Life is Strange 2
The combat definitely does look great, I'm betting it will be the thing that saves the game from bombing critically.
Yeah, this looks awesome. Mass Effect 3 multiplayer was fantastic, and this is the team that did that, right?On the gameplay side, this actually looks pretty nice:

I'm not really excited about the fact that you are once again someone overly important, but there is a reason behind it this time around that kinda makes sense. It's pretty similar to what they did with DA:I, though.
Oh dear god, it gets worse......
I played the entire trial and finished every quest. Even with your special link to sam you shouldn't be in charge of these things. You should be having someone else telling you what to do every step of the way. Bioware forcing their special jesus chosen one bullshit into this role doesn't fit and totally undermines the writing of the game. They went back to the well one too many times. None of the writing in the game has been good so far but this is just a whole extra class of bad.
That I agree with. Though thinking of being someone's subordinate in a Bioware game, gives me some really frustrating flash backs of ME1. So I'm kinda glad that we are in charge even if it doesn't make much sense storywise.Even if you have the specal chosen one powers it doesn't make any sense for you to be in charge. Just like it didn't make sense for you to be charge in the inquisition. Inquisition had the crutch of religion added to it where people thought you were some literal holy figure sent by the maker to add some weight to it.

Now imagine the sex scene bewteen those two.
I wonder if the alien guy will comment on that too.
Oh God, he'll walk in during the middle of it and say "KILL. ME. NOW", and it'll be a running gag.
Each Pathfinder was in charge because of reasons you well know seeing as what happens when there isn't a Pathfinder involved. As for having someone else telling you what to do every step of the way god no especially considering they openly admit they're going nowhere if things don't change. Also if it doesn't work for you that's fair enough there's plenty of other games to enjoy.

umm, enhance!
critics and hardcore fanbase are going to love that, rpgs are awesome in theory but the fact players have to make decisions on what they are doing overall has always been considered a weak point/grin
And you're basing this on small clips on the game or have you played through the whole game yourself?Everything about the game falls apart if you think about it for more than five seconds because they wanted to make the pathfinder the chosen one. Nothing makes sense and it's just a poorly written game.
Ughhhh just wtf happened with this game man. Amateur hour all around, in every aspect it seems.Oh dear god, it gets worse......
Yeah it was fine. Ryder sounds more human than Shepard was.The writing is fine.
The animation spoiled it.
This is awkward endearing btw: https://youtu.be/0K6OH_5IWnQ?&t=124
Just the quality in the delivery and the emotions the characters express is miles beyond.
I guess it's still technically less awkward than asking your classmate if you can finger her in her car for 3 minutes.

I guess we just have different tastes then.
They gave her this almost constant expression of mildly amused confusion. It's like the Swaggy P ??? Picture made into a character. Male Ryder, OTOH, never seems to know which emotion to use.
So far all that a pathfinder being there has enabled that anyone else couldn't do is translate the alien language and the computer did all that not the actual pathfinder. All they have shown is a password cracker. I'm sure SAM could do that without the actual human body too. What other skills do they have, they can use every classes combat ability? Wow what an amazing leadership trait. The opening hours of the game has been nothing but piss poor writing. Why didn't the nexus have a Sam and only the arks had them? They could have finished that terraforming shit months ago. But bioware had to set it up so you are the chosen one. The same thing they've done every single game ever (maybe their sonic rpg for the DS didn't?) It doesn't really fit though.
Why does the nexus have tons and tons of trees all over the nexus but they have no food? Can't they use that to grow food? Of course bioware wanted to make it look like the citadel which had tons and tons of tree's but if you put any thought into it it completely breaks down. Why do they have no power? Do they not have working nuclear reactors? Did they just bring enough fuel for the 600 year journey and not any spare fuel for when they got there? How are they low on water does the nexus not have any recycling systems like that exist on existing space stations?

You...can ask similar questions about every single BW game tho? So like...if poor writing bothers you...why were you expecting it to be that much better all of a sudden despite all of BW's history?

I... I can't understand.
Was gonna steer clear of the discussion while lurking and enjoying the gifs, but I feel there's something to be said about the overall setting and writing in the ME:A story. Of course, the game isn't out yet and I've only really seen several playthroughs of what's available online, but that material I think at least paints the broad strokes of what kind of tone and approach to writing is present in ME:A.
What I find most jarring in all of this is that the writers use a lot of contemporary slang, anachronisms and character behavioral patterns that feel closer to contemporary teen/young adult writing in TV shows on networks like the CW and the like, and it feels like it's intentional.
Oh dear god, it gets worse......

That's fucking stupid.I'm convinced that at least part of the reason FemRyder looks so bad compared to other characters is because they purposefully tried to change her from the original model to something less attractive. I can only think that, like some of the posters on this site, someone at Bioware thought it would be particularly noble or virtuous to not make FemRyder too hot. No such concerns over male Ryder of course.
But whoever oversaw that 'opposite make over', so to speak, seemingly didn't have the talent to do it properly because they took her face careening into uncanny valley. If you're going to do something like that, you at least need to have the skill to pull it off.
Baldur's Gate games were real good. Everything after that was various levels of rubbish. ME:A just seems so much worse.
Timeless
Thats like edgy to the point where Im cutting my lips when I read it. I get the feeling the writing in ME games was never good lol.
Yeah, this. I loved BG 1 and 2, but those were ages ago.Baldur's Gate came out almost two decades ago. The writing is past written on the wall at this point. Either you go into BW games realizing what you're gonna get (shoddy writing with some highlights) or you're expecting BW to magically change from what they've been doing for decades now.
