance scenes that are most likely to be seen and for which audience would most likely be wanting / expecting a more explicit option. Figuring out how to make the scene work with Turians would be more time-consuming, and they are probably betting on fewer people playing the alien and LGB romances. Sadly we likely won't ever know the real reason(s) why they did it.

I thought the sex scene between Jaal and Sara was more sweet than pointless porn tbh.
