    I have finished all the Mass effect games (the 3rd, two different endings), excepted Andromeda. I begun andromeda but the animations are really ugly, and the human characters look like apes, their bodies are really badly proportioned. I don't know if I could forget these problems and continue the adventure in this game.

    A mmo in the Mass Effect universe would have been really cool, or other games with the possibility to play the other races. Mass Effect franchise is really cool, even if their devs have closed the door of a lot of possibilities for a real Mass Effect 4 or 5.

    I totally stop to play STO, and after Mass Effect; I don't know if I would have the courage to come back. :p

    btw, what do you think about Bioshock? maybe the next game, that I'm going to try.

    thx, for you comments.

    According to Starship Troopers and proponents of the theory of evolution there is nothing wrong with humans looking like apes since they believe that humans and apes descended from a common ancestor. Also in what way do you believe that the MEA characters are really badly proportioned? In what way are the animations ugly? I used to watch a Let's Play of this series on Youtube, do not see these problems you are talking about.

    Humans and apes evolved from a common ancestor, but the proportions of the various species of genii Ho*o and Pan differ due to evolutionary pressures; a human should not have the proportions of either an ape or a monkey, any more than an elephant should be proportioned like a rhinoceros.

    And the Marauder combat suits had ape-like proportions because the human operator had to fit inside. (The helmet's proportions were as they were largely to accommodate the sensor suite and displays; Rico speculated that this might be the origin of the common sergeant's call, "Listen up, you apes," but eventually decided that this was probably the norm at least as far back as Rome.)

    Battlestar Galactica Deadlock

    One thing about Deadlock I want to know is... why the latest DLC has higher requirements for OS than the base game. Base game can run on Windows 7, but the Ghost Fleet DLC says it requires Windows 8?

    Are you up for a space combat flight simulator game? Do you have an old joystick lying around?

    Because Freespace 2 still holds up quite well, and the fandom's maintenance and improvements to it since the source code was released has basically been keeping its graphics up to par with more modern games (you can also basically get the first game's campaign in it as a mod/custom campaign if you want too).

    People have given a lot of love to the game as far as mods and custom campaigns go too. Babylon 5 got a pretty big mod-campaign as I recall, and that was back when I last played it like 3 years ago, so there may well be more stuff to boot by now.

    Its not an RTS or MMO, of course. But its always worth noting as even the original, unmodified/updated game is still one of the best space fighter combat games ever made.
  • legendarylycan#5411 legendarylycan Member Posts: 37,280 Arc User
    oh hell yes, definitely give freespace 2 a buy - it's one of the best space flight sims that's ever been made (i say with a none-too-small amount of bias, since i heavily played it many moons ago)​​

    that's why i said ONE of the best...not that i ever played any wing commander game - maybe someone will do for one of those games what they did for FS2...but it's certain that none of them will ever get an official remaster since CR is too busy fleecing hundreds of millions from gullible idiots via scam citizen​​

    In the meantime, you actually can get the games from either GOG or Origin. I'd suggest GOG honestly, as they have all the games. As far as I know Origin only has 3 and 4, and maybe Prophecy.

        those are getting remastered, apparently

        but the C&C game i REALLY want remastered is generals - preferably with the wall and POW systems they never finished for the original game finished and made working, but i know that's not likely to happen​​

        Don't know about Mech 2 Mercs, but I have played MechWarrior 2. Loved the Timber Wolf (Mad Cat) and Marauder. I also remember just landing a PPC NEAR an Elemental would kill it. lol
        Also someone actually remade the soundtrack in 2013, and people were amazed.

        Only in the first 3 games. 4 was more of an almost civil war between the Confederation and the Border Worlds, and Prophecy introduced a brand new enemy, the insectoid Nephilim.

        I guess you could play Doom Eternal now that it's out. Kerbal Space Program is another I'd recommend. It's pretty fun.
