One of the big overarching reasons I bought a Steam Deck was actually in remembering a video I seen years ago of one of the original Nintendo Switch adverts where a bunch of dudes were sat outside somewhere looking really pumped like they were both playing a heated and fun co-op game but the screen had been edited to show Male Shepard and Kaidan Alenko naked in the romance scene from Mass Effect 3

Some more info on the Mass Effect board game, from co-designer Calvin:

"Hi all, Calvin here, co-designer of the game. I've gathered all the frequently asked questions on social media and bgg and gathered them into some answers for you. Feel free to ask more questions if yours is not answered, and if I can answer it I will. I will be updating this as more information about the game becomes available. Release info - The release date is (hopefully) November depending on the gods of shipping - Price is confirmed, the game will be $50/£40 - The team is currently working on translation deals for 9 or so languages. More details soon. - For info on pre-orders go to https://www.modiphius.net/pages/mass-effect-signup - There are currently no plans for a collector’s edition vs standard edition - It is not crowdfunded, the game is direct to retail - "If you'd like to support the game right now, there's nothing better than going into your local FLGS and asking them if they'll stock the game when it comes out. With the vast amount of great games coming out every week, retailers rely on fans asking about the game. This helps them gauge how much to buy, the more people ask, the more buzz they know there is, the more confident they are to buy enough and the more likely there's one waiting for you on the shelf when you go in :-) That feeds up the chain; the more retailers ask their sales reps at Asmodee, the more Asmodee goes, "Oh wait, let's order more, so we have enough for all the shops". Plot - The game is set on the planet Hagalaz, early during the events of Mass Effect 3 - The players are tasked with investigating a crashed Cerberus research cruiser which could have info that contributes to War Readiness and could help stop the Reapers - The game is designed so people who have never played Mass Effect can still enjoy it. Eric hasn't played the games as much as I did so he got to do what he calls “the meathead test” on all the theming and story. - We worked with Bioware on all the plot and theming. - Yes you can do calibrations in this game Basic game info - Co-operative squad tactics - 1-4 players - Included are six 32mm minis, masc Shep, fem Shep, Liara, Garrus, Tali, and Wrex - Not many other components to keep price and complexity low - 45 minute missions - 3-5 missions per campaign - Branching paragon/renegade choices + sidequests - Enough missions to replay the campaign several times without repeats - Solo play is really fun, in fact I like all the player counts equally, which is something I’m very proud that we were able to achieve in this game - Solo play is basically multi-handing, you control more than one character. - There is no legacy aspect, the game is fully resettable - There will be new original art"

[character limit text break]

"Gameplay info - Low rules complexity, but with lots of tactical depth. We aimed for an audience of Mass Effect fans who might not know anything about board games. Board gamers should still find something to enjoy if they’re into co-op tactics. - A group that just wants to turn their brain off and blast through the game should have an easy time - But a group who wants to get the best endings, complete all the sidequests, get all the level ups will have to min-max pretty heavily - The game has relatively low randomness. Planning, prediction, and preparation are very important to avoid bad outcomes - but there’s still enough randomness to avoid AP as players try to plan out perfect turns. - Important gameplay elements include positioning and combo-ing abilities with other players. - There is a tactical map. - Players will level up their characters by performing in game actions and learn new abilities. - We got all 6 Shepard classes in there. It is one of the things I am very proud of doing. - Re: alpha gamers, Eric and I do not believe it is the designer’s job to solve for jerks at your gaming table. Obviously we have designed the game so that every player has something to contribute and there’s plenty of info so that it’s hard to track. But we also recommend having adult conversations with your table partners.

New original art 👀

[carrinth]

Whelp I've done it. Just finished Witch Hunt which now marks the end of my Dragon: Age Origins run. 10/10 would recommend. Especially Awakening and Witch Hunt DLC.

And y'know what? Witch Hunt was worth it for this moment. A fitting end for my Warden. Reunited with his love (and baby mama) and peaces out of work and responsibilities via magic mirror. Just look at that face. I think this is honestly the first time I've seen my Warden-Commander smile in a LONG time. Poor guy.

