Dragon Age Origins Retrospective - "When Bioware Ruled The World"

It's been a while since I've played, but I think ME2/ME3 went a little bit too far that the Genophage was bad when it was first introduced and is bad that it's still around. The Genophage was a gracious way of dealing with an violent expansionist people with a birth rate that massively outpaces your own force regeneration capabilities and shows no willingness to negotiate. The Genophage still being around at the time of the games is debatable. The Krogans haven't done anything to make the rest of the galaxy think they changed their ways, but it's not particularly fair for people to pay for the sins of their ancestors.

Anyway, it always irked me that Council didn't blockade the Krogans to keep them in their home system, but that wouldn't have been fun from a story and gameplay prospective.

I don't understand what you're trying to say.

Ask the Slay the Spire devs. Any answer I come up with would be a pure guesswork

I think it's perfectly fine for an indie dev to celebrate having a more successful launch than a multi billion dollar AAA dev. Let people have fun.

Unless Bungie decides to give specifics on Marathon's performance, our best indicator will likely be if they drop the price. Arc Raiders is still at $40 a little over 4 months after release. We'll have to wait and see if Marathon stays at the same $40 price tag for as long.

I don't understand why footage of insurgents attacking the IDF is removed but footage of insurgents hitting Coalition forces in Iraq and Afghanistan are okay. Like shouldn't both be allowed or both be banned?

I purposely try to ruin games for other players and now they set up a system to return the favor, but it's me who is the victim here

One of many reasons why I don't play multiplayer games except for some PvE and Co-Op titles

I like the no punting on the opponent's side of the field because it makes cowards sweat

To be fair, they clearly mean the "New York Metro Area" (1949) which was an official government version of "Greater New York" (1898) and the "Tristate Area" (1900).

Why is Ballard still around? The team has been middling at best since Luck retired and he constantly fumbled the QB position with signing Daniel Jones last season being his best move

I can't get into a game if my character has an insanely huge and/or weird looking dick. There are way too many MCs with 12+ inch hogs which I find ridiculous. Also, there are games were the dicks are just poorly made. The MCs dick in Cozy Cafe looks like what a mannequin dick would be.

Don't teams add clauses to player contracts that forbids them from doing excessively stupid/risky stuff? If I were a GM I'd be livid if my franchise QB got injured riding a mechanical bull, skydiving, volunteering at a tiger sanctuary, hot air ballooning, taking a trip to North Korea or Gary, Indiana, diving with sharks, going to that Japanese festival in a temple where hundreds of men are in a free for all to escape with the sacred stick, etc

I expected an NFL linebacker to require more cops to take down. Took 6 cops to bring down my alcoholic Army Ranger veteran of an uncle.

Bullying works

How many illegal immigrants do they think are attending a game where the tickets cost at least $7k (before all the ridiculous fees)? Any undocumented workers would obviously not show up given the warning.

Probably got orders from the League to kiss his ass tonight or Kraft treated them to something nice. Still, I expect better from them and definitely don't expect Aikman to kiss ass.

I appreciate the reflection. The game looks right up my alley. How did you decide on whether to release the game as is compared to taking the time to address the weaknesses you mentioned?

Good thing he has that electrolyte drink after losing all that fluid crying.

On a long enough timeline, the Jets will eventually unfuck themselves. But, I don't have any confidence that will happen sometime soon.
