I'm tentatively excited for this idea but I fully expect them to be glorified redshirts that pad the middle of the season where they get killed one by one after 30 minutes of just enough background each to make them interesting

Yeah. That's clearly where this will go. Literally the worst Battle Royale yet.

I saw someone on Twitter a month or 2 back say some shit like "I'm pleasantly surprised by the lack of porn for this game" and they're about to be in for a rude awakening.

TMZ is reporting that Jonathan Joss (John Redcorn) was shot and killed. He was apparently not involved in this new season, but sad to lose another cast member.

Firstly, wtf!

Secondly, it's weird if that's the case because John Redcorn is in the OP.

I don't mean that ME3 never has any other "fun" moments. I more mean that the whole thing would make more sense if they could have done this after the events of ME3 but obviously ME3 didn't allow for that. The other DLCs that is very much not the case.

Citadel is great but it really doesn't make me like ME3 any more. It's an amazing send-off that works because of everything that came before, not just ME3, but has to completely divorce itself from the events and tone of ME3 to do it in a way that the other DLCs don't. It really just feels like I'm playing a different (and better) game altogether.

So if you romanced Miranda and you explicitly call things off when you run into her at first in ME3, she just dies in that encounter no matter what. But if you string her along and lock in a different romance instead it's fine.

Weird shit.

I've already been burned by the Heroes reboot

I feel like anyone who watched all of original Heroes should not be capable of being burned by anything else it possibly could have done.

I mean without having seen anything besides the original series, I could believe both the other spinoffs are better than what this will be. This just looks like a terrible idea.

Just what every show that's been milked dry needs. To move to New York.

"Perhaps the biggest change, though, is the fact that Bobby Hill is all grown up. Now 21 years old,"

tfw we're all at an age where 21 is in fact NOT grown up to us

Well the really weird part is most of us were probably Bobby's age or close to it at some point while it was airing.

The parts where you're just tasked with driving a vehicle for miles and miles across California highways under zero threat were particularly offensive to me - I can already do that in real life, it's called my morning commute!

Give me that over endless tailing missions that penalize you every turn for being too close.

I don't know how any gamer Millenials dodged all the PS2 GTAs.

Deleting that post literally served no purpose other than giving people more to talk about.

Oh also they've done this in party order thus far.

Amanda Winn Lee has also confirmed she wasn't asked to voice Yukiko.

So at this point is this just a weird ass marketing scheme?

I think the close buttons are more for if you had been using the open button right before (or blocked the door open)? Regardless, I'm pretty sure regulations for how long they have to stay open mean you can't shorten the minimum time.

Also crosswalk buttons are somewhat counterintuitively much more likely to serve a purpose the less busy a crosswalk is. But in those cases all it really does is signal that there is someone there similar to a sensor for cars, because they just straight up won't activate otherwise. It won't make the light change any faster if a car is waiting at the same intersection.

Oh no I didn't lol. I didn't think about it

Damn. Now you're stuck replaying the game if you ever want to do the DLC.

Edit: Although if you waited so long you got rusty that may be a good idea anyway.

Did you or did you not follow my advice about backing up your save?

Ted's accident is hilarious because they had him stumble over the rug every scene at his house up to that point.

The twins (nor the rest of the Salamancas) never even directly interact with Mike in Breaking Bad, a fact that BCS takes advantage of.

Call me a Conservative because I think California is terrible (in this game).

What Legion was saying is that those weren't visual recordings, they were visualizations based on Shepard's perspective, not the Geths. And seeing only Tali, he's not going to imagine every Quarian looking just like her.

I thought he was using the Ludwig's Holy Blade, though. Maybe that's where I'm mistaken.

Much better level design for what the game does than the sequel.

Oh, honestly that's a bit surprising to me. But also you'd still get the most out of Vitality or Endurance. Maybe like 5 more Strength (25 is considered the lower soft cap) but that's more for a specific weapon we've talked about in the DLC you may not even be doing.

