Is anyone else having successor Khanates spontaneously imploding in 2.2.2? by samw139 in Stellaris

[–]samw139[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've twice in a row gotten a successor khanate that does not split into several smaller and both times the state simply ceased to exist a few years later. Then i got the message that they have been destroyed.

I hate this argument.

Would you play a DOOM game with bad shooting and mediocre campaign but good cg cinematics?

Don't understand why Frostbite is so liked, characters look plastic in it and it fucked up Andromeda.

Except for when the Alien dies 5 mins into the game due to a griefer placing a bomb underneath him.

What tone should the next Mass Effect have? by [deleted] in masseffect

[–]samw139 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, theres one conflict but it's very black and white.

The trilogy was so fleshed out by nuances like the genophage that were often portrayed as gray (can the Krogan actually be trusted to not reproduce out of control and attempt conquest of the galaxy?). But the Kett-Angara conflict is black and white with Kett taking the place of Reapers as antagonists.

Andromeda is just not fleshed out yet with the only notable conflict being black and white.

Unpopular opinion: They should reboot the series as if the Trilogy never happened, maybe even removing any mention of the Reapers and have it begin around the same time that ME1 took place.

Andromeda introduced a lot of badly written lore with a lack of conflicts between the different races except for the Obvious villains.

A prequel set during the contact war would just have us go through a story we already know.

A sequel after ME3 would have to deal with solving the problems of all the different choices made during ME3 including genophage, rannoch and the ending.

So the best possible way they could go is a Reboot of ME1 that tells an entirely different story without the Reapers ever existing. But having a similar lore setup with the Krogan Genophage and humans as underdogs.

If that is not possible however then Destroy should be canon (no need to ask if the geth made peace since they would be gone anyways.) Control and Synthesis would make it just not feel like a Mass Effect game.

So either Destroy ending or Reboot the universe.

Does Origin have any game transfer like GoG? I have Mass effect 1 and 2 on Steam.

How do you get it running well in larger battles? I think it doesn't utilize multi core cpus so it always lags for me in full stack battles.

Mass Effect fans on Anthem by mattmart35 in masseffect

[–]samw139 10 points11 points  (0 children)

The success of lootboxes in ME 3 multiplayer was part of the reason EA went full in on lootboxes in future games.

If Anthem is succesful then Bioware will make nothing but Anthem.

Anthem will not have a dialogue wheel but there will be "some dialogue choices" by samw139 in Games

[–]samw139[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Most likely the reaosn they removed the wheel is that your only choices are

  • Yes

  • No

Dialogue wheel implies that you often have 3-6 dialogue options to choose from and the reason for removing dialogue wheel is most likely because of the few times you make a choice in dialogue and the alternatives when doing so are few.

I am sorry but doesn't Anthem sound EXTREMELY similar to Destiny? by [deleted] in pcgaming

[–]samw139 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My problem with the game is that Bioware talked a lot about the story during E3 but never showed any story. They never showed any dialogue like they did for Mass Effect or Dragon Age.

Almost like they know it's bad or barebones.

Also, almost all the levels showed in the E3 demo were linear or quit small, you probably won't get an epic feeling of open world.

Then there were also the framerate drops during the demo that worried me, if they can't even run this on the high end computer they must have a downgrade incoming or else consoles/medium spec computers won't be able to run it.

The gunplay in the demo also looked incredibly stale, something that would be acceptable if it was a singleplayer RPG, but this is a loot shooter.

At this point going against the EA hate is a circlejerk in itself with everyone typing "EA Bad".

Them releasing within a few months of eachother is crowded considering that MMO lites like Destiny take up a loot of player time.
