  • BTW, that forum that I linked is a really nice forum. Everyone seems mature and gives good responses and good conversation. The complete opposite of Battlelog, that's for sure.

    Good deal, I'll try to get on. Hopefully it isn't one of those betas that forgets to add the squad system.

    Actually its 7:01 EST. News just keeps getting better and better!

    Aussie will probably be playing the Witcher 2 a lot tomorrow night but I'm sure he will jump on eventually. I cannot wait to play around with gunsmith.

    Witcher is freaking amazing though.

  • Best and most informative video I have seen yet. "Our technology is able to tune gameplay with cloud tuning, meaning no updates or patches necessary. Thank God for technology, eh?"

    Wow.

  • My initial thoughts on the Witcher 2 is that it is amazing. One of the most mature RPG's I have played.

    I love the setting and the feel of this game. If it weren't for the use of magic and dragons and things like that you could believe this was a historical game based in 1400's.

    Skyrim is my favorite rpg I have ever played and so far I am enjoying the Witcher 2 much more. I love how the combat feels and the game is very mature. There is really nothing like it.

    So full unlock is available? I assume those will get wiped upon release?

    Of course. Just like every other Beta. Stats will be wiped on May 2nd when the Beta ends. Game releases May 22. During the Beta, all 50 levels are unlocked for each class and you can unlock everything in the game, just like a beta should be.

    It is still way to early to say which one I like better. They are really different games.

    Their only comparisons are that they are both RPG's and both in the fantasy genre.

    The story in the Witcher seems like it is going to be very good. The world and lore are very robust.

  • Mass Effect 3 spoilers ahead:

    So, I just finished the game and, as many people were, was perplexed by the ending. However, after being directed to and reading/watching numerous pieces on the "Indoctrination Theory," I actually like it a lot. Not as an ending, but I'll get to that in a second. What we see happen from Harbinger's laser knocking Shepard unconscious to him making the decision is totally a battle within Shepard's mind IMO. If you haven't read or watched the info on the IT I suggest you do so. There's a lot of supporting info, my favorite being that Bioware's comment on the matter was, "No comment." Also, if you're not aware (and I know most of you ITT are), if you get to the end with 5000+ EMS and choose the Renegade ending (destroy the Reapers), following the downed Normandy cutscene, it cuts to Shepard lying amongst concrete rubble and then you see him breathe. No way in hell he survived a fall from the Citadel back down to Earth. Much more likely he is still in London and unconscious.

    Now, I say all that to say this: This is most certainly NOT an ending. It is a great set piece IMO, the Reapers realizing Shepard is about to do something no organic life form has had the ability to do, and making one last-ditch effort to stop him through his indoctrinated mind. The real end to the story is when you resist the Reapers, make the Renegade choice, wake back up in London, and finish the fight. The big question is: Why wasn't this already included? Is it a much longer ending sequence than we think? Time constraints? I know one thing: Bioware has never disappointed me with their writing ability and I have a hard time believing they just "f'd up" the ending to a series as good and long as Mass Effect.

    Something tells me the DLC, which should be free but we know won't be, is going to have the ending that not only we all truly want, but secretly what Bioware has been planning all along.