Minor DA2 rant below cut;

Actually I finished it awhile ago but had been procrastinating by replaying Awakening.

Because uggghhhhhh... I don't want to play DA2.

Don't get me wrong, I'm sure I'll grow to love Hawke again but right now my mood is just... meh. Replaying Origins and all its DLCs just made the differences in quality and content between the two all the more jarring. Aaaand on a more personal level -- I don't want to stop being a Grey Warden. ಥ_ಥ

For the last near 150 hours, I was sold on being a Grey Warden. In fact, I think my best fun was Awakening where I actually got to BE a Grey Warden doing Grey Warden things WITH OTHER GREY WARDENS. We ALL drank the nasty juice! It was a bonding experience! This game spent so much time building up the lore and excitement of being a Grey Warden -- leaving so many unanswered questions about the Taint, the Blight, what it all means, dO wE GET griFFONs -- only to just... drop it all in DA2.

I'm just so confused by the direction DA2 went. Replaying Origins with the knowledge of the upcoming mage/templar plot in DA2, the conflict in Origins felt... minor. Sure we get hints here and there that things are Kinda Bad. But nothing major. Heck, I played a Circle Mage as my Origin and I never felt that 'Oh wow, mage rebellion should totally be Main Focus of the next game!' Like don't get me wrong, mage/templar conflict is 😌👌but the Darkspawn and Grey Wardens was what set Dragon Age apart from other fantasy.

"Well the Blight's over Carrinth, there's no more story to tell about Grey Wardens" you say. And yet, Awakening did a fantastic job of making an entire campaign post-Blight.

Part of me feels like if they didn't want to keep the Main Character the same (ala Mass Effect with Cmdr Shepard) then couldn't they have still made the DA2 MC a grey warden? Like a junior(?) Warden that's investigating Corypheus or whatever in Kirkwall but gets caught in the mage/templar mess. Sure we would have gotten a very different story but would that have been so bad?

In the end, I will likely end up playing DA2, if only for the excellent companions and to reunite with my Sad Mage and Angry Spirit Husbands. But at the moment... *sigh*

So goodbye Marzel Amell. You were the best Warden-Commander and I had fun throwing Storm of the Century on fools, flexing my maxed out Coercion, and painstakingly working out TACTICS. I will probably still keep stubbornly drawing Awakening fanart (because I am Not Normal about those idiots) but DA2 stuff will likely eventually bleed in. ༼ つ ◕_◕ ༽つ

Farewell Marzel and go live gloriously in mirror land with ur spider lady and kid.

Mass Effect 1 replay, part one of Noveria:

-Am I imagining it, or is human diversity greater in Mass Effect 1 than in later games? I feel we encounter more humans from obviously different cultural backgrounds. I’ll have to keep an eye in later games to see if that’s true or not.

Bit ironic if it's true, considering the emphasis 2 and 3 place on human diversity.

-When greeting Matsuo, Alliance is the neutral option and spectre is paragon. The reasoning is obvious this time; spectres have the right to carry weapons but the Alliance does not.

-As others have pointed out; why is Matsuo the only one to use honorifics? Presumably others do as well if they're languages use them, but only Matsuo’s honorifics are displayed.

-When Liara goes on the offensive in cutscenes, she doesn’t draw a weapon. She prepares to use biotics. Nice touch

-Tali in the conversation with Matuso: Home is a state mind.

Home is quite a loaded concept for Quarians, isn’t it?

-Liara, outside by the Normandy: I do not like this place. Too many dark secrets.

Rather ironic, for one who will later become an information broker, than the Shadow Broker

-I did not realized that there’s a conversation with Liara at the security check on the Noveria. This is actually a very well done conversation. You even have the option to send her back to the Normandy, since you don’t trust her to stand with you when you confront her mother.

-Liara, quoting to an asari idom: Only a child never contradicts her mother

Like it, and it’s true. Defying your parents is part of becoming an adult.

