Video game thread

It falls on it's face around level 35. For some reason, the NPCs don't seem match levels past 25 or so. By the 35 you'll be winning every fight with almost no damage. Turned a great game into an average one. I am keeping it though, because supposedly the DLC is going to fix it.

The last part of a Let's Play for Rage that I'd been watching went up today, and that's easily the worst video game ending I've seen. Even KOTOR 2 had a better ending than that.

So, Mass Effect 3 has been out a little while now, and has people all riled up over different things. First it was the $10 Day 1 DLC that is on the disc and can be enabled by changing one line in the settings. Then there was the the multiplayer aspect added on that improves your chances of getting the good ending in the single player game.

Then everyone forgot about that when they finally got to the ending. Here's a side by side comparison of the six possible endings for the game.

Some people are kinda pissed. I kinda get what they were going for there, but the games were always about the companions and their stories. Few of those got wrapped up, and the ones that were left unfinished will probably be DLC later.

I'm about 10 hours into Mass Effect 3 [so I'll obviously avoid that video]. So far it's good like 2 was. First 4 hours or so I wasn't impressed but once you get to the Normandy and start doing your missions it gets a lot better.

Finished Mass Effect 3, ending was okay. There should only be two possible endings, one good one bad. The end gets a little ridiculous with the hordes of enemies you have to keep fighting.

That's pretty much it. I'll have to try pickpocketing weapons while in combat next time I play.


Also, the Animal House ending for Mass Effect 3.

You see the Bs where the next gen platforms may not allow you to share games with your friends by selling games purely digital?

[SD]

Yes I did.

The rumor is that the next-gen Xbox would be the system to do that. If that happens I'm switching to Playstation assuming they're not doing the same thing. It's a stupid idea because people will find a way to hack the systems to get the software for free just like they're doing now.

Pretty audacious they'd try to eliminate the secondary market.   I read it was both systems.... Time to switch to Nintendo?

[SD]

They don't realize it's going to ruin the industry. They'll go down in flames the same way the music industry did.

[General_Failure]

Rumors are just rumors until they announce the product, which it doesn't look like they're going to do this year anyway.

I do all my gaming on pc, so I couldn't tell you the last time I bought a game that was able to be resold.
