[QUOTE=Saza;34718230]Man you guys are such whiners. Heaven forbid a game isn't REAL ENOUGH[/QUOTE] Does this not look very under par for a game released in 2012? [t]http://i.imgur.com/lYHfy.jpg[/t] I'm fairly sure if I went and looked Halo 1 textures would look the same, if not better.
[QUOTE=Fisk;34717305]Are people really complaining that they can't have all their games on one service? Are you serious? Is it so hard to have another program running which basically does nothing to your system other then leave a little icon in the corner. And it's not that hard to remember where you have the games, hell you can write it down on a piece of paper and place it where your game cases would've been if these services did not exist.[/QUOTE] Look. We were totally happy with Steam. Everything was awesome. Then EA got greedy and wanted to launch their own Digital Distribution platform. That's fine. The part that makes me mad is they took Crysis 2, DA 2, and some other games [i]out[/i] of Steam and made BF3, ME3 Origin required. They're forcing us to use Origin to gain more profit while making our gaming life more inconvenient.

Steam is forcing us to use their games on their platform, what's your point?
[QUOTE=Saza;34718303]That looks absolutely fantastic.[/QUOTE] I hope you're joking.
[QUOTE=Saza;34718303]That looks absolutely fantastic.[/QUOTE] Yeah look at the 'textures' on that top, that's some high quality shit.
Mass Effect has always been graphically adequate to me. Not the prettiest game, but not so ugly it compromises my ability to have fun playing the game. Having fun playing games is apparently a lost artform, however.
Now it doesn't. I don't have those problems. So that sucks for you really.
We're getting to the end of this generation of console's life cycle, they're bound to look pretty rubbish compared to what we can do. Are you really surprised?
[QUOTE=Devodiere;34718519]We're getting to the end of this generation of console's life cycle, they're bound to look pretty rubbish compared to what we can do. Are you really surprised?[/QUOTE] I just don't understand why they can't include high resolution textures for the PC, and scale them down if the consoles can't handle them.
you know I'd love it if I could actually bind powers to the num bar. cause playing Infiltrator is hard as fuck without that
[QUOTE=Saza;34718779]you know I'd love it if I could actually bind powers to the num bar. cause playing Infiltrator is hard as fuck without that[/QUOTE] It's a bug, I had that happen the first time I played each class. Afterwards it was fine.
If you mean rebinding, just exit out of the game, choose that class and play. ANY class you pick after the FIRST one you played in your FIRST match will have Bugged hotkeys.

Afterwards it was fine.[/QUOTE] This too, but my example is the only way I found to fix it :V
Reached Wave 9 on Gold and died. :(
[QUOTE=Errorproxy;34716709]Gaht dang it. Preodered at Gamestop for that DLC, artbook, and N7 patch.. or Preorder on Origin for BF3.. Which is the lesser evil..[/QUOTE] preorder the Digital Deluxe Edition, get the dlc, artbook, robot dog and that silly hoodie ingame and BF3
[QUOTE=Lambeth;34718834]preorder the Digital Deluxe Edition, get the dlc, artbook, robot dog and that silly hoodie ingame and BF3[/QUOTE] no expanded soundtrack? you kidding me?
[QUOTE=Lambeth;34718834]preorder the Digital Deluxe Edition, get the dlc, artbook, robot dog and that silly hoodie ingame and BF3[/QUOTE] I'd do that but it's $80. Not sure if I want to drop that much on one game. I would however trade BF3 for another game since I already have it. If that is possible. So it might be worth it.
[QUOTE=GetBent;34718528]I just don't understand why they can't include high resolution textures for the PC, and scale them down if the consoles can't handle them.[/QUOTE] Because neither person should get the gimped version? We both payed the same price for the game why should we get the better version just because we can handle it?
Is the multiplayer progress saved for release or will it all be reset when the game releases? It's quite fun.
The thing I hate about no holster is that I think it looks totally fucking retarded to be running around a level the whole time with a very static and focused "arms out" aiming posture without any threat being around. It looks awful to be walking over to your next objective after you took out baddies with that "HURR I'M HYPER FOCUSED" stance and look. See Deus Ex for a good example of what I mean. In ME2 I'd holster all the damn time, because of the above, because it feels natural to do so, and helps me feel like I'm actually playing the game like I would if I was in their situation instead of making me feel like I'm just doing a generic flavorless arcade shooter (which lack of holster enforces). It also doesn't help that you are all aimed and focused in with a terribly nausiatingly low FOV when unholstered, so fuck that. It also doesn't help that it makes it impossible to actually see your character as the bad ass he is in any enviornment because there's no free camera, and as such further disconnects you from the environment.

The textures are there why waste them?

There is literally no reason to remove holster, and don't give me the bullshit that the xbox couldn't handle it. Are you joking? That's the most bullshit excuse I've heard all year for anything.
[QUOTE=doommarine23;34718987]Because you paid the same, you get the same.

They should be outraged that it looks better on hardware that can support a better looking game?

[QUOTE=doommarine23;34718987]cause not a lot of games I've played had a tight narrative where choices matter[/QUOTE] What a coincidence, neither does Mass Effect. I'm just playin', you know how [i]deep[/i] those emails you got were. Made the hours I spent on sidequests really feel worth it.
With that facebook app thing, does the recruited account have to do anything in particular for it to give me MP access?