-Tali, bottom floor of the port: My people have dealt with the corporations on Noveria in the past. They pay well and don’t ask any questions.

Not something I had considered before, but quite logical. And Noveria corporations research AI; the Quarians are experts at AI. Of course Noveria would value them.

-There’s an ERCS guard that wants a doughnut. I actually like this guy – for what’s essentially a cop, at least he’s not corrupt. Unlike the other guard you can speak to.

-Liara, bottom floor of the port: Do not be fooled by these civilized surroundings. This is a place of secrets and lies.

If the game had done something with this, Liara's transition to an information broker would have had a much greater impact.

Maybe use it to show how far she lost herself between ME1 and ME2 - Shepard could have brought up her behavior in Noveria versus her Illium, be worried that something must have gone very wrong.

And Liara come back with the obvious - Shepard died. (Even if the actual reason is losing Feron.)

Also would have been a nice opportunity to force Shepard to grapple with their death, instead of gloss over it as the game normally does.

-Lilihierax was obviously meant to have a larger role. Shame it didn’t make it in – I like him quite a lot too.

-Mallene Callis – She is hilariously blunt about using Shepard. Just jumps straight into what she wants Shepard to do, no intro.

This sidequest is quite interesting, because outside the codex it’s one of the few times you get insight into the kind of genetic modifications that can be performed.

Oddly enough, refusing the quest completely gets you more paragon points than warning Binary Helix about her.

She offers you a reward of 500 credits. Lady, I’m at max money.

-Rafael Vargas introduction – This is different! Paragon intro is Alliance, renegade is spectre. Is this because Shepard is behaving corruptly by helping Mallene spy on him?

-Lori Qui’in takes one look at you and goes “opportunity!”. He may be on the outs but he’s having quite a good time. Love this dude.

-Lorik mentions Benezia wore a pin striped suit, but all we ever see her in is that ridiculous black outfit. I bet she looks better in the suit.

-The power dynamic Lorik describes is interesting. Benezia is a matriarch – they’re supposed to be some of the most powerful beings in the galaxy.

But Benezia’s power on Noveria comes from Saren, because he’s a major investor in Binary Helix.

She also introduces herself as Saren’s assistant, which is probably not a typical position for any matriarch.

Did this not set off any red flags?

-Anoleis repeatedly refers to Saren as an Agent. Is the fact that his status was revoked not known?

I repeat: Shepard’s meetings with the Council were public!

-Lorik doesn’t want blood on the carpet of Synthetic Insights, but there isn’t any carpet. Bioware, c’mon.

That one ECRS Guard even says later Lorik complains about the blood on the carpet. Is carpet really that hard to model?

-Stirling calling us cop killers is absurd. Lady, if you’re taking money on the side for a job you’re a mercenary.

-Liara disproves of Shepard giving Lorik’s evidence to Anoleis. Honestly, it’s good to know that even she has limits when it comes to Shepard’s behavior.

-Liara does approve of helping Gianna remove Anoleis. No surprises there.

-Lorik offers me a 500 credit award too. Did Bioware not realize how easy it was to come by credits in the game?

-Gianna doesn’t normally like spectres… How many does she deal with?

She’s dealt with Saren, hasn’t she. That would do it.

[seithr]

im replaying mass effect 3 rn cause the "Miss My Fucking Crew And Shepard" feelings got too big, and im playing on insanity to give NG+ a bigger challenge

Unfortunately it seems like Shepard's unethical Maxxed Out Batarian Kishock Harpoon Gun is making this game still a bit easy so i may have to Willingly put down my favourite gun hm. oh well. i have to use the NORMAL weapons everyone else does like a dinky assault rifle or SMG smh

[moos-ity]

I tried putting this in the description but it messed everything up.