If you've heard about how Arcane doesn't drop off in scaling, that's specifically for Hunter's Tools. For weapons it has the same soft cap as the other attack stats, which you're well past (50).

Also holy shit get some Endurance.

I just beat the next boss and I still don't see chunks. I got a shock hunter badge

Yeah that wasn't it. You could have actually fought that a long time ago, though it's more balanced for now.

Just had to make sure. It's surprisingly common.

I think literally your next (mandatory) boss is the milestone.

But also this is a different vendor by the side entrance of the house in case you're only checking the other more obvious one.

Oh yeah, also "killing" her still let's you level and it's faster so if you ever watch the speedrun they just merc her constantly.

Yeah, you're capped at 99 Insight so it's good to spend for that reason.

I definitely forgot that, though.

"Radahn kinda forgot about the Scarlet Rot."

Okay let's be fair, he is not (directly) responsible for this.

Finally listened. That's insanely different. And not like in a "it's doing its own thing" way. Like half the instrumental parts are just gone for no discernible reason.

Fortunately Michael Bay is too busy with Skibidi Toilet.

Probably not important since everyone's played it, but I feel like that intro spoiled a lot more of the game than the old one did

Redo of the song is good but maybe a little worse than the original

That's okay we had the trailers to spoil for the original!

Yeah, I'm all on board with Jacob as worst squadmate, but some people legitimately hating him for theoretically cheating on Shepard when they damn well didn't even condiser romancing him is hilarious to me.

Maniac64 posted...

I feel like Salarians look similar enough that some of the background npcs could be female.

Does Andromeda show any that are less covered up than the Dalatrass? Because I feel like they did that for more than status reasons. Same with Eve, even if she looks more different even covered up.

But also any that speak are out. Male Salarians may have a high voice but it's still a pretty distinct affect from her.

Leonhart4 posted...

I would guess it was just an oversight and they didn't realize until afterwards there hadn't been a female turian up until now

Pretty sure the answer is more money than something they missed. Most species only showed one gender at first.

I fact the only species that actually show two genders/sexes before ME3 are Humans and Quarians, and that's after only having Tali in ME1.

There is technically another one that you coach Garrus to hit on if you're not in a relationship with him in the Citadel DLC.

Mobile game ads where it's the game being played badly on purpose

infuriating

The problem is if they didn't play like head asses, most of those games would be obviously effortless. Assuming the game is even real, which usually they aren't.

Well, unfortunately you have a small problem.

One of the flaws of Bloodborne is it did absolutely none of the legitimately good QoL changes DS2 made. This includes the fact that it takes you straight into NG+ after beating it. Therefore, I strongly advise making a backup save before the final boss if you really end up not getting the DLC.

This is also good if you give a shit about Trophies because there are actually multiple endings and no other "need" to do another playthrough besides that fact.

Edit: Oh, it'll probably be apparent who the final boss is when you get there, but to be safe eventually you'll notice a pretty obvious change in the Hunter's Dream. That would be the time. Don't even approach them before making up your mind.

I never used it in earnest, but Logarius Wheel felt very odd to me when I tried out the moveset. And I used Kirkhammer my first playthrough so it's not like slow and heavy is a deal breaker.

People watching tv or listening to music in public on their device with the sound on while the public location already has music playing.

Drives me bonkers.

This only really got bad after everyone removed the headphone jack on phones. So I think phone manufacturers deserve half the blame here.

The destruction of "literally"

I really want to like Ebrietas but I just don't. At least I think her charge isn't a double-tap one-shot if you try to dodge anymore.

Speaking of, has anyone explained counter damage yet? It's actually the real beef I have with this game.

Im pretty sure the Arcane on Blades of Mercy is miniscule.

Yeah I attacked her by accident at the start and had to kill her by making her fall off a cliff. It took me like 2 hours lol

This is actually pretty common.
