the company is just fully inapable of making an interesting and rewarding perk tree. it's been a problem since fallout 3!
It has nothing to do with Bethesda or MS at all
It feels very... wrought. Like, the scenes are nicely lit/shot, the performances are good, the dialogue is fine, it just constantly felt... just slightly like it was trying too hard? However, it did manage to be interesting to think about.
The lady's deal was presented impressively quickly and with extreme efficiency (basically as soon as the dude gripped the doctor's arm saying he wouldn't let him operate) but I'm not entirely sure how it ties in thematically yet.
I was a little confused at first about why the vicar was so insistent that the serpent isn't real, but once you see the townsfolk start getting more and more superstitious and the threat of violence bubbling up underneath that, it starts to make sense.
Anyway I'm not even sure I'll keep watching (it pales in comparison to the reason I tried Apple's thing (Severance)) but the aerial shots of the marshes were super cool
Like, the way the narrative of Mass Effect is structured, couldn't you just not do the lame bits that don't work well?
I wouldn't expect dropping probes on planets to collect crafting mats to get more than a passing mention.
I have watched two let's plays of the series. So, it's an actual question. Is there a reason to have those characters have any more screen time than the absolute minimum required to check the "we have serviced this segment of the fanbase" box?
It was presented during the Bethesda showcase, I guess I assumed that was for Bethesda games?
If not, that seems like a good thing
that HARD pivot to esports killed so much interest in that game
I’m five episodes in and I think I’m giving up. It’s real aimless.
Removing the z-axis makes it so much easier for my brain to manage what shields need to be rotated away to recharge etc
Perhaps instead of intricately detailed space sims what I really want is bright colors, big cannons, and space country music

Its actually just the Microsoft showcase technically
The MS/Bethesda showcase is only called that because Bethesda is big enough that MS didn't absorb it into Xbox Game Studios and lets it operate under its own brand under Xbox proper Activison/Blizzard will be the same.
And this is why I don't think it'd work even as pre-planned a trilogy.
tbh I think Bioware games (pre-the weird GAS mecha-suit thing they tried to do anyways though ironically that probably would work as a film because the story was very lightly done) in general are too dialogue heavy to work as film adaptations. Multi season series maybe but I don't think it's possible to cram that much talking into a 2-2.5 hour format.
They could likely do just the main plot points and get a ME1 movie done in the sense that it hits those plot points but it's going to feel like a half assed version of a thing that's already been done better at which point why is it even being made.
I'm greatly looking forward to this one. You play a well-animated mundane cat in a cyberpunk world. What if Cyberpunk 2077, but you're a cat instead?

I do frequently like musicals (1776 is my favorite movie, Galavant is one of my favorite shows) but for some reason hearing that something is a musical tends to make me less interested for some reason.
But I will make a mental note of these the next time the urge to just watch YouTube comes up
The first Mass Effect is I think kinda short on narrative is more the problem. It's a lot of faffing about on random planets for things that build backstory or are just sidequests till you finally end up on Virmire. You are really gonna need to build a middle act to the whole thing to make it work and probably cut a lot of random side story that doesn't go anywhere.
Also known as "going to bed"
Every single stream I've looked at: *insert game* will be this be out within 12 months?
like ffs people
I didn’t ask for this : (
Oh god no
but like people ask if certain games qualify like Diablo 4 for instance. They aren't asking is it really going to make it within 12 months, they are asking when she said 12 months does that mean this too?
cannot wait for them to mangle Legend of Mana somehow but tbh i'll probably still watch it even if it's bad.
Well actually it’s based on Ogre3D which, along with most, engines assumes an Y-up axis so ACTUALLY they removed the y-axis.
Actually

in the ps1 days I had a land dragon that I fed with the guidance of a gamefaqs guide and he was so overpowered that he one shot anything he touched
how I yearn for games that let me have a dragon pet that will smoosh things
I did this last night!
tangentially related, I've been very slowly progressing through a large space opera (I like it but I never really feel like reading more than 20 pages at once) and today the barista asked me if I was finished with the book I'd been reading and now I can't go back to the coffeeshop until I finish it ;_;
given the size of modern space operas it might take less time to learn to become a master of disguise and just keep going to your coffeeshop in a series of new identities
And of course hard restarting sent Windows into a goddamn fit.
Goddamn hate Windows update.
Ohhhhh yeah
I couldn't help but think of "engagement" on social media platforms.
i have some complaints and the main one is that the game commits the cardinal sin of giving me optional challenges and a grade at the end of every mission, and i am incapable of settling for anything less than perfection even when perfection is unattainable because i am playing on hard and its actually hard and the allied AI keeps suiciding its units that i need to keep alive
*Video stops for every time the movie doesn't call him Heracles*
Hmm.