I only use one account and I post my art

The ones in bold are my main interests :]

Interests: Mass Effect, Red Dead Redemption, Love Live, Yakuza series, Ace Attorney, Sam and Max, Madoka Magica, Death Stranding, Disco Elysium, Dishonored, The Witcher 3, Vocaloid/Utaloid or any vocal synths

I’m replaying Dishonored so i can play the other two, and I haven’t finished The Witcher 💔

[r0sa4077]

Absolutely no one has asked for this but these are my top 10 favorite video games. I sort of ranked these based on the emotional impact they had on me, how many times I've replayed them, how many hours I have in the games, and how well I think they were made, etc.

10. Life is Strange: Before the Storm

I liked Chloe as a protagonist more than Max. I also really enjoyed Rachel and how you couldn't rewind this time, and you were stuck with your choices. And the emotional impact of the story has stuck with me after all these years.

9. Elden Ring

Elden Ring introduced me to souls-like games and showed me that they were not as hard as I originally thought. I love the gameplay, and the lore is ✨️chefs kiss✨️.

8. A Way Out

I can't describe how heartbroken I was at the end of this game. It takes you through so much laughter and heartache. And you get to experience it all with another person since it's made to be co-op. It's such a fun and emotionally impactful story.

7. Shadow of Mordor

I am a huge LoTR fun, but more than that, I am a huge lore and Silmarillion fan. Even the minor inclusion of Middle Earth lore in this game had me geeking out. I also really enjoy the story and gameplay.

6. Dragon Age 2

The main character, Hawke, has my entire heart. And so do all the other characters. The gameplay might not be as good as others on this list, but to me, the story and the side characters have left such an impact on my brain.

5. Halo: Reach

The Halo series as a whole has a special place in my heart anyway, but something about Reach has stuck with me after all these years. I love the whole cast of characters. I love the level design and the combat. I love the story. I have probably played this game about 6 times. I have another friend who loves Halo, and when we just want to talk or need to vent, we'll play Reach, and we can play it while on autopilot and just talk to each other.

4. Red Dead Redemption 2

I love so much about this game. The story, the open world, all the characters, Arthur Morgan. Unfortunately, I was spoiled for the ending before I got to play it, but the impact of it hit just as hard. I don't think I've ever cried so much about a video game besides this one and number two on this list.

3. Assassin's Creed: Blackflag

Assassin's Creed was one of the series that really got me into gaming, and Blackflag is by far my favorite. Edward Kenway is such a good and interesting protagonist, and I really enjoyed playing as him in one of my favorite series. To this day, it is the only game I've ever completed to 100% in quests, collectibles, and achievements because I just couldn't stop playing it

2. Mass Effect 3

When I tell you that I am obsessed with the Mass Effect universe, I mean it. There is just something about Bioware's world building, character work, and storytelling that I just love so much. Commander Shepard has got to be one of my favorite protagonists of all time. And like I said, this game and RDR2 the two games that I have actually sat there and sobbed over. When I finished ME3, I immediately wanted to replay from the beginning of the trilogy, but I had to stop myself and go finish other games I had already started. I think about this trilogy and the characters from it so much that I actually read Mass Effect fanfiction, and I'm not a big fanfic reader.

1: The Sims 4

This one might seem really out of place with the rest of the bangers on this list, but listen ... this game is like a guilty pleasure. I have so many hours in it that it's kind of embarrassing. I've spent way too much money on TS4, and I love all kinds of aspects about it. Dressing up sims, building houses and other stuff, playing out storylines, I love it all. And most of the characters from the rest of the games on this list, I have remade them in TS4 and given them happy endings.

[jbk405]

I'll be heading to Ilos when I get home from work tonight, so I suppose it's time for my overall thoughts on Mass Effect 1 in the Legendary Edition. Only three years after it was first released!

Despite the fact that it's taken me nearly a year to finish this one game, overall I'll give it a thumbs-up in the translation from the original. The story has remained intact unchanged, and most of the upscaled effects work nicely.

There are a few wonky effects changes, which I assume are unintended. The coloring on some of the human character models is odd, and for a few it looks like they're wearing blue/purple lipstick due to the high contrast (Particularly Udina, who frankly cannot pull it off). But thankfully that doesn't effect the crew on the Normandy, who you obviously see more throughout the game.

