jesus fucking christ, worst start to a meg thread in history

I heard they will patch all the gays romances to be straight from now on

I don't see anything wrong with this though?

kek

>sequel
Biodrones gonna drone
This game sucked so much that people didn't want to pirate it, THAT'S HOW MUCH IT SUCKED

All of them start out this way, what are you even on?

You ain't seen nothing yet escape while you can
yay

>absolutely ruining relations with the angara if he fucks up

r u autism??

>not making a sequel to a bad game after setting one up
did u fotget what ME1 was to ME2 :^)

Stealing tech/information from allies you have just opened negotiations with when you are of the rare few people outsiders to have even been allowed to set foot on their hidden sanctuary planet is beyond fucking idiotic

Where's the Scott/Sara sfm?

>me1 was worse then me2
in gameplay? Yes. Story? No.

That' a damn shame. I look forwards to romancing Suvi with Scoot though

Too bad most people buy things based on marketing alone, and not on what some virgin tripfag on Veeky Forums think

It's not a good story either.

An ancient evil awakens and it's intentions are beyond your comprehension! The character writing is also universally worse.

Friendly reminder that hybrids are abominations and should be treated as such and anyone who thinks they're a good idea has no idea how basic genetics works.

kill yourself my man.

Not until I get some Scott/Sara sfm

Better get crackin if you want me to off myself man

the thing about hybrids is you gotta be more mad at the parents more than the kid

What is Ryder always doing in his Omni-Tool?

You're right, it's not the children's fault that they were forced into the world.

However, to be honest I feel like any hybrid that would ever be developed would turn out about as well as how Genestealer hybrids look. (i.e. not very good)

I didn't know ass sex could happen in mid air

>You can market literal shit twice to the same buyer
Doubt

literary wise yes me1 is better then me2, you had a understandable path to the end goal, in me2 you do recruit a fuck ton of people for???? something, literally only mordin and the reaper iff are needed to defeat the collecters, so why the fuck am I bringing jack along other then to have more meat in the fireing line

hey courier

can't wait till you realize frostbite is suck a pain in the ass to where sfm porn is about a year away, and the game sucks so much that it's doubtful it will be released

You know nothing about the gaming industry, please stop typing.

Texting Vetra.

looking up turian dating tips and cuddle positions

No worries, I'll still be here asking in a year. I just don't want to miss it when it happens.

>literally only Mordin and the reaper IFF
Then how come I die at the end if I don't have at least two team mates with me when we run away from the bad collectors

>I didn't know ass sex could happen in mid air
Biotic are fantastic aren't they?

>you will never fug your waifu with biotics
Sucks, man. Sex with Cora must be amazing

>hey courier

I'm not the tripfag. More than one person in these threads uses Aku pictures.

I used them first though, everyone else including the tripfag is a follower.

I feel like hybrids should be executed on a case by case basis. Makes me wonder though, what are some examples of good human hybrids?

We saw Cora fugging, she doesn't use biotics.

Because Scoot is dumb

Bioware is a good developer

looking at Sara's naked pics

They could be better

>Doubt
oh sweet summer child, you can fool some of the people all the time you know.

yeah dragon age cisqusition was the last dragon age ever, there will be no new game
MEA has a good chance of being the last mass effect game, if not it will defiantly be the second to last game unless someone buys the ip

Good luck on your degenerate pursuits

I meant only mordin and the reaper iff have a stated purpose towards the end goal, getting a fuck ton of goons HELPS the end goal, but none of them have a reason for being there expect mordin

>let's use our psionic powers of badassery to fuck
Why biotics aren't turned into robotic super soldiers and instead are used to cum I will never know

There is literally nothing wrong with being an sjw in 2017

Tann reads Ryder's emails?

The only thing in the entirety of Mass Effect that could be considered a "hybrid" is how the Asari mate with other races. But they get pass the main issue of hybridization because no foreign DNA is really involved in the process. It's all still 100% Asari DNA.

In real life there is no case of human hybrids with other species. We are the only species within our genus, so we can't naturally hybridize with other creatures. There was an attempt by the Soviet Union during the Cold War to develop human/gorilla hybrids by inseminating women with gorilla sperm or inseminating gorillas with human sperm. However all those experiments yielded absolutely nothing and all the subjects eventually died.

