    Yeah, that came to mind as well. Seems that centuries of warfare were instantly forgotten once the races got TO SPAAAAACE.

    For a dev so hated by the truly oldschool elite (95%) in this here forum, which played all screenshots on Mobygames, to have a 152 page thread dedicated mostly to a single game? Truly Codex cannot forgive a dev that didn't release the best RPG in fucking years for 2 years. This is how shitty those Bioware games are.

    Skyway please, this is not about one single game. This is about a trilogy. :smug:

    Yeah, but his title? I haven't noticed that before.

    Anyway, regarding ME space combat - is it just my impression, or is it seriously heavy on capital-class ships? And if it is, how does that make any sense? They'd have been outclassed by smaller, more maneuverable ships ages ago. Okay, I know I'm trying to comment on realism in a BioWare game but still, what. Formations used best for catching stray shots, capital ships, why, why? BioWare cannot into military history.

    Space warfare wouldn't even be anything like naval or air warfare, so historical accuracy or military realism makes no difference.

    It'd still be more close to air warfare than that - heavily reliant on mobility, since a bunch of smaller and faster interceptor vessels would punch holes in a capital ship while it'd try to aim. And yeah, sure, you could arm capital ships with fast-tracking turrets and so on, but at the same cost you could probably provide enough firepower to wipe it out and keep most of the force intact.

    It's kinda why we don't make giant fucking tanks.

    How do you feel now Todd ?


    IGN starts with a whooping 6 page review and it's only the start, we learn that ME 3 story is probably the best written story in history

    Mass Effect 3, best sci-fi game/novel/movie in history of mankind ? You decide.

    The amount of hyperbole in these articles is amazing. It's like these guys are all competing to come up with the most ridiculous claims of all.

    Skyrim wasn't even supposed to be "immersive" in the same way that ME3 is. It's comparing apples and oranges.

    I just can't wait for some reviews to give it a 8 (!!!!), creating a massive shitstorm from Biodrones because the metacritic score got lowered.

    Well, they need to outdo EA's marketing, otherwise they're redundant.

    Isn't it a fun industry, where the press hypes a product more than its creators?

    lol wrong. The closest we have to space combat on earth is under water combat, and how much combat under water have we seen? Pretty much none.

    The Reapers don't even seem all that powerful. It takes the one who humps that ship quite a while to destroy it.

    I swear, the Gamerfuzion video review is an elaborate troll video. I don't know what I just watched.

    And I know, getting my hopes up was stupid, but I thought that maybe this time it would be too much for these reviewers to take.

    One of them gets killed by a tresher maw too. Epic. Although, going by all the spoilers, maybe that's what Bioware is giong for here - to depict the Reapers as less monstrous along with the revelation of their purpose. This seems too stupid to be anything else; certainly any sense of horror about them has well and truly been lost at this point.

    If everything is "the best ever", then being the best has no meaning anymore.

    I knew it! ME3 is the best game ever since Skyrim.