The updated gameplay style in combat takes some getting used to, but once you do it's easy to work with. If you're completely new to ME and never payed the original you'll have no problem getting used to it. My only complaint here is some of the new weapons they introduced and the poor information presentation to the user: In the original release all weapons of the same type worked the same, but now they've got semi-auto/burst ARs, and single-shot pistols, etc. and this info isn't presented well in the descriptions. So until you actually equip and test them all you have no idea if this new item is going to behave like that one. They're clearly trying to align with the weapons from ME2 and ME3, which I understand, but they should have updated the interface here to explain it.

I like the introduction of a booster to the Mako. It's not revolutionary, but sometimes it's nice to jump off a mountain and rocket straight down.

They weren't lying when they said that level progression would go faster than the original, I think I'm on lvl55 (56?) on this first playthrough. I'm not sure if I'll make it to 60 before the end of the game, but I might. It will definitely be closer than I ever did on a single playthrough before. I've also already gotten the majority of the Achievements, including all Companion achievements and even most Tech/Biotic Achievements. You don't have to replay the game a dozen times to fulfill all the requirements.

My plan is always to use at least two playthroughs on any new character to take advantage of Charm/Intimidate bonuses in addition to maxing out at lvl60, so I'll still be doubling up anyway.

All told, this is pretty much exactly what they promised: A remastered re-release version of the same game, not a remake despite he gameplay changes they did introduce. If you've never played Mass Effect and want to get into the series this could be a good way to start out instead of purchasing the original version.

Once I finish this playthrough I am going to be restarting with a brand new character, which I will plan to import into ME2 and ME3 for the whole series.

Monday News &amp, Notes from FutureTrack

Ahh, and so it bȩgins afterwards. After a significantly, record- breakingly, tunnel- foot- inducingly wet 2023 season, I think all of us in the UK were hoping for some respite this year ( and maybe the prospect of a somewhat drier Badminton ). Alas, it may seem, we’re having no such luck. We’ve already seen a number of illegal cancellations and mid-event abandonments two days into the eventing time. Will we ever find going effectively? Or did next year’s Kronenberg International, where English- based riders are heading en masse, be the first real chance we’ll get to see some eventing over around?

CULTIC (PC/Steam Deck)

A Christmas gift from my friend Hammer

CULTIC is basically Resident Evil 4 by way of Blood; it's a boomer shooter made in Unity but designed to emulate the look of the old 3D Realms Build engine so immaculately it's surreal. It does not shy from its influences, and I would argue it actually flat-out surpasses Blood from what I remember (though it's been a while; I need to try out the NightDive remaster of it) pretty easily. You start out in a (mass) grave, you kill cultists and demons to get revenge, etc. The cultists, their 'god' and creations all carry the RE4 flavour of parasites and such, and there's quite a few homages to it in particular, including one spectacular level entirely.

It controls real well, the guns feel super good and sound great, everything explodes into tasty gore with enough force, enemy heads pop open and gib everywhere, the maps are sprawling and you have to root around for keys and such to advance. It's an enthralling time, what few issues that did crop up (mostly little glitches like the health and armour bars seemingly swapping which value they were mapped to, though the values themselves were always accurate, or collected items not vanishing, some items not triggering, etc) didn't pull me out of it.

I played on the Steam Deck mostly, and while it does run mostly well and is marked Verified, it is hit with slowdown in places where effects must pile up or something, even if it's not always actually on-screen. I don't know how many of the little bugs I hit were Steam Deck-specific either, though I may well find out as it's perfect for replays like all good boomer shooters and I may as well do it on the main machine.

About the only issue I have with it is, by nature, CULTIC has a horror game vein in it and the way this mainly manifests is a lot of really dark areas. Combine that with an aggravating tendency to stick a hit-scanner that makes the whole screen shake and go red continuously on line-of-sight, and I very quickly ended up cranking the brightness to max to get through. If you want a dark scary section in your game, for the love of shit at least don't combine it with flying hit-scan enemies. Though honestly, if you intend for your game's action to matter, I'd prefer if you just avoided total darkness as much as possible, nothing frustrates more. Maybe it was worse on the Steam Deck screen, I dunno.