See, humans have extreme trouble with just trying to hybridize other creatures on Earth, who share a good portion of our DNA. Think about how much more of a leap that'd be when we add alien DNA which is most like 0% like our own.

>unless someone buys the ip

I kinda want everyones opinion on this, who would make the best use of the mass effect ip?
My vote goes to ATLUS.

No more yous for you though, next time try harder

Sorry, I mean't in fiction, I know very well there are no actual human hybrids.

>not recognizing that the file names are different [one set is numbered] and posting styles have nothing in common

step it up or lurk moar

Do you mean in just Mass Effect or fiction in general? Because there's a bunch in other fiction but I'm a /little/ more tolerant of it because those cases it's soft sci-fi which isn't suppose to be as grounded in reality.

Bungie could try their hand at it, although I doubt the story would be nearly as enriching

Not saying that he does, but he COULD, if he wanted to.

In general, please.

Huh, that's actually big news.

ign.com/articles/2017/03/16/horizon-zero-dawn-sales-pass-26-million

According to Sony, HZD sold 2.6 million copies in two weeks. Surely, nearly two months from then, sales are well passed 3 million. EA said they expected Andromeda to sell 3 million copies in the first week:

vg247.com/2017/02/01/ea-expects-mass-effect-andromeda-to-sell-around-3-million-units-in-the-first-week/

I scoffed at this prediction. But if NDP is accurate, then that prediction very well could've come true. And it does match that bioware developer stating "several million of you have joined us on this journey" in a press statement a week after the game's release.

But if that were the case, shouldn't EA be announcing their sales? I remember they announced ME3 sold 3.5 million in the first week. If MEA did similar numbers despite the shit publicity, wouldn't that me brag-worthy? Why wouldn't they say something?

>implying mordin could live the tubes or provide cover fire in the second fireteam by himself
u r autist if u think no otha team member nessissary :^)

>better than patriarchy zero male
Get back to me when it sells better then a good game

EA almost never announce sales, they just give blanket statements. The last time they did was for Star Wars Battlefront.
For Battlefield 1 they press released this, pic related

Well, one of the first things I mentioned was the Genestealer hybrids from Warhammer 40k. They're brought about through a Tyranid virus fucking up your reproductive system so when you reproduce you'll instead produce hybrids with Genestealer DNA. There's multiple generations of them, with the first ones looking the most horrific while the 4th generation look almost indistinguishable from human.

There's also hybrids in Star Wars too, with humans reproducing with many other races like Twi'lek and Sith.

In Star Control (which has the best alien designs in my opinion) the Syreen are able to interbreed with humans.

Star Trek also has half-Vulcans and half-Klingons.

You get a star for trying

>(ME3 sold 1.3 million in its first month)

EA said it sold 3.5 million in one week. What's going on with these numbers?

NPD don't track digital sales.

>mass effect made by atlus
>finally becomes true waifu simulator

But they'd all be anime

MEA sells better than HZD? The fuck is wrong with people?

Marketing > internet memes

Mass Effect has a developed fan base already. Plus it lets you fug someone with a CC

Sure, but HZD is a much better game than bloody MEA.

I'm beginning to think that all the memes were actually anticipated by Bioware.

You also have to consider that sequels sells better than new franchises

Yeah, a lot of people bought the game just because they're fan of the ME1-3. Suckers

Oh so like the kett

Oh, I never saw hybrids of them, i'll have to see what that is all about. ibf sith are evil jedi not a species

I'll look up star control

I find it funny that the hardest mainstream sci-fi has something so soft, at least they try to explain it.

>release on multiple consoles and pc
>sell more than a ps4 exclusive

Name recognition + ME having a relatively devoted fanbase already. Bioware's official statistics for ME3 and ME2 indicated that only about 40% of players in each game had played one of the previous games, but that's still basically 2 million "fans", a big fraction of whom can be guaranteed to buy the game in the first week. ME3 sold 890,000 copies in the first 24 hours according to EA, and probably hundreds of thousands of people pre-ordered it.

NPD numbers are mostly just consoles though

>tfw I had an itch at the back of my neck when they reveled the game's concept

Don't get me wrong, good concept in theory, but something just rubbed me the wrong way. Call it shit-radar or something.

