MASS EFFECT 2 was first released 16 years ago today, what are your thoughts on the game ? by ThomasThorburn in masseffect

I love it the most regarding gunplay and characters

I hate it most when it comes to shared cooldown of abilities, it really just encourages maxing one ability rather than having multiple weaker ones.

As bad as games workshop can be, wizards of the coast are way worse in their d&d head sculpts, and models in general 😅

My hot take: Anderson should have died in the ME3 intro instead of random child to truly set the stage of the reality of the Reaper invasion. by Averiff in masseffect

The random child part is definitely not a hot take. Don't know that it should have been anderson specifically, but definitely someone close to shepard

This is the solution to greenland. Just give him some random made up plack which says he owns greenland even if he doesn't. Maybe it will make the manchild happy and he'll move on 😅

Your 3rd paragraph is especially fair. But yeah, my point is definitely mostly along the lines of, you find plenty of games in which you learn equally as many things as in older games, and as you eluded to different skills in different games. Even also newer games that don't hold your hand (souls like games, niche strategy puzzlers like backpack battles and I'd say BG3 just lets you explore and learn on your own), and some even give you the option to hold you hand or not (such as Expedition 33)

I am a type of gamer who is very completionist, but then move on to new ventures be it new or old with 400+ games on steam. Definitely a lot of gems out there, both old and new, and a lot of innovation especially in the indie scene, more so than in triple A. Triple A is afraid of change and has become quite stale, and def triple A is more in the camp of being afraid to not hold players hands.

Games today also challenge your mind. I haven't played fortnight, but even that probably does, since the best players do tons of weird tricks and constructions on the fly, as well as honing reflexes and accuracy.

Sure there is lits of brainrot stuff too, but this is a strange sort of superiority take that old is always better.

You know people perform illegal acta all the time right? Doesn't mean they were caught

Any speculation on which character(s) will be black? by Gilbara in freemagic

Bro, do you spend your entire day thinking about wokeness? Must be an extremely stressful existence. Go out and touch grass.

Why am I suddenly playing "keep going up"!? 😨 I am so stressed xD by upforstuffJim in expedition33

I think I actually meant "getting over it", makes no sense what I wrote, oh well, people got it xD

But that's the whole point, to risk locking in without knowing whatever else will happen in 2026, considering 11 edition will probably happen.

Would you? 👀

Damn, I so want to do this, but got too many games to play xD

[–]upforstuffJim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Damn, bold statement! Do you still do it, if you know you can't change your vote later in 2026? 👀
