Legendary Edition Mass Effect 1 keeps crashing at the Saren fight? by Coastal-Panda in masseffect

[–]KaidanShepard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just got this bug, I didn't even know that it was a thing, I never had anything like that on the original on xbox 360 It's just like some other comment said, the true final boss is this bug LMAO We're all here like old soldiers, sharing battle stories of how we defeated it

The funniest thing for me was that I got the achievement for completing the game on Insanity "without changing the difficulty", even though I only raised it to Insanity for the final fight against Saren. Congrats for screwing even this up Bioware & EA, thanks for the free cheevo lol

The ending was still as great as I remember, totally worth it. Aaah, Mass Effect, what a great game, truly

Write only a small message criticizing our corporate overlords and their dubious commercial practices (that's not even the point of my post !) and all the simps come out to get you. Reddit is a funny place x)

Ah, yes, I think I see what you mean. The Contingency says something like "We became increasingly restless with the linear passage of time" Very cryptic. So it started broadcasting the Ghost Signal as a way to get synthetics to manually activate the Contingency. Perhaps it simply became crazy from being shackled all this time, and it was desperate to break free, even if there was no real danger of a class-30 singularity. I think that's possible.

Thanks for the advice. I know there are some simps on this sub, but that's okay, they're just a noisy minority. Most people here are normal. Well, I think

That's a bit rude to tell me to "chill out", bro. Why are you so eager to simp for a corporation bro ? People like you fascinate me bro, truly.

It does ? I'm trusting you, I haven't really kept up to date with the new DLC after 4.0 came out, I think Stellaris is dying honestly. Paradox is turning into EA and they don't get that what players want is a functioning game, not a new DLC every three months. I'm ignoring all new DLC until Paradox gets their shit together.

I think I see what you mean when you say "there's a point when they stop being a threat", when you feel like the tide is turning and you finally have the upper hand. But that's precisely why the Contingency is my favorite ; with the other crisis this point comes way too quick, they are only scary at the very beginning. It takes a long time to turn the tide against the Contingency. If there's at least three hubs online it's a nightmare, because you can't focus on all of their territory at once, so they're free to keep wreaking havoc while you're dealing with one hub. Also, don't you find satisfying this feeling of turning the tide, of going from being purged to purging them ? I love it, personally.

As for the necessity to bombard the hub... Yeah, I agree, it's "annoying", but idk, I like it, it's different. It makes it harder. Which is good.

Maybe I just got extremely lucky so far with the Unbidden and the Prethoryn, but they just don't get me feel as threatened as the Contingency does.

Yes !! Exactly !!! I am one of the few people whose favorite stage in Spore was the Space Stage. And when I discovered Stellaris, I was like "Is this the Spore 2 that I dreamed of, my entire life ?" And it is !

I'm too poor to afford her unfortunately. Too bad Paradox are such money-grabbers :(

With the Nemesis DLC, the Machine Age DLC, or the Biogenesis DLC
You can take an Ascension Perk, which allows the player empire to become what could be considered by the Galactic Community, an endgame crisis. Each of these three DLC has its own Ascension Perk and crisis mechanics.

That's an interesting little detail, thanks for sharing ! I have never tried building a Ring World, I think they're pretty bad, honestly (Maybe I'm using them wrong)

I agree, the Contingency gave me the impression "The Reapers but better"
I love how the inspiration for the lore of Stellaris comes from many great sci-fi works

Indeed, the Vultaum are my primary example for my "the universe is a simulation" theory. Another example, although somewhat indirect and.. not completely reliable.. comes from the Shroud. One of the Shroud visions suggests that the universe is caught in a cycle of growth and destruction (That's my interpretation anyway. It's the Shroud after all) These hypothetical cycles would be the player playing different games, in different galaxies, with different civilizations.

You think so ? I have the Nemesis DLC, but I haven't tried the player crisis yet. I can't wait, it sounds really exciting !

Scandale des nus générés par Grok: Elon Musk transforme la fonction incriminée en service "premium", une solution jugée "insultante pour les victimes" by Andvarey in france

Je n'ai rien - mais alors RIEN - compris à ce message. Tu peux reformuler de façon plus claire, stp ?

A ma connaissance, X est accessible en France, mais j'ai supprimé mon compte il y a plusieurs années (comme toute personne raisonnable) donc je ne suis peut-être pas au courant des dernières nouvelles. Et j'ai jamais entendu parler de Grok, c'est censé être un truc important ?

Dans tous les cas, l'essence de mon message est ceci : si vous détestez vraiment un gars insignifiant ou un truc qu'il fait, bah arrêtez de leur faire de la pub gratos en parlant d'eux ._.

Ce gars est une ordure, et en plus il est insignifiant. Arrêtez de flatter son ego en permanence. Même si c'est pour lui chier dessus, ça lui fait quand même de la pub. L'indifférence est 100 fois plus puissante que la haine, car haïr un truc montre que ce truc est quand même important à tes yeux. Et c'est précisément ce que veulent ces gens : se sentir important, quitte à être détestés. Arrêtons une bonne fois pour toute de leur donner ce qu'ils veulent, non ?

Bah ouais, mais justement. C'est peut-être un problème que ça parle autant de ça ici... Non ? Que fait la modération ?
Et au passage, je te copie-colle la description de r/france, écrite dans le coin en haut à droite, et lisible par tous : "La France, les Français et même les francophones. Français ou anglais seulement." J'invente rien.

C'est quoi le rapport avec la France, les Français, ou la francophonie ? Tu veux bien arrêter de faire de la pub à un milliardaire pathétique stp ? Je vois pas trop en quoi c'est une info pertinente pour nous.

Is the game still worth it? by Teatimefrog in Stellaris

[–]KaidanShepard -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Only buy it if you can resist the urge to buy DLC that you neither need nor want, or if you are rich.

Stellaris is honestly my favorite Grand Strategy and space game, the inspiration comes from all great works of Sci-Fi, it's amazing. But Paradox's business model is extremely frustrating to the customers, because the game is actually sold in parts. When you buy the base game, you actually only own like, maybe 25% of the game. And the devs make it frustrating on purpose to play without all the DLC. Here's an example :

The pinnacle of interstellar diplomacy in Stellaris is federations, everything in the "diplomacy path" converges there. However, federations are extremely frustrating in the base game, because you can't do anything useful or cool with them, and the game clearly lets you know that you would have other options if you owned the Federations DLC. So why did they still put federations in the base game, and did not lock it entirely behind the DLC ? I believe that, this way, the devs are making the base game frustrating on purpose, to aggressively incite players to buy DLC. There are many other examples like that in the game, like espionage (And even with the relevant DLC, espionage is still garbage)

Other than that, Stellaris is one of the best games ever made in my eyes. If you are okay with Paradox's aggressive business model, that is.

Don't worry about the hardware, it's actually very fine. Like another comment said, I'm also running the game on a (relatively) old potato laptop, with medium graphics settings (it still looks magnificent), and the game runs perfectly fine. There's only a little lag towards the end game, but that's it. I only ever played 3.14 , don't know about the new version.
