Avenged Probably

I'm not a fan of boss fights where you face one OP Super enemy, unless they've been built to be a super threat.

My wife just finished the game today, she said it was anti-climatic, which is kinda sad. And really disappointing, because she is the biggest Mass Effect fan I know (she named one of our cats Tali). So it doubly sucks that the series is being shelved for the time being (although, it might be a good thing).

 

Eventually I'll get back into the game, likely after I'm finished Persona 5 (I'm 75 hours in, I gotta be nearing the end)

I just finished it this morning and didn't feel that way at all. 

So for anyone who has finished/has looked it up, do the APEX missions impact the ending in any way? I plan to do literally everything available in the game.. just wondered if I should do them before the final mission too or if another time will be fine?

Hulking and Wiccan from Young Avengers are the obvious ones that I can recall.

She returned to that during ME2.

I am 100% sure they leave between ME2 and 3. Not any doubt at all.

Fair enough, I won't question it any more. 

Cloak and Dagger looks great!

I'm about 13 hours in and loving the game so far

They left the Milky Way before ME3. Most that info was not public at that time.

I got the impression the initiative departs the Milky Way even before the first game because...

Finally watched Batman vs Superman after putting it off for ages. Don't know what the fuss was about, I quite liked it.

I'm also up to episode 2 and i'm loving it. 

I haven't seen a complaint in an Iron fist review that can't be put to "keeping to source material" 

I'm looking forward to it.

I can't handle the way the animals move around.

If you read what I posted, that's why I'm annoyed at him

Oh I thought you meant your high hopes had been crushed by the article because you had already gotten them too high!

If you read the article it actually immediately says that's it's overwhelming in a good way

I'm a massive fan of Tekken from both gameplay and lore perspective, but I swear to God if they have yet another cheap as fuck final boss who you just have to chip away at with low kicks then I'm going to lose my shit. I'm worried they'll never top the Kazuya/Devil Kazuya combo for final bosses.

That's how I beat final bosses in every beat em up  

But really, Tekken 2 is the one that made me fall in love with the series but 3 was the one which made me obsessed. It was largely the addition of Hwoarang who quickly became my favourite which sealed it for me. Oh and Panda, Panda is awesome. 

I really enjoyed the 2 recent MK games as well as Injustice, but largely for the stories more than anything else.

Eh?

You mean you bought a new hard drive, or?

The update means the PS4 now supports external hard drives for installing games, so I already have a 2TB drive.. just plug it in and now I can have all my games installed at once  

Tekken 3 was a brilliant one and I have high hope for the up and coming 7.

The update is sweet, now have 2.5 TB available space instead of 500GB  

I loved the ending and though it was genius.

For me, the first time I realised I loved Mass Effect and something set it apart from other games was in the first game when you choose the fate of the Rachni Queen. Play it safe and make a whole race extinct, or do the 'right thing' but potentially put the rest of the universe at risk further down the line. Such a tough decision which was so morally grey with potentially awful ramifications is what made me fall in love with the series. So fast forward to the end of the trilogy and the last thing you have to do is make an essentially impossible decision, it blew me away and really messed with me in the best kind of way. 

As I said, lack of epilogue was annoying, but they corrected that anyway. As for decisions in the series not mattering? They absolutely did. There is no way every little thing could have influenced one ending scene, it's way too complex. The choices mattered and the results of which were seen throughout the third game, where everything was resolved on the way to that final scene.  

I understand why people didn't like it, but I don't think it deserved how much negativity it got.

I think the difference was a slight thing, like one person died off screen during the last bit in London... which was moot anyway because everyone got fucked essentially. 

I still maintain that it was one of the greatest endings to a game I've experienced and it went over most peoples heads. That said, I did have a massive issue with the lack or prologue (which they did correct).

I only just noticed this thread despite being in the group on Goodreads and adding a bunch of you already. I gave myself a 24 target with the idea of one normal book and one graphic novel per month.

A little behind here but finally watched the second half of Agents of SHIELD season 3. Really good stuff but god damn I was not prepared for how intense that ending was!

I will go and see it. I loved the show as a kid and I love the idea of it being reimagined.

Fast travelled to Morthal to pick up my man Valdimar (I sent him home so I could do werewolf stuff), and immediately two dragons roll up and start dicking about. One firing fire, and one ice. Shit got hectic. But two random NPCs (Lami and her fella) died fighting the good fight, so I pick pocketed their house key and moved in. Result. 

It's what they would have wanted.

That's just what he looks like.