I agree. Loved the game plus it's the first normal game my wife wanted to play. Normally she only plays the sims 4.

good

Can't feel like you're fighting for something if it doesn't feel like home, I guess.

That's the impression I got from MEA anyway. I didn't feel like I was fighting for a place there because I had no place there.

If there is a sequel (and I hope there is), I'd probably feel like there's more of a 'home' in andromeda. Also that juicy nexus conspiracy

The Tyranids a little different than the Kett because while the Kett's effects are immediate, the Genestealer taint takes a while to spread, often generations. Eventually, Lovecraftian-style cults begin to form around the hybrids and eventually when either the cult is large enough or a Tyranid invasion is imminent, the cult will become militant and start attacking the defenders of the world to undermine them for the Tyranids.

As well, when the invasion happens the hybrids aren't exactly "accepted" back into the larger whole like the Kett are with exaltation. Afterwards, the hybrids themselves are often recycled along with all the other biomass of the planet.

The Kett seem more like "biological Borg" to me than "Tyranids."

I hope in sequel we'll see the first human city.

Eh, I hope bio montreal learnt from their mistakes

Didn't a lot of shit go down at Bioware with people quitting and all that while MEA was in production?

Hopefully they have a better team working on the sequel.

Another mine bites the dust

Main key people like Casey Hudson left during its development, yes. Maybe this is the reason MEA was subpar.

It got too left for him so he left :^)

kek

But yeah, Microsoft offer was probably really good.

>Didn't a lot of shit go down at Bioware with people quitting and all that while MEA was in production?

No. Like 6-8 or so people of varying notability left.

Hudson left years ago and wasn't working directly on MEA anyway, he was lead on that new Bioware Edmonton game.

>ywn send a long, ranting message to Drack about how awful Tann is
>ywn hack into his office cameras just to watch him cry

Honestly, when I heard the concept of "it takes six hundred years after ME3, in Andromeda!", I was hoping for a story about the hardships of colonization(for both the colonists and the natives), but also one of hope and cross-cultural understanding.

But then we get a story about ferrero roche looking cocksuckers trying to kill purple blob people while everyone involved in this fucking colonization effort is an irrational cunt(buh muh baby boy cant come out of cryo today guess Im going to break the FUCKING HYDROPONICS SO WE STARVE TO DEATH) or a supreme memester(OOOOH HE LOOKS ANGRY PROBABLY BECUZ AH SHOT HEEM IN DA FAAAAAAAAACE!).

Just, how could they possibly fuck up this bad? Did they have aanti-brainstorm session or something? Like, where they sat down, thought up good ideas, shtuck 'em to a board and said "we need to do the exact opposite of this!".

Christ this fucking game so glad I got a refund.

>ywn watch Tann physical wretch while reading Scott and Vetra's sexting conversations searching for blackmail material

Reminder that only truly intelligent people waifu the Moshae.

I dunno man, the more you say the more it seems they inspired the kett more than the borg.

With the whole colonialism theme going on in ME:A, would it be a good idea for ME:A2 to have a sort of Heart of Darkness vibe to it?

>Kett were only localized to Heleus; the Archon's death was the end of them
>Milky Way races continue to expand all across worlds, activating vaults, etc.
>Eventually start taking advantage of various worlds/environments/peoples (Angara)

>Ryder can either be horrified at the Pandora's Box he's just blown the fuck open or just literally become Mr. Kurtz sans insanity

Am I just autistic or what?

Nope, that would be people who waifu Jack. An engaging character, memorable design, and most of all she gives you fear-rousal: The exhilirating mix between fear and arousal. Happens when someone who could easily kill you also instills much lust into you too.

Hilarious. Made me laugh 10/10.
However, I do appreciate that the Kett have an established dominance throughout the Galaxy and have already uplifted meltiple species. The Jardaan are what make me annoyed.

I'm glad they didn't just go "hurr its the milky way but andromeda" and already have Mass Relay-like travel and stuff.

People on the Nexus are super stupid - agreed. And Colonisation bitch herself (forgot her name) is a cunt for no reason. The only good Nexus species so far are the Krogan, Morda is fukn sweet (except for that shitty fight).

helghastanon irl

fug i want chocolate now

After complaints and the critical reception about the lighter tone, the plot will definitely be darker, but I don't think they will do anything to the angara.

As long as you aren't autistic as Helghastanon, everything is alright.