CULTIC is real good and an easy recommend; the base game comes with an extra DLC level called Interlude, leading up to a paid DLC "Chapter 2" (hence the "Chapter 1" on its Steam page and such), and I look forward to that eagerly.

[proserpine-in-phases]

The conflict between wanting to use my skill points as effectively as possible which means not using any on charm or intimidate, versus my desire to never fail a mission

[lonepower]

oh no

[maxxiedemon]

Seeing the craziness that modding has been achieved on Mass Effect 3, I was wondering...

How hard will it be to edit the voices so we can finally get our dream Miranda/Ashley/Tali/Jack Femshep romances?

Is it even possible to mod in the voices?

Because if it is simply just because of “we have no access to the voice actors” and I can get the audio files to some other lines, I can do some editing to make a “her” version of the romance lines?????

[yelenadelova]

can’t get this out of my head for some reason so here are some random gaming headcanons about the party if they were in modern times (disclaimer: i know a good amount about gaming but i haven’t played all these games/types of games so if this isn’t all accurate my apologies)

Max: she is probably one of the biggest gamers in the group. She has a whole gaming set up she worked really hard to pay for and she’s super protective of it. She’s usually down to play most games and tries stuff from different genres. Her favorites are horror games and battle royale games. She gets super competitive and definitely experienced gamer rage at times.

Favorite games: Dead by Daylight, Resident Evil Series, Apex Legends, Valorant

Will: I think he would be a big fan of open world games. I think he’s especially like games with options for cool combat and magic systems but also just options to chill out, ride a horse, pick flowers, and make potions. He’s also a sucker for a game with cool graphics and/or a good soundtrack.

Favorite games: Skyrim, Breath of the Wild, The Witcher

El: I think El would probably use video games as a stress reliever and would mainly like peaceful/cozy games. She’d also be a big fan of life sims and always spends hours in the character creator for any game. She also likes story games where she can escape into the world and the characters. She likes gaming with Hopper but he’s abysmal and the only game she can consistently get him to play somewhat decently is MarioKart.

Favorite games: The Sims 4, Animal Crossing, Stardew Valley, Life is Strange Franchise

Lucas: I think Lucas likes any games that offer a real challenge. If he hears it’s hard it only wants to make him play it more. He also really likes survival based games where you have to consider your choices, manage your resources, and fight to survive. He also likes some sports games, especially basketball since he plays. He likes games with well thought out world-building and interesting combat/bosses.

Favorite games: Fallout, Valheim, 2k, Elden Ring

Dustin: I think Dustin would probably have the most diverse taste in games. He likes to try new stuff and he especially likes games that challenge his brain. He tends to like games on the nerdier side like superhero games. He also likes classic platform games. He’s the type of gamer who replays games over and over to get high score and unlock all the trophies.

Favorite games: Marvel’s Spiderman, Mass Effect Series, Super Mario

Mike: He is also a super competitive gamer and likes games where he can compete against his friends. He likes combat based games and knows all the combos and moves and character stats. He also likes nostalgic games from his childhood like old Wii games and he always loves the LEGO games (especially Star Wars and Marvel). He also likes any couch co-op type games he can play with the party

Favorite games: Super Smash Bros., Mortal Kombat, LEGO Star Wars, League of Legends, Mario Kart

[doomsayings]

okay real video game talk I revamped one of my fave old Skyrim characters with a new save bc I want to do dark brotherhood quest line .and im having fun. But unfortunately the hair replacer mod I have made Cicero bald (sad)

Also I am thinking of downloading mass effect to replay bc I remembered it suddenly and can’t stop thinking about it. I miss them…the Normandy crew…but also I’ve been saying I’m finally gonna actually play more of disco elysium for real literally I’m at max capacity video game wise Thank god I’m between employment right now
