Tasteful, Understated Nerdrage: A Tale of Two Companies

Starts off talking about ME3 decisions and EA but quickly moves on to general large video game publisher culture. You might enjoy listening to his rambling.

Edit: Same guy who did a video on the ending.

New ending coming soon!

Quote
BioWare, a Label of Electronic Arts Inc. announced Mass Effect™ 3: Extended Cut, a downloadable content pack that will expand upon the events at the end of the critically acclaimed Action RPG. Through additional cinematic sequences and epilogue scenes, the Mass Effect 3: Extended Cut will give fans seeking further clarity to the ending of Mass Effect 3 deeper insights into how their personal journey concludes. Coming this summer, the Mass Effect 3: Extended Cut will be available for download on the Xbox 360® videogame and entertainment system, PlayStation®3 computer entertainment system and PC for no extra charge*.

Haven't played it yet, but if the spoiler I heard about the ending is true, that'd cheese me off to no end.

So they're releasing what was supposed to be there originally but EA made them cut because they weren't going to except anymore delays.

EDIT: Also, not that I don't want to play a geth, but I imagine geth PCs are going to be annoying to have around on geth maps. I already sometimes try to punch fellow humans on cerberus maps because I am an idiot.

Jesus god full teams of krogan battlemasters is going to be funny/horrifying. KROGAN TO THE FACE! Seriously its going to be hard to play anything else with them running around as their fat asses are going to block you from shooting at anything.

Its one reason I use really garish ugly VERY non npc color schemes on my humans. At a glance from long range they can easily tell the big pink thing is NOT an NPC.

I am a fan of everyone dressing in hot pink, yes, although I believe my engineer is in a more tasteful bight purple at the moment.

I agree the second or so it takes to identify a person that can be saved by fugly garish colors can save lives.

My human soldier ran with a white and grey camo color scheme for a while. Then I noticed I got shot at a lot more on Cerberus maps. I changed to blue and red.

Tuned in, immediately get to watch cringey Ubisoft talking head offering her deepest sympathies to the families impacted by the Orlando shooting while flanked by a man in a giraffe suit and some sort of "horrifically garish neon costumes through the ages" exhibit or something.  We need to stop this fucking planet right now and sort some shit out. -Kail

My level 4 Salarian Engineer just beat a Level 17 vanguard on Bronze with 30,000 to 3,000 and then as level 8 eng again on Silver 40,000 to 25,000

Since I don't have a decent pistol I just spam decoy, ED and all ammo I have on my Predator X. High firing rate plus quick reload FTW

*sigh* too many character cards. An hour and a a half work to get the money for an improved spectre pack and I got 3 vanguard character cards + 1 reset powers.

Still no carnifex though.

Its not that great of a gun to be honest. If you got the phalanx it's pretty solid.
Also, Geth Shotgun is pretty much my infiltrator weapon of choice.

I need a good handgun for my Asari Adept. Paladin is too heavy, the only other decent gun I have is the Predator X, but spamming bullets wears out my trigger finger.

Without 200% on cooldowns I never once get a biotic explosion through before a trigger happy party member kills my target and the Predator doesn't help me get out of tough spots on silver or gold much.

I also don't really want to spec Justicar Level 6 just for the handgun weight reduction when I could be putting those points in Fitness instead. The AA is enough of a glass cannon already.

Equip yourself with the recharge bonus gear then.
I do that on my infiltrator when i'm doing silver & above.

Phalanx and nothing else should give you 200% recharge. The Carnifex is the only one that will drop you below that (and it will do so even with the +20 weight and -30% heavy pistols talents, I believe)

Carnifex is awesome just for head shots on things for most power spamming classes. Phalanx + armor piercing mod is my go to gun for general use though. It's kind of funny to watch random people have issues with guardians when you just walk over and spam rounds in the general vicinity of their heads and punch right through the shield.

Also: still no victory/commendation packs. They seem to be dropping the ball hard on fixing Op Raptor's exploits/detection code. Supposedly a patch out this week for it, and then rewards.

Its stated oddly. Basically its full auto but the speed it fires increases the longer you hold the trigger down. You can see it in the video it starts firing at a good clip then starts ramping up faster and faster.

Going by the lack of specular mapping looks like someone's playing with the game model exports.

Having few days or weeks to spend on handcrafting few seconds of animation, vs having few hours to animate minutes long convo, usually.

Animation in the game is also designed to be reused as much as possible, so gestures and emotions are purposefully generic.

if at last you do succeed, never try again
