What Game Are You Playing Right Now?

I dunno. I always was under the impression that male Shep is the default playthrough but that's just assumption. But I do look forward to playing her character.

Aside from the difference in performance there is literally no difference between the two. Male Shep is only default because gamers are sexist pigs.

Ah gotcha. Well I'll keep that in mind for sure. Mass Effect is on the back burner atm because im having too much fun playing Shadow of War.

Also qwert: hAve you been able to finish a full run of Slay the Spire. I got to the last boss once and just destroyed him. It was amazing. The cards I had were the perfect combination to take him down quickly.

you really have to devote a bunch of time to a traditional fighter to do anything cool, it is true

There's definitely a steep learning curve with Street Fighter derived fighting games. I love the King of Fighters series, for example, and it's got lot's of quarter-circle, half-circle (and worse) directional inputs.

I'm used to this kind of thing and pretty good at it on a PS2 controller, but I'm not going to deny that it makes for a pretty big wall to smack your head into if you're just trying to get into these games for the first time.

Oh well.

Also, for the record: ME is amazing. But it only gets really amazing with all the DLC. Especially ME3... the game loses so much without "Citadel", it's not even funny.
Catching your ship mates banging in your closet, or booby trap your apartment while drunk ...or the actual emotional depth of the romance you can experience in this DLC..

Never had the DLC till I pirated that **** but I haven't gotten that far in replaying ME2 yet. ****ing DLC. If it's important to the story then why the **** doesn't it come with the game?

Because why not milk cows if they're willing?

Because EA is contractually obliged by the Hell that spawned them, to torment us all.
And seriously, I didn't even name the worst offender here:

Spoiler for spoiler:

And the worst thing is, that if it was some other game, you could probably see a youtube compilation of their plot and cut scenes so you don't have to buy or play them.. but here ? Take the Citadel dlc - apart from adding a whole new neighborhood to the citadel, apart from a fun quest, the whole dlc is a buildup to a party.. and the amount of variables at that party is staggering and depends on your choices, in this and previous games. It's still on youtube, but a compilation of it all while fun, is nowhere near the actual fun of having a party for your friends, who you made on the way here, on the eve of you all probably dying fighting the reapers..
Sigh..

seems like every game i play, the majority of the player base wants to flame the developers for being cash grabbers or money hungry but i've yet to experience anything even remotely close to how bad EA is.

and yet i will still buy Battlefield V, FIFA 19, and if/when a new Titanfall game comes out imma be all over that **** too. if only i had more self control to boycott.
