    The spoiler sounded kind of neat and I actually didn't mind hearing it, but honestly I have no idea if I'll ever play the game.

    In more DrewNews, his Patreon cracked $19k and he's doing an AMA in about 45 minutes:

    Man, I bought The Fall on Wii U! And the Wii U already died and there's a new Nintendo system and there still isn't a sequel!

    Re Nier: It went into my Steam Wishlist. I'm still playing Zelda, ME:A is due next week, I still haven't played River City Ransom and oh my God so many games.

    Wasn't that spoiler for The Fall during the GOTY talks? Those are always listener-beware-we-could-spoil-anything-at-any-time territory. I feel like they still put an up-front warning about that when it came up even.

    As has already been said, Brad is the worst about that will he or won't he spoil this. Like you can almost see him rocking back and forth in his seat wanting to just let it out.

    Yeah it was. I was using it as an example of how a spoiler motivated a buy from me though.

    Yeah, I remember Patrick and maybe a couple others saying the same thing.

    I recommended that Dan and Vinny do Rescue Rangers for the next Run, since Capcom is putting out that Disney afternoon collection.

    GBeast needs to do a 3 person coop playthrough of Secret of Mana. (Fobwashed originally proposed this idea when Austin was there)

    From that 1099 Podcast with Vinny, he mentioned a feature he had been trying to get done for a while featuring him, Austin, and Drew. When Austin left, he said he was just going to replace Austin's role with Dan (!) but now that Drew has also left, it's not looking so hot.

    I do wonder what the hell it would have been. Something educational, no doubt. When you lose The Professor and The Scribe, you get The Village Idiot.

    It looks really terrible, and that's the start of the game which they probably spent a tremendous amount of time on?

    Unfortunately Stargåte doesn't do enough deconstruction of the Orwellian commulist anarcho-religion of the goa'uld and cannot therefore be considered cool.

    I'm sad to hear the new Mass Effect is apparently bad. I wasn't going to buy it out of the gate, but I was hoping for another fun adventure in that universe...even if it's in another galaxy.

    On the other hand, it's not like I don't have enough to play already.

    If the ME series is StarGate, then ME:A is Stargate Universe, aka the really bad one.

    It's not the end of the world or anything, it just makes this seem more like a Mass Effect 3.5 than a 4 from what I've seen on this stream so far.

    Sure, but that can only carry a game so far. Atleast a single player space opera.

    I haven't minded the face designs in stills I've seen but seeing the animations now I don't know. It did not look good. I remember Inquisition being fine in this respect?

    The writing doesn't seem to be aiming for a target audience I am a part of.

    I'll stop and wait for more coverage before buying this. Honestly surprised.

    Mass Effect 1 was the game I bought an Xbox 360 for. I bought an Xbox One at Christmas partly out of anticipation for this.

    ... Right now, it's looking like a pass for me. Those facial animations are just bad, and I'm turned off by the caliber of dialogue/writing that we've seen so far.

    I think you mean Stargate Infinity, the second season of Universe was actually pretty good.

    I mean even if Andromeda is bad you'll still eventually get a game that'll make that cost worth it

    Mass Effect is a series that i've never really been able to pin down who I can trust regarding reviews and impressions of it. Probably mainly because i've been so all-in on it since day one and it's never disappointed me significantly, so i've never had cause to read reviews or learn what other people's likes and dislikes of it are. Even among the Giant Bomb people. I know Vinny loves 2 a lot, but that's kind of all.

    Brad gave Mass Effect 2 five stars.

    Jeff gave Mass Effect 3 four stars.
