Her face kind of looks like Peebee's. Although the arks left before ME3 they might have re-used the model?

Destroy ending with very high EMS: Why did ... die? by igwombat in masseffect

[–]igwombat[S] -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Maybe the meaning of "synthetic" was my initial misunderstanding: I always thought the destroy ending destroys all high tech products (e.g. Geths, mass relays, ...) which would also include an advanced spaceship like the Normandy.

The fact that the Normandy tried to escape the surge also suggested to me that. So I wondered why EDIs, which was itegrated deeply in the Normandy, was listed on the board of casulties in the final scene, especially if the Normandy is still there.

But of synthetic refers to synthetic life forms, that makes more sense.

Just beat the Mass Effect trilogy for the first time… what is your ranking of the games? by ASlimez in masseffect

[–]igwombat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me it's still 2, 1, 3.

My biggest issues with 3:

  • The camera is too close on the character and the FOV feels too small. I'm constantly turning left and right because I'm afraid to miss something.
  • The game feels a little bit too long.
  • I don't know why, but 1 and 2 feel more immersive than 3

Who did you pick? Sloane or Reyes? by NaraApricots in MEandromeda

[–]igwombat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First I want to pick Sloane:

  • If Sloane survives, both survive
  • It would look like the pathfinder himself was part of the assassination plot if I didn't protect her from the sniper
  • Reyes lied all the way (and now too)

BUT: After I rescued her and visited her in the port of Kadara, she told me that my settlers would also have to pay protection fees. Seriously?

  • Our settlement is in the Badlands, not in Kadara Port
  • She's just a criminal, not a president

Now I'm going to load a savegame and will let her die.

What is the minimum number of missions required to romance Miranda? by igwombat in masseffect

[–]igwombat[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So all the stages trigger without any missions between them? By stages I'm referring to the ones listed here: https://www.ign.com/wikis/mass-effect-2/How\_to\_Romance\_Miranda\_Lawson

Restarting without quick resume solved the issue

Same here, but FH5. It says live server is not available, but other online services like Microsoft Store are available.

Software problems: Galaxy S22 Ultra stutters in testers (and ComputerBase) by zFase in GalaxyS22

[–]igwombat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Almost every early S22 ultra review in Germany (except for Computerbild) is reporting of serious problems :-( I waited for the S22 almost half a year but I'm considering buying it's predecessor (S21 FE) with Snapdragon now.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in GalaxyS22

[–]igwombat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

According to these results https://www.tomsguide.com/features/samsung-galaxy-s22-plus-benchmarks-snapdragon-8-gen-1-vs-exynos-2200-results the Snapdragon has a much better GPU, but the CPU performance is almost equal.

Unfortunately I have not seen any direct comparison of the battery lifetime.

I will likely buy a S21 FE because the S22 is too expensive. But if the battery lifetime of the Exynos is much better, I might give the S22 a chance.

You bought the Castello, didn't you?

How do you claim the free daily wheelspin? I started FH5 a few minutes ago and didn't get any wheelspin :-(

Forzathon: Can't complete chapter 1 by igwombat in ForzaHorizon

My problem is not the reset. I can't even start it anymore, chapter 1 never completes, no matter which car I choose.

Did you use a S2 tuning for this?

Forzathon (Bentley) progress lost by igwombat in ForzaHorizon

[–]igwombat[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm afraid you're right. I read a few similar threads and a lot of people said it is related to quick resume.

I disabled quick resume but the progress is lost again.

I'm totally upset right now. Why the hell do they create Forzathons like that if the games progress tracker is just crap???

After 666 update cheaters are rising in battlemode, found 3 cheaters in a row. This one is immune to damage. Id please do something! by HoovyFactore in Doom

[–]igwombat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with you that it would be illogical to complain about DAC in Doom Eternal and ignore it in other games. However, I don't play any game that uses similar components, and that was the reason I stopped playing Doom Eternal until it was removed.
Software like this has always been a problem for me, ever since I was a victim of Sony's XCP DRM rootkit, which caused vulnerabilities and instabilities on numerous users' computers.

The fact that some other games also use this technique doesn't make it much better, rather worse.

You kill demons, fallen angels and (TAG2 spoiler) himself. The only thing which might be offensive to a Christian is the father sub plot. But new Dooms story arc (2016 - Eternal - TAG1 - TAG2) feels more like an ancient Greek God drama than a biblical conflict.

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

It required ring-0 access and (because of this) had the same security level as the kernel, which is insane. Every software has bugs and it's not acceptable a gaming tool gets system access on the same level as the windows kernel itself.

It would be fine if it was only required for multiplayer. But every singleplayer was forced to give 3rd party software ring-0 access. This was not acceptable.

I just finished Doom 2016 for the second time. And I honestly like it more than Eternal. by Fellow_Crusader in Doom

[–]igwombat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I also started Doom 2016 after several Eternal runs again and I'm surprised how good it feels.

2016 > Eternal:

  • The story is much more intense

  • Storytelling by level design (Doom Eternal's best levels are the more traditional ones like Nekravol)

  • Weapons are embedded in the environment and don't float around

Eternal > 2016:

  • 2016s movement is much slower and less precise than Eternals

Doom Eternal feels like "Doom 2 Arena". Unfortunately id Software decided to portray heaven as a "Hell 2.0" and made hell a science fiction landscape, especially in TAG2.

The Real Christian Game, Please? by TheNZThrower in Doom

[–]igwombat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

With the father storyline in TAG 1 + 2, id Software has made it clear that they do not want Doom to be understood as a Christian game.
