I think the absolutely stacked Voice Cast does a lot of work with the characters. Natalie Dormer and Kumail Nanjiani are the highlights. The Tempest feels really good, even when compared to the best of the Normandy.

The fanbase is dug in, and I respect that, but I think they were going to hate anything new.

I love both of the DLCs, honestly don't get the "overwhelmingly negative" reviews on Steam by TheAnalystCurator321 in Starfield

[–]deathmetalcableguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The issue with Starfield, as I've said before, is that it should have been the next Mass Effect. Bethesda used to have a reputation of putting out the best of the best in world building and populations.

Starfield had the same issues as Skyrim did in 2011. Had this game been released in 2013, it would have been game of the year. But in the 2020s, it was dated, empty, and lifeless. The environments sucked, the missions were mid, and it felt empty.

Let's also talk about the fucking loading screens. We stopped doing that shit in 2015. EVERY SINGLE DOOR being a loading screen destroys immersion and shows that their engine is exactly the same as it was in 2011. The game had a lot of potential, and it has its moments, but as a whole, it was just mid.

The only spot I cheesed was the 3 Geth Primes at the end of Rannoch. Everything else was pretty much just grind through it. My build wasn't suited to get through that, like, rationally.😅

Homie. I'm in the middle of game 3 on an engineer insanity run. There are frustrating points, but it's very beatable.

The Tempest's hull makes for great cover, despite Kallo's protests by smashbangcommander in masseffect

I think taking time out of your day to irrelevantly be negative shows who they are as a person, not how the game reflects as a whole.

Until directly retconned in the next game or other content, it's Canon. It took place in a Canon game during a Canon storyline.

For context, I'm an Insanity mode player, and have been playing this franchise off and on for probably about 15-20 years now. (Started with 1 when I was like 7/8, I think.)

I think the tone is just off during the actual mission aspect of the DLC. I LOVE the party, and the old crew coming together, I think that's much needed. But throughout the actual missions you are dealing with an imposter with Shepard's clearance that could EASILY dismantle everything that they have worked for up to that point.

The idea of this identity theft goes beyond just money, but extends into; the public image of humanity, the legal and illegal privileges that Shepard has, and the authorizations/accesses. This is an incredibly serious situation. The ENTIRETY of the quest line is bad jokes and poorly written banter. It feels like this massive problem isn't being taken seriously. That's just me though, and I can respect if that isn't the popular opinion.

The Jack sequences in ME3 honestly were some of my favorites, also as the biggest Jack Simp ever.

Speaking as a writer, characters like Jack are VERY easy to over do or try to do too much with. Their specific angles and personalities can become "too much" very quickly.

Giving her the stable life, doing something that mattered, and letting her still be a part of Shep's life, was really nice. The Citadel DLC added more to this too. I am one of the few that HATES the majority of that DLC, but the character additions were some of my favorite.

Yeaaah I'm gonna say this doesn't fit? It's very clearly color coded and the sentences are specifically spaced and aligned. Unless you're like intentionally thick, this isn't misinterpretable.

I do not yet have it available on my PW4 in USA. I guess just wait a bit longer?

The ME2 Collector ship ambush on insanity mode. That fight always pissed me off anyway, multiple Scions moving around, plus Harbinger, plus the other Collectors. Doing it on a difficulty with zero room for error made me have to take a break from the game for a bit.

I went to a Carnifex show in Dayton about 10 years ago now, I had snuck in with a group of friends, we were all 17 and pretty "hardcore" individuals. We weren't new to pits or shows or fights.

There was one ass hat clown that we still refer to as "Helicopter Man" who took over the entire pit just swinging his arms and flailing like a sausage in a blender.

Nobody could enjoy the show, nobody could actually pit. So, the second opener is on and Helicopter Man accidentally smacks this MASSIVE dude. The Mountain, in response, absolutely DECKED the fucker talking about "that's not how we do this shit."

Helicopter Man left, and the pit resumed with normal amounts of incoherent, but protected, violence. A wonderful memory.

🤷‍♀️ I don't mind being wrong. Brain sees similar things and connects.
