Dat Ending
Lucas won't care about this topic.
-
I've heard that it's terrible!
But I wouldn't know, because I stopped playing the series.
-
Apparently, Bioware has stated that they're making a new one in response to the overwhelmingly negative response. Ten bucks says they misunderstand why people hate it.

Not making a new one, they said they'll expand on this one.
-
Oh, bad endings. We're seeing a lot of those these days. Some that makes no sense, some that are really random.
-
It better have an honorable mention to Marauder Shields.
-
Bioware are going downhill at a rapid rate. I really hope they die out (I'd say I hope they recover but like that's gonna happen) and the few good developers they employ go to better studios.
-
I'm starting to feel the same way. I mean, they've only made a couple of fuckups, but they've been pretty big ones, and they seem to be on a slippery slope downward, so recovery seems unlikely. I also feel that way about Blizzard, but they still seem to be hugely profitable.

Godspeed, Shields.
Godspeed.

What, you don't like them Pandas? Or Pokémon battle?
But yeah, seems every new games is getting meh. I mean... pretty much every series, when a sequel comes out, a whole lot get negative criticism.
Take Soul Calibur V, for example. They removed so much. Or the new Silent Hill. I mean... I don't think it's bad, but... it's not the same. And creatures aren't as creepy as they used to.
Blizzard and their new WoW expansion or all the changes they brought, Diablo 3 having less grim graphics and such...
Mass Effect 3 apparently having a pretty bad ending. Call of Duty (yeah, I know) Modern Warfare 3 apparently being kind of... bad.
The last Metroid not being so good either (apparently), Final Fantasy... yeah.
Kinda sucks, though. Because somehow, I can't have as much fun playing older games as I used to, so I have to rely on newer one. And well... yeah.
Maybe I'll still try to finally play Mass Effect a bit more, so I can beat the second and hopefully play the third (in like -3 years, at my rate) and get that modified ending or whatever.

Metroid is the only thing you named that I'll bother to clarify: It was made by Team Ninja. Not Nintendo, but the people who make DOA and Ninja Gaiden. It seemed like a horrible match-up, and when it was done, reviewers agreed. Fans agreed. Outliers said it was pretty fun. Metroid isn't dead because of it, but I don't see any further Team Ninja partnerships from here on. Retro did quite well, and I'd like to see them make more, but the Prime series is done, so that will likely remain a dream.

People seem to imply the ending was the only bad thing about ME3. It's definetly not. I'd go as far as to say the gameplay changes were the only (debatably) good thing. The amount of choice you get is hugely reduced, conversations are pretty much cutscenes with the occasional renegade/paragon choice (no middleground). Your plot choices in the previous games are pretty much completely insignificant, despite Bioware insisting they'd have a huge impact. Hell, the choices you make IN MASS EFFECT 3 don't even impact things that much, some of the big stuff has literally no effect on the course of the story whatsoever. And they cut out a big part of backstory exposition, and a whole party member, pre-release, to add it as DLC so they can milk more money. Then insisted it was made post-release despite the lines from the "DLC" being present in the script leaks from months ago. Oh, and the plot is pretty ****ing terrible, too.
I don't like Bioware very much anymore.
-
I blame EA.
Seriously, it seems to me like all of their problems started after they were bought out.
-
Final Fantasy... yeah.
I actually liked FF13 better than 12. I haven't played 13-2 yet (not that the sequels count for very much) but as far as I'm concerned, FF's on the up.
-
While FFXIII could be an upgrade from FFXII, I still see it as a downgrade from FFXI and those before.

FFXI
Hnnnng!
Anyway, FFXiii2 fixed a lot of issues I had with FFXIII, which is good. Unfortunately it's just not living up to the legacy.
13 was way better than 12. None of the games expected me to be able to do anything on my own though. In 12 You popped some gambits and the game could pretty much handle everything on it's own you just had to move the character around while not fighting and then picking up crap.
In 13, you clicked auto and the game set up the most optimal skills to do against the enemy, for each battle. All the time.
Still think that FFIX and X did the best jobs, IX for the whole storyline and looks (although the downside was the slow battles because of all those flashy effects). X was pretty good all around, hoping that the HD port will come soon. 10 years since it got out. We're old.
Also, I was thinking about buying this for my brother for his birthday, still worth it or should i look for other options?
-
13-2 is a discombobulated piece of crap.
Also, wait for the next version of this game. Rumor has it, they're gonna pull a CAPCOM.
-
FF13-2's ending was pretty =< however like most games, they're into the whole DLC stuff so there will be an expanded ending sometime in the future.
Personally, I enjoyed it once I got the hang of it.
ME3...I still haven't beaten, I'm in the last mission and it's just been there like meh however I am aware of the ending(s) and was somewhat disappointed by how generic it seems.
-
To be honest I haven't played 13-2 that much. So far it's 13 with a little more rpg feeling to it, I can move around, not just roads that are dungeons all the time. We'll see how I feel about it when I'm done.
And yeah, noticed that they are bringing quite some dlc's. I downloaded that omega weapon and costume-pack. Thought it was like the only extra battle. Then today they released an Ultros and typhoon battle as well as armours inspired by Mass effect 3. Sheppard armour.(See, now the discussion about ff13-2 actually make sense in this thread!)
Also I guess that when you say "next version" you are talking about mass effect and not 13-2?
Anyway, decided not to get mass effect as a present, remembered that he haven't played any of the other two. And the store didn't have them so meh. We'll see what the future holds.

This game. THIS GAME.
-
You can prolly order them online from Gamestop or something.

Yeah but his birthday is tomorrow so I should've thought about that earlier.

Also Assassin Robe for Noel soon.
Square Enix has been weird lately.
-
Aweee how about...taking him to the store and letting him pick out as long as there is a limit on the dollars? << Easy way out.

Would feel kinda weird to take your 25 year old brother to the game store and let him pick something. Just sayin. Went with bioshock 1 and 2 instead. Hope he likes it.
And yeah another assassin robe.... How much did those japanese like assassins creed? First the robe in MGS4, then his appearance in soul calibur and now even final fantasy. It's odd.
-
Odd as hell. How dare they enjoy a western game character?
-
The nerve of some people =/
-
Hnnnng!
Derp. I meant FFIX, not FFXI.
-
I actually really liked ME3 and it's ending 0.o The game wraps up a lot of issues characters were working towards in the first two games, and the only thing I disliked about the ending was that the last scene with the Normandy was a tad bit confusing or rather lacking :/
