“On my last week [working on Discovery], I approved the Starfleet uniforms, which they tossed out, and rejected the Klingons, which they kept.” Notably, both the Discovery uniforms and the Klingons from that era proved to be controversial with fans
That's the big what-if for me out of this article: what if disco had klingons that didn't become radioactive to so much of the audience?
The whole klingon war felt like it happened in a single episode or two and I wonder how much of that was them concluding they made an ugly-sonic and tossing it.
Maybe we would have seen more Ash Tyler and less Book, who knows 🤷♀️
Imagine you could sell $39.99 shovelware to almost every single kid that watches Jimmy Neutron, because you're gonna drown that show in ads for it.
The child then grinds down the parents' resolve and the money is eventually spent.
I totally didn't witness this first hand when sculpting feces into nickelodeon-shaped games.
They had me for a hot second because I saw Into The Breach on the app store 🤩
But you can't even run the game without logging in to a Netflix account 🤮
I mean I had one, but fuck that noise I'm not cosigning on that bullshit 😤
The ending was perfect!
Thanks for a much appreciated dose of whimsy to start my day 👍
Nothing augurs success like hearing about the "incredible talent" that just went to "other teams at EA" 🙃
The original ending was a very “that’s it?” moment.
The actually added a new game-over condition, by allowing you to just shoot the annoying reaper child, to quell the frustrations people felt.
Even in the remaster is still feels like a choice between red, blue, or green color endings.
RIP Marauder Shields, the true final boss of ME3 🙏
That, to me, is the real tragedy of Mass Effect, looking back through this new lens. BioWare seems to have borrowed many concepts from Revelation Space, but very little of it is explored with any depth, and none of the ideas are given new twists that improve upon them.
Damn, didn’t expect a thoughtful analysis of Revelation Space and its impact on Mass Effect.
But since Mass Effect avoided most of the extra weird stuff, the ending of Mass Effect 3 never really had a chance to be good.
Ahh, can’t talk about ME without addressing the ~~elephant in the room~~ the controversial ending.
Good read 👍
They calling me: I sleep (it goes to sms because I never setup voicemail)
I must call them: Real shit
As one who played every Dragon Age game, this expresses much of how I feel as well.
After such a long wait I wanted another Origins or Inquisition, but I got something else and it was a fine, forgettable, C+ entry. A game that wants you to wave a giant foam finger instead have thoughtful choices, but at least it delivered an ending.
Ya I’ll have some of that please.
Give them Andor instead of Ahsoka; they need to make more content that speaks to the universal human condition and less about the cool worlds and characters they've got. The people want Squid Game and Severance, not another cinematic universe.
